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!

1) There are Ghandi statues all over the world. In countries he had nothing to do with. So that is not a good argument. 2) Also there are statues of African leaders in India – for example a statue of Mandela in the Indian capital. Why do you think Malawi is so powerless to not be able to put up a statue in India? That is a wrong way of thinking, as if Malawi is so weak and always a victim. Also not a good point. 3) But indeed Ghandi was racist. If people think of racism and not of… Read more »

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 »

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.
