Electoral Commission could be split and results might not be out by Sunday

The Electoral Commission which is appointed on partisan basis and representation could end being split and it could affect the certification and eventual results coming out. So far from 1.4 million votes counted so far, MCP President Lazarous Chakwera has a slight lead 45,000 against DPP's President Peter Mutharika while the gap between Chakwera and President Joyce Banda is around 89,000 and with Mutharika 49,000. With protests from the Peoples Party and an 8 day provided gap, the swearing in ceremony that was expected to take place this Saturday is very unlikely and the Electoral Commission has until Wednesday, 27 May, 2014 to release the results. It will be a long way to knowing what Malawians will is like. We are not putting exact figures until we have clear indications. But the winner will eventually be decided by how Professor Mutharika perfoms in Southern Region remaining votes and how he will gain in Central Region. So far the game is for DPP candidate to loose, though MCP remains in high contention.

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...

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...
