Sommario/riassunto |
|
Labour migration from Malawi to South Africa is a ‘century-old phenomenon'. It dates as far back as the 1880's following the establishment of diamond and gold mines. In the period up to the 1980's, this migration took either formal or informal nature whereas in the post-1990 period it became exclusively informal, popularly known as selufu in Malawi. This book is an attempt to shed light on both forms of migration over time. By using the case of Mzimba, one of the major labour migration districts in Malawi, Perspectives of Labour Migration shows that migration, especially in the post-1990 period, remains a preoccupation of the different categories of both men and women in selected areas in the country. A cross-section of Malawians |

continue to regard emigration to South Africa as a means to an end: a way of fulfilling their heart-felt and life-time goals at household and societal levels. Because of their distinguished and unparalleled determination, these labour migrants continue to ‘flock' to South Africa in the midst of such challenges as xenophobia, crime, arrests and deportations. The book advances the argument that Malawian labour migrants are purposive and rational human beings who are ready to overcome these challenges, at times using the most improbable means, for example, through the use of mankhwala gha mwabi (luck medicine). |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
We have come to the point where we must get corruption out of government. In order for that to happen there has to be repentance, because few of us actually acknowledge the truth. If we are to survive, we must support Israel, and we must get rid of the secret occult influence in our government. This won't be easy, but it is unquestionably essential, and it will be worth it. We must consciously choose to love God; to do what we have to do to oblige him, create his ways here, and love our neighbors as ourselves. That's the whole purpose of being here. |
