It appears like even our own journalists are supporting the idea of oil drilling in Malawi.

Your own coverage does not appear to inform these poor people regarding the world shifting from these fuels to renewable energy.

There is a lot of information online that is suggesting that there is a “J curve” in renewables and yet I don’t see this written anywhere when I visit Malawian press.

Please don’t just focus on politics, focus on the environment too.

Koma kutengeka anthu omvetsa chisoni. Chimunthu you’re near these people, you can’t help your own people to see where this will take them to? Dwangwa sugar corporation makes billions of kwachas there. Yet Dema primary school has remained as poorly funded as the day it was established when Hon Chimunthu himself went there in the 70s.

So how will oil bring jobs there?

No please stop that oil. The only beneficiary to that will be Malunga and his fellow politicians.

For you the people of nkhunga: what awaits you is poverty through oil pollution and environmental damage.

My people of Malawi, getting excited over stupid stuff, oil isn’t more valuable than our lake and its heritage. Instead of boosting tourism sector, you trying to fix a long-term problem with short-term solutions. where is the sense in that, to make it worse global oil prices are low, WHAT ARE WE THINKING MALAWI. THIS POLITICIAN HAVE FAILED THE ORDINARY AND YOUTH GENERATION OF MALAWI

My country men and women of KK don’t be too excited with the oil exploration report. Before you start dancing and clapping hands read stories about oil drilling in Africa. Take Nigeria for example, there the poor have not benefited in away what they got instead was pollution. Recall Ken Saro Wiwa, why he was killed by Abacha regime. He wanted to protect the Ogoniland from Shell that had destroyed the envioronment with oil. Abacha did like that because he had personally benefited from Shell oil. Because of corruption it will be impossible for Malawi to police the drillers. I… Read more »

We should not have a defeatist mind. .. let’s move on in oil drilling . Let’s have better laws and policies to manage our oil but saying no is shooting ourselves in the photo. Thank you govt and Hamra for these sensitizations as they help to clear some of the fears surrounding the oil issues due to so much misinformation around. Oil is for our own good and our is a blessing to us and not a curse! GO ON HAMRA WE NEED YOU ….

Guys let’s join environmental activists to stop this. These folks are not well informed about the environmental dangers that await us if this was to go ahead. And Malawi as a country wouldn’t be able to pull itself out of a mess as huge as an oil sleek! This area has fast flowing rivers and streams that end up in Lake Malawi. You may have heard reports of road wash aways in this area when it rains heavily. Any oil spillage activity within 10 to 20 km upland is highly likely to be swept down to the lake. This is… Read more »
