Vice President Saulos Chilima has said conflicts were a threat to peace as were political conflicts and should be treated...
I believe as anation we need to learn and do justice we all belong to mother Malawi. Our leaders do not take us for granted our prayers can decide your destiny
Let’s see. Thengere people, you’ve heard it for yourselves. Federalism won’t help. If you are gonna have the kind of autonomy that you are seeking then try Secession. Nyasa @34 has elegantly expounded on a few issues. It is clear that both Edge & Nyasa have offered SECESSION to the Thengeres, on a silver platter. No fuss, no bloodshed! The question then arises: Does a PARASITE voluntarily leave its host? Simple answer is a resounding NO. My Propositional Logic leads me to conclude that the North cannot secede, even if the president permitted it. The North is TOO DEPENDENT a… Read more »
The problem in Malawi is depravity of the masses. They are besoted with mindless hatred for each other. Leaders are likewise perverts who formulate discriminatory policies and perpetrate them with impunity. It’s madness; how do you want to rule a people you openly hate so much? Aukila kumene. You Will have no country to rule.
One thing is being overlooked. The “north” is not one homogneous region. I would even venture to say the north is culturally more diverse that the south, which is in turn more diverse than the center. We already know some Ngonis in Mzimba would like to declare a Ngoni kingdom of their own. I don’t see the Tongas being content under the umbrella of the “Tumbukas” (trust me on this, I grew up in the north). On the other hand, as a Yao I don’t want to be saddled witbh the Lomwes, if the Mutharika brothers are anything to go… Read more »
I don’t know about other countries but here in nigeria,the governors are elected by the the citizens just like the president is elected by the citizens also,so the president has limited powers over the governors! Its the constitutionally right for the state house of assembly to impeach a serving state governor for irregularities such as funds embezzlement,corruption e.t.c the president has no power in the nigerian constitution to impeach or remove a serving state governor, we also have a federal legislature a bi-cameral one such as the house of representative(the lower house) and the senate(the upper house) both are referred… Read more »

i think we in the south must become an independent covntry.
well said Prof Edge Kanyongolo. It is in fact surprising how the so called leadrned colleagues seem not to understand the centrality of central government in a federal system. I am surprised that even the advocates such as Ngwira himself, Jesse Kabwila and Chakwera are myopic and ignorant about federal state government. So civic education must start with these people before we go to the masses.
State govts will be responsible for day to day activities in their states. Central govt will look after the army, collection of national taxes, paying the army and police distributing the national budget to states through parliament etc. Civil service will function as usual. Distribution of state development will be responsibility of federal through parliament and states will decide priorities..
Some Malawians have run federal govt in RSA. states.

it is a clean word
