everybody is identified with the culture s/he belong to. did you expect the president to stop being lhomwe simply because of being president?
that mindset can only sell Malawi at a cheap price.
Please think of the future before writing everything.
Colonised mindset… Your wish is to see Malawi lost its identity. Do you really understand why the whites first teaches us their education before imposing their ideologies?
Where are you living now?
it seems you have lost direction or you are writing to appease someone.
Mr ntata, we expect sound reasoning from you. be exemplary please.

Nyasatimes is Complicit in the current promotion of hate towards Lhomwes. But allowing washed up low IQ individuals like Ntata to spew his hate for Lhomwes here. Lhomwes survived Thangata, Colonialists taking our land and being killed in droves by Ngonis and we will also survive the latest attempts of instigating tribal cleansing like you are promoting. This will only galvanise us and bring us together because we now know what is at stake.

Malawi has lost its way, the people have lost their way and so has the head of state. No one is listening or takes the president seriously amongst the DPP ranks. He was without doubt against politics of castigation and character assassination and we have Mulli castigating Chilima in front of the president. Should we really assume that he is in control? If a head of state is encouraging tribalism in favour of Lhomwes, it means that once we have MCP or UTM in power, the Lhomwes will be abandoned and sidelined and even prosecuted. The Lhomwes should be careful… Read more »

DzukaniAmalawi you are starting to annoy me. what’s Muli and the likes, castigating other political parties in front of the president got to do with tribalism? Dude you can say whatever you want, yes lhomwes came from Mozambique, which is in Africa by the way. Now can you tell me one tribe that is originated in Malawi other than Akafula? Ngonis came from Zaire, and if you don’t know who those ngonis are then start with Tumbukas in that way you’ll finish the whole northern region, and you’ll come also to the central where they are in their large number… Read more »

Ntata why did you not ask the same question to Bingu when you served him? You’re are one of the disgruntled people who cannot respect president because he did not consider you like his brother. Don’t tell us rubbish now when during your term in office you could not ask your boss, you even attended the meetings and enjoyed. There is nothing to celebrate cultural heritage. Chewas has never stopped enjoying Gule Wamkulu, Ngonis do celebrate even before you were born, Yao too, all cultures do. We even grew up reading better books Kukula ndi Mwambo, Kalenga ndi mzache, Atabwali… Read more »

Well said, Alan! Unity is strength. Divisions destroy.
We are faced with the same problem in UK with our poisonous debate over Brexit!

Nice piece. There is no big problem of celebrating Cultural Groups once a year but the problem arises when the Incumbent president is made the patron of his tribal grouping because it comprises his office that he is a father and leader of every tribal grouping.
