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.

  5. Come on ccap synod that is a gud idea, luk at malawi, the population is getting higher and higher while the country remains the same, as am talking now its, 17.1 million, while countries like botswana is biger than us, but there population is small, so why with us? Recall that our country is a land locked, i do support the idea.

  6. first lets talk of mind set change do not rush in imposing policy on people. look at chain one child policy they revoked. don’t make rashional decision.
