@onjezani Thank you too for sponsoring the event. Your love for uplifting Malawian literature is something extraordinary

[Foster Benjamin @fobenjamin]

@onjezani Jomo is a story of an unlikey candidate turning things around. He's proving his naysayers wrong, telling it in their face that education is no yardstick to work magic. He's a true hero

[Onjezani Kenani @onjezani]

We are keeping track. So far, Mayor Jomo Osman:

1) has tackled and continues to tackle the problem of violence by street kids;
2) has and continues to evict vendors from selling their products on road pavements in the heart of town, where they are not supposed to be;
3) is addressing the high rate of accidents caused by motorbike taxis; and
4) has, and continues to champion the cleaning up of filth in many parts of Blantyre city.

Tangible results.

There's still more work to be done, but we see where we're coming from and where we're going.

Keep running, son of the soil.

@USEmbassyLLW This is a very good initiative considering that there's a knowledge gap in crafting excellent resumes. I wish I could attend and I hope that the Embassy will one day invite me to be part of the participants, God willing.

@ABC7 Too bad

@mcbrams A true legend

[Jack McBrams @mcbrams]

Since I first voted in 1999, my village has always looked to me for guidance on the best candidate—trusting my analysis and judgment. But for the first time in 25 years, as I prepare to visit this weekend, I find myself without an answer. I simply don’t know what to tell them.

[Foster Benjamin @fobenjamin]

@mcbrams The sea, the rock, and the hard place.

@brentyeaaa Hey man

[Brent H Jones @brentyeaaa]

If you’re a writer who’s looking to connect with more writers and readers, say “hey” here.

[Jack McBrams @mcbrams]

There will be only one Lucius Banda. He was a generational musician. And that's a fact. My tribute to my friend and brother in today's @NationOnlineMw

[Foster Benjamin @fobenjamin]

@LiteraturReview I hope there’s a literary silver lining across the writing skies and this will likely help the sinking ship back on its writing feet, thanks to both budding and veteran writers like Stanley. I won’t be taken by surprise to see one writer from Malawi bagging a Caine Prize home!

[Foster Benjamin @fobenjamin]

And it won’t be you!

[Jack McBrams @mcbrams]

There's a McBrams on the @nyasabigbullets team sheet. And it's not me.
