LONG winding queues snake around every service station in Malawi as motorists hunt for the scarce commodity. The scenes are reminiscent of Zimbabwe before the formation of the coalition government in 2009 with motorists queuing for what seems like an eternity.
The queues tell of the true story of a Malawi on fire. They tell a story of shortages, corruption, aggressive youth militia, mediocrity and duplicity in the political discourse of the country's leadership. Actually, the whole story reads like a novel authored in Harare.
Political analysts in Malawi wonder how a country with an economist as president could slide into such unprecedented economic turmoil where there are no essential medicines in hospitals, rampant fuel and foreign currency shortages, and virtually no learning and teaching materials in public schools.
