I know Simango from the Democrat days but I can bet my last coin such a mediocre story couldn’t find space in his tabloid. Charles, I know Malawi is very poor but to suggest that no single govt primary school class in the capital Lilongwe can afford the luxury of having all its students wearing shoes is taking our poverty to extreme levels. Even if indeed some wore it for the first time what is wrong with that if they were appearing before the most powerful first lady in the world? I am even at pains to believe that a… Read more »
Miss them too………and Raphael Tentani! When you lower standards of education and competition so every Jim and Jack can claim a certificate, a degree, a doctorate or a professorship, you shall have to accept serious levels of mediocrity! All you have to do is listen to articulation of issues and insistence to be called by our so-called titles and you know we are an embarrassment to ourselves.
Once again, Thank you Charles Simango.

That’s what happens when you mix Malawians without looking at tribes, without bringing in quota. The best Malawians at the Democrat is all that you were. Miss reading articles like these.
Those guys were really genieus
True legends. Why is it that everything in Malawi seem to be sliding backwards? We need to accept that we have a very big problem. Only when we accept it, will we be able to mobilize ourselves to solve it. It is so disheartening that it is our leaders who see progress when there is none. We have a president who unashamedly claims to be taking Malawi from poverty to prosperity when it is himself, his wife and cronies who are experiencing that prosperity through looting and all sorts of dubious means. Where we had an enviable education system, we… Read more »
Part of our problem is that most of us do not think beyond our borders. Malawi is a very small country, but it is part of a very large continent on which many inspiring activities are taking place. Most of us are unaware that Dr Denis Mukwege of Congo has just been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his struggle to end rape as a weapon of war. His work has been acknowledged by the world. He is an African hero and a role model for all of us, and especially for our children. Our continent is full of heroes,… Read more »
Very true indeed.
Oh yes, We miss the Democrat.
Whether it was newspaper, tabloid or whatever you call it. It was just the best in class.
It was in its own world. As you said the Hardy, Dingi and Charles Simango you rocked.
You gave us good time.
Those guys did gave us good time with the Malawi Democrat later known as The Democratic. Their feature articles or stories were woven in good English … with illustrations that left readers in stitches of laughter. Its editorial team referred the paper as the giant of the street. Nice that Charles Simango has surfaced here.
Genius of a writer, that’s you Charles Simango! And Hardy and Dingi were truly geniuses too! May their souls continue resting in eternal peace…
Nostalgic!!
Cant help it but laugh……befitting headline if you come to think of it.
Keep it on mkwasu……..you’ve made my day.
I don’t understand your angle Charles Simango. What is it that you’re communicating to the readers. On a different note, I find it odd that our president was condemning handouts from the West as stumbling block to Africas (and by extension Malawi) development. Here we have Melania visiting a school that US sponsored and built (it doesn’t look like the dollars were effectively spent though). The need for US intervention was made in the context of the govt failing to build enough schools for its children who desperately need decent classrooms. Mr President, my question is; if the US did… Read more »
Miss your writing and miss the departed Hardy, indeed those were the days when reading newspapers, especially The Democrat was exciting. And I can honestly say there has never been such another.
