The Church of Central African Presbyterian (CCAP) Synod of Livingstonia has expressed the need for government to limit the number of children a family can have.
The synod said government should develop a population policy as a measure of controlling the country’s ever growing population.
This is according to the Moderator for the Synod, Reverend John Gondwe, who was speaking with the local media.
Reverend Gondwe said the policy would guide people in the country as to how many children they need to have in a family.
The moderator said because of lacking this policy, people in the country are having as many children as they want.
He said the situation of having many children is putting people as well as the government under pressure when it comes to resources.
Currently people in the country are free to have as many children as they want a situation which puts pressure on the country’s resources.

I wish the other churches were able to talk the sense as the synod has done. I 100%+ agree with the Livingtonia Synod. We really need responsible parents who are able, not only to feed, dress or shelter their children on daily basis but also to have a long term plan with high possibility of implementation. We need not only to quench our daily sexual desires, thereby reproducing unnecessarily, but we need to love our children, even before they are born, through proper family planning. The teachings against population control have always worked against us people. Malawi needs responsible citizens.

Bible imati belekanani ngati mchenga. Lero church yodziwa mau a mulungu ikutsutsa kuti tichulukane ngati mmene ambuye adanenera. Pali chifukwa yapa ndiye chopitira Ku tchalitchiko?
belekanani ngati mchenga sizikutanthauza kuti abeleke ndi munthu mmodzi.
Pleasant Gondwe: bible imati musaonjezere or kuchotsera mau a Mulungu. The bible just says in general kuti ‘BELEKANANI NGATI MCHENGA.’ Tisiyeni ife amphavu tichite mau a Mulungu ngati inu mulibe.
Tisiyeni tizibereka amene akupereka limit ali ndi 6, 8,10 ndiye ine ndikhale ndi mmodzi koma nzotheka mwinadi a synod
Zaiii anawo amawadyesa ndiinuu
There z also need to limit how many kids foreigners can have in this country. Just imagin how the Burundi, amwenye, Congolese multiply faster than the locals? They get support frm UNHCR and yet they flock to our hospitals for free services
I have seen here that all those are against it are male. Amuna omwe amangodziwa kufesa ana kulera sadziwa. Muwafunse a zimayi m’mene kumavutira ku lera ana akachuluka!
