I’m currently so scared. Malawi is so corrupt. You can’t believe anything people say. Its ALL about money. Nobody can win a case on honesty here. Its the one reason I fear living here
Some of these deaths must be thoroughly investigated. We need forensic scientist and pathologists. Osamangonamizira mowa nthawi zonse. If the man was a heavy drinker, why did he not die yesterday? Bwino nazotu nanu a tolankhani mumagundika ngati mumakhala momwera mowamo.
Ndikadakonda boma likadayika malamulo okhwima anthawi yomwela mowa komanso malo ogulitsira mowa akhale oyenera osati ndimu hawker momwe mowa 6am atsegula kale
Come again Mbatha.
I wish Malawi politicians were like this guy, kuti tikawadzudzula kuti akuba, they should go and hang themselves to prove otherwise.
