[Civsoc-mw] Can Malawi Forever Bury the Ngwazi?

[Tony Thontholani]

New development projects, those that are sound and the many that leave much to one’s dismay, are prey to exaltation directed only to a wise and dynamic leadership, a godly hand that no other Malawian would fathom, and a fearless audacity that is only endowed in the presidency. The avalanche of adulation has found one medium of transmission to the subjects they are aimed at: the state broadcasting machinery that charges with exclusive loyalty to the government of the day. State-owned broadcasters have become the prize that comes with the victory package after elections, just like in the old Kamuzu days. The perks of ruling Malawi have made sane and respectable men and women parade stupidity in front of a stunned public as they keep crisscrossing from one ruling party to another. They claim the intolerable nature of their dumped parties as the cause of an important change of heart that holds the interest of Malawians first. Presently, Malawi resembles a single party state as it did during the 31-year MCP regime. Our democrats today seem to have one thing in common – to grab hold of state machinery at the disposal of abusers and manipulators. And to continue in the same abusive spirit.
