Tanzania now owns part of Lake Malawi. This has surprised many people in Malawi. They want to know how it happened.
Lazarus Chakwera is the president of Malawi. He is a religious man. But he let Tanzania have some of the lake. Other presidents before him said no to this idea. They said the whole lake was for Malawi only.
Tanzania made a map showing that it owned half the lake. They gave the map to Moses Kunkuyu, who works for the Malawi government. This proved that the two countries talked about sharing the lake. Some people think Malawi did this to get fuel from Tanzania.
President Chakwera has not said much about this. Malawians want to know the truth. They remember when there were stories about selling islands on the lake. The government said those stories were not true.
Bon Kalindo is an activist who thanked Mr. Kunkuyu for being honest. Mr. Kalindo said the president's party might lose votes if it really sold the lake.
Mr. Kalindo was surprised Malawi didn't send soldiers to the lake to check on Tanzania's actions. He wants other ministers to admit that Tanzania now owns half the lake. He said the old map showed the British giving the whole lake to Malawi a long time ago.
