There is no doubt that Dr. Banda shall always be the most discussed politician in the history of Malawi. What I always request from us who want to write about him is to do so within the context of global, regional and national politics. Like I can read from the comments below Mr. Kainja could have done better on this topic. Of course, he tried to sound fair but I think he lost it by failing to explain what else was happening on the global, regional and national platforms. Key features of this context are a) The Cold War b)… Read more »
@Keny Y.G. Mphepo: Mwananyanian here. As usual, yours is a good and relevant contribution to the discussion at hand. And a good reminder, here, of our history too BUT, regarding Kainja’s thesis, where do you really stand on Kamuzu’s achievements V his major Achilles? As historical as Kainja’s analysis is, it also concentrates on the deficiencies of the former dictator. In the past, you have championed Kamuzu, I know; and, you must have what you consider valid reasons. And I have never read you acknowledging the political shortfalls and human rights abuses of the MCP hero. Furthermore, Kamuzu’s dismal record… Read more »
Jimmy Kainja is an educated idiot. Fools become more foolish with education. Basi unachalira kuti dpp ikudyetsapo apa. Kamuzu Banda remains the best both as a wise leader and an intelligent person not the ghost you manja lendelende ngati nkhuku or flightless bird.
Kainja casts a wide arc of Kamuzu’s legacy. And, I am glad too, that Kainja concentrates on the negative side of the ledger here. That is only is appropriate. That is alright too; but in political history, future generations must know, in the main, the BAD things done by BAD politicians — to wit: Hitler, Mussolini et al. The reason being to prevent or minimize the chances of the BAD history from repeating itself. So, in that sense, some will argue that we don’t even want to know any of the good things that Kamuzu, the dictator did. (There were… Read more »
I won’t subscribe myself with Kamuzu because his Negative side outweigh his positive side.
U can’t compare killing innocent people with development.
My granny was prisoned at Zomba maximum prison just because he was a member of watch Tower Church ( ( Jehovah’s Witness)) As they were not subscribing to his idea of buying Cards with his personal details.
MCP YAVUTIKA. celebrate in style ndi ma pioneers. I will never vote for MCP. Voting for reverend…Kutaya nthawi Leading a nationis not like leading assemblies God Church.
Well balanced article Jimmy. Compared to all post-1994 leaders Malawi has had, Kamuzu wins with a landslide hands down. Tikuvutika in a so called democracy being misruled by know it all idiots who fought Kamuzu while they were enjoying themselves in the comfort of developed countries.
I have loved this article. Many do not know what Kamuzu Banda did to many innocent Malawians.
No one mentions all the good things Kamuzu gave to Malawians such as university, hospitals, electricity power stations. research stations, colleges of nursing and medicine and many more all of which are suffering from lack of funding from government to government; which are preoccupied with cash gate!!!
Thank you for this article Jimmy Kainja. Only those not affected will find your writing useless.
No need to comment any further, kainja or whatever u call yourself ,shame on you,with the current situation in Malawi you still hate Kamuzu, the problem with people like you is that, bola mukudya bwino kwanu ndi ndalama zakuba,it doesn’t matter kaya neba wadya, un patriotic, shame on you,mbc tv yomwe mukuthandizana nayo kunamiza anthu mukupangira my building yopanga KAMUZU,for ur information imene ija inali ” kwacha international conference center, 25 years of democracy akukanika kumanga building yoikamo tv, ntchito kutukwana KAMUZU kuchokera mu building yake kkkkkkkkkk
There is a good reason why God made us in His own image. But made us in different colours, height, intellect, stupidity, ………….I need a coffee……..
