Police in the Malawian capital Lilongwe have arrested two Nigerians after they were found in possession of fake local currency...
I don’t see any significance in this. I have lived in diaspora for over 25 years and managed to invest in Malawi during this period. I have property, businesses and employ over 20 Malawians. I come home and stay as long as I want; no hussles at all. I also send money at home; have bank accounts there too.

A welcome development
What a wonderful man and a brilliant idea? Indeed this will help Mother Malawi as a nation in boosting up her economy due to forex. Even us as malawians will be free people when moving out of our own country to another country and coming back whenever we want without any problem. Let us bring Dual citizenship forward in support.
I like the debate you guys, Zamadula, Kenkk and JohnM are doing here. It makes more sense. These are the kind of arguments that we should be writing on the comments and not just writing for the sake of writing. I for one, would go for dual citizenship.

Look the whole world is benefitting from his vast business empire. Later on married a Chinese woman just to get into China market for his business then divorced her but his business is flourishing there as well. You never know some of our diaspora people could become very big in business now or in future, all for the benefit of malawi. Please stop these petty jealousies or short-sightedness!!! After all there are a… Read more »
I remember Kamuzu saying the colour of your skin is your passport. How true and wise our dear leader was on citizenship despite his poor human rights record!!!
Good idea why not…
A good idea anyhow the foreign doctors and nurses working here in Malawi do get better incentives ,eg housing, transport, benefits, salary all better com paired to our our own boys girls men and women. Talking of those outside this country, pls it is not everyone who is living on hand to mouth. We got well trained malwians but bcoz of the system here , it stinks to come back. Those are the people who could be part of our staff here continuing and or establishing the innovation of the developments.our health care is gone to the drains.
Ok
Tribal citizen sound better not fckn dual
