Its lies. How a country like Botswana make it withiout a river o lake? There is pleanty water in lake Malawi. Why not say because donors sanamupaseni dalama. The milinieum money Malawi and Zambia was supposed to get Malawi did not get coz of corruption. APM/DDP says he is developing Malawi why dont he develope elektricitet? NO donor will give money to Peter. They know he will take to hus account in America. This problem has been there long even with Bingu second term. JB corrected it lasten short when APM/DDP came to power problem started again. Why? U know the answer.
This is progress. We have gone from being the “Warm Heart of Africa” to being the “Dark Heart of Africa”. If we work hard enough, we shall soon become the “Faint Heart of Africa”. And we don’t have to work very hard to achieve that status. This is Malawi – our Malawi.
