Dr. Malunga will also be featured in the next issue of Unity First/Forbes Diversity News.
A sought-after pioneer and a thought leader, he has successfully introduced the value of indigenous proverbial principles to the business class, as well as for achieving personal growth and development.
African proverbs are used to illustrate ideas, reinforce arguments and deliver messages of inspiration, consolation, celebration and advice. They are an integral part of African culture, in wide use today and very much part of everyday speech.
African Proverb:
“It is not money that builds a house. It is wisdom.”
With the Malawian community still reeling from the Cashgate blow, and in the midst of a recent visit made by Liberian President, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, to participate in a press conference with Banda, Sirleaf's visit to Malawi was perceived as in line with African solidarity. In one social commentary posted with an article which announced Sirleaf's arrival to Malawi, it stated… "Welcome to Malawi, Madam President. The country you have landed your feet has never experienced civil wars as is the case with your country. One thing you will learn from us is that we are not war loving people. Secondly, this is your last term in office. Learn from the host matrix of Cashgate lest you leave the office poorer. Enjoy the warm heart of Malawi, the Cashgate country." (Malawi Voice).
According to a recent report in Malawi Democrat, “Over K90 billion that is believed to have been siphoned off from treasury over the past two months…”
With the massive looting of state funds now famously known as the Cashgate scandal, according to Malawi’s former Economic Planning and Development Minister, Goodall Gondwe, dubbed the community’s economics sage, was recently featured being of the opinion claiming Cashgate was Banda's invention…

Dr. Malunga is also the author behind an earlier release, Oblivion or Utopia: the Prospects for Africa, which explains most of the problems on the continent stem from the fact that, although the continent may be politically independent, it is not economically independent. Efforts to reverse the continent's continuing underdevelopment have failed to-date, including trillions of dollars in aid, because they have not been consciously aimed at enabling Africa to turn its vast natural resources into wealth. The only known way of ensuring economic independence.
Of further relative interest, Dr. Malunga can be seen making an earlier appearance as part of an interview broadcast:
