The president really needs to look at the issue of Public Libraries. Olo kutamakhala mabukhu akale a 1979 but that will make our nation a reading culture. TV, internet and clubbing is destroying our nation as pple tend not to read an research anymore
Paja kagulu aka ndi kaya kamayika ma spanner against academid freedom.
Not surprised at all.
Malawi politics stinks.
Useless why bringing in stupid and fallen politicians
A Vice chancellor, try to shave your chin please

Always pessimistic, why? Be positive and hope for a better future. Hope professor Saka will see to it that MANEB performs as expected by the citizenry. Ophunzira oyamba fomu 1 & 3 aziyamba sukulu limodzi ndi anzawo a ma fomu ena.
But still,fools will be hunting and leaking exams,Malawi sazatheka basi,and now there is no any barrier to enroll for university,the UEE has been removed,with the ever leaking MSCE exams,thus country must be assured of an educational time bomb that will explode soon,in conjunction with QUOTA system,inept universities,Malawian graduates will be pathetic.Trust me.
