Blntyre magistrates court faied to hear the case of Eric Aniva on Wednesday because the magistrate Innocent Nebi was engaged...
This is absolutely ridiculous! Or is there something that I’m not seeing? Maybe there is some higher function that Peter is serving that my plebian mind and its concerns are too commonplace to perceive. Whatever it is, I know that it does NOT involve improving the power situation, improving our literacy, increasing jobs, or hell, de-messing up the economy so that we can sustain ourselves. The Europeans can pat him on the back all they want, but he gets nothing but suspicion from me.
Do you know these international guy they dont reward you for achievement, but for making your country worse or more.
Nyasa Times!! You blow the trumpet every time Joyce Banda receives PhDs and Awards from all over the place. The mess the country is in started during the time of Muluzi. I am not an APM fan nor do I support DPP. As for the rest of the parties; it is an issue of the candidate who was never there. The only point I can agree with you on, is that we need to hold hands and map the way forward. It is true that as long as we continue hiring leaders from the same crop of visionless group; Sure… Read more »
The Sigh of Malawi (Slightly adapted from the words of Stephen Collins Foster) Let us pause in life’s pleasures and count its many tears While we all sup sorrow with the poor There’s a song that will linger forever in our ears; Oh, hard times come again no more Chorus It’s the song, The Sigh of Malawi Hard times, hard times come again no more Many years you have lingered Around my humble door Oh, hard times come again no more While we seek mirth and beauty and music light and gay There are poor folks fainting at our door… Read more »
The greater tragedy for Malawi is not the absence of clever and meticulous leaders it’s the absence of enlightened citizens. In Malawi leadership is perceived by citizens from the context of resource sharing. Because leadership will share resources citizens vote into office leaders that come from their regions, tribes and districts. Leaders are not put in office on the basis of their development agendas but on the basis of expectations of benefits at personal level by citizens. So you end up with one leader who ascends to power with any development agenda except to plunder or share national resources with… Read more »
My fellow Malawians, the award was presented and received. Period. Nothing can change that no matter what we say. It is my belief that whether our HE deserves it or not does not matter at this point in time. What matters is that we hold hands, put our collective heads together (assuming we still have our heads) and brainstorm how to get out of this trap called poverty. Mr President, may I ask you with all the politeness that you deserve that you come back home, keep your award in your “ekisipandi”, draw courage from wherever it is that you… Read more »
If there is one president Malawi has ever had that stinks from all corners, it is the dimwit called APM whose looks even illustrates that all what is in him is stupidity. Another waste of space. He can make one hate their country.
Best comment ever
i hate it when people say that Obama is black….seriously there is a name for mixed race people not black…..nelson mandela black, martin luther king black….barack Obama hmmmmmmm may be coloured I don’t know… his mother is pure white. On the issue at hand criteria or no criteria nzamanyazi midima ikumakhala ma plot mu and for some stupid organization to be awarding cartoons with leadership awards angazi……………………
One only wonders how many awards have been given to Obama, if not for poverty then for riches and being a black president in America. Would this not be a greater achievement than that of taking Malawi from a poor country to the poorest country in the world?
This is indeed a great achievement for our nation. I disagree totally with Thom Chiumia on his assessment of APM. I respect azungu when it comes to expressing their feelings of appreciation even to their enemies. One could not imagine that the EU could be the first group to express their appreciation to Bingu on championing food security in Malawi and the rest of Africa at his death when you consider how they often they were at loggerheads in the issues of governance!
These people are clever they only bestow such honours on imbeciles. They cant give such an award to Kagame he is too clever for such silly little jokes. They know that APM has nothing to offer but they also know that he is an attention seeking small minded simpleton. Am told that next APM will be honoured for “defeating Hitler” and he is going to receive on our behalf.
