Thomas Chirwa is a political analyst who recently shared his thoughts about some faith leaders. The faith leaders held a press briefing, but Chirwa said it was not clear enough.
The faith leaders did not say which churches they were from, which Chirwa thinks makes their statements less believable.
Chirwa also discussed Archbishop Thomas Luke Msusa, who has been important in national discussions. Chirwa said Msusa was just using his right to free speech. Malawi is a democratic country. Everyone can share their views, especially on big national issues.
Chirwa mentioned an event that many Malawians are interested in. He asked who told the President about a certain plane. The plane arrived in Mzuzu but did not land there.

Like the rest of Zimbabwe, Manicaland is getting ready to celebrate National Unity Day on Monday. It's a day to appreciate the peace and togetherness in the country and protect all the progress that's been made so far.
Zimbabwe has been stable and peaceful ever since the Unity Accord was signed way back in 1987. This has allowed people from all sorts of backgrounds to live together in harmony. It's really awesome, and everyone should be proud of it.
The country's founders, Robert Mugabe and Joshua Nkomo, along with other brave leaders, deserve a lot of credit. They put aside their disagreements and worked together for the good of the nation. In the beginning, there was a risk the country might split apart. But they quickly fixed that...
Bangladesh wants to look into a mutiny that happened way back in 2009. It was a big mess. A bunch of soldiers took a ton of weapons from their headquarters. They went on a rampage and killed a lot of people. The mutiny spread really fast. Thousands more soldiers grabbed weapons. They all sided with the mutineers.
The army had to come in and shut it down. When the dust settled, 74 people were dead. That included 57 army officials. The military courts punished hundreds of the mutineer soldiers. Some got death sentences. Others got a few years in prison. The UN said the trials were unfair.
The mutiny really shocked the country. An earlier investigation said the soldiers revolted because they were super angry. For years, they had wanted...
President Mbumba likes what happened in Mozambique! He sent happy words to Daniel Chapo, who just won the top job there. The courts said the voting was good, but many people are mad about it.
The people hit the streets! They think something bad happened with the October 9 votes. They're making noise and blocking roads because they don't trust what the courts say.
Mbumba wrote a nice note to Chapo. He thinks Chapo will make his country better and richer. He wants everyone there to work together and be happy.
But here's the drama! The guy who lost, Venâncio Mondlane, says the whole thing was fixed! He told his fans to fight back. They've been yelling his name since Monday! The police had to use teargas to make them stop blocking the...
NamWater needs a lot of money! As of March 2024, people owed them N$2 billion, which is way more than last year's 18% increase.
Almost every town in Namibia gets water from NamWater, which sells water to 50 out of 55 places. But many folks aren't paying their bills on time. Times are hard, and more people can't keep up with payments.
The water company also has big problems at places like border posts. These spots need better ways to get water because they're using more than before. But when government offices take forever to pay, NamWater struggles to keep things running smoothly.
NamWater isn't giving up, though! They're talking with local leaders to find better ways to get paid. They also deal with mines and factories that need...
The courts just made a big change in South Africa. They said city workers must pay back money when they waste it. This happened at the Supreme Court of Appeal.
Think about Nelson Mandela Bay, a big city area. It had a huge transport project that cost billions. Because of this new rule, many workers there might have to give back lots of cash.
Before this, lawyers used to say cities could only get money back if they could prove they lost it. But Judge Schippers disagreed. He looked at the law and found something different.
The judge said the rules are clear. If city workers mishandle money on purpose or by accident, they have to pay it back. It doesn't matter if the city lost money or not. The law wants to ensure that city workers...
The election drama in Namibia keeps unfolding. Panduleni Itula, who leads the IPC party, asked the courts to look at the recent election results. But experts think the new president-elect shouldn't worry too much yet.
The IPC and Itula filed two cases. They want the courts to rule that the recent elections weren't valid. These cases will be heard next year.
Pius Dunaiski, who studies politics, says Nandi-Ndaitwah can rest easy. Her start as president won't face delays right away. He points out that only the ECN can name a president. Unless a court changes that decision, everything stays the same.
The court date might not stick. Dunaiski thinks the January 15 meeting could just lead to a delay. The lawyers need time to trade papers...
Louren Skrywer wanted a better life. She took a job as a house worker at the Namibian embassy in America. Her boss would be Julia Imene-Chanduru, a top Namibian diplomat.
The job seemed great at first. They promised her N$54,000 each month. But things turned bad fast. Skrywer says she only received N$2,700 monthly after she arrived in 2007.
She decided to fight back. In 2021, she went to court in Maryland. She said Imene-Chanduru made her work against her will and took her passport. The case made Namibia's leaders step in to protect their diplomats.
The story gets more complex. Imene-Chanduru might become the next foreign minister. But these claims could hurt her chances.
Skrywer tells a sad tale. She worked as Imene-Chanduru's...
