WHO ARE WE? There are few questions more dangerous, more urgent, and more necessary than this

By Mota Moto: An African warrior (Image: Facebook) We are the children of broken homesteads, the grandchildren of the dispossessed, the inheritors of unfinished wars. Our ancestors walked through fire, and many were consumed by it, so that a sliver of freedom could find its way to us. The path we walk was paved with unimaginable sacrifices. The blood of martyrs, the tears of mothers and starving children, the broken backs of workers, the poor, and the silent hopes of the oppressed have laid this road.

While addressing an audience at the “People over politics” lecture in Lilongwe on April 12, Ndlozi made a pointed yet unnamed reference to Bushiri that quickly sent shockwaves across social media and into the corridors of both religious and political power. “There is someone in this country who is wanted in South Africa,” Ndlozi said to applause. “Whether you are a pastor or a politician, you don’t have the right to steal from the poor-not in the name of God, not in the name of our people.” ...
