Paramount chief for us Chewas is Lundu not Kaomba. Kaomba is senior chief.
This chief is never short of controversies. Can’t he be sacked for good.
This is how the new land bill will work for the poor malawian in the village. It will not be easy for chiefs to grab land from people as they used to do ans thats why they are hating this Law because it is controlling their abuse of power over poor malawian villagers
