A very interesting week

Well nobody can predict how the week will end. Of course we have a left over of Ralph Kasambara in town, he is a prisoner at a Hospital. But the end of the story is yet to come.
We still have Civil Society pulling out of negotiations due to poor environment and some are just becoming outright jokes with some even forgetting the mandates of their organisations.
The we have local issues, I am not sure where cholera is, how flood victims are coping up and also those that have no food in their houses during their lean period.
Then we have Parliament which is another interesting development and we are still not sure how far it will go. But there is Hope Alliance, whose owners are not yet out. I am sure by next week this blog will tell you who is behind it in the ruling DPP and has presidential ambitions.
More than once I have stated that the internal politics of DPP is more dangerous than its outside machinery and very soon, stories will come out of who and who.
What about the chances of various presidential hopefuls? This is another area that will be examined this week as we start brining more analysis and issues that will change this blog to a primary and real time news sources.
Lets all keep in touch for week beginning now!

What the Gay rights campaigners missed!

The ruling on Gay engagement as buggery and indecency is something that was expected and generally the feeling is that it is welcome in a deeply conservative society. The worst perfomer are the Gay rights activists who though they could influence our courts with messages from England, South Africa and even nearby borders.

Unfortunately with the current global information access, one can easily deduce the calculated test-the waters plan that later emerged with another wedding in Argentina and in Asia and similar attempts in Kenya. The use of people without any public influence such as Chimbalanga and Monjeza showed how the camapigners view the views of Malawians and our society and some...

Ousmane Owen Munthali 1987-2015, the best of memories

Good morning Mr Munthali. I always responded Good morning Mr. Munthali. He always ended ndimakukondani Achimwene. I would laugh or ask what is it you want. He would say your time, I have nobody to bother now, so you are my choice lets chat. Every call, whatsapp, messenger from Ousmane was something else. He did not see what time it was and neither did he mind that he was inconveniencing you. He said he never applied to be my brother, so since he cant be fired, get used to it and live with it. In 2007 whilst in Johannesburg, we were with Chikwekwe Khonje, is his rugged Fiat, South African Police stopped and searched us. I was furious, Ousmane was laughing after the ordeal I snapped up asking him what was funny about the humiliation of being stopped and searched as potential suspects, he casually said "zilibe woti wachoka ku USA, kaya ndiwe celeb wa newspaper ku Malawi umazunza ma President kwanu, aliyense kuno ndi suspect. Pepa chimwene." I am dark, he could not read I had t...
