This is what I always say: We produce hardly anything apart from Tobacco, which kills the world, Maize, not enough to feed ourselves and children,
feeding themselves from the crumbs falling under our tables !
We need a legislation to regulate this !
If not consequences of overpopulation, child labour and child trafficking will be massive in our society!

Totally irresponsible man! People like you should be in jail for putting your children through hardship! Women say know to such men! These are people who are keeping our country backwards! Now I can see why ikn some countries there is a law about how many children any one can have!

A family is not a child production unit. If we give our children no more support than we give to day-old chicks
– throw a little food at them from time to tine – what kind of country will we have?

It’s also worth remembering that the genocide in Rwanda was mainly the result of population pressure on the land.

Contraception alone will not cure this problem. While some Malawians believe they are real women or men judged by how many children they can produce, the population will continue to explode. Education is vital, and so is the need to reassure people that they don’t need to rely only on their children to look after them in their old age. It’s a vicious circle that successive governments have not done enough to break: just making speeches won’t break cultural practices of many generations, and now child, mother mortality is less, the problem continues to grow.
