Khumbo Kachali, Mose Kunkuyu and Zodiak Debate one should not miss

Moses was this morning sworn in as President Banda's choice of the new Minister of Information. I am told the young man at the peak of the Hope Alliance when everybody was running away from him, he kept pushing and talking to some Members of Parliament to join him. Many opted to leave him and "his madness" as one Minister famously said.
Congratulations to Moses.
Then there is Khumbo Kachali who suddenly has become a subject of debate as to whether he qualifies to be Vice President of Malawi. I am not sure I understand the question of Khumbo, the cool giant who for long has been very open on many issues.
Nobody raised an eyebrow when Kachali was made Vice President of the Democratic Progressive Party, Chief Whip and a Cabinet Minister. Why should his elevation to manage the State be different from other roles.
After all, the Vice Presidency really depends on the President and as we saw with Joyce Banda, she was left with nothing on her plate after a pyramid of lies against her culminated into something else.
I believe Khumbo qualifies, just like he qualified to be Vice President of the two parties- the DPP and the Peoples Party.
Lastly this Friday, at 7pm Zodiak Broadcasting Corporation has organised a public debate I would not wish to miss. Defecting DPP MPs are there in large numbers so too are the public to debate the morality of their defections before their president is buried.
The debate starts at 7pm!

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

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. First. nobody in Malawi believes that the two poor souls, Tiwonge Chimbalanga and Steve Monjeza did that on their own accord, and the emergence of well established lawyers raised eyebrows that these two average casual workers suddenly could afford legal representation when they barely could afford lunch. 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
