SELECTION OF ARTISTS SHOULD BE DONE AT REGIONAL LEVEL SO THAT EACH REGION SHOULD PARTICIPATE. WE HAVE MARTHA KASAMBARA, MAPULANGA VISISI, MARIA NUNDWE AND KELVIN SATO IN THE NORTH PLUS OTHERS WHO DO A GREAT DEAL BUT IT SEEMS THE NOMINEES ARE POPULATED BY ONE REGION. WE CAN FIGHT POLITICAL REGIONALISM IF WE ARE AS WELL BUSY PROPAGATING THE SAME BUSINESS.

Pathetic comment, don’t you knw that the norminations are coming frm all the regions? Gwamba, Suffix, Zani Challe are from the north, while the tay grin and others are from other regions?. This mentality is what brings us down, let pple compete without the region tag otherwise if u divide them into regions u divide Malawi further. Unite Malawians and cut down the regionalism tag and Grow up whilst enjoyin plus supporting Malawi talent regardless of region. Am a tumbuka but i dnt subscribe to that mentality of dividing Malawi up
