On the way to Blantyre (school) about 15 kilometers from the depot, I noticed that the man who sat ahead my chair on AXA bus was totally drunk. On my chair I was just scanning that day’s newspaper stretched my legs just below his sit. The man vomited directly on my shoes. His whole pair of trousers was dirty with those beer vomits. I was worried because I smelled beer as if I was the one taking that beer.

My friend’s aunt passed after 15 years illness. A lot of people gathered at the ceremony. I proceeded to the funeral when I knocked off at 2 pm.
Bicycle forgotten
One of the Kasinthula Cane Growers irrigation supervisors forgot his bicycle. He left his bicycle beside a certain garden away from cane fields. The garden owner found that bicycle and looking forward for the owner to pick it but about 5 hours without seeing anybody. The garden owner referred that bicycle to Mvula village headman. It was not yet known why he forgot that bicycle.
Thousands of people from surrounding villages gathered to watch what the traditional doctor promised to reveal and make rainfall. The doctor was hired by Nedi village headman about 4kilometers away from Chinangwa. It was around 3 pm when he used his stick as a living creature guiding him to a 2 kilometer neighboring village to seize a certain woman’s key. When he entered in that woman’s house, he took almost 10 minutes and it was heard that he collapsed inside that house. His assistants entered to lift him out for fresh air. He took almost an hour.
Before taking bath and breakfast, I went to my garden to see if there was no animal damage. Henry came home but he was told that I was not around. He followed me at the garden but we did not meet for I used the other path.
Henry and I took the breakfast at home. It was warm milk and pumpkins. I preferred the breakfast. Henry too admired taking milk and boiled pumpkins.
On the way to the shop while showering at 5:30 am, my wife asked me informed me that there was no washing soap for she prepared to wash some clothes at the bore hole. I bought two tablets and biscuits for my children Ndaona and Kafaukoma Junior.
Young brother on the post
Kasinthula Cane Grower’s driver (L.Gogwe) went on pension only Peter remained. At working hours, my young brother, Biece drove the vehicle to Chikwawa Boma with HR and the secretary. It was nice indeed that he had been struggling for the work but no access to employment. He underwent driving school some three years ago and awarded the driving license. He is going to enjoy his work as he had been looking for it.
Sold canes seized
The cholera epidemic has hit most areas in Chikwawa district. Death cases have already occurred. The Malawi government under the ministry of health has set some measures to prevent and control this problem. I left for Nchalo at lunch hour. After my business I saw many people especially youths flocking to a place where some people were selling sugar canes. The nearest hospital’s HR ordered those people so take freely those sold canes in order to abolish the cane selling that was found out as one way of attributing cholera in Shire Valley. The hospital’s medical workers advised people to stop buying locally prepared foods including sugar canes.
Magicians stop rainfall
When I was at the work at 2 pm, I heard that village headman Nedi did consult a traditional doctor to reveal the suggested people within the village who are barring rain to fall magically. The ceremony began at 3 pm. Thousands of people from various surrounding villages gathered to witness what would go on. Eye witness said that two men and two women accepted that they have their magic equipments with which they stop rainfall when clouds got thick as if it is about to rain. The suspected magicians brought their equipments on presence of the audience
I arrived at the work just soon after taking boiled pumpkins which I bought at Thabwa while from school. I enjoyed the breakfast as well my family. Charles told me that there was a trip to Blantyre to meet the Illovo Marketing Manager to reconcile the Fairtrade flow of goods. Charles and I got the manager at Limbe Illovo offices at 11am. He asked us to wait just for thirty minutes for he had something to do. When we got back he welcomed us and started the reconciliation and was successful because we agreed some potential issues to contact each other before sending invoices to the Kasinthula sugar on Fairtrade deal.
Lunch at Alibaba
We had Kasinthula HR on the way to Blantyre who had his own business to do. After reconciliations he directed us (4) to have lunch at a controversial restaurant. It was nice meal that I enjoyed. I preferred chicken and chips. Inside Alibaba’s I met a former school mate who was also taking lunch in there. The driver ferried me home at 7 pm.
It was cloudy morning and everybody expected to receive rain. I took maize flour porridge with brown sugar added. I left for Blantyre too to attend classes. We knocked off at 12:20 noon. I was so impressed with the way the Sociology lecture presented and explained about the importance of learning sociology and Project management in accomplishing and having quality and improved projects on a certain allocated program. It was raining when I boarded the bus back to Chikwawa from Blantyre.
A ten year old boy was arrested following his father influence. The father was one day drunk. He slept under the veranda of his first house. The man is a polygamous with three wives and about 11 children. On this day when he woke up early morning around 4, he realized that his half of his total money he had
was stolen. He did not do otherwise but heavily beating his son as the first accused one. The boy did not admit that accusation even though he had some bruises on his body. His father ordered the Chikwawa police officers to arrest him. It was sad because the young boy is still in custody besides going to school. It is psychologically believed that the boy would be mentally disturbed and adapting immoral socialization following his arrest.
Early arrival
I woke up at 4 am to take bath and later breakfast in order to board the morning bus traveling to Blantyre attending classes. I was the first one to reach the school especially in our class. My fellow classmates got me studying Community Empowerment module.
The man who left home, children and wife for anonymous was back late in the afternoon. He left home two months ago without any excuse. His wife claimed that the man was hidden somewhere with a certain woman who too left the village for anonymous leaving children with her mother inlaw on the very same day the man left. The wife was very happy when she welcomed that exile husband.
