Movement says govt removal of quota system in school selection cosmetic
Northern region based ‘Quota Must Fall Movement’ has described the government announcement of the removal of quota policy in selecting students to public secondary schools as cosmetic.
The movement has also accused the government of divide and rule by engaging the Synod of Livingstonia church on the issue, leaving out other interested stakeholders on the matter.
Coordinator of the movement Charles Kajoloweka said it was surprising that the government has conceded it was using quota policy in the selection of the students when all along it maintained the policy never existed in schools.
“This is very surprising, this is why this is just cosmetic commitment,” he said.
Ministry of Education says in a statement that national secondary school places shall now be allocated on the basis of merit across the country regardless of proximity and economic cost.
There are two schools of thought on the quota system—one supporting the system for which proponents feel some groups, regions or districts have dominated access to higher education due to economical, historical, political and ethnical reasons, among others.

The problem is that you are selfish, nepotistic and tribalistic people. When a thing is on your side you don’t say anything, but if it is on the side of southerners then you start talking about nepotism and tribalism, then demonstrating….Now look, in most of the companies in Malawi you have dominated the positions from top to bottom. You think the people from the south and central are stupid and you are clever?
When Chihana came, in his ministerial draft all the Ministers were from the North while deputies from the Central and the South. What is that? Now after seeing that the position of the Presidency is not coming to your side then you have started talking about federal government. Koma abale athu inuyooooo! Sindimakumvetsetsani zedi
No wonder Kamuzu had to chase you to your region
Ukatere waganiza wamaliza? Kkkkk
..Malawi isazamve mukulira kuti Ana anu awasankhila ku Nsanje pomwe mumakhala ku Karonga mulibe transport yotumiza mwana ku Nsanje. Remember this!
The quota system that has been imposed on the Northerners is evil. It make the Northerners as the most oppressed people in Malawi since its independent from the British. We have tolerated too much of the atrocities that have been thrown on us by the majority Southerners and Central Malawi people. We call upon the abolishment of the Unitary system that has created Malawians as unequal human beings in Malawi. We are the advocate and proponent of the FEDERAL SYSTEM where our three provinces shall rotate the presidency of Malawi. Each province shall be allocated points according to its population. The Southern region shall be allocated 35 points, Central region 30 points, and Northern region 25 points. In order for a political party to win the presidency must have more than 50 points. The governorship in each province must be also be rotated among the indigenous tribes of that province. In this way we prevent future problems of marginalizing the minority tribes. Malawi’s new constitution must be crafted in such a way no tribe or region has advantage over the other. This constitution must protect the future generation of Malawi so that people will no longer be judged based on their tribe region but the substance within them. Today Malawi politics have been Muhakolized, and the Lomwes being the ruling tribe. Do we want this in Malawi? I guess not. Peter Hitler Mutharika has isolated Southern region and made the Lomwes as the ruler of that province and also the tribe that rule the entire Malawi. If the central region is serious about a change that every Malawian can believe in it why they still cling to the Unitary system which make them the losers of every election? Federal system gives them a chance to build more schools, hospitals, roads, and many others to fulfil their needs. The MCP has been mum on this matter. What the MCP stands for? Federalism or Unitary system that even if Chakwera wins—he will also rule with an iron fist and never want to release the power to other provinces. I think Peter Hitler Mutharika can redeem himself if he can think of the future generation that must leave in peace in a federal Malawi where the presidency shall be rotated among our three provinces. It is very sad that these greedy old buzzers think they are immortal and one day they will never kick the bucket. I call upon my Northern region brothers and sisters to rise if we can have federal system in Malawi they must let us go and be an independent nation where we shall rotate our presidency among our tribes. We can make Northern region (Republic of Nyika) the greatest country because we got the brains to do it. Regardless being oppressed too much but we try to make our Nyika the best place to be. Dictators like Peter Hitler Hitler Mutharika are like Al Bashir that never listened to his people and let Sudan split into two countries. I see this happening in Malawi because us the Northerners are sick and tired of being taken for fools. I just want to remind the Northerners in other provinces to start selling your properties in other provinces and move back to our Motherland, Republic of Nyika. We’re like the sons and daughters of Israel scattered all over the world. It is time now to come back home (Republic of Nyika) to fight for it and build it like the way we always wanted. The MCP will never change, and they feel they will come to power again. It is time for the MCP if it want to do good for Malawi to join hands with the Northerners to liberate Malawi from the greedy Muhakos. The DPP cadets (DPP Interhangwe, that slaughtered a million of Tutsis and moderate Hutus in Rwanda) have infiltrated Malawian army and police, and we can see the daily raping of women and children taking place in Malawi. The petrol bombing and shooting at the opposing voices. Peter Hitler Mutharika is using the Robert Mugabe script but look today where it got Zimbabwe into. These terrorist tactics is for a desperate dictator that is using a last kick like a dying donkey. I want Peter Hitler Mutharika to see a Federal Malawi or an independent Republic of Nyika because we are ready to sacrifice our lives. An oppressed man/woman is the same as a dead person because there is nothing you got to live for. Northerners are dying a slow death in the hope other regions one day will listen to them but what we get is more killing of our people. THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF OUR STRUGGLE AND SOON WE WILL REACH THE END TO BE IN THE FEDERAL MALAWI OR BE AN INDEPENDENT NATION, REPUBLIC OF NYIKA. MAYEBUYE REPUBLIC OF NYIKA. VIVA THE SON AND DAUGHTER OF NYIKA. ALLUTA CONTINUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!
Alluta must continue until the people of Nyika are no longer colonized by the Southerners and Central Malawians. We are Nyika people and Nyika belong to us. Let them rule their own Southern region and let also have our own Nyika. Why always we have to be the one to be oppressed? Lets us separate without blood shed
Hahaha koma yes anthu mukunvadi kuwawa koma simunati munya!!! The funny thing with ambwenu u think u are wise when u know your not. Koma kulira mudzalilabe
