Mutharikas, Are you really Malawians? Who and what are you to make the country apart from Thyolo cry? This is why you go earlier than you come to power. Know that the mouths of the people are worse than the AK 47 that easily arrest the heart (cardiac) of the trouble causer. I don’t think you are having good nights this time unless you tell me you are just figure of human being. Kaliati and now Chaponda will just make you die quickly as your brother did – why? Because they clause your ears and eyes for you to hear… Read more »

Kamuzu had MCP in all three regions by force using Unilty, Loyalty, Obedience and Discipline. Consequently, he had ministers from all three regions. This followed UDF who after running Malawi co-jointly with UDF had ministers from all 3 regions and so was Bingus’ DPP. When Bingu died, all ministers and MPs’ from the North bumped DPP and joined PP. The rich representation of DPP in the North was all gone! the representation was from 100% coverage was reduced to 5% coverage. The defecting candidates thought they had burried DPP together with Bingu for good. The representation at the Center also… Read more »

I can see several beneficeries of quota system failing to figure out what is highlighted in the story. We have people in Malawi who have built houses in other countries and Malawi is independent of those countries but no single individual has come to say your houses should be removed to where you originate. You also have several people working abroad which means your South, Central & North will be our abroad. We are just waiting to vote on referendum.

Livingstonia synod does not speak for north Malawi neither does ntemi kyungu. They should together with all sober minds be focusing on the issues that have triggered tthe call for the federation.

Calls for Federal System of govt or leting north to stand alon as a country can not be a solution for the current political cricis. I feel that the best way is to address the causative agent for these calls.If the causative agent is the issue of quota,tribalism,nepotism,an unequal distribution of resources ,then why can’t we take appropriate measures for these problems?.let us be one when we are both in Malawi and in diaspora.

This only shows how empty you are in the head. First the issue is not about Atumbuka constructing houses in South or Centre, its about National development and equal opportunities not personal issues. Houses are built using personal money but National Development uses government resources. It only shows how empty you are that you cannot even understand the debate no wonder you are cryi g very hard for qouta system cause you can’t compete on merit. I doubt if you even went through the corridors of the University, I really doubt.

Too much nepotism in the Mtharikas governments. The issue of quota system only set to deal with the northerners. stupid. mayeso ndi amozi musiyanisa bwanji masankhidwe? Zimatipweteka.

There is a deviation here. Put simpler, a problem is rearing its ugly face here. When you deviate from God’s ways, problems become the order of the day. In God’s eyes, we are equals. If we were guided by this principle, issues of federalism and whatever you call it, would not have been bothering us. The Mutharikas have brought in Malawi serious nepotism that has never been known before. Even during the reign of Kamuzu Banda, we used to have many ministers from the north. Bakili and Joyce Banda had many northerners in their respective cabinets. Bingu and Pitala have… Read more »

If we had credible elections during the May 2014, we would probably have elected into government, visionary leadership that would act as a unifying catalyst to correct inevitable divisions that normally follow general elections. There is interesting terminology in information technology which says GIGO= Garbage In Garbage Out. You normally get out what you have put in. We put into power a government (DPP) that probably does not see anything wrong in permeating tribalism and ethnicity. Hence, the current surge of redeployment of parastatal and foreign postings in government positions. The acceleration of the quota system etc. How does one… Read more »

Man is an interesting creature. At this point, it is North versus South/Center. When the North secedes, another battle will begin, Tumbuka versus Tonga. Another secession debate will ensue, with Nkhatabay and Mzimba seeking to become independent and so will the trend run, until, every family becomes an independent entity. No one can claim that being a Lhomwe at this point benefits you because President is a Lhomwe. Seriously, apart from the “pride” of your president being Lhomwe, how are all the Lhomwe’s benefiting? Life is a battle that can only be won at an individual level. With hard work… Read more »
