In my views I think Cecilia is owing Malawians alot of secrets and explanations than this well edited interview of her one side

Vera Chirwa has a different view on this one.

Malawi needs a Truth and reconciliation tribunal to put to bare Malawi"s true history. Otherwise We will continue to gloss and glamorize the indefensible. #MalawiLostYears

[@INDEEGOME]

Yes this is what is needed as South Africa has had its own. And also, Malawi’s Lost History is a gem of a book that brings enlightenment but can also be dark. To read how people were killed on the run in Zambia, Zimbabwe and other places here on Nyasa soil. It’s sad. Soooo sad.

[@drm6811]

Can we have an hour of an interview with her? It's amazing. My farther divorced my mum to marry a nurse lady thinking that all women nurses were like her . I wish her well

[@chelseajackson3200]

You mean your father was copying Kamuzu or Kadzamirayo??

[@PLBoogie]

Your father was delusional. Banda was and is known as the worst dictator to ever rule an African country and arguably the world.

[@naomimuyangwa5573]

She was part of the atrocious Kamuzu regime. Not much love for her. When they grow old they want sympathy from the very people that they victimized. People have not forgotten. How can she sit there and talk about what she saw from her high chair?.Malawian people were afraid to speak up and they didn’t even have modern amenities such as tv etc until after the demise of Kamuzu.

Well spoken,I remember Banda ordered every tribe to go back where they come from. It was mayhem by then. She didn't say anything to stop it, and she was an instigate for that.

This woman is talking about the advantages of one rule government but never spoke about the disadvantages of one rule government. A lot of people died during her time with Banda. A lot went in exiles because of the regime she was in. Banda used to listen to her opinion. We never saw her wearing mini skirts, her and her uncle John miss lead Banda

[@johnmwase676]

I am impressed with the interview and I learned alot from this woman.

[@naomimuyangwa5573]

Most of Kamuzu’s political enemies were in Zambia. I mean those who were lucky enough to escape being fed to crocodiles. As his mistress, she participated in the oppressive activities of the ruthless dictator.

[@masulambewe9088]

Kamuzu’s excesses should not be whitewashed. He was a ruthless dictator who killed many of his opponents.

[@Napolean45]

@@masulambewe9088 very true

[@desmondbritto5061]

You talk about kamuzu wanted dialogue with all. What about his dialogue with the people who opposed him? He was a dictator for so many years & a bit of a tyrant. There was no free speech. If you only half disagreed with him you would be deported or thrown into jail or also fed to the crocs. He was well educated but sadly power got the better of him. Cecilia you should have put him right but I guess you were frightened as you might have been the crocs dinner. Correct me if I'm wrong. Please elaborate about feeding people to the crocs & don't say you were not aware of such things as you come across as a good person. This is your chance to come clean!!!! One thing good about Kamuzu was I think he never let his people starve. What about the mass deportations of the Asians in the 70s. They were given 3 days to leave without a fair trial. Let's see what a big person you are in your reply or will you just ignore. You owe this to the people who he did injustice to.

[@naomimuyangwa5573]

Well stated.Truth be told, this woman should not be talking as if Kamuzu was a saint. What’s wrong with the young generation who just swallow anything this woman spews?
