Bring back the champion Mr. TEMBO. He will do good for the Country. He is old but what few years he has got, WILL be good for MALAWI.

what is the use of having this generous, kind hearted leader with no vision for the nation? People’s lifestyles are all time low. There is only one thing that should be on the mind of every leader everyday – What can I do to stimulate the economy, to grow more jobs for the our people and elevate the standard of living? just look at what is happening now. our people are leaving the country for a better life in South Africa. some of them don’t even know how to express themselves in English. working as nannies and Garden boys and… Read more »

Just a dictator but not a despot. He didn’t come into power by force.

To Number 15 above: Malawi’s rulers have made a mess of democracy because they don’t fully understand it. There is nothing wrong with democracy per se, it is those who are democratically elected who can’t handle it. It takes many, many years – perhaps hundreds of years – for a country to develop a truly democratic system of government. The Arab states that overthrew their despots will not have a proper functioning democracy for many years into the future, but hopefully it will come in time.

He was a monster who maimed his own people. He deceived himself that there was no one who was better than him. But just one day when we all were tired of him, we showed him that he was no superhuman and we carried him and threw him into retirement being a broken man. He died a broken man that even only Mugabe as a sitting president came to his funeral. Look at Nyerere’s funeral; all African leaders former and sitting were all there. He never developed Malawi because he never allowed to think outside the boxes. I don’t miss… Read more »

Sapitwa: Don’t listen to the MCPers’ criticisms. Your comment is succinct and based on facts. Their sentiments are based on nostalgia, nothing else. Anybody who has read factual texts about that regime cannot dispute the atrocities of Kamuzu’s regime. He even acknowledged these crimes himself near the end of his life, when he attempted to apologize to the nation. And he claimed he didn’t know most of what was happening. Malawians would not accept that nonsense! For example, the Nile crocks in the Shire have never had it so good since those days. MCP’s MYP and Youth Leaguers would rain… Read more »
