The present Malawi is lacking leadership(!?}

raz na piza · Member

if they think young people are fools they probably look at people like ngwazi,how do you expect them to respect the young ambitious who want the best for the country,i have a feeling that these tactictical moves are being used because of fear,they fear that the youth with mental fitness and able bones are ready to launch.

they say with age comes wisdom but with more age comes stupidity and paranoia,and these are classic cases of paranoia,and the youth will be called anything.

Do we have any hope that the youth of Malawi shall deliver a better tomorow in the nearest future?

I would like to witness a youth organisation and a party that shall only sponsor young candidates for parliamentary election in 2009. Buy it or **** -off , our National Assembly , one of the most important decision making organs in the land, has proved to be manned by people who are psychos and incapable of taking the country to the next desired level of social-economic development. And keep shut if you cant reason , but think about it , real change in our beautiful country shall only come if the youth get involved in politics. True to UDF s Jumbe , "The problem we are facing as a country is poor leadership by the older generation”. And as young people we must be mostly concerned about the future unlike these older politicians who are only interested in looking backwards.

Since political pluralism in 1992 the youth have been relegated to young democrats in parties and are only used to lobby for interests of individual politicians in exchange for small handouts . The UDF for instance have tended to push the youth to the periphery as combatants and criminals thus blocking their participation in the national decision-making process.

One of the so many unanswered questions is who is to blame, between the older generation led by John Zenasi Ungapake Tembo who has been a Member of Parliament since independence , who is not just about to relinquish his long hold on power, and the younger generation who seem to have kept out of competitive politics in favour of their careers such as Ismael Wadi, Gustave Kaliwo, , Silvester Kalemebera, Peter Chinoko, Mkwambisi, etc .

To all Malawians please "kwawo gule! kwawo gule!". How? for that matter do you you think Malawi can delovelop if people want to be English just because they live in England,be proud of our country and when we finish our studies we should go home and develop it with the knowledge we have acquired abroad.

Wabodzatu iwe!!!!! Kumalawi kwake kuti kopitakonsoko? Tikalimbane ndi a buluzi omwe aja? Panopa kwasintha chani choti ineyo ndilimbe mtima kusiya uchi ndapeza kuno nkukadziyanika kuchilawedziko? Chinthu chimodzi chokha ndiuze?!!! Bakili ndi uyo akuuwa zobwerera, akakhala a Bingu nawo sanathepo kanthu kenikeni...i know wina abwera ndi yachuma koma ndani anganene honestly kuti ali nazo ntchito za ana a ana athu?

The current situation in malawi is a welcome scenario, since future leaders like amikhe can learn invaluable lessons from such activity.

unlike holla who is waiting for change to happen, amikhe will help make that change. All i can advise those who share this view is to take your time and study hard. Kamuzu spent over 40 years abroad and it was well worth it.

Just you wait broda, ndikutitu anankafumbwe onse asoweretu! Malawi ikufuna munthu otchuka kale oti akati ayime pampando asavutike nkuyamba kudzinenerera. Pakadali pano ife nde tidakali ku uchi.

What was well worth it kwa kamuzu? kukumbutsa kuti adatipeza tili mbulanda? Kugula makadi a chapani ngakhale ya mwana asanabadwe? Chamba eti? Pangani zanuzo ife titsatilabe tikakwanilitsidwa. Akunkumbukira Domoya wa youth ndani? Akakhala mayelo banzi amatenga aulele nkumapatsa ana a lale. Kuzunza.

Take it or leave it, malemu alidzi(R.I.P) had a vision that is yet to be surpassed. As for makhadi, blame it on your then earial chairman!

eeetchef, we need a youth pressure group in malawi,we already have inside connections in the form of young members of parliaments, Insiders are intelligent people who have contact with the government officials, these people can be very useful because they raise the issue in parliament and discuss the problem in a formal way.

These people have expert knowledge and have researched and practiced our political situation and now they feel strongly about any change, to make them specialize in one particular area that is of concern to the youth would be an uphill warfare but with enough support they can get us to the promissed land. some have done lengthy investigations before getting elected which provided them with immense experience and made them more knowledgeable thats why they stand a better chance of being taken seriously by the government.

because only genuinely concerned people would go to such extents, researching about areas to make a change which they are not paid for and committing their lives to make our malawi a happier place. In this way the government can have a reliable representative who gathers locals opinions.these dudes in charge of malawi now have lost the midas touch if they ever had one.they paved a way for us its time for the youth to captain the ship.it might sound like a monster task but impossible is nothing.

What vision? The same one that (among other things) left Malawi without it's own medical school despite three decades of independence? I'm sorry, but Kamuzu is responsible for everything that's wrong with Malawi today including it's flawed economy and politics.

Awmygawd, on kamuzu's achievements R.I.P, don't let mkwiyo cloud your judgement. His government planned and implimented alot of projects, the biggest one being the nkula falls hydro electric plant. None of ther new leaders have undertaken projects on that scale.The education system was not as bad as nowadays either.

Most of us have been victims of the system that was in play then, mawelazi ake yielded too much power and were abusing those powers. I was there!

Its neither me nor my reason and thinking, but its a reference for your eyes only ....source : anonymous.

Subject: A TCHEYA AVUTA PA CHILAWEZI.

Folks,

Here's Bakili Muluzi's speech at one of his coming back campaign rallies and I quote.

" Why are people afraid of me standing again? Makutu ali mbuu kutuwa mufuna muzipikisana ndi ine? Wina afune kaya asafune 2009 am back mpaka na 2019 wooo! Money talks wawa". End of quote.

I think a Tcheya has decided to come back just to fulfil his personal stupid issues. Mwina zimene anaba zija zatha kapena? Nanga tingati apeza hoppy yina nanga?

Our beautiful Constitution is clear and straight forward " maximum of two consecutive terms". Full stop. End of story. So what's up a Tcheya? The constitution is clear that Muluzi can not come back. He served ( or mis-served) 2 terms and that's the maximum. It says that one can only serve a maximum of 2 terms and those 2 terms must be consecutive. It doesn't say anything about coming back. What does the word maximum means?

If for instance Bingu fails to secure a second term, he surely can never come back to serve another term on grounds that he served only one term, because the constitution will not allow him. Why? Because his 2 terms must be consecutive.

Why the framers came up with these two words,"maximum" and "consecutive" it was to prevent the life presidency. Can some one please tell a Tchaya that this is not Ufumu. Stay retired n' jomba and appoint another candidate who will not ditch you again.

If a Tcheya cannot find a prominent candidate for the hot seat, please tell him that ine ndilipo pano wolowalowa and see how I will make him the meat of crocodiles. I will not be lenient like the way Bingu damped him. I will surely make him dig his own grave yard in Ntaja.

A Tcheya kapumeni, the two terms you had were enough, we had you and we don't need you anymore.

Mukawona zii ndalowera mu The Zone mu.
