We have two fundamental problems: 1. In his famous dictum, the renowned Prussian strategist, Carl von Clausewitz stated that ‘war is politics continued by other means’. Unfortunately, for us politics is tribal war continued by other means. We don’t have honorable opponents in parliament; we have enemies who must be crushed at all costs, and it is the poor, struggling, grass-roots Malawian who must pay those costs. 2. In his famous dictum, the renowned Canadian communications guru, Marshall McLuhan stated that ‘the medium is the message’. Unfortunately, in Malawi we don’t care about the medium or the message. For us,… Read more »

The problem is Malawians themselves. We allow politicians to cheat us, rob us, and yet we keep quiet. So the solution or the answer to all these problems is revolution. Malawians complete too much, but they don’t act. It’s time to stand up and act. Our leaders are not helping and it’s time to show them that we can’t stand the heat anymore.

Zabwino zonse. Just take a closer look, which people in our country are languishing more than the other. These are the so called die hards of DPP. They thought by voting a fellow tribesman things will change they forgot that most of them have touched low base with xcool and their source of income depends on good climate patterns. And now with their clueless leader and poor rains how are they going to survive. Now apinda michira and are talking in low tones for the folly they made. Ifeel soory for them kaya

You miss it all Thom. Your article is very inconsistent dude. You seem to have lost the real touch of Malawi. You seem to be watching the warm heart from the horizons. Let me first correct you that non of our neighboring countries are swimming in glory as you are saying. My job involves alot of travelling within SADC countries and I have never seen in my entire life very poor people like I see when I go to Mozambique. I mean I have been to locations without any maize mill,no any shop, no any school, in short without any… Read more »

All is not lost. The answers to prayers of faithful Malawians to God are at Hand but only the blind don’t see the solutions because the evil in their hearts has blinded them from God’s abundant wealth for our beloved Mother Malawi. This wealth from God will be poured to the nation only when true leadership will take the highest seat. As long as murderers, criminals, monsters, gangsters and illegitimate leaders (DPP) are on the highest seat Malawi’s Greatest Glory will be not be released. My fellow Malawian just hold on to your faith and hoping that all is well… Read more »

The problem is in this very article: You expect the Leaders to make it better for you! well I have got news for you! you have to make it better for yourself by working with the leaders instesd of admonishing them all the time, you work hard so that the country becomes productive! you stop stealing so that the leaders have money to use in implementing their policies! You are blind that is why malawi is in trouble! very blind indeed you are”! wake up and get to realise that Malawi will move forward with ALL OF US WORKING TOGETHER!… Read more »

Who brought the country to its knees by April 2012? It is DPP. Who is ruling now? It is DPP. MRA is failing because DPP politicised it. In 2010 DPP rentrenched over 200 staff so that DPP can bring its suppporters into MRA. MRA will never perform. No need to blame the opposition as the ball is in DPP’s hands. Certainly the opposition should not go begging DPP. Malawians again put in govt a party DPP that fail them up to April 2012 and most Malawians are now paying the high price. It is impossible for DPP to restore the… Read more »

loose canon seems to suppose that political parties joining forces will help. My analysis is different: the political parties are bickering because politicians have no xpertise in governance and are only looking for personal gain. That means we need a whole new generation of polticians, democratically or otherwise. The problem with our democracy is that we have no choice: all political parties represent only their own interests, which are logically those of the ruing class. We need polticians representing others: the working class and the farmers. New blood, and get rid of this generation of profiteers.
