Sorry to hear that your Deputy Kirk Hollingsworth has been fired from the UK Foreign Office before achieving his dream of coming back to Malawi as British High Commissioner. This is sad news considering that Kirk and his dear wife Sherronie really wanted to come back to Malawi and continue enjoying the cream of Malawi. As you leave Malawi at the end of your tour of duty, we wish you all the best in your next assignment in Iceland. I assume they also play golf that side. Please go and enjoy your Golf. No-one will fire you as they have… Read more »

Nevin mentioned the ‘special relationship Malawi has with Scotland. In view of this special relationship, perhaps HMG will appoint a Scottish replacement for Nevin, preferably someone who already knows Malawi well and can hit the ground running.

I would to commend the British envoy in Malawi for the commendable job his country does to malawi.but my writing on this topic today dwells much on the respect uk and america have to this country.these two countries have never respected our wishes.1.up to now they force us to marry a fellow man or woman disregarding our culture and beliefs all in the name of aid.for the first time and i hope it will be the last time for UN general secretary to vist malawi.last year we had floods but none of those highly respectable peaple came to visit us.but… Read more »

Thank you British High Commissioner to Malawi for your vivid advice but,I would like to kindly warn you that such advices to Malawians will never materialize amongst the mainstream leadership embroiled in corruption,tribalism and vacuum of intellectual base.Firstly,the leadership lacks sense of patriotism,that has driven myriad of them to engage in massive looting of the meagrely resources designed to propel the engine of prosperity for their own greedy ends.Another problem engulfing our political spectrum is that unlettered and idiotically handicapped are heaped in strategically positioned establishments,while hundreds of our highly qualified men and women are sidelined because they belong to… Read more »

We the people of Malawi have the power to make this country great and not just ministers and what not. It’s us who give them the power to be where they are and unless we see that..this is never going to change. We complain that the President isn’t doing enough but is it really just going to take one person to do that. Don’t worry, you’ll read this maybe feel motivated and then do nothing. Good day!

Malawi shall for ever remain a text book example of a country that refuses to develop and this is because of retarded leaders that bull doze themselves into power

The British Government lost their influence in Malawi a long time ago. Evidently, for the past four years, Michael Nevin achieved nothing on the diplomatic front.

In frustration, Nevin has been shouting and issuing instructions to senior government officials like a rabbid dog. But kudos to this government, noone took him seriously. He now leaves Malawi a frustrated man.

One hopes that the UK Foreign Office doesn’t
fire him completely for non performance as it did with Nevin’s former Deputy Kirk Hollingsworth who was fired for first grade incompetence.

Good riddance Michael Nevin.

CHANGE IN MALAWI IS ABOUTTAKING THE POOR OUT OF THE ALREADY DISCOMFORT ZONES WHILE LEADERS CONTINUE TO SWIM IN LUXURY. AM SORRY TO SAY THAT IN PETER MUTHARIKA, I DO NOT SEE A LLEADER WHO IS READY TO HOLD THE REFORMS BY THE HORNS. THE GUY IS JUST OBSESSED IN KUZIMVA IYE KUTI NDI PRESIDENT.

LHOMWES ONLY CANT DEVELOP THE COUNTRY IF THERE IS NO SUPPORT FROM OTHER REGIONS. 2. DO MORE TO… Read more »

Late Kamuzu Banda our former head of state loves queen that is why Education was super. Talk of books we learnt in schools and one of the books I enjoyed on English literature is William Shakespear.

O…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..O The govt has the right idea of the reform programme, but the message is being preached to wrong people. Just look at Good-All Gondwe, Chaponda, Mwanamveka, for instance . . . . . . such guys are everything that Malawi doesn’t need for ministers of anything! These guys lack motivation to think or work hard. . . . they will never work hard in their posts for want of money, coz they already have a sizable amount. . . . these guys will never work hard to impress anybody coz APM (whom they could somewhat want to impress), has… Read more »
