  1. This is typical of Malawi. They call themselves ‘The Warm Heart Of Africa’ and also a so-called ‘God Fearing Nation’. Well, the years I spent there I saw the place to be very disgusting! They are segregated by Tribe- tribalism is rife. Jealousy, theft and immoral activities is all they know.
    They also preach hate for homosexuals claiming there are no gays in the country. This is typical of their ignorance. I met many many married gay men in the country.
    Malawi is a country that should be colonized again for another 100 years as they know nothing about self governance.
    It is also obvious that all they study in their mud hut schools is corruption and jealousy!
    MALAWI IS A WASTED SPACE ON EARTH!
