Chakwera’s speech has resonated well with all right-minded people. Blue camp reminded me of those pangas on 19 July 2011. MCP=Make Chakwera President
It’s only a battle for two parties DPP and PP, the rest are just escorting.
Am not surprised with your assessment Madzo considering that we have over 75% of illiterate people in Malawi most of whom live in the south and central regions.
Who would in their right mind, vote for DDP or PP with all this cashgate mess? One of the reasons why our country is ranked one of the poorest in the world is because Malawians do not know how to hold their politicians to account, thanks to the higher illiterate rate. Our Politicians knows this and they take advantage of it because they know that no matter what they do, their kinsmen will still vote for them just becoz they come from the same region, district and or village or becoz they practice the same religion.
With this kind of voting be assured fellow Malawians that Malawi shall always be one of the, if not the poorest country in the world becoz her people are used to poverty so much so that they are never embarrassed to survive on handouts from the very same politicians who are stealing from them.
Well said Mtonga
I do agree!!!!
Mbonga you just made my day short and precise just the nail on the head, no miss!
Chakwera nailed it well and I see a landslide for MCP… I am convinced beyond any reasonable doubt that Chakwera is not a novice in politics – remember what happened before and during the MCP Convention – the same will be happening come May 20. The guy knows how to read elections moments and package himself. Trust me my judgement!! PP, DPP and UDF handed the party presidential to contenders on sliver platter, its only Chakwera who competed and won genuinely. The other presidential hopefuls from DPP, UDF and PP are yet to face the real test of election… just wait and see but do not cry when what I am telling you happens.
Chakwera ndi dilu!!
I wish MCP all the best as we battle man-made poverty, unemployment and all evil we have been experiencing due to lack of visionary leadership.
May God bless Malawi
