Kondwani Munthali -Malawi

Well, tomorrow Misa-Malawi on May 3, 2013 will announce Malawi's blogger of the year. I wish to congratulate the winner as I was ineligible in the preceding year and more importantly as it was an inaugural award. Interestingly it is the only award I received locally despite the many prestigious certificates and awards of merits on different topic. I have always been proud of my award as the blog was a personal initiative, of the few after my youth work that I got from my own personal effort. After a few false starts in January, many of my blogger followers, whom now directly number 16,000 across the World and with my all time peak of 200,000 hits a day during the July 20, 2011 demonstrations asking me to return to writing. Today I am proud to announce my official return to writing after a break of nine months and more importantly to make this blog, your blog, guide and decision making process for 2014 general elections. I am proud to say that I have, through my work in the pa...

The online jokes about Governance are back. The one that starts with Joyce Banda, Barack Obama and Queen Elizabeth all went somewhere..... they reminded me of days just before July 20, 2011 and much later the days before Bingu wa Mutharika, Malawi's third president collapsed and died. These texts always have one meaning, somewhere people are getting angry, somewhere things are not happening the way they are supposed to meet our expectation. But somewhere the music is louder, some are mourning the passing of Late Bingu, remembering his good side, his colour dreams, his contribution to Malawi. The other side there are celebrations, marked by military parade and another a political rally. Along Chilambula road, oops Paul Kagame Highway as our Leaders would want us to believe and call it, a woman is breast feeding her two twins, sitting on a dusty pavement on a queue to Admarc to access at least 10 kilogrammes of staple food-maize for her to survive for another week.

In March 2012 at the time of dispair, we launched a three day national prayer and fast and within weeks we had a solution. The country is still facing economic challenges and the poorest of the poor are the worst affected. The kwacha has hit all time low and very likely to inflate prices further. Only God can answer us as a nation if we all join hands and this Easter, we call again the believers of our nation. Pray and if possible fast from Thursday evening 28 March to Sunday 31 March at 6pm.Pray and fast for healing of the nation, give to the poor, sick, street,orphans or any needy person if you cannot fast. God will answer us!

From April 1, 2013, this blog is turning into a news website. The link will be updated and the blogsite will not have any political affiliation nor support any political party. Wait for the biggest breaking news, analysis and eventually a weekly newspaper as we progress into elections 2014. There will be no barrels in revealing the truth from the truth. Welcome to a new era of transparency and accountability for all. The Voice of the People is the Voice of God.
