Main opposition Malawi Congress Party (MCP) search for its parliamentary candidate in Dedza central east ended abruptly as the poll...
It bamboozles me that an educated person can equate the relevance of former or current Malawi heroes with Mahatma Ghandi in fight for world peace. Just google to find out how many major cities have Mahatma’s statue and you will feel sorry for yourself. We already have a major road in Blantyre city named after him why didn’t you call for its renaming before this development? I am sure all this nonsense against erection of the statue is from people north of Chingeni, they are jealousy Blantyre is to have it plus the conference centre and they want it abandoned.
City of Blantyre has been bought by Amwenye! Statues represent a place’s history or culture. What did Mahatma Ghandi do for Malawians? Mumbai needs that statue not Blantyre!
Indians digging in their feet in our land again, for those of you who do not know this Mahatma thing, he only fought for the rights of indian people.He looked upon african people as sub-humans and less deserving yet you want to accord him prminency in our land,to hail with you!! he has no place in our history and there is just no justification for erecting his statue in our land.His descendants are settlers here, need we remind them that?

Also not a good point. 3) But indeed Ghandi was racist. If people think of racism and not of… Read more »

Any way for your information Indians your statue is not wanted/ needed in Malawi. keep your gods in India not in my motherland. Ndalama ndi wanu dziko ndi lathu . why kufuna kulowa mkati? Stupid Indians.
Even if India allowed to erect a statue of any Malawian fool with no contribution to world history……How will Malawi the worlds poorest nation fund it ? Poor country poor idiots…
I can’t believe that we are the owners of this country and that we have a leadership that is responsible for steering the country. For God’s sake, what has Malawi got to do with this useless monument! I have read widely about this man and want to agree with one of the contributors that he is the one who promoted the caste system in India which most Indians, including the so-called Indians of Malawi origin, are still using today by treating Malawians as people of a lower caste than them hence the peanut wages. Mangani koma dziwani that we will… Read more »
PLEASE ! PLEASE !! RESPECT YOURSELVES AND MALAWIANS ”–PUT THIS IDOL UNDER YOUR
BED IN YOUR BED ROOM ”MALAWIANS NEED DEVELOPMENT’S NOT STATUES !!!
Resident’s of Blantyre, let us rise up, and seek Court intervention, to stop this gandhi statute nonsense.
Yes, we are poor. But, being poor should not be a crime. What is wrong with our leaders? Someone is not wishing this government, well.
