- I’m no agriculture expert. But like many Malawians, I’ve watched with growing frustration as the AIP devours over K250 billion every year—yet millions of our people remain food insecure. www.linkedin.com/posts/mcbram...
- #Malawi must break free from the shackles of political hero worship. We must abandon the parable of the flawless leader & embrace the reality that true leadership is messy, imperfect, and, most importantly, subject to the will of the people. Read on: www.linkedin.com/pulse/parabl...

- Lest we forget—@LAZARUSCHAKWERA's 2019 campaign promises still echo. But have they turned into action? Are we truly prosperous? United? Free from corruption? Has the rule of law prevailed? #Malawi, the ballot was a contract. It’s time to audit the results. #HoldingPowerToAccount
- A few years back, someone quipped that if you're born and raised in #Malawi, you die a thousand deaths before your final breath. Back then, it sounded poetic—now, it just feels like a lived reality
- Bread prices in #Malawi are rising faster than my blood pressure at the checkout. My go-to baker, Bread Talk, just hiked their standard loaf from K1,500 to K4,100 in two months! At this rate, by September, we might be bartering votes for a loaf. Bring on the mbatata season!
- Sifting through court filings, submissions, and rulings to find the story is an extreme sport—one that requires a legal endurance and discipline which I clearly lack. Which is why I’d never have made it as a lawyer of note. Ife koma zomwezi.

- In the beginning God created the Earth. And rested. And then he created man. And rested. And then he created woman. Since then, neither God nor man has rested.
- Kamuzu Banda's massive estate, Nguru ya Nawambe House in his native Kasungu, spans 422 hectares with 24 bedrooms, 3 libraries, a stadium, a helipad & a dam. A court battle between his family and Mama Kadzamira over his will has left this magnificent property unused and neglected

- #Malawi fuel procurement is increasingly scandalous. A proposed deal by the state bypassed the National Oil Company of Malawi (NOCMA) to permit the equally struggling ADMARC to illegally award a K650 BN fuel contract to a SA company is mind-boggling www.investigativeplatform-mw.org/show-story/i...
- Malawi’s fuel crisis has escalated into a full-blown national emergency, paralyzing the country. It’s time for President @LAZARUSCHAKWERA to declare a state of emergency and urgently seek external assistance. This situation is unsustainable—action is needed now. #Malawi
- Malawi's version of "austerity measures" deserves its own Netflix special. Facing an economic meltdown, the government promised to tighten belts—then added more ministers to the Cabinet. Turns out, in #Malawi, austerity is just a state of mind.
- In my 28 years as a journalist, I’ve seen leaders rise and fall, but never have I witnessed a descent as swift and shocking as President @LAZARUSCHAKWERA's.
- One ought, every day at least, to hear a little song, read a good poem, see a fine picture, and if it were possible, to speak a few reasonable words. - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
