  6. Malawi in the news for all the wrong reasons. Such unnecessary loss of life and brutality once again in Africa. Such things unfortunately happen in an environment that does not promote rational thinking and a mindset that views with skepticism all kinds of magical, supernatural and superstitious claims and where politicians can incite violence against another on the basis of these beliefs. Is Malawi at this juncture able to demonstrate humanity? Is it really all lost for Malawi and Malawians will become a people who bay for blood of their fellow human for superstitious and supernatural belief claims?

  16. What has Malawi Police done so far , you are waiting for Thindwa to react ? This country is in the hands of dogs. Can the inspector general open his mouth and tell the whole world why the elderly people should die in the hands of the young people just because of stupid beliefs ? We are to see more evils in this country if we are to continue to be under DPP readership.
