I shed a tear today during the lowering of Mutharika's remains into his grave.
I shed a tear not for love for him nor sorrow.
I shed a tear in what a shame we are as a nation.
When one can amass such wealth, build a granite graveyard,
And be buried in such opulence in a borrowed casket, while pall bearers have been fed borrowed food. How do you get buried in such a mausoleum, driven on borrowed fuel?
Motlanthe must have been dumb stuck at the irony of the opulence of Mutharika's resting place, and compare it with the need to help buy his casket and transport his remains.
Guebuzza must have thought it was misjudgment to donate 10 cows to a funeral of someone whose very farm he was being buried has thousands of beef cattle; he must have thought it was agrave mistake to donate tinned fish when right behind the mourning place there is a dam full of exotic fish for fishing sport.
The farm, the house, the mausoleum does not reflect our impoverished nation, rather its a joke to the eyes of the very donors whom we are asking to help us host a summit. They might as well say go sell your cows, your granite, your opulence and host the summit at your mausoleum.
I shed a tear for my country becuase we dont even seem to see the stupidity in the whole thing.
