Mkuluyutu adzatipha ndiye as I map any an exercising his rights on money he is not working for? Instead of leaving that money to be used for other important things like the buying of drugs? Malawi yake iit Iadzalamule, ya diaspora? AAPAakungoonesera kuti mkuluyu ndi wamakani, akufuna adzilimbina ndi amnzake and yet APM is just very cool, the true leader osati zinazi zomangofuna thamo. kodi nanga minda inayo mukaiba kuti? Sizodzalanda azungutu apa, icho chidzakhala chibwana cha mchombo lends!!!

Hard talk opportunity doesn’t mean he is a performer. All I can see in this guy are lies and extravagant. How could he create 1 mita jobs from district mega farms and their most touted factories just in 6 months? Are these farms going to rely on rain or irrigation? If its from rain, which rain. The same rain which has been unreliable? If its from irrigation where exactly is he going to get the irrigation water for the other districts that are not along the perennial water sources? In not resigning from the work he is not doing is… Read more »

We all know it is not easy to be interviewed on a world stage, and we want to be fare. Trust me, I wanted to be fair to SKS. And to the extent that most Anglophone African aspiring political leaders dream of appearing on HardTalk, and really take the opportunity to demonstrate the grit they are made of, by all accounts, Chilima flopped BIG. He had his chance, and he has blown it. To elucidate regarding three pithy issues: Asked about why he’s abandoning the APM government, and why he’s seeking the job, he repeats that he’s exercising his rights.… Read more »

CONGRATS CHILIMA!!!!!!!!!!!!! On behalf of many Malawians in diaspora,I say KUDOS to our next President S.Chilima in his first encounter with foreign journalists.Indeed,you have given us every hope in your endeavours to become the next President of our dear Malawi.Apart from the Chipemberes and his fellow Ministers,Chilima is giving us un-diluted hope and courage comes 2019 and beyond.Malawians,the Presidents we have had since indipendence,are all brainless,corrupt,tribalists and incapable.When Chilima was with Peter Muthalika,was not that active in the affairs of the government in the sense that,Peter did not recognise him as his Vice-Presidend hence, he had nothing to do.We Malawians… Read more »

Mr VIP to hell with your firthy lies. I won’t believe you from your antics. Why lying to us all that DPP hands are so dirty with corruption and yet you’re half of it? What about those murderers and cashgaters who are surrounding, the guys who failed to develop Malawi in the presence all mighty donors? APM was a man, a man defied all the odds to bring development without donors. Here was a man under whose leadership all civil servants were paid on time, not on 10th of the following month despite rough nature conditions. Here was a man… Read more »

This is a real thief. Why dinning with guys he labelled corrupt and thieves? If he is really smart he would have resigned from his post honourably. I wonder those who support him cherish him and yet the guy can’t part ways with the so called corrupt DPP? To be honest this guy is selfish and greedy and all what he has in his true colours is jealous. Keep on tricking your fellow crap Mr VIP for my vote forget it, iIbetter gave it back to APM because in clinging to them you’re telling me the DPP guys are true… Read more »

Chilima flopped. He failed from the first question. How many things did he mention as first and foremost? Mfundo alibe nkuluyu.

Everyone has their own side of the interview. SKC supporters think he did well while those opposed to his political views think he flopped. From my perspective, Chilima was lucky that Zainab did not follow up on most of her questions. The man Chilima demonstrated that he has no political reasons to mobilise people against the government he is serving. He showed that he just wants to exercise his right to stand a presidential candidate because he is past the allowable age limit according to the Malawi constitution. Just looking at those around Chilima one can tell they have massive… Read more »

yes true SKC has no fault in APM govt but rather wish to exercise his constitutional right to contest. Point taken bwana SKC therefore stop castigating APM and his leadership only then will be able to woo support from the masses but short of that just know u are shooting urself on foot

I have listened t0 this interview which was very easy on Chilima.. No Hard Talk at all! Why no mention of APM corruption (how he first became president of Malawi and still enjoys criminal assets like Ndata Palace)? Chilima must be forced to do better than this if he is to be a convincing Reform candidate in 2019. Badawi must lift her game too as investigative journalist!

— and why no mention of Robert Chasowa’s murderers in the shiny new UTM party? Masangwi etc

He knows very well that Robert Chasowa’s death is a big can of big worms. Some of the people who coat his leadership at UTM and pull the strings for him to dance are implicated – Masangwi and Ngalande. If you were him and under similar circumstances would you dare say it?

Did APM inherit what you mention as Ndata Palace? I have never heard of this.

The his Chatham house presentation Chilima said one thing which I agree with “…(Malawians) have Limited Analytical Abilities”.When he joined DPP the Party was already known for Corruption, Nepotism, Violence and Murder. What Changed then and what has changed Now?Has his Integrity changed if he has any?
