THE HARE FOOLS HIS FRIENDS                                                          BY MATILDA PHIRI There was once a Hare who organized a competition with other animals to prove to them that he was strong.   He went to the elephant and told him to fight with him. “My dear friend Elephant, do you know that I am very stronger than you? In a tug of war despite being small I would win!” The elephant laughed at the Hare, asking him, why he was so confident.   “I am very big and also am a strong animal. I’d definitely win”, said the Elephant. After sometime while arguing, the elephant agreed to compete with the Hare to see who was very stronger. The Hare told the elephant to stay on one side and that he would go on the other side. When the Hare went on the other side, he found a lion preparing his meat and he greeted him. The Hare told him the same thing he told the Elephant to fight with him. The lion laughed at him. “My friend Har

  A WARNING TO MEN  By Matilda Phiri Men watch out! African Men watch out! Life is crazy, life is a mystery and life can be funny. Be careful with what you put into the universe. Whatever you put out in the Universe will certainly fin d its way back to you. Make sure whatever you are putting out there has some goodness in it, which you will enjoy when it comes back to you. Life is a very good teacher. Life is so patient, it gives you time to learn, meditate and pick out lessons from it. Life also gets tired with your actions if you are not learning. That is why even the Bible says 'Whoever hears good news or the gospel and does not change, he will die suddenly.’ This is dangerous and most importantly, a big warning. African men these days are hard to trust. Most men have two or more girlfriends, whether married or not. They even enjoy the mistress (MG) words that they have MG 2 or Sidechick. The unmarried ones are also worse these days; they keep changing from one girl to ano

THE 2020 MEGA MEN’S CONFERENCE BY MATILDA PHIRI “The long awaited men’s conference is finally here,” a loud but husky voice announced on the radio. Immediately, I dropped the mop, rushed to the radio and turned the volume up.   “All Men, young and old, let’s meet at Chichiri Stadium for the mega men’s conference,” continued the message.   As a man who was doing nothing important and with no hopes for a wife, I was curious and I quickly made up my mind that I should avail myself on this big day. My curiosity was on what will this conference bring forth on my life? What kind of men will I meet there and how will they help me with my problems? These were questions that came into my mind and I prayed that this day should really come so that we can share our problems for problems shared are half solved. The year, 2020 has been very hard in history as Covid-19 pandemic has wreaked havoc across the face of the earth. The virus invaded the world and messages of how to prevent it, were

WHY MALAWI? Why Malawi? A country as small as it is, with poor people but a lot of issues.   I cannot believe as a nation, we are still failing to fight corruption which has destroyed our small beautiful country with all resources to make us wealthy.   Malawi has got fertile soil which if used properly, can make us an exporting country but most land is underutilised because of rampant corruption. We read every day in the newspapers of huge corruption scandals happening in different government departments and ministries but nothing is done to these corrupt people and yet the money embezzled is the tax payer’s money which is meant for the country's development.   This has happened in Malawi, where a government ministry abused tractor funds and only apologised in the newspaper for their actions and yet we are talking of billions of Malawi Kwachas. How can we develop if we are abusing government funds like personal money? No way! It’s impossible. There are so many corruption cases that
