Visiting my mother

I was back at school. I left Chikwawa for Blantyre at 7am and arrived 8:20am. I found my fellow students already at the school but not learning. The Sociology lecturer was getting in at 8:45am. We had lunch break and continued with noon classes at 1:30pm. Before knocking off, I had photocopies of some modules. We knocked off at 3pm.

Relish shortage. When I came from school (Blantyre), I proceeded to visit my mother. At mum’s residence, family members were taking supper. There was run short of relish because there were visitors from Ndakwera. Those were mum’s sister and her elder daughter together with her 4yr old twins. I asked them to take their nsima (food) for my home. My wife provided them with relish.

School day

I woke up at around 5am, fetching firewood to warm water. When I was taking bath, my wife was preparing breakfast. After breakfast, I left for Dyeratu depot to board minibus. I arrived school compass at eight sharp. At 8:20 am, the Community Empowerment lecturer got in. he distributed handouts to the whole class. We then discussed factors contributing to Social Sustaining Improved Living Standards. We had lunch break. The Community Health lecturer had afternoon classes. We knocked off at 4:50pm.

Man arrested for defiling

It was very sad when the three year infant girl. After discovered that she was defiled, her grandmother referred the issue to police and later to the hospital for medication. The one responsible was yet not known. The police later discovered that the grandfather to the defiled one was responsible. The police arrested him for charges. The defiling cases are increasing in many parts of Malawi even though government and other nongovernmental organizations enforce hard punishment to the victims. HIV/AIDS is affecting some innocent youths through this malpractice. Hard punishments should be enforced to the offenders.

Man bullies his wife

When I got home from the work, I heard a woman crying at a hundred meter distance from my home. “Can you switch off the radio? I asked my wife. When the radio was off, we heard other people rescuing the woman. It was then noted that the wife was at a certain house watching some movie forgetting preparing food for the family. The wife fled to rest at her son’s house just within the village. The village headman reprimanded the husband for bulling his wife. “It is strange hat since most of us born without watching movies. For electricity, access was just as news or even dreamt about it. Let women or all people of any age to experience what they were lacking” said the village headman.
