A girl married at 13

I was very terrible to realise that the young girl dropped school and marry at the age of 13. Many people wondered for parents forced and approved the young girl to marry a 29 year old man. The girl was in form 2 at Mthumba Community Day Secondary School.

Thick cloud cover but no rain

Many people grew their various crops in their farms respectively following early November rainfall that influenced more people to grow earlier than other past years. More farmers had hope that they are going to have good rains. It was totally different with farmers’ perception. Crops have had dried up due to the failure of enough rain. The drought have affected almost five district namely Chikwawa, Blantyre, Mwanza, Phalombe and Nsanje districts in Southern region of Malawi.
