Mr Truth, your observantion is correct.The problem is that we have a useless minister of foreign affairs. He does want to solve these problems.
This so called Dr Chaponda Mr of foreign affairs is just useless.

I don’t know why this dpp govt is angry and rattled by us bring poorest in the world. The fact remains we are the poorest or one of the poorest in the world. No amount of training of any journalist will alter this fact. So it is a waste of govt money to train journalist on how to report economic data. Some of these journalists are graduates, so they are able to know what is being reported. People learn about Gdp from secondary schools. The papers themselves should train their own journalists on how to report economic data if they… Read more »

Media houses should not just wait for government…they should employ qualified people like other media houses who have : economic correspondents/editors, political correspondent/editor, White/house correspondents, scientific correspondents/editor etc…. not every reporter can be a jack of all trades leading to misinterpretation of facts!

Sipho, unfortunately Tenthani is one of the best of his kind, love him or hate him. If you don’t like what he writes, better leave it to us who will appreciate the sense he pumps into the nation, he is not a handclapper like the Malopa’s who failed his MSCE not once but twice. He is just objective, and objectivity is what we would appreciate. mind you, it is not Tenthani who came up with that article reminding us of how poor we are!!!!! Furthermore, you DPP zealots, you say seven months is too little time to judge APM, yes… Read more »

Guys wait, is this idea coz of the purported report of Malawi being the poorest country? Was the report from a journalist? I guess the two are not the same sides of a coin. If the report was faulty, it was not because of a journalist who reported but the author of it. The duty of a reporter is to publish what has come out in the public domain whether it is from Government, donor, company, or civil society. The faults or inaccuracies of the reports are the responsibility of the author or institutions the report has come from. I… Read more »

This will be good so that we hear and read correct information from well informed and competent media in matters of the economy. While on the same I wish to bring to the attention to the power that be more especially the minister of Foreign Affairs and International Corporation as well as the ministry of Internal Security of the plight of Malawians as the go about doing business within SADC/COMESA. it seems Malawians are the most oppressed and harassed nationalities but our government does not intervene to stop this harassment. I witnessed one traveler being slapped at Mozambique Border for… Read more »
