Malawians do not be deceived by outcomes from sideline meetings between two heads of states. Much of that is for the camera. Diplomatic relations are between states and not between heads of states. It is folly for anyone to conclude that because Mutharika shook hands with Magufuli then everything is fine. Those who are old enough please revisit the meetings between Kamuzu Banda and Samora Macheal of Mozambique.

I for one cannot be easily convinced on this issue. Malawians are easily taken up. Please digest before you believe anything. Do not trust tanzania. You will regret. Wait and see

Are those hugs,smiles & hand shakes real? Were they coming from DEEP down of their hearts?

Such cordial presidential encounter is most welcome by citizens our two nations.
We know the Malawi Lake border case is there to be compromised logically and not forcibly.
The nearby lake dwellers on both sides want to use the waters of the lake as one of their inelianable rights.
So the border should justifiably be at the centre of the lake.

what happens in public on this is just for the PR. TZ must recall all the offensive maps she published.

Yahya Jameh, what you have written about Likoma Island and Malawi Army soldiers fighting Mozambique soldiers is not true. Ask the Elders who were there when things happened and they will guide you..

Dear Malawians, lets sometimes apreciate the deeds of our leaders regardless the negative attitudes we have in minds. Always I will grill,grill,grill grill what? Instead of uniting and forge aheard you are just thinking of bad vocabullary against your elected constitutionally leaders. Wait for your time we will grill you as well. What type of Malawi are you trying to create without love and mercy. Basi mukangotumizidwa kunja kukangophunzirako pang’ono kubwera kuno kuyamba phokoso I will grill you I will grill you grill what? Go and grill your families. Malawians dont like grilling one another but sitting down together disscuss… Read more »

Both Nyasa Times and some commentators on this forum have no ability to analylize politicians. Politicians are funny characters, they use diplomacy to fool the outside world. So, the hugs and smiles may not necessarily what they mean in really, but rather the opposite. If you follow the politics of Tanzania, parliament is more powerful than the President while in Malawi it is the opposite. Therefore, while Magufuli may show wide smiles, he has no power to take a decision before parliament approved. Once pressure mounts on him to continue demanding part of Lake Malawi that’s when you will know… Read more »

This is the diplomacy we wanted! Osati zomangoyenda kwa T/A Ngongoliwa. Contact and dialogue irons out misunderstandings brought in by “bad reporting of our journalists” (just rephrasing Rev Makondesa’s words). For once ndiyamikireko young Ngongoliwa for meeting Magufuli. That’s the way to go boy! keep it up!

As far as am concerned you can not trust a swahili(tanzanian). They may be under pressure because of their people who are being prosecuted here. Let us make sure we guard what belongs to us jelously including using any means possible. Let us not disappoint the generations to come just because of unsatisfactory reasons like greed and lack of determination amongst our current leaders. If lake Malawi belongs to us why is it that starting from independence our security men were and are not able to patrol it up to the shores of Tanzania because thats where the border is.… Read more »
