I am compelled to say this because I have just seen the list of shortlisted candidates for Domasi and Nalikule education institutes; almost 95% of those shortlisted come from the south particularly lhomwe tribe. Is this the way we are going to forge as malawians! I am greatly touched by the list. This govt is not for Malawians but lhomwes.
