The Kasinthula management called all farmers for a meeting. All Chinangwa based farmers boarded the truck for the meeting at around 9am. The meeting started at 10 sharp. Brian, the general manager started the meeting by welcoming all members present together with Tradition Authority Katunga.

Brian said that he and the entire management decided to call for the meeting because field cane activities are not properly done by farmers because farmers are not serious in tackling the allocated operations to them. He explained that Kasinthula in 2008 has increased the sugar tonnage because there was a proper coordination between management and farmers. He also explained that many labours are dropping the work because of the low salaries Kasinthula Cane Growers pay to the labours. He (Brian) asked members if they can admit the employees’ salary increase. One of the farmers commended the management for calling that meeting that would assist farmers understand their stand on this cane production.

Before lunch hour, members enjoyed bottles of drinks and one packet of biscuit. The meeting proceeded with several questions from farmers. The Tradition Authority concluded the meeting by appealing to all members to work extra hard in canes field for 2009 bumper yield so that Fairtrade Premium fund should also be so high in order to implement more premium funded projects.

Chifundo visit
Chifundo is my sister inlaw who is basing at Dembo, eastern side of Chikwawa district. She is the sister to late Reginna who was once my wife when I just finished the Malawi School Certificate of Education Examinations. When she passed just soon after marriage, I advised her only young sister who depended on her very old grandmother for survival to keep on visiting me and assist her if possible in some circumstances. She came with her young baby called Brian.

It was cool and calm morning when I was cleaning the home compound. My wife asked if my daughter, Ndaona who was by then 4 was to be taken and cerebrate with her at home together with her fellow infants. Ndaona had been with her mother since we divorced following her unfaithful behaviour she deserved to me in 2006, 30th November. Since then I used to visit this daughter of mine and assist her in several ways. I just sent a congratulatory message and good health and happy xmass.

Alfred’s team lost
My friend Alfred is one of the giants team that qualified for the finals on FAM cup that worthy Mk6 million for the winner. He told me to leave for Dyeratu to watch that match TV Malawi following the failure of electricity in Chinangwa village. After taking lunch Henry got me home. I told him to leave and meat Alfred at his house. When we got him at his house he was already alert to leave for Dyeratu watching the match.

“We are late; we could find the match in progress. Let us just listen to the radio” Alfred suggested and agreed just listening to the radio. One of the team was his favourable. Henry and I are supporters to a
certain team that did not qualify for the finals. We just decided to support the opponent to what Alfred was supporting. It was real crucial game that took place at Kamuzu stadium. Alfred’s team scored through its danger man Divason Mlozi at 28 minutes in the first half. Before last whistle for break the opponent scored a very brilliant goal that made Henry and I cheered for that. In the second half no either side scored. They played 30 minutes extra time and ended without scores. It was ended in penalties. Alfred’s team lost and he was about to cry.
