This month, 20 girls from the Edinburgh Girls’ High School in northern Malawi have travelled 7,600 miles to the Scottish...
One thing that Malawi should be proud of is that it dealt with one-party dispensation and that’s it. Post 1994, there were a number of new political parties that ruled the country ie UDF and then DPP and then PP and then DPP again. Although these political parties or politicians were from one mother body (UDF), the point of the matter is that Malawi never experienced a dominant party from 1994. In fact the politics of Malawi has been very dynamic with no single party assured of winning elections and if they do, they do so with less than 50%.… Read more »
Prof. Zeleza is right.Since 1994 we can’t point out any real development in the country.There is a shortage of Universities and Collages.The same politicians jump from one party to another when voting time is near.The same people who were part of the ruling party that was stealing money for development purposes from ordinary malawians are now pretending to be innocent.It’s not easy really to choose who to vote for because people have been late down by the same people who are running those parties.I think we should advertise the positions of ministers and have outsiders apply and run our country… Read more »
Prof.Zeleza has been an MCP strategist since time in memorial.
Nde amuchotse ntchitotu. Nanga monsemuja sikuwina bwanji?
This is the problem with some Malawians who shoot their mouths without knowing what they’re talking about. Prof Zeleza was a fierce critic of MCP and has never shied of criticizing subsequent governments as he does in this article. He was actively involved in the democracy movement, but turned down a ministerial appointment in 1994 by President Muluzi.
Just a short note our beloved prof Zeleza. Malawian education is still very high. One needs to be selected and just a carry on education. For just your information, I could not make to Chanco or and other college while in Malawi but now have got all
these degrees from Obama and Trump land !!!! So easy!!! Viva Malawian education!!!
You couldn’t make it to the University of Malawi because of your broken English. Your grammar is poor. Some of us made it to the University of Malawi because we deserved it.
Tiyambe… I hope its you. I read your Madala’s children in 2004. What a nice book. But ask yourself why out of all the people boarding the plane, she was the only casualty? And why out of all Malawians who freely express their views on social media etc, she is the only and first person to be nabbed. Bwana Zeleza.. mmayi uyu anaonjeza ndizopsetsa mtima kumangokutukwana daily. Let her be silenced indeed. We must all learn to be respectiful. Criticism is not wrong. Kuli ana achina Kajoloweka amalankhula mosapsyatila but facts which we all share. I wished the police had… Read more »
Well said, prof. The total lack of perspective and the tendency to politicise everything, corruption, patronage and tribalism. And even when you say to the politicians that Malawian degrees have little value in terms of quality outside the country and that in the UK, for example, Malawian degrees are being classified as higher national diplomas and masters as first degrees no one pays attention to this looming crisis. Incredible.
