Speaking the unspeakable: Malawi needs a ghetto president

November 26, 2018 Peter Makossah - Nyasa Times 17 Comments

Malawi needs a ghetto president. One who grew up in the townships, attended not only a formal education but has also been to the university of life as well as the school of hard-knocks.

Mutharika (r), Chilima and Chakwera battle for presidency

President oti anamenyedwapo makofi komanso okuti naye anafakako ena makhatcha. President okuti ndi watauni komanso za kumudzi amazitsata.

That person must be one who understands both life in all angles. One who can fit into ghetto life struggles of Zingwangwa, Ndirande, Kawale, Ntandire, Chinamwali, Chikanda, Zorozolo and Chiputula and all manner of all phwanyaphwanya-one man for himself and God-for all kinda daily hassles and hurdles.

This person must also be one who can also easily be able to fit as fiddle into the opulence life of Namiwawa, Area 43, Old Naisi and Chimaliro low density areas.

Malawi needs a president who knows Malawi not because is Malawian but because Malawi is in him. Such a person must be one who can be able to speak and not only talk.

The next president MUST be one with a huge interest at heart in bringing all Malawians from across the divide together.

The person must have the zeal to learn  learn a lot of Malawian languages and cultures for that is a sure sign that this person has an interest of Malawi as a whole.

Malawi needs a president who is not interested to be a leader of a certain particular tribal group that he or she belongs to. The country, more than ever,  needs a leader who understand that Malawians are one people regardless of where one comes from.

Malawi needs an energetic person for a president to take our countless problems head-on and at the same time be able to contain the stress that comes with all that jazz of the workload  which comes with the ever-demanding job at the plot number one.

The next president must be productive enough – one who can impregnate his wife or one who can be impregnated by her husband. Isn’t it sweet to have a pregnant first lady or a first gentleman who still can fire from all cylinders?

The point here is; we need a president who will understand the plight of young families not one who just live with a spouse by way of a ‘team spirit.’

Dear country men and women, look for this person, come May 2019 let us vote for this kind of a person and a better Malawi for all will be possible.

Who the cap fit, let them wear it. Take your pick!

Blakaka speaks!

So long!

  2. Yes, one dies not feel he is very superior to the people he wants to serve; who has been outside Malawi for years and thinks the people need a redeemer, himself; one who, having gone through the hurdles, understands people’s needs.

  3. This piece is nice; I love it. Someone is fitting it all. He has my vote and he has already proven that he will do it, not because he knows Malawi but because Malawi is in him. SKC, the man behind this transformation

  5. Koma m’mene walongosolera Makosa chipewa chimenechi pa ma President atatuwa m’modzi chamukwana ndendende zedi mbamba chamufitha sharp voti yanga ndadzamupatsa ntheradi.

  6. Anyone who is planning to vote for an 80 year old non performer to run Malawi for the next five years simply does not wish this country well.

  7. My fellow MALAWIANS we are to blame –why voting for these Americans ??all their assets -all their children –all their money -all their hotels are in abroad –they come here to steal our taxes and hide them in abroad while we don’t have anything here — WE are like beggars to them on top of our taxes —

  8. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH EVEN ME
    HERE IN THE EASTERN REGION
    BELIEVED TO BE AMANGWETU STATE AM TIRED TO CORE WITH
    THE CURRENT SOCIAL ECONOMICAL SITUATION IN OUR MOTHER MALAWI — CHANGE IS INEVITABLE –HE/SHE WHO THE CAP FITS LET HIM /HER WEAR IT –ENOUGH IS ENOUGH !!

  9. We are not deteriorating in Malawi because of our presidents NO!!! we are deteriorating because we the Malawians have no clue!!! we as a nation we need to understand that the country is ours and it is our responsibility to run it. so when we appoint a president we need a states man
    not liars!
    Not drunkards!
    not ‘cash-gate’ Queens!
    We need to learn that we elect a president who has the country at heart! STOP:
    STOP Regionalism
    STOP stealing- no cash-gate
    STOP Stealing no corruption
    STOP Being dishonest! Don’t have ulterior motives for getting into politics other than to improve the country!!!!!
    A ghetto president am afraid is an insult to Malawians!!!! we deserve better! even Malawi can produce international standard presidents! ‘UTM’ Stop brain washing Malawians! The only policy you seem to have is lets defeat ‘APM’!!!! pathetic! come up with alternatives so people can vote for you!!

  10. Blakaka your remind me of my ghetto days.
    Not only Malawi but Africa needs such leader. . Among the crop on offer maybe only one fits. The rest must have grown up in too much poverty and found themselves on top on parties by accident.
    I will tell you one day who cap fits

  11. Makosa, you talk rubbish, leading Malawi does not need those stupid ideas you have put. You are in UK studying, don’t you see that what you are saying does not fit the cup of who you are thinking of. Trump is not young but look at his performance. Look at French President very young but look at what is happening in his country. Of all the people you should be in a better position to know as a reporter leaving in diaspora.

    1. Mr Napoleon so u mean all the people that so far shared their ideas are stupid? They saying rubbish only u have better idea? Kkkkk i have never met stupid cadet like u Napoleon in my entire life. I will not argue with you because I know already thee kind of person you are. U are surely mad. Sucks..!

      1. Thanks Nameless. Should I agree with everyone for sake of pleasing you. Oh boy. If Malawi needed candidates who has grown up in ghettos, why was Bakili Muluzi and Joyce Banda raised. Have you forgotten Calista used to call her a mai a madasi. What was their performance is you measure it. Be civilised young man, stop being a day dreamer. Your option is useless like you nameless. Makosa can even stand fora position but he is in UK for donkey years now, can he not contest because he has lived outside the country. History should remind you that Kamuzu grew up in diaspora not inthe ghetto. All those who grew up in the ghetto brought down Joyce Banda because they wanted to replenish their years of suffering, doing nothing to improve their lives but looking for an opportunity to destroy, and that is many of you are waiting to happen again. Pull up your socks little John , stop believing in stories of castles being built in the air.

  12. Such president doesn’t exist we just need to be trying new people new party every election like US democratic republic no party becomes complacency but deliver know if we dont we out and if we steal we are jailed! Our colonial primitive Laws needs reforms.
