Parliamentary Chambers



Two students and I went to a Parliamentary Committee to talk about student welfare and the shortages that lead to hunger, prostitution, etc. Afterwards we were given a tour of the Chamber.


One very happy student after the meeting.

There was nowhere else to go it seems. Just had to be done.

Frictionless borders


On the left is Malawi's M1 but most of the rest is Mozambique. (Actually, Google Maps thinks the M1 is also in Mozambique and sends unwitting travellers on a long diversion to avoid the border!)


The gap is only 10m in places and here are my driver and two students entering Mozambique without passports. In places the border runs through villages, fields, football fields and even churches and mosques. Some have an entrance in Malawi and the body of the building in Mozambique.

Classroom repair



The screen must have broken so someone turned it upside down and tied it up to the casing.



Unfortunately, they tied it up with the cable that connects the ceiling projector to the laptop. Maybe all is not lost, that connector always was dodgy. However, when power goes off, we can no longer get at the blackboard for plan B! 
Students call lectures without projection, "a cappella"
