President Banda heads to Mozambique to ‘repair’ relationship
2012-05-11 20:44:00 Malawi President Mrs. Joyce Banda is this Saturday expected to arrive in neighbouring Maputo, Mozambique where topping the list of agenda is repairing of bilateral ties that came to grind halt during the eight year misrule of late president Bingu wa Mutharika. Government officials are tight lipped on the trip but according to information monitored on BBC Network Africa program, President Banda is expected to hold talks with her Mozambican counterpart Armando Guebuza. Meanwhile, Mozambican analysts told the UK based radio, Banda’s visit is of great benefit to Malawi considering the economic boom Mozambique is facing after decades of an all out civil war. “Malawi has a lot to benefit from its neighbour because Mozambique is currently one of Africa’s fastest growing economies. Since the end of the civil war Mozambique’s economy has been growing by double digit margin mainly due to exploration of mineral resources,” unidentified journalist told the radio. Preside...

Malawi President says Taylor’s conviction lesson to Africa leaders
2012-05-11 16:14:00 Malawi’s Head of State Joyce Banda has said she discussed in passing with former Liberian President Charles Taylor’s conviction by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for crimes against humanity when she recently met her Liberian counterpart, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf in Monrovia. “We talked about the issues surrounding his arrest and subsequent conviction. It is encouraging that Africans have resolved that they would not allow their leaders to abuse them anymore. A case in point is what has recently happened in Mali,” President Banda told journalists in Lilongwe recently, adding that time has come when African leaders can no longer amputate arms and limbs of the very people that put them to power. She said leaders derive power to rule from the people and that they therefore ought to serve and respect the people and not victimize them anyhow. Another African leader, Sudanese President Hassan Omar Al Bashir has also been indicted by the ICC on similar charges. President Banda ...

Malawi President Banda, gigantic potholes ahead!
2012-05-11 13:40:00 Preamble: Shocking information is coming up revealing just how deeply President Bingu wa Mutharika’s Democratic Progressive Party (DPP)-led administration was mired in corruption, contrary to the song of “zero tolerance”. A lot of dirt is and will flow. In confidence and without pre-empting others, I have been made to believe that a lot of information is surfacing. And one can only hope that the Malawi media will do the needful. But, where should I start? The July 20, 2011 Demonstrations are as good as any point to start. Although in all honesty, the fraud goes back further than that. I will begin with the obvious, and what is already known as evidenced by the untimely death of the murdered whistle-blower, Robert Chasowa (RIP). President Banda: We are watching how government will conduct itself in the award of contracts. After the 20 July demonstrations, another mass demonstration was planned for August 17, 2011. At the eleventh hour, it was called off by some Civil Society le...

Just about everyone has an opinion on the issue, including Hollywood's movers and shakers. With all the overwhelming enthusiasm for the president's announcement, there is also cautious optimism on the subject, given the issue's continued hot-button status in pop culture, as well as around the nation. Perez Hilton is a public figure who counts himself among the cautiously optimistic, mostly because the issue is so loaded and political.

Memo to Phony Doctors Group: Let the President Eat His Hot Dog!
2012-05-09 22:59:00 The evangelical vegetarians at Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (despite the name, only 10 percent of its members are medical doctors) have a habit of attacking President Obama and the First Family for their consumer choices. You see, apparently the President and the First Lady appreciate the occasional cheeseburger, and PCRM thinks that photos of the Obamas enjoying food cause obesity or something. The group intends to petition the White House to forbid pictures of the Obamas or other members of the President’s staff eating what PCRM calls “carcinogenic or obesogenic foods.” Meanwhile, media outlets are eating PCRM’s press releases up. More and more, it seems PCRM is adopting the “press slut” philosophy of its comrades at PETA. What are these evil foods anyway? Given PCRM’s track record, they are any foods with animal products. Whether it is bashing heart-healthy fish, lean chicken, or even milk, PCRM is no stranger to employing junk s...
