Living in the past will not help us. We can not resurrect Chihana. He was a man of his time. That is why we should honour him as hero. But the present belong to us who have miserably failed to hold AFORD together. It is now in fragments because we did not learn enough lessons from Chihana. The vices that killed AFORD are the same vices that are responsible for the economic mess Malawi is in at the present moment. Our weakness as a people is that we like we do not take lessons from our own history.
