Waiting for Malawi Electoral Commission update

The Electoral Commission is expected to provide update as final hours of the elections approach. At least 97 percent of the centres are operating. Problems remain in volatile Ndirande Township and also at Nkolokoti where violence erupted. Reports indicate Chilangoma and Chiwembe centres not also being able to vote. However in majority of centres across the country, elections have proceeded smoothly. We expect first results from Lilongwe City and many urban areas before the Rural vote comes in. Results will be posted as they come in. We are present in 2,000 polling centres and 100 constituencies, we should be able to project Presidential election results between Dr. Joyce Banda (Peoples Party) Reverend Lazarous Chakwera (Malawi Congress Party) Mr. Atupele Muluzi (United Democratic Front) and Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika (Democratic Progressive Party).
Nkolokoti after rumours that three ballot boxes were pre-marked the situation has returned to normal despite some people stealing materials. We will have live updates from this evening...stay tuned. 
Let Democracy win in Malawi

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...
