  Africans are known for their peaceful and humane nature, which is why Malawi is often referred to as "the warm heart of Africa" due to its warm welcome to visitors.

We will always remember him for the impact he left on different writers' lives and on Malawian literature. As a regular columnist in the nation newspaper, he published 17 books in the fields of history, sociology, and economics. Truly, he will always be remembered. Some of his books, like "Diniwe in Dreamland," "The History of Malawi," and "From Nguni to Ngoni," are great Malawian treasures. As writers, we are lobbying the government to honor him by na
