  1. Conferring an honorary professorship on APM for his ‘achievements’ as President of Malawi simply demonstrates how cynical are the Chinese. They are simply pandering to his own self-importance. By building him up they know they will be able to twist him round their little finger and get what they want from any aid agreement. APM is not sophisticated enough to see through their ploy and will be taken for a ride to the detriment of his fellow Malawians.

  4. Only Malawians get these stupid honorary degrees. Every one who gets an honorary degree is a thief! This is one example of an embarrassment to the nation.

  5. APM is on a roll I must say. He needs to donate free vicks and vapour rub though, there are way too many chest pains with this news. ahahahah mutima ukuwawa heavy kwa fans yochuluka

  6. Degree for stealing k145,000,000.00 and encouraging corruption without taking thieves to courts…e.g. maize gate,fuel gate and generator gate

  7. Peter has already academic professorship. Why would one want an honorary? Some true African presidents have been refusing this rubbish. This guy is a waste of time to the country. An d one wonders the basis for the the honour, is it corruption, lies, nepotism, blackouts, hunger, cluelessness etc?

    1. I hope one day you will considered for such a prestigious award, for now keep having the chest pains kkkkkkkk use vicks or vapour rub mtima ukuwawawo

  9. Its it not strange that these Chinese Universities are honouring other people and not their own politicians? The Chinese Prime Minster is not a Professor, but here in Malawi we have someone decorated with so many honours and titles but with nothing to show for. Development does not need these decorations. Only African are the ones who believe in these titles for themselves.

    1. Why are you butt hurt? ahahhaah chill up, drink some cold water you will pop a vein, BP siyabwino polani moto a nsete

  11. What a Waste! still his days are numbered both on life expectancy and presidency! Time bomb ticking…..tick tok…..

  12. Trapence, Mtambo and Kajoloweka please tafulumilani mukaleletse chonde asanamupatse. Bola akanapatsa Chakwera, Joice kapena mnyamata wamiyambi ndangoyiwala dzina lake.

      You are indeed chicken brain like your brothers Noxy , hard truth. What is so special with honorary profesorship?. That’s why you call Gertrude mutharika Professor. Mandela and Mugabe had (has) too many of these but they never called themselves Dr orProf. You need to have standards wamva iwe. That’s why your president says we cannot have speed train in this era and yet Kamuzu was able to give us rail service more than 40 years ago. This apparent lack of ambition makes your president so ordinary and basic. I can’t imagine it that we have such a classless and basic person for presidency . No class nothing . That’s why you see DPP thugs unleashing terror on people and yet the president can’t deal with it. No president worths his name will allow or tolerate the Nosense that the DPP cadets is inflicting on Malawians. It’s stupidity . What’s wrong with peter mutharika for God sake that he allows party thugs to wreck havoc on citizens with reckless abandon and he can’t deal with them. Pathetic and stupid is how this leadership can be defined and discribed. Total sickness. He is simply a president without class and standards.
