Obviously a couple of kapenta/bonya buckets for the survivors who are in camps. Its a briefing [meeting for GIVING information], a thing that can be done virtually or in writing for a prudent man but alas this is Malawi. Rationality is rare!

Is there something that is so important about the situation that he can’t tell the nation but only privy to the former president’s? https://t.co/DDT8jTfpeE
