Publisher's Synopsis
A PLAY DEPICTING THE LIFE AND TIMES OF KAMUZU BANDA OF MALAWI, AND THREE OTHER TOP QUALITY PLAYS. KAMUZU BANDA - Life and times of freedom fighter and first President for Malawi. MISSION TO NYANJANIA - A sci-fi play portraying consequences of bad governance by greedy and selfish politicians. STOP THE FIRE - Intriguing, nail-biting play, spewing hard-hitting and naked reality on HIV. LOVE AND TEARS - Adventurous cultural travail with nerve-wracking reversals. From Ngoni and Tonga war at Lwanatonga to the exceptional husband care of Yao women from Mpondasi in Mangochi. Dr Hastings Kamuzu Banda said ''During my term of office, I selflessly dedicated myself to the good cause of Mother Malawi; but if within the process, those who worked in my government or through false pretence in my name or indeed unknowingly by me, pain and suffering was caused to anybody in this country in the name of nationhood, I offer my sincere apologies. I also appeal for a spirit of reconciliation and forgiveness amongst us all.' Kamuzu Banda is an epic play showing Kamuzu's return to Nyasaland, his subsequent imprisonment, his Gweru prison experience, the fall of the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland, the 1964 cabinet crisis, the 1971 MCP convention, the rise of dictatorship, the 1983 Mwanza murders, the fall of dictatorship, the landmark achievements in areas of education and agriculture and the exceptional foresight of Kamuzu's leadership.
