despite being my lecturer in the arts (which of course am proud of) I am moved to say that you cant be more right. What you have expressed here is a TRUE sorry state of Malawi.

That’s why despite his autocratic tendencies Kamuzu had set high standards. Buses would depart on time and were faithful to their schedule. No armed robberies yet in Mozambique there was civil war that would have seen the proliferation of arms in Malawi. If only the MCP had accepted to do away with bad elements!!! In the long run we ended up throwing away dirty water and the baby together.

Malawi is an impoverished nation in the world thus why most of richers are abroad.Imagine how many malawians are in south africa,america and britain.Let’s talk reality the nation won’t develop due to corruption and poor structure of its politics.

Thanks Jimmy for this well written article. Some people have commented here, saying what have done yourself or don’t wait for government to do abcd for you. I don’t agree with them because it takes government and not an individual to come up with the right policies that will work for the good of the masses.

It is you the so called educated folks (indoctrinated and fatally westernised) besides the primitive politicians) that are letting Malawi down,seriously.Very brilliant at analysing and articulating national issues at different fora but do not avail themselves when physical action is required.You do not show up on the scene leaving the uneducated and the poor to do it for you only to resurface when the deed is done
