Kondwani Kamiyala: September 2009

http://kondwanikamiyala.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html

Tuesday, September 22, 2009. David Livingstone: the other side. That Dr David Livingstone was a great man goes without saying. How else can a man have his name in monuments in so many countries in Africa, America and Europe? Livingstone’s life is well-documented, in books, journals and he provides fodder for the historian seeking to piece up history. Obviously, the iron smelters were selling their wares, either in exchanging of food or cowrie shells. It goes beyond doubt that Livingstone played a great p...

Kondwani Kamiyala: January 2009

http://kondwanikamiyala.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html

Wednesday, January 14, 2009. Letter to The Patriarch. Dear The Patriarch,. It is not in my habit to pen patriarchs. But this once, I thought I should write one missive for you, The Patriarch. I have been compelled to, looking at recent events in Africa and I hope you will not misconstrue my writing for insolence. If you were not the one in power, you were somewhere close to the top echelons of power, you were the power itself, even when there was somebody else in the main bedroom of the palace. Tsvangira...

Kondwani Kamiyala: February 2009

http://kondwanikamiyala.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html

Friday, February 13, 2009. Dan the sax maestro. After watching the Malawi Army brass band during parades in Lilongwe, little boys used to go back home and form their own ‘bands’. It is easy to imagine the little boys, with drums made from tins, ‘police caps’ from cartons and empty Chibuku packets making up for boots, walking about the streets of their township and doing renditions of such popular songs as. Today, the 33-year-old is in an excellent class of his own, having mastered an instrument not many ...

Kondwani Kamiyala: July 2007

http://kondwanikamiyala.blogspot.com/2007_07_01_archive.html

Thursday, July 5, 2007. Independence and Breaking Literary Laws. Tomorrow, 6th July is Malawi’s Independence Day. On July 6, 1964, we shook off the fetters of British colonialism to become Malawi. We became a sovereign state, we were no longer a colony of Britain. As we celebrate this day this year, I ask myself: Has Independence or the attaiment of Republic status been any meaningful? I still long to be free. I long fellow Malawians to respect the law and uphold the human rights of man. For Mpasu, L.

Kondwani Kamiyala: Moments with Mpasu

http://kondwanikamiyala.blogspot.com/2009/10/moments-with-mpasu.html

Wednesday, October 7, 2009. It was a little after ten when the four of us arrived at the Chichiri Prison to see Sam Mpasu, one of my most revered Malawian writers. When he wrote Nobody’s Friend, Mpasu was arrested by Dr Banda’s agents. His time in prison led to Prisoner 3/75 of Dr Banda, a grueling recount of his time in the inhuman cells of the one party regime. You could be wondering why we had to visit Mpasu. What other way could we seek the blessing of someone close to us in the writing art? On arriv...
