Amalawi, makamaka ma CSOs, mwaonatu mwano wa azungu. Chifukwa chake Bingu anawathamangitsa.
I am waiting for CSOs condemnation of the high commissioner’s remarks, if at all CSOs serve the interest of Malawians.
To our Paramount, I say thank you and I am extremely proud ou you.

Until the philosophy which holds one race superior and another inferior is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned, everywhere is war. And until there are no longer first-class and second-class citizens of any nation, until the colour of a man’s skin is of no more significance than the colour of his eyes. And until the basic human rights are equally guaranteed to all without regard to race, there is war. And until that day, the dream of lasting peace, world citizenship, rule of international morality, will remain but a fleeting illusion to be pursued, but never attained… now everywhere is… Read more »

Tett should know better than this given that in the UK there is the so called “courtesy” followed by undignified bow when thanking the Queen. Why can’t her subjects just shake her hand and get on? These white characters when they come to Malawi, and indeed other African countries, they think they are purveyors of civilised norms. What a joke. Civilised norms my foot!

We should acknowledge that the observation by British High Commissioner is correct. There is no added value to a woman kneeling before Chilima. It is degrading. Chilima is fu*ked up.

Our culture is one of the major factors that are pulling us backwards and making us fail to make progress. Kyungu as a custodian of culture should realise this. Unfortunately, he like Chilima can’t see this becaue culture blinds people. A woman kneeling before Chilima shows the silliness in our country because it enforces the stupid idea that women are second class citizens. Women are capable of making a living without depending on men and kneeling before men.

Know that not only women do that. Even MEN do that as a way of saying THANKS to anybody who has done something good.

Osawonetsa kuzindikila kwambiri.
The same civilised Caucasian culture displays young ladies COMPLETELY NAKED with ONLY their G-strings pole- dancing in front of multitude of people like hypocrite Tent seated watching live pornography.
What’s wrong with our mothers fully dressed up giving cultural respect like that.
FORSAKE!!!

Mtemi Kyungu,the fact that the lady delivering the respect of thanks to the Vice-President Chilima in Nkhonde tradition,was not wrong only that the white lady was out of touch with the Nkhonde tradition.However,the scenario here is that to other traditions,our mama had over reacted with joy by over bending down instead of half-kneeling.Iam pretty sure that you did not criticize Hastings Banda when our people were turned into modern slaves by dancing for and ululating to their fake messiah for 50 years.Your reaction indicates that you had lost your temper,the white lady was for the first time to see such… Read more »
