The reason Malawi’s 4-3-3 struggled

Malawi Under-23’s 1-0 defeat to Eswatini was not simply a story of missed chances. It was also a tactical battle in which Eswatini’s compact defensive structure repeatedly exposed weaknesses in Malawi’s 4-3-3.From the opening stages, Eswatini used close, man-oriented marking to make Malawi’s build-up uncomfortable. Malawi had possession, but their players were often marked tightly,...

The Bureaucratic Trap: Why Speaker Suleman’s perceived illegal committees may be Malawi’s only hope

When Speaker of Parliament Sameer Suleman bypassed established legislative procedures to unilaterally constitute 12 joint ad hoc committees, the predictable chorus of constitutional purists immediately cried foul. Critics point to Section 56(6) of the Constitution and Standing Orders, rightly noting that committee creation requires collective parliamentary ratification. Yet, as High Court Judge Allan Muhome grants...

The clock is ticking: APM must purge his cabinet and build on his economic victory over Chakwera

As the October deadline looms, marking one full year since his return to power, President Arthur Peter Mutharika stands at a critical crossroads where executive hesitation means political suicide. While the administration has successfully engineered a desperately needed economic turnaround—crushing the disastrous hyperinflation and severe fuel shortages that defined the Chakwera era—this hard-won financial victory...

The Crusader’s Manifest: Why speaker Sameer Suleman must ascend the presidential firmament in 2030

Notwithstanding the successful court stay order against the formulation of parliamentary committees that are meant to investigate the rot and ineptitude in public institutions, it is inevitable that formidable architectural shift is underway. At the epicentre of this democratic renaissance stands the Right Honourable Sameer Suleman, the incumbent Speaker of the National Assembly. With an...

The Cost of Truth in Malawi: Why Speaker Suleman needs a shield, not political warning

Paperwork Over Handcuffs: How Chembezi’s ACB is actively protecting Capital Hill looters

The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) has once again reduced the fight against corruption to a toothless, bureaucratic joke. By merely issuing a restriction order to stop the Ministry of Agriculture from selling off public assets, Acting Director General Gabriel Chembezi—a man already tainted by failed interviews—has chosen paperwork over handcuffs. Freezing the sale of motor vehicles...

The Ultimate Betrayal: Unmasking Malawi’s viral paternity panic

Sensational headlines recently claimed that 80% of Malawian fathers are not the biological parents of their children.

Deliberately misinterpreting or reporting this slop as a national truth is not just irresponsible—it is a direct attack on...

Jeff Bezos’ Washington Post Forced To Rehire Columnist Fired For Quoting Deceased Bigot Charlie Kirk

Jeff Bezos' Washington Post simply isn't what it used to be. During the Trump era Bezos and his lackeys have fired all of the paper’s black columnists, turned the op-ed section into pro-corporatist agitprop, censored cartoonists that criticized Jeff, and generally shifted the paper’s journalistic tone in a more right wing, corporate/autocrat-friendly direction.

We must utterly smash and reject the media’s recent propaganda piece disguised as a "Cabinet assessment."
