  5. Everything has got its’ own time thus how our fellow malawians have died.Now to all fishermen you are advised to go for fishing whenever the wind over the lake is calm broadcasted by meotelogists.Fishing is business people make alot of money but if you are told that the weather is bad over the lake,you shouldn’t dare to go fos fishing because life is more important than fishing.
