[Civsoc-mw] [NYASANET] Disturbing story about Malawi diplomacy

[Tony Thontholani]

Please, don’t mislead people using different terms for different roles. 
An au pair is not a maid. I went to school in Germany with a girl from Lithuania. She was an au pair. 

Of course I must say that my school was sort of preparatory. We were being groomed into university students. School was five hours a day. 

Kambalame employed “Wanchito”.

And I wonder why someone - not as moneyed - would need Wanchito in the West. 

And it’s a lie that Malawian diplomats have a lot of work to do. Many of them are mere children of Che Uje in Malawi. 

Do your research. How many of them studied International Politics? How many of them studied History? Indeed, how many of them studied International Political Economy? 

In Paris, in 2000, I attended a party at the ambassador’s house. Guess what? The man could not speak French.

She ate her boss' food and lived under her boss' roof. You can even look at he name , Fainesi, that is not a not a non- lumpen name. Akanakhala akuomba mapira kwao.
