Malawi have beaten Algeria 3-0 in their opening match in the Africa Cup of Nations. Everyone is well chuffed. Malawi is the lowest ranked team in the tournament. The match finished about rush hour on Monday and the roads went mental. People were driving around tooting their horns and holding two fingers out their window, then 3, then everyone had a massive party!
Workmen stopped filling in the potholes and did a little dance in the street, kids were rolling around in the dust and I even saw one guy eating a mango and dancing in his pants on the big roundabout near Limbe!
Go on the flames!
Good to have the mood picked up for a day or two. Rains haven't arrived properly and people are worried. Some are starting to pull up the corn in the hope the rains will come and they will be able to start again. Big trouble coming, or, as Phiri would say, 'mavuto quambiri'.
I heard that China fired some chemicals into the sky and made it snow - could we get that for rain here?
