Malawi is a small country and we cannot compare it with South Africa in many ways, where I want to disagree with the writer is the comparison on development.

Malawi was simply a collection of rural villages without… Read more »

Isibande, You are very right and on-point. Unfortunately, very few Malawians will be able to buy your ideas. We need people who can think outside the box to develop this country. NGOs are non-governmental organizations in Africa but they are Governmental Organizations back home from where their finances come from. Unfortunately, to make sense out of an NGO post, one must be seen to be talking and talking and talking even if it means talking nonsense. Those attacking you for having divergent views are doing so out of ignorance. They might not be aware that much as Malawi has the… Read more »

I have heard that RSA will go back to the introduction of visas like was the case with Botha Government. This is the first screening. Secondly the deployment of the Soldiers will become permanent on the Borders. Thirdly they will search in dark corners of the cities and will catch and arrest all illegal immigrants and repatriate all if them to their respective countries. There is also a campaign to dig on how those legally staying in RSA how they got their papers. Keith this, over 3million Malawians will be repatriated back home. My advice to VP Saulos Chilima is… Read more »

Sibande if one of your relatives was among those that died in the recent Xenopohobia I believe that you would’t have had time to write the well written article as you have done. This means that in your thinking you are not balancing up, that’s why you are thinking in the way a boot-licker thinks. We have not ended up our relationship with South Africa but all in all our message of anger has been passed.

The fact that South Africa supported or supports Malawi in a number of ways does not justify the xenophobic attacks. It is better to live a poor but dignified life than to be degraded and inhumanly mistreated by the brutal and savage South Africans.
