Mutharika. who was scheduled to attend, sent a last minute apology that she would not attend. It was indicated that Gender Minister Patricia Kaliati would instead represent her.

The conference was by Mrs. Kim Simplis Barrow, the Spouse of the Prime Minister of Belise and Special Envoy for Women and Girls at United Nations General Assembly Building, New York, USA.

Banda  spoke on “Call to global action-invest. In and unleash women and girls’ economic potential as part of the solution to building a more just and sustainable world”.

Former President Banda called on the First Ladies and the global leaders to “use their influence and second citizens to promote causes that advance the economic empowerment of women and girls.”

Malawi ex-leader  Banda called for political will in mainstreaming policies and programs that reduce gender gaps.

She appealed to the global leaders to enhance support activities that bring incomes into households, as this is key to overcoming challenges faced by women and girls.

Banda further called for increased smart partnerships between governments, private sector and development agencies in taking a holistic approach in addressing women empowerment and development of a girl child.

The conference is aimed establishing a First Ladies Global Fund for women and girls financial health. First Ladies of Turkey, Suleman, Malaysia, Rwanda and Tanzania also addressed the conference.

On Wednesday, September 24, 2014, former President Banda launched Joyce Banda Foundation International Africa Initiative (JBFI Africa) at the United Nations General Assembly Building in New York United States.

The function that drew together international Development Agency, philanthropists, investors, family and friends was held over breakfast. Former President Banda announced the launch of the JBFI Africa with a vision, “African women taking a holistic approach to transform their lives together”

The program will have five pillars: Income generation through agri-business, education, health, leadership and rights. The Initiative will be rolled out in South Africa, Malawi, Kenya, Uganda, DRC, Gabon, Liberia, Ghana, Egypt and Mauritania.

  1. Koma kunena chilungamo apapa yakula ndi nsanje. They know JB is not their match internationally. If you JB haters do not accept kuti JB sinzanu, zanu izo. Think of the past first ladies and their trusts which ends when the presidency of their spouses come to an end because of lack of vision on how to make them survive. And think of NABW, JB Foundation and now JBFAI which has just been launched. What does all this tells you about the woman behind these foundations?. What does the unending international invitations to different forums tells you? If I were the first lady I would have found out what makes this woman popular and follow her steps so that my BEAM should continue even after the presidency of APM.

  2. The first lady must really appreciate the good work being done by jb.its an honour for malawi to have its former president chairing such a gathering.being a malawian the first lady must feel proud of jb instead of a boycott. When malawians went to the elections they spoke through the ballot.pliz those who lost stop throwing spanners. Wait for your chance to come. Stop hatred you malawians have never tasted blood shed. Stop this nosense! Before you burn this beautiful country into ashes.~weekly mwale is a zimbabwean whose parents originated from nkhata bay.

  6. Madam Getrude dont be selfish you need to appreciate what JB is doing and achieving, if you want things to go well learn from others. The Holy spirit must guide you, Amen.

  7. INDEED THE WORKS OF ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL WOMEN IN AFRICA! IF TRUTH BE TOLD DURING JOYCE BANDA’S FIRST 5 MONTHS AS PRESIDENT SHE DID QUITE A LOT TO THE BENEFIT OF MANY MALAWIANS INCLUDING PETER MUTHALIKA.DONORS THAT HAD DESERTED MALAWI BECAUSE OF POOR GOVERNANCE OF LATE BINGU WERE BROUGHT BACK AND IN THE PROCESS FOREX PROBLEMS BECAME A THING OF THE PAST.FUEL PROBLEMS WERE RESOLVED BY BRINGING IN AUTOMATIC FUEL PRICING SYSTEM WHICH PETER MUTHALIKA IS ALSO USING UP NOW YET HIS LATE BROTHER BINGU AND DPP ARROGANTLY REJECTED IT.JB ALSO HAD TO UNDERSTAND AND AGREE WITH THE DONORS TO DEVALUE THE MALAWI KWACHA AND ALSO ADOPT THE FLEXIBLE EXCHANGE RATE SYSTEM WHICH HAS BROUGHT POSITIVE RESULTS TO THE MALAWI ECONOMY A THING WHICH LATE BINGU AND DPP ALSO ARROGANTLY REJECTED.
    COMPARED WITH THE 5 MONTHS OF THE PROFESSOR, IT IS ONLY THE LOMWES WHO CAN SAY SOMETHING GOOD BECAUSE THEY HAVE OCCUPIED ALL GOVERNMENT SENIOR POSITIONS AT THE EXPENSE OF OTHER TRIBES.SO JOYCE BANDA DESERVES TO BE AMONGST THE WOMEN OF SUBSTANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOVERNMENT MINISTRIES AND DEPARTMENTS HAVE BEEN UNDERFUNDED IN THE 5 MONTHS OF PETER MUTHALIKA RULE,CIVIL SERVANTS DEMANDED AT LEAST 50% INCREASE TO THEIR LOW SALARIES YET PETER HAS ONLY AWARDED THEM 24%. TRIBALISM IS AT ITS HIGHEST LEVEL NOW HENCE THE CALLS FOR SECESSION AND FEDERALISM WHICH WERE UNHEARD OF DURING MULUZI AND JOYCE BANDA RULE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  8. Za Chamba basi, or atanyanyala ife zitithandizapo chani First lady wanuyo. Bweraniko kuno muzakumane ndi ma civil servant akufuna increament kuno, Passport k40,000.00. federalism debate ikumudikilanso kuno or muchoneko kumeneko, a Malawi muzawapezabe basi.

  9. NONSE AMENE MUKUPANGA COMMENT IN FAVOUR OF JB MULIBE NZERU. NDI CHIFUKWA CHIYANI JB AKUMAMULONDA APM ? OSAPANGA TRIP YAKE NTHAWI YOSIYANA BWANJI. KUPANGA COMPARE FL NDI JB NDIKUPANDA NZERU. OSAPANGA COMPARE APM NDI JB YO BWANJI.JB YO WAKUTHANDIZANI CHANI ? PANO TADANA NDI MA DONORS CHIFUKWA CHA NDANI ? A PP NONSE MULIBE NZERU.

  10. Maseko chomwe umadziwa iwe ndi mankhwala basi. Apa ndekuti chizungu sukananva wati ndipusapo apa ndithawe. You cant run away from the shadow of JB. She is one of the most powerful women in the world. The most powerful in Africa. You dont even qualify to be her house maid. Wisen up woman. kunyasa nkhope ngati amuna ako choncho. muli ndi mwayi simuzabereka anthu inu.

  11. To the first lady of Malawi; its just the begining its not the end. Be ready to shun more comferences becoz JB will adress the world class women than you can imagine

  12. The most foolish behaviour any First Lady would want to demonstrate at simple interactive First Ladies’ Summit on Education!
    The President must have given the nod to Gertrude to boycott the Summit! Primitive thinking which has no place in modern democracy!
    Yes JNB boycotted APM’s 9 June Inauguration but two wrongs don’t make a right! Gertrude should have herself and would have attended JNB’s presentation. The reality is that JNB cannot be matched with Gertrude socially and economically. Besides at the rate JNB is going and if she employs the right team, 2019 is all hers! People are now regretting the choice they made on 20 May! Joyce Banda was never nepotistic and discriminatory!
    humbled herself and

  13. Ooooooooops! Are those men I see in the picture among the First Ladies also First Ladies? Bwanji nanga simunafunse kuti andevuwo akufunako chiyani? This is primitive backwardness!

  14. Kupusa kwa munthu basi. Ena akuti what was JB doing at the First Ladies conference. I find that truly absurd as there was need for other women to speak to the First Ladies or did you want them to talk to themselves? Advice comes from outsiders not insiders as people would say what they expect from them as First Ladies. Why is it that when there is a women’s meeting or conference you do not question the presence of men there who sometimes are keynote speakers? JB ndi kawawa mutani mutani mungovutika. The conference organizers had the right and power to invite whoever they wanted to give a speech at the conference. Awa a Gertrude ndi umbuli ukuwavuta and just imagine doing that in a foreign country? Gertrude you are a disgrace to Malawian women and the world as a whole. Watichititsa manyazi and know that you are suffering from PhD syndrome. Next time women perform badly in either polls or anything just know that you are responsible because of what you have done in New York. Ukatengera za Kaliyati usochera as Kaliyati ndi mbuzi ya munthu. Do you remember what she said when JB was sworn in power? Amafuna kaudindotu and the two years she was out of position anthu anapumatu. Mwamuna wakeyo ali pamavuto adzaoneni ndi khuzumule adamupatsayo

  15. Guys lets leave these issues and spend our time on issues of national importance. The main task Malawians need to do now is to vote for MIXON FALUWEKI, the boy who developed a bicycle charger.

  16. You can take a woman out of the Ghetto, you can never take the Ghetto out of a woman, Gertrude has just shown the whole world that………… What a shame!!!!!

  17. U First Lady umaulilira Ija ndi umanewo. You take the good, the bad, and the ugly, but you do not run away from responsibility. You ‘re
    such a chicken! Such an embarrassment !!!!!

  18. U First Lady umaulira Uja ndi umanewo, you take the good, the bad, and the ugly but you do not run away from responsibility. You are such a chicken, an embarrassment!!!!!

  19. If the ex-president who also happens to be a woman was there and a woman cabinet minister was there, what more do u people want from First Lady Getrude? Don’t take things personal otherwise channel your hatred toward something personally important.

    1. The forum was for First Ladies and JB was the Key note speaker!!!! Miserable looking Getrude Maseko should have been in attendance and not Chinyau Kaliati

  20. Kodi chijoyce ndi first Lady? mchawa uyu akulephera kuona ndi kuvomekeza kuti ku Sanjika tinamuchotsako. Pobwera akafikira ku maula, maina pa cashgate atuluka, timuona kapena adzera kwa TB Joshua naye part ya guest house ikamuphize pang’ono. Hehede mchawa jb

  21. JB more fire, the first lady can not make statements in such big meetings comparing to JB, the fact that she is first lady does not mean that she is more inteligent than amai. Simunati muona.

  22. Many people are writing this out of Ignorance, Mrs Mutharika has done nothing wrong and it was an insult for our leadership to get an Invitation whilst in the USA. Currently the program that is running is that of the United Nations which head of States are attending. There is no Agenda or Fora for the Retired leaders to be present to hold meetings there…….. and Mai JB is trying to shadow the President and influencing Powerful NGO’S to organise meetings involving the wives of Presidents on an Agenda which would likely not be rejected by any head of state. She is trying to repair her image after Cashgate and recovering from the bruises of defeat she suffered in MAY 2014. If the program was genuine and sanctioned by UN, our Delegation would have received it through the invitations by the UN, but that was not the case. As a matter of respect to our Head Of state and the Malawi Government it was right that the first lady and Kaliati declined the Invitation. Let mai Joyce Banda do her programs and the President do the work that he was invited to do, our leader should not involve himself with personality issues.

    1. Drakes, you are totally misguided. We are not talking about Pater we are talking about Gertrude. There are many meetings that happen at the UN. This pathetic looking First Lady has been a disgrace

    2. personality issues? go back to class and learn english,may be you wanted to say ”personal issues?” anaway, but please improve,now mrs mutharika boycotted the meeting for obvious reasons-ego!to be honest here,donors dont like dpp,just like pp,but to the donors pp is a lesser evil,thus why we are facing these problems,its very difficult for donors to trust the dpp gvt again,am being honest here,the donors will come back only if dpp is kicked out of gvt,i hate this reality as a malawian but thus true,this will be the cause of another dpp downfall,look since dpp came into power there is literally nothing that has changed,completely nothing,but rather worsening,civil service peanat salaries,thugery,burglary,nepotism(coruption) is rising,disunity(the biggest of all),these will lead to dpp’s downfall,no civil servant is happy with dpp,except may be the lhomwes who support dpp because of ignorance.

  23. Malawi? Its a pity to be a Malawian. Shame to what is happening. Nothing good is heard of this God forsaken country unless Malawians change there attitude then we can progress.

  24. I think the mutharikas must feel ashamed of themselves. They are practising primitive politics. Surely the first lady has no convincing explanation on why she failed to attend. Let her accept that JB is in class of her own. Its either she swims with her of she sink. JB is our icon in Malawi.

  25. Man (woman) always search for fame. I don’t think there is an issue here. I don’t think Joyce thinks she is in competition with Getrude. If she thinks like that, I beg advisers to counsel her correctly. How I wish we as Malawians stopped antagonising each other! What gains do we get when we spoil each other in an attempt to outsmart each other?

    Let’s be God fearing fellow Malawians. We are really one.

  26. I support the statement made by Mmwamnammodzi, and at the same time I respect THE FIRST LADY. Even OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST received insults yet HE did nothing wrong. I just feel sorry for bad words used.

  27. Hehehe! She is JB, world renowned like nobody else b4. So Mutharikas and DPP live with it. You cannot take this from her, even with the propaganda you have started churning out. Kaya mukumva bwanji mumitima yanumo? Malawi can now understand the press conference Akweni held to the embarrassment of the nation about why JB follows Mutharika all the time!

  28. The first lady showed lack of confidence in herself,inferiority complex,immaturity and partisanship at international level. First ladies were not there to represent their spouses’ party but their countries. How would we know her views on what was discussed if she did not pitch. Getrude must get off her high horse. JB was not there to upstage her.

  29. The weather has started changing here, it’s getting cold. Maybe she has cold ” chimfine” and not feeling well. Please stop insulting your mother you people. They will explain to you when they get home on why she could not attend this important meeting. Come on now! please be nice. OR else simunamve kuti awiri m’khola atambala salilira?

  30. Blame organizers of this function. Why did they deliberatily choose JB to address the meeting while they knew that Getrude would be there and theres bad blood btwn them? Kkkkkkkkk

  31. JB was president, while Getu is only a wife to the president. Not good to equate. Getu shd have attended, and it cld have worked to her adv.

  32. A Getu,kunjenjemela ndi JB.Mutsegula mmimba muona,mphwepwa ya munthu.Kuteloku Mathanyaluyo anakunamidza kikikikiki

  33. Too bad someone could not attend – why last minute cancellation – lol. Not wanting to be in the same room with Mama Banda, Pole. Mama continue what u know best – go go go God will continue guiding u. All the best

  34. JB is JB. Viva JB u make me proud whether someone likes it or not, you are who you are. A woman of substance. Blessed with so much grace that no one can take away from you.

  35. kkkkk nanga poti is a former president. That means when ever the two are together, in protocal the former president is Respected more than just a first lady. Nde muthawa ma meeting angati. Not only that JB noble work outside Government yampangitsa kulumikizana ndi ma international organisation ambili. mind u she is ranked number 6 in the most powerful women in the world.

  36. I thought he said the Elections were credible, free and fair, so why still have issues with past President? Or was “credible just to whoodwink the UN?

  37. No wrongs getrude did,, th mtng woz 4 wrld 1st ladies not 4ma H/S… & lets not blame JB 4 mekn it but thoz who invited her,why woz sh invited then 4 sh isnt a 1st lady…. Mwians dnt rush undrstndng mataz

  38. Please let us not blame Getrude. She is married. A properly married woman informs and consults her husband when she goes out. This meeting was arranged long ago and when the first couple were leaving for UN,they knew JB would be attending. It is the respect JB is getting which the couple fail to accept. Blame those who advised Getu not to attend. Especially the husband. This is assuming she was not under the weather on that day.

  39. Very disappointed with our miserable looking First Lady. She has shown a terrible example to all . Gertrude , you are the First Lady, please don’t throw tantrums like a two year old. You mean you can’t handle it??? You could also have talked about sweeping the streets and garbage collection……..who knows you could have found donors

  40. Mukamalankhula kumaona kaye kuti kodi ngati mulungu atafunsa inu kuti mulankhule zoona pankhaniyi mukatelo mupeza moyo wosatha inu mungatii bwanji? chilungamo mukuchiona koma mukungolankhula zopusa bwanji, joice analakwa chani chomwe mungamunyozele? kodi kukhala mkazi wapresident kukutanthauza chani poyeleekeza getunso mbali yake tsono vuto mchani wopusa ndamene anapitila kuti akatccuuke, iwe getrude mzakoyotu ndiye mbaliyaake anachita tsono iwe unasiilanji mbaliyako?wopusa iwekwambiri.

  41. I Have To Say All Of You Who Talk Highly Of JB and on same breath insult The First Lady Are Missing The Point.
    And Nyasatimes I Wonder How You Display Such Open Hatred Comments

  42. The two would have made Malawi proud had they embraced at the UN and show to the world that in Malawi we do not not really hate each other. Of course we have differences. A hug would have assured the world war is unlikely in Malawi

  43. Shame! Extreme lack of maturity! Zidani zaku Nyasaland mpaka ku America? Why did Getrude ride expensively on the tax payers’ pulse if she is just loafing in New York?

  44. what is the reaction of the president??? was this his advice or he did not discuss with her. but all the same he takes full responsibility for what the first lady has done, shaming the Malawi people. She was supposed not to openly show her inferiority or hatred this way.

    You have five years of boycotting jb at international meetings and conferences. Tiona amene ata lephele

  45. Symptoms of myopic first lady intoxicated with quarry. Paja ukamwaso for so long it affects thinking capacity.

    Gertrude you are a perfect fool mwachititsa manyazi dziko. You aren’t fit to be first lady serve for that ho underneath you with nyemba zofota zo

  46. What you have tp knowis,that JB is un ambassador for safe motherhood. Avpiding her you are denying malaw safemotherhood and good childhod.
    Swallow,the bitter pill and the life progress

  47. Kikkkk! Iwe Getu, Joice wakupinda. Getu iwe ndi first lady wopanda nzeru woyamba pa malawi pano bola uzidula “chimera”. Of all, you are the most backward!

  48. Hahahahaaaa Getu and Kaliatuka mwaziona? Uja mmati akuchitisa manyazi azimai ku Malawi pano akuchitisa manyazi azimai ndani? Getu wachimizi or JB wachi New Yorker?

    AM HERE TO ANNOUNCE THAT JB MAKES ALL WOMEN PROUD!!!!

    Wanzeru ngwanzeru basi. Nanga a Kaliati angakuyitaneni ku UN to address even kindergarten kids????

    JB NDI DEAL WAWA

  49. Getu must be ashamed of herself.she has to understand kuti nsanje siyimanga mudzi.How special is she to boycot the conference?

  50. If JB is invited to these conferences, Getrude Maseko ayenela kupinda nchila. Akuchepela kaba. JB Bomaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Natural orator.

  51. The main problem with women is women. Getrude just showed the world exactly what women like to do to each other every single day.

  52. A getrude heee heee munanyanyala mutaphoda ambi shubaba jb ndi deal munya muona pepa getu wayaluka basi dziko laeni kupusa mkazi wa pulezidenti

  53. Malawian women. Fools at the core, you mean even outside you show your stupidity. Happy I married a foreign wife, samphika nsima koma ali ndikhalidwe.

    1. hey you an idiot chitsiru ndi foreigner wako unakwatirayo mbuzi iwe eti nde unamva kuti akazi a kumalawi tlibe khalidwe mwinaso unakwatira chizungu chonyasa mbuzi yeni yeni

  54. abale gaddafi yo wasanduka liti mrs muthalika?kodi iwe joisi umamfuna peter eti ?Richard samakukwana kodi, ati sanakusate ulendo uno tiketi sanagairidwe, your a disgrace to malawi shameless woman!

    1. Mayi mayi don’t show your intellectual myopia. Joyce was not there as first lady but as a guest speaker, that is assuming you know and understand what a guest speaker is! Come on!

  55. JB is very important in UN and she is working there. Sopano mumafuna kuti akhale ku ntchito? Anthu inu mzimva!!!

  56. shame shame shame jb! leave our first lady alone, getrude sayankhula yankhula ngati momwe mumatetemukira inu musiyeni nzanu vuto ndi chani joise kumulonda nzanu choncho, ka meeting kanu munaitanidwirako kanatha koma mwatsalirako maboza ati kujambulitsa ndi ma miss zitithandiza chani ife, uthokoze kuti a first lady is so quiet if it had been calister she could have put you at your right place.

    1. WHAT A DULL AND UNINFORMED COMMENT! SHE IS INVITED SPEAKER….SHA! she is not following Get……hey nyasalandish people!

      1. What Did Callista do apart from embarrassing and sending Bingu to his early grave? Bingu died because of the pressure ya fame callista mounted on Bingu. Do you know Callista ndi ntchito zake? JB is free to go anywhere in the world. Amalawi chimidzi ndi nsanje bwanji? Callista got a job at one ngo courtesy of JB. She even won a parliamentary seat in Zomba with the support from JB.

    2. Siutha kumvetsa chizungu mwina akanakulembera nkhaniyi mchichewa kuti umvetse bwinobwino. Wakuchulukira ndi umbuli go back to school so that next time uziza panga comment mogwirizana ndi nkhani m’mene ilili. kuchitisa manyazi

  57. It is very unfortunate that these things are unfolding away from home. What impression are we showing to the world? Are we indeed one Nation? Does this show that indeed the Elections were free, fair and credible? Don’t expose our dirty lenin to the public. Swallow our pride at times!

  58. well, well done amai olongololawo alongolole Popeza ndiye ndale za pa Malawi Korma otherwise ziri Sharp Sharp

  59. Amalawi anzanga, JB sikuti anaziyitana kumeneko. Mwayiwala kuti mai ameneyu wakhala mu ma international comiittees osiyanasiyana? Abale, mai uyu akumayitanidwa ndi ma organizers. Infact, it is possible that we shall next hear she is UN uderscretary or head of this and that at the UN. Dzina la JB ku UN ndi la kale ndi kale. Let us accept that.

    Chachiwili nd chakuti ku mayiko ena ngakhale pa Mozambique or Tanzania pomwepa pa a neighbour, past presidents amanyadira ngai president wawo wopuma akudaliridwa ndi international community chonchi. I bet it was very scandalous there for the first lady of Malawi refused to attend JB’s presentation. Shame, shame. I expect Kaliati to be objective in her report to her boss about JB’s presentation.

  60. Thing is we have a first lady who is very empty. She doesnt understand anything apart from going to the toilet. Keep it up Joyce Banda for making us proud.

  61. Vuto ndilakuti a Getrude Maseko akudziona ngati afikapo. Zomwezi mpaka mkazi wachitatu nsaje? Miyezi itatu yomweyi? Kwinaku Bambowandi a malemu, mkazi wa zaka 30. Mayiwa adzizangopanga za bungwe lawo lija la Beutify Myself Trust (BEAM)

  62. WOMEN IN MALAWI STOP EMBARASSING EACH OTHER, WHY THIS JEALOUS? CAN YOU WORK TOGETHER TO HELP YOUR FELLOW WOMEN IN AFRICA? VERY CHILDSHI, SHAME ON YOU!!! WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT JB WAS A PRESIDENT OF MALAWI AND YOU SHOULD ALL BE PROUD OF THAT.

  63. Was that some sick, twisted way of punishing Patricia Ukaliati for her embarassing remarks about JB stalking the president to the end of the earth? If so, who followed who to that conference?

  64. Ya njiru siiswa. Of all the first ladies, aku Malawiwa ngochititsa manyazi, kathupi gwaa ngati siadya. Koma alimba?

  65. Zake izo kaya ananyanyala first lady yo,akagwere uko,ngat former president wathu wapasidwa mwai olankhula ndi ma 1 lady alankhule bas,ngat zizikunyasan musamapiteko ndipo mmai ameneyu akukwanan simunat coz aziitanidwa kulikonse ngat nsogoleri opuma,more fire mai Joyce Banda zikumuwawayo akakolope nyanja

  66. Kikikikikiki
    Mantha kikikikikiki
    JB ndi dhilu, ODI UKO.
    Osati madeya a beautify chani chani aja hahahaha.
    Ndipo zakhala bwino anakaza ononga chinthunzi cha ma first lady chi.

  67. Kkkkkkk whether you like or not it was written in the history of Malawi that Joyce Banda was the ruler of the Republic of Malawi from 07April,2012-30th May,2014

  68. No wonder our country cant develop, zidani mpaka ku USA, kkkkkk. Cry my beloved country. Kodi mmesa amati tiyeni tigwirizane tikhalire pamodzi for the sake of developing our country. The first lady and the former first citizens have lost an opportunity here.

  69. She never go because she likes wearing tight dresses and min-skirts,Those first ladies in the meeting dressed well on their status as First Ladies…

    Athuwa chitsikana chikuwapha,atsalapang’ono kukokera malegeni! Kikikiki

  70. Azinjoya chiyani? That was important meeting for Malawi and other countries to promote education!

    First Lady was supposed to be present at that meeting…JB is not wrong,it was the meeting for first ladies on education,just because JB was to address the meeting then first lady chickened?

  71. Heheheheeeee Ululuuuuuuuuuuu You cannot go to USA and insult JB,JB had important functions to fulfill for the benefit of Malawi in the Education Sector…

    Its very sad that First Lady of Malawi boycotted this important event! That Boycot is indeed lack of good governance principles…

    Its good that both First Lady and Patricia Mutharika have learnt a good lesson that JB is an International Icon for women…

  72. The First Lady chickened out simply because she was going to be drafted by Joyce. Wonder what Kaliati did at the meeting, but the way she looks people wondered which planet she cames from

  73. Koma ziliko, JB nayoso akulakwitsa penapake. Ndipakedi kumudandaula. Ayi wanyanya, asiyeni anzanu nawonso azinjoya aaaaaaa!!!!
