[Civsoc-mw] Andrea Long Chu on Her Debut Book, ‘Females’

[Maybach Woyee]

My rich friend KB,
This is disheartening and disappointing. What is the problem with Malawi?
You mean the police and University lecturers are so poor to afford a
commercial sex worker at Bwandilo or Hanover Street? Imagine having your
daughter sexually abused by a professor just to get Mark's???
