The build-up to London Olympic Games is gaining momentum with the BBC Radio Scotland featuring Frank Chipasula in The Written Word programme, which is broadcasting poems from participating countries.
Â
To capture the Malawi spirit ahead of the July event, the radio on Saturday recited the US-based former exile’s The Rain Storm.
Read by Nyasa Gurus UK-based member Brave Mnyayi, the poem captures a stormy scene in which one visualises a trek up the Zomba Mountain.
The poem goes in part: Then the road/ Braving the rain/ Slithered between the mountains/Leaving us to marvel and to muse/Where the thin tarmac was leading us.
“The rain’s ability to cleanse is keenly felt in this poem for Malawi by Frank Chipasula,” said the BBC.
A continuation of ancient Greek tradition, the hyped Olympics games in London will run until August this year.
