Isaac deserves one
Amid the huge dosage of media spotlight that has descended on the infamous cashgate, we have staggered in the mist of anger and disbelief that have befallen our emotions and, subsequently, we have lost the touch to appreciate that behind the scenes, there are some Malawians that are making headlines for the good reasons.
That, while selfish individuals were being caught with their car boots stuffed with ‘aloe veras’ (K1 000 notes) plundered from Capital Hill, there have been some fireside tales under the baobab that have put smiles on our faces and it was refreshing last week to hear that our own boxing hero Isaac Chilemba, otherwise known as the ‘Golden Boy’, made a spectacular comeback by beating Ghanaian Michael Gbenge in a bout staged in New York, USA. To me, and, I guess, to several others as well, Isaac’s victory was a breath of fresh air and provided some solace in the wake of the disgraceful free-for-all looting at government HQ.
Well, it is not every time that we celebrate a moment of brilliance by our sports ambassadors on the global scene and, it felt so good to see Isaac scaling dizzy heights once again. Wayne Rooney is a global superstar who needs no introduction and for such an icon to watch and appreciate our ‘Golden Boy’s exploits, it means there are better things to talk about other than cashgate and Ifmis.
Upon my return from Nigeria a month ago, I got a painful text from my former beauty that it was over between us and that she had found herself a real big shot who had not only bought her a house in the outskirts of the capital, but also spoiled her with lots of gifts, including a Toyota Passo and a set of designer G-String underwear. She even had the cheek to text: ‘Osati nyangwita umandigulira iwe zija; kapolo ulibe kalikonse iwe!’
Sadly, though, I learnt recently that the ‘big shot’ was one of the suspects arrested in connection with the infamous cashgate and my hope is that he comes out clean for the good of my former sweetie-pie. That said, I hope Justice Minister Fahad Asani will live by his word and recover every penny stolen from the public purse. I am hoping that when the time comes for government to sharpen its claws like hungry vultures, it will grab all the Passos, mansions, and, of course, even the G-Strings.
Let sanity prevail and give Caeser what belongs to Caeser. Let there be drugs in hospitals for poor Malawians. Glory be to God! Pe…Per..Personally..Emotionally.. Psychologically You’re turning me on Biologically..Sexually.. Dramatically! ?
