  1. Which government says that people should not die of malnutrition before I comment??????

  2. Bear them in mind as you go for round 2 portion of dinner. One of the long standing failures of the world is failing to find a way to achieve this across the planet.

  3. How then do you reconcile giving fuel to Malawi and maize to Zimbabwe, when the majority of Zambian can hardly afford a meal a day? A cheap pot shot from a Minister who is oblivious to what his boss is doing, its irresponsible to make such populist statements that are empty at best. What an inept lot who think they can hoodwink the populace at every turn! The day of reckoning is sure nigh.

    • america gives aid to other countries, including zambia but it has billions and billions of dollars debts with china, what am i saying, we need to have alies in the region such that when it comes to making some decisions during comesa meetings and sadc we are asured of their support of our idea. and not only that there are many benefits of what the government did to help malawi but putting in mind the fact that yes there are a lot who are poor, in our country but we jst need to find a lasting solution that the ten tanks can not even solve

  4. To be a minister or politician you need to be a real thorough bred b a s ta r d.

  5. DON’T DIE FROM MALNUTRITION FIND SOMETHING ELSE LIKE REAL THINGS … AIDS RELATED MALNUTRITION.
