Kamuzu Banda, Malawi's founding president, spent only 90 days in the palace which took 20 years to build and cost $100m.

And Malawi has a GDP of what?

This is why so much aid to Africa is a waste of time while people like this are in power.

Can you imagine how difficult it must be for our and other governments to deal with these types of people?

Once upon we could simply take them over. Enfield 1, Spear 0. Now it's a bit trickier. Best avoided.

I wonder how many people who applaud 'debt cancellation' realise their tax bill will be higher as a result? Oh yes, every little costs.

Ghosts - some taking the form of rodents - have forced the president of Malawi to move out of his state mansion....... Christian clergy have been asked to help exorcise the "evil spirits" there.

There yer go.....not my fault.....evil spirits.....
