Fearless and boldness are some of the lion’s characteristics. He was outspoken though rude at times, he was never a push over. My President, may you continue to rest peacefully. His successors have tried to erase his legacy but they can’t and I don’t care what anybody says about him, he was the best and I doubt if we would ever see another one like him. May your soul keep resting peacefully my President. You are greatly missed
It was so easy to decipher even back then that the guy was an intolerant despot! Tragically him being one of the few educated Africans in Nyasaland his people tragically entrusted their future in his leadership.
These are among the worst dictators - not a psychotic regime of a man with no sense, but intellectual leaders who have the power and knowledge to make their countries better yet end up doing this
In life you can not need a leader more than this great man, in all fairness this man was great, it will take Malawi another 30 years to come to its senses.
You people are lying and I think you are not Malawian that's why you are saying that. Kamuzu was a bad president people suffered alot because of his dictatorship. Now Malawi is better because of the way we live but of course not because of the government that is ruling now.
I'm sure all the students of Kamuzu Academy disagree with you. When he was around the country was stable, there was hardly any crime and the Kwacha was 3 to the pound! What is it now?
I am the product of Kamuzu Academy. I am enjoying the fruits of that education.Aaron Gadama was our chairman of the Board of governors. He was murdered in cold blood by Kamuzu and his Henchmen. As a Christian ,nothing on this planet is more important than human life.I rest my case
When I visited malawi in the 90s the country was stabled, for 1.00 US dollar waa 4 kwacha..the people were modest, self respected, and of course farming waa a way to self sustain urself. .wow I miss the malawi then..the people wanted to be like the western world which will never happen. .I hear there r many crimes, fraud, and migration..idc what peo pl e say, kamuzu sustained malawi, for the good.
Temper for no good reason. Some Malawians still think this guy was intelligent yet couldn’t stand public scrutiny.... resorting to his well documented temper tantrums. Sounded drunk always 🙄
Let Malawians judge for themselves. You are biased Brother Caleb. FYI: Apart from the atrocities committed under the one party rule, the majority of Malawians (us) attest to what a great leader he was, and this not just as some history- but even in comparison with other presidents post independence. Kamuzu was a leader, yet with weaknesses too. Albeit, the love he had for Malawi cannot be overlooked.
stephen rodgers - when you make allegations, you must back it up with evidence. You accuse me of bias... how so? Do you understand what ‘to be biased’ means? He was a great leader... what is your definition of “great leader”? Dictatorial leadership where you suppress civil liberties and freedom of expression? It’s funny you say he was great and then admit he committed atrocities...🙄. Dude, there’s a reason why people don’t say Hitler was great, ok? But then again, that is a red herring given that my issue had to do with his demeanour when it came to public scrutiny. The man was inept and often appear to throw tempter tantrums at the most basic line of questioning-as evident in this video clip. If he really was a lion why did he appear to freak out at reporters instead of acting like Malcom X,?
@@brothercaleb I believe people know what is biased and what is a great leader no need to use dictionary to explain simple words I believe everyone has his or her understanding. if you understand African politics in the 1960s to 1990s you will understand why people say he was the great Ngwazi (Lion) that took out the British Empire without a bullet. Ngwazi was not perfect but was better than most African leaders of his time. the British reporters kept asking him stupid questions like how will Malawi survive economically? that is why He gave them those rude responses. He did great for his country which the British thought it will collapse after independence. those years of 1960s to 1990s for you to be an African leader you had to be tough I do not blame him what is Important He did good for Malawi. Compering Malcolm X and Ngwazi does not make sense Malcolm X was never a president of any country and he died before he reached his objectives unlike Ngwazi did a lot of work for his country and he reached his objectives. if you compare an African leader looking at American or European standards of a great leader then you are lost.
@@gideonmoseri4850 First of all you are all over the place talking about different issues and conflating one with another. Anyhow, let me try to make an address point by point. Now let me start by saying that where ideas clash there’s bound to be misunderstanding, and it is a good idea to be clear with what one is trying to say. And as such it’s important-where necessary-to get specific words clearly defined. Your interpretation of “biased” or “great leader” might not be the same as mine. But this doesn’t have to be so as words-especially in English-have specific meaning when looked at in context. Therefore we need to get off our prior inclinations (or dare I say “biases”) and look at issues objectively. That’s where definitions play a crucial role. It’s funny how start out your comments by suggesting that “everyone knows what bias and great leader means” and in the same sentence say “everyone has his or her understanding”. I fail to understand why a seemingly intelligent person would trip up at the first attempt of making an argument. If everyone has “his or her understanding” it follows that each has their own personal view of what those words mean. If so then, how would we even be able to communicate? This pretty much underscores my point on being clear about what we say and how we say things. Having a standard of the meaning of words is vitally important-enter the dictionary. Clearly whoever invented the dictionary sought to address this problem. “people know what bias and what great leader is no need to use dictionary to explain simple words”. Simple, huh? why are we having this conversation then? You clearly have a different understanding of “great leadership” from me. I ask you, what makes a great leader? What’s your definition of “great leadership”? About malcom x and Kamuzu comparison: your first instinct was to point out that they’re incomparable as Kamuzu was president and Malcolm x wasn’t. This is where you gravely missed the point…. Let me ask you a question: does one need to be a president to be called a leader? Or are ALL leaders presidents? Was MartinLuther King a leader? You suggested Kamuzu was better than most of his contemporaries-by what metric did you arrive at this conclusion? “if you understand African politics of 1960s and 1990s you will understand why people say he was great ngwazi (lion) that took out the British empire without a bullet”. First of all, I think we need to understand what the term “empire” means. What’s your understanding of the word empire? For you to suggest that Kamuzu took it down is a big big stretch. There’s simply no record to suggest Kamuzu took down The greatest empire the world has ever seen. This sentiment alone suggests that you’re not clued up on African history let alone history of the British empire. You say “the reporters kept on asking him stupid questions like ‘how will Malawi survive economically’”. Dude, of all your arguments this is by far the most ignorant of them all. Tell me how asking a leader of a country about economics, is stupidity? If you think economics is a stupid subject then I suggest to look at any great nation that has risen throughout history, economics was at the heart of it. I’d argue that if any country is to progress it will be through economics. Just look at China (enough said). You suggested “he (Banda) did great for his country which the British thought it will collapse after independence …”. What “great things”? You call Kamuzu “tough” how so? I see a narcissist-declaring himself a life president and having people worship him. A coward-for being evasive when faced with tough questions about how he plans to run his country. I think anyone who think economic questions are stupid is stupid. “If you compare an African leader looking at American or European standards of a great leader then you are lost”. By what “standards” do you make your comparisons? How is one lost by using universally accepted standards? Nelson Mandela is globally considered a great leader. by what standard did the people of the world reached this understanding? Is the world lost by recognising him as such?
@@brothercaleb LOL to be honest I did not have time to read this pointless essay that you wrote because I assume You just wrote crab/shit however I can see you don't know anything about Africa and you wish to. Let Africans tell you the real story of Africa Ngwazi was a best leader in Africa whether you like it or not none of those people you mentioned are better than him.
You have to look around. You will see many killers still living. Expose those onse, unlike wasting your time with a dead old man. He was great. We look forward to receiving another true leader like him. He was from God Almighty. Open your eyes and see the killers!!!!
