Women teachers receive K600 each for dancing for President Mutharika

Women teachers in Balaka on Wednesday afternoon left Balaka L.E.A School ground dejected after they were given K600 [less than $1 United States Dollar] each as a take home after spending almost the whole day patronizing and dancing for President Peter Mutharika during a political rally.

One of the lady teachers told Nyasa Times that she regret patronizing the rally.

“It is very painful to be forced to attend a political party rally only to take home just K600.00. I regret coming here,” said the teacher.

“I and my fellow lady teachers reported for work this morning only to be sent back and prepare for the president’s function. This is totally unfair and undemocratic,” she added.

The source further revealed she suspects that some senior Democratic Progressive Party (DPP)  officials have put some money into their pockets.

“We were told that the money provided to be shared was K128, 000; how can a group of over 200 people share that amount. Somewhere, somehow something is wrong,” she said.

Observers say the  dance that characterised the one party era had cultural significance but, in the current currency, it is the deterrent that politicians use for the furtherance of their oppressive agendas.

“What makes a Malawian woman so susceptible as far as dance is concerned? Why dance to a politician when your own man walks a far to look for a dance?

“If we were to make economic sense out of it, you would find time mismanagement of significant proportions in which one would have been engaged in viable economic enhancing activity,” a political observer said.

Efforts to talk to DPP Eastern Region Women Director Eluby Kandeu proved futile as she was busy addressing lady teachers.

However, Nyasa Times can confirm that some women teachers were picked from Ntcheu, Balaka and Liwonde to attend the political rally.

  8. Dancing for the President in this day and age is ridiculous. It is a throwback to the time of Kamuzu. All that silly nonsense should have been left behind with the advent of multi-party democracy. We need to grow up and treat politics and politicians seriously. Teachers should know better than to get involved with this nonsense. It serves them right.

  9. K600 shame
    When will Malawians awaken from sleeping syndrome of appreciating a ghost of empty visions and nepotism leadership?
    Freedom didn’t came on a silver platter but through jukk sacrifice of bravery men and women who till todate are just like fools and poor while the Alliens enjoy the butter life
    The truth will set a unique leadership under the one umbrella called a transparent governmen of Malawians .

  11. This is women abuse. kukavinira khalamba yopanda mano mkamwayo? Nanuso azimai muzichenjera , Muziyendera yoti akupatseni musanavine. za utsiru. Satana ameneyu a chokedi educated salvage Muntharika.

  14. A general lapse in leadership. Malawians please open your eyes and wake up. Why should you have a statue in the state house? Something that us the ti be used by family, tribesmen and cronies as a means to steal
