Heather on Personal Finance

Meanwhile, in Lazarus Chakwera’s Malawi, a US$100,000 bridge collapsed the moment the very first car tried to cross; a perfect snapshot of Chakwera’s incompetence laid bare. 🤣🤣🤣 The Kamilangombe Bridge in Nthalire, Chitipa, gave way on Saturday when a Land Cruiser attempted to cross. That Land Cruiser was the very first vehicle to use the bridge. This is the tragedy of Africa. Surely we cannot blame colonialism for this. It is sheer incompetence coupled with corruption, the same disease we see in Zimbabwe. Bad leadership continues to make Africa a laughing stock! Malawians go to the polls on Saturday to elect a new president. The frontrunners are 85-year-old former president Peter Mutharika and the inept Lazarus Chakwera. Malawi finds itself between a rock and a hard place.

I will go further and say Zimbabwe should have built more Polytechnics & Vocational Colleges instead of the universities that are teaching nothing but loads of theory! I often laugh at journalists who boast about going to university; The best journalists didn’t study journalism!
