Kagame to visit Malawi to hold bilateral talks with Chakwera
Rwandan President Paul Kagame is due to arrive in Malawi on August 11 2020 for a two-day official visit in what would be viewed as a show of confidence from international leaders, Nyasa Times has learnt.
According to an officials at Foreign Affairs ministry, President Lazarus Chakwera and First Lady Monica Chakwera will host the Rwandan leader and his wife “on a 2 days state visit beginning on the 11th of August, 2020 at New State House in Lilongwe. “
The Malawi and Rwandan leader are expected to hold bilateral talks.
Kagame last visited Malawi in 2007 when Bingu wa Mutharika was president and inaugurated a 3.3km road named after him.
Chakwera, who won the June 23 fresh presidential election, recently said he had spoken sto Kagame “as part of my quest to forge strategic partnerships towards the strengthening of Capable Democratic Developmental States across the Great Rift Valley.”
He said the aim is “to leverage the bounties of our natural and human resources for the shared prosperity of our peoples.”
Kagame is revered for stopping Rwanda’s genocide and engineering what admirers call an economic miracle.
In 2000, Kagame inherited a country that had been torn apart by genocide. But he has rebuilt the country to a stable, prosperous, unified and, in large part, reconciled.
Social services, such as education, healthcare, housing and livestock are provided to the needy, with no distinction of ethnicity or region of origin – two forms of discrimination that characterised the governments leading up to the genocide against the Tutsi, which Kagame, as leader of the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF), brought to an end.
But his critics see a despot who crushes all opposition and rules through fear
Chakwera, on his part is advancing a mantra of clearing the rubble that has put Malawi into ruins under the previous regime of Democratic Progressive Party (DPP).

My people Rwanda of Kagame has nothing to teach Malawi. I am Rwandan and knows better that all about Kagame and his propaganda. Kagame is ruthless killer who is still assassinating political opponents. He runs a war in Congo for minerals, and he lies to get donors money to build his own buildings in Kigali Central, just to show off, while the majority of Rwandans are starving and don’t even have clean water.
Never wish Malawi to emulate Kagame’s ways, it very dangerous.
Kagame does not associate with mediocrity which, as we have seen so far, is at the heart of Chakwera’s administration. That is why he has rescinded his decision to come to Malawi. Mwagwa nayo.
This is fake news. It appears Nyasatimes is also a spreader of fake news like social media. Be serious please if you need to be taken seriously as a News platform.
It is not fake news, Kagame was scheduled to come BUT he has changed his decision after seeing that Chakwera is clueless. Kagame does not want to be associated with stupidity and hypocrisy. MUSOVA.
I totally agree!!
Him Kagame is intelegent,he has built a VISION city in Kigali,emulate this gesture from him our President Chakwera.
Rwanda is doing very fine, but why do we still have Rwandan Refugees in Malawi?
Because it isn’t. In fact, the area in which Rwanda is excelling well is propaganda. It is good at projecting an image of itself which lures people into believing that its president Kagame has accomplished miracles, though the majority of his citizens are living in worse conditions than they were before the 1994 genocide.
Bodza akulu inu bwanji….
Are you serious? I think there is sometging wrong in your brain. Anyway, I am from Rwanda and live in Kigali. We in Rwanda do not use propaganda as you are saying but results are saying themselves. The problem for you is maybe the jealous that characterize many people. Try to have positive jealous that will lead or direct you to copy what my hero is doing in Rwanda and for Rwandans. Of course my hero is P Kagame
You’re obviously deluded and haven’t visited Rwanda. Go to Kigali and compare it with your dusty Lilongwe. Visit any government school or hospital in Rwanda and compare it with the nyasi you have in Malawi. Visit any public office in Rwanda and marvel at their efficiency. Go to lake Kivu and admire the quality of hotels there.
The roads in Rwanda are tarred and have streetlights, even in low income neighbourhoods. The country attracts serious investors VW, Marriott, Radisson Blu, IBM, CISCO all have branches in Rwanda.
Those Rwandese you see in Malawi are cadets who were hacking others with panga knives during the genocide
Before indulging in blind friendship, the current government needs to sit back and think carefully. In most cases it pays maintaining already established diplomatic ties.
Sit back and delve deeply the origins of the economic bedrock of Rwanda, find out why their troops are still part of the protracted war being fought in DRC. I worked in DRC with Rwandan troops and therefore have first-hand information for their interests in that country.
One shouldn’t be cheated that their administration in Kigali is excellent based on their expert utilisation of their local resources, never. They are basically conduits of the western supper powers who are utilising them to plunder resources in DRC, hence no one can point an accusing finger at Kagame, who in the process benefits massively in their illicit practices.
On his own, minus the stolen resources from DRC, Rwanda couldn’t have been where they are. This plus other negative, unconstitutional practices as perpetrated by Rwanda should give Chakwera’s administration second thoughts. This is why it is advisable that a head of state should have good advisors who know current world order as it were. Devoid of that, the country will be led into a ditch. Look for long term gains and not temporary ones; and this usually come about when you start cutting corners in order to achieve campaign goals early.
Bodza ili, oh and you are there telling us,,oh I was working with troops in DRC, so what? Are you now DRC?
Judge spend some time reading and indeed you will find out a lot about Rwandas dealings. Desperate is correct on this one.
Nonsense
Desiderata you’re just a hater!
If DRC is not able to use it’s own resources to develop it’s own people let’s not blame Rwanda.
DRC has had those minerals since the days of Mobutu Seseseko and what tangible development did they achieve?
If Rwanda is benefiting, that’s better than sending everything to Belgium and France which is what DRC Dictators including Kabila have always done.
Let Kagame teach us his ways
Let Paul Kagame teach you how to steal! Crazy you!
Kagame contributions to the newly elected President was a big $1,000,000 USA . go figure the teaching of loopholes of elections finances..
Any new person in the office of the president do such things, it is a normal approach.
Samalani Naye uyu,of you have some strategies on hardcopy don’t you b bewitched to reveal to him your plans, he took away our vision 2020 strategies c now Malawi is still in 1927 yet
Vision 2020 failed due to umbava starting from Bakili Muluzi’s regime. Nobody told Malawians to start stealing taxpayers money to enrich themselves.

Kagame ????
He should pick up his people from Dzaleka on his way back to Rwanda
Those are not refugees, they are Rwandans living in Diaspora. They are making business. When time come they can decide to come back home. It is their right to live where they want , doors are open to all rwandans wishing to come back. But remember that the genocidaires are fearing to come back home!!
One of the things the Chakwera administration can start emulating from Kagame immediately is emphasis on technology. The Govt needs to remove impediments to technological development such as unreasonably high taxes on technological products and services. These products and services should not be seen as cash cows for the Govt; rather the Govt should focus on the increased business activity that increased usage of technological products and services will bring. In Africa, and Malawi in particular, there is a tendency to milk an already thin cow instead of nurturing it so that it produces even more milk. Technology should be seen as a catalyst for increased business activity, rather than an opportunity for levying punitive taxes. Improvements in technology will have beneficial multiplier effects on employment, health, agriculture, education, etc etc
I recall when Bakili was elected president, he reveled in the admiration of the international community: he had just defeated an oppressive, autocratic regime. But a leopard can’t change its spots! He quickly started doing what he does best! When the international community took umbrage at his thieving ways, he started singing “we’re a sovereign country”, blah blah blah. Bingu was a star performer in his first term — by all standards — and the international community noticed. They feted him quite a bit and it quickly got into his head. He would drop names at the slightest excuse: “when I met Tony Blair… when I met Kofi Annan”, etc. But his true colours started showing and the international community weren’t very happy with him. He then started singing the same tune: “we are a sovereign country” blah blah. JB was one lucky gal. He was in office for a very short time and managed to convince the international community that she was never involved in the rampant thieving under her rule. This was all bullshit, of course!
Anyways, here’s hopping many more Kagames of this world will visit The Church Mouse Laz, and that he won’t ever need to sing the song: “we’re a sovereign country”, blah blah.
