Colourful qualifications BUT the problem here is the appointing authority in Malawi always uses such bright minds for their crooked ways.

Super cadet replaces cadet… Cadetized civil service
I used to respect this brilliant guy, I don’t know much now if I’m still doing that since the finger that has pointed him has a half nail,might be just used to facilitate the other side of the finger to cover a half nail, if not be careful this guy is gone ( swallowed )by the same finger that has appointed him. The end of Mzati Mkolokosa.
Congratulations Amfumu. And best wishes.
Congratulations my friend Mzati. Time to show our faith
where is Gideon Mnthali going?
Mzati is a cadet. One more appointment coming. Bright Malopa.
All the best Mzati.
Mzati is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Cruel person. He can do anything for money. Cadet to boot. And bootlicker.
