During his visit to the secondary school, Nyovest, who traces his roots back to Malawi, spoke about chasing dreams and hard work.

“My grandfather grew up in the village but left Malawi looking for a better life, he had a dream. Everyone has a dream, we have aspirations which determine how far we [are] going to get. You can be whatever you want to be.

“I started my music in my bedroom and wanted to become a big rapper. My friends laughed at me when I said I wanted to become a millionaire and now they look at me as their inspiration,” he shared his story.

Commenting on his trip to Malawi, the rapper expressed his excitement to be in the country and said “it was a special trip”. The 24-year-old indicated it felt amazing to be in Malawi and speak to his people for the first time.

Malawi:- Cowardly DPP’s tyranny meets its match

WE find ourselves not having much to say about what happened Saturday within Malawi’s governing Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) when its vice president was dismissed from the party. Scratch that. We do have something to say. This is not about Vice President Joyce Banda, the person, or that of education minister, Peter, Pres Bingu wa Mutharika’s younger brother. It’s about principle. The Maravi Post‘s position has been about the adulterated process used in giving an unfair advantage to the vice president’s rival; the raping of democracy by those who falsely claim to be fair, open or liberal and progressive—the Democratic Progressive Party. DPP's actions, some of them sexist, attest to the fact that there's nothing democratic and progressive about it. For some time now, it has been established that the party prefers to deal ruthlessly with members it finds disobedient. Apart from Banda, the party also got rid of Khumbo Kachali, the man it sent to suspend three legisla...

Prohibiting Corporal Punishment is Crucial To Ending Violence against Children in South Africa

Today, Sonke Gender Justice in collaboration with Africa Child Policy Forum, The Africa Experts Committee on the Rights and the Welfare of the Child, Child Helpline International, Plan International, Save the Children and UNICEF launched the Action on Violence against Children campaign. This is a multi-country campaign initially focusing on Kenya, Tanzania, Swaziland, Uganda, South Africa, Malawi and Zambia. The number of reported cases of sexual, physical and emotional violence against children in Eastern and Southern Africa is horrifying - and these are just the instances we know about. In South Africa - a country with one of the highest levels of interpersonal violence, including violence against children - prohibiting corporal punishment offers a catalytic opportunity to reduce violence.
