First Lady at Zomba State Lodge on Saturday at luncheon

The first lady said this at Zomba State Lodge on Saturday when Beautify Malawi (BEAM) hosted a fundraising luncheon for the promotion of the Trust’s activities in Zomba and other eastern region districts.

“I have fond memories of Zomba as I spent four years of my secondary school at St Marys and that time it looked greener and Zomba used to be so beautiful. However, things have changed now.

“If you walk around the district nowadays you will see so many people coming down the mountains carrying charcoal and firewood, and when I see this I ask myself if we will have trees in time to come,” wondered Mutharika.

She therefore called upon people living in Zomba and surrounding areas to take the responsibility of planting trees, flowers to restore the lost glory of the district.

She then said BEAM Trust cherishes the banner My Clean Community My Responsibility My Pride as it believes that there is the possibility that Malawi can recreate a cleaner and healthier environment for its citizens.

On the money that was raised during the luncheon Mutharika assured the patrons that the proceeds would be used transparently for the Trust’s activities in Zomba and the eastern region districts.

Zomba Mayor, Christopher Jana said Zomba in its days as the capital city of Malawi used to be green, beautiful and clean.

He said it was therefore the wish of Zomba City to have the old capital restored to its past glory through concerted efforts.

He therefore expressed gratitude to BEAM Trust for its commitment to help restore Zomba’s past glory.

Apart from restoring the environment, BEAM has been offering scholarships to needy children, constructing girls hostels, and providind refuse collection vehicles in cities

  2. This is like own goal. You have a husband who is running the country and you sleep next to him very evening. Zomba has deteriorated under his watch and also other cities and towns. It is a shame that you’re raising money for BEAM when your husband has looted millions of dollars that you don’t even know what to do with it. Why take more from the poor madam. Use what you have looted to develop Zomba and uplift people.

  3. She has fond memories of Zomba after spending 4 years at Mary Mount secondary school. SHIT. I just hope it is the report which is wrong but if not then her brain is or has become rusty like her old husband.

  4. Sad,sad and sad. My home district!!!! Who can manage gas!!!!!! I was there and asked the prize!!!! Woo!!!!! So expensive!!!!!

  5. WHO COMMITTED THE FIRST SIN.
    I wanted to ask my fellow Malawians who loves Malawi n the coming generation about what i hear about Quota system. Most people though a few n number are demanding that the system be abolished cause its favoring one tribe not region. They are even going further mentioning that Lomwe tribe is occupying all good positions in gvt. my 1st n simple question is; Is it indeed true that quota is favoring 1 tribe n how. 2nd question; who introduced the System n y? Coz me i believe that there is no smoke without fire. Can somebody tell me about what i heard about Mzuzu corner n who introduced it n y n how long it has been killing Malawi’s young generation including myself? If its true y then Malawians r quite. is it not a dangerous corruption n nepotism which is far much worse than quota which we sing a song nowadays. I really know that quota was introduced by Mzuzu corner n those people who used to say they are genius n public while underneath are playing a dirty game n Bingu just came to say that if you guys are doing that then i will help you to introduce quota for equal n fair chance in our Malawi n not region nor tribe universities. And that makes real sense coz Malawi is 1 such that whoever lives in it must get equal opportunity. It really surprises me to c sb talking about getting employment based on education n experience merit while to get such education, sb is saying no merit after stealing Exams because the Cousins n Uncles are there at Maneb n Universities teaching. Between Quota n Mzuzu Corner which is the first sin to be addressed. My fellow Malawians Its time to wake up n say enough is enough. As we strive to change the political will of our Nation, we must consider also that stealing exams, fielding our brothers both in gvt n public sectors is causing the first sin to kill the Malawi generation hence the support of QUOTA SYSTEM in STRONGLY terms. This is part one…

    1. We don’t want such type of writing like a standard 6 drop out. Write in chichewa.

      1. Don’t insult the std 6s. I did my std 6 in 1966 and stopped school. I write and speak good English. This one is just dull.

        1. @kanchenga; Just dated yourself right there. And I should also say, your writing, for sure, does reflect a primary school drop out. Perhaps you too should consider writing in your vernacular.
          Leave Benni Hope alone.

    2. Benni Hope, don’t comment on things you don’t understand. Malawi is one and we need it to be like that forever. We went to university from the southern region when there was no QUOTA system and the same will apply to those who are hardworking. Let’s just encourage our children they will make it to public universities. All developed countries do not practice what we do in Malawi. Quota is divisive if you do not know. On the other hand Madam First Lady is as dull as his husband. How can you expect people stop using firewood when there is no electricity?

    1. To Dipipi ya Udiefu, writing above. I don’t think there’s mention of Mary Mount Secondary School in the report. It’s St. Mary’s Secondary School.
