    Is she any less the president for courtesying when greeting a man according to her culture. Worry when she gives up an inch of land or sovereignty to Tanzania.

        I hear you! There are many ways to show respect. Why do you have to kneel down before someone? Some people are just as backward as their culture.

    Body language tells a lot of a person you have seen for the first time. In the past presidents’s children were taught how to talk, how to walk, how to sit and how to chew food. That was observed in KK’s children and Grey Zulu but of late presidents children ma-yoz and known for bad language makamaka, late Castro (mhsrip).
    HOWEVER, kneeling to your fellow president shows some stupidity at highest level. Imagine Sata kneeling down for Mabuto Seseko Wazambamba. Mabuto can take advantage of that grab land from you.
    Body language tells a lot and must show some authority if you’re a leader. Forget ifyatambi nagula itambi ni ntambi apa pena awee.

        Iyoo naufwa but key factor is her status as a president regardless of gender fimofimo. Remember Mpombo and Muliata used to kneel down to the late prezdo Mwanawasa and they haversted showes of insults form many zedians. Apa icilipo nibu prezdo kneeling to your fellow presidents. Forget gender.

    The reason why Joyce Banda knelt is too simple,there is a boarder dispute between Malawi and Tanzania where Tanzania is claiming ownership of part of Lake Malawi. So the kneeling down of Malawian President was somehow pleading in disguise so that those squabbles may end amicably.

      My thoughts exactly. Also that Joyce is not a combatant/fighter.

    Take it from me friends and neighbors, that is NOT H.E. Joyce Banda, that picture is an old picture (see the Mutharika interim Malawi flag)of Etta Banda, another junior political figure in Malawi (not related). this picture is making the rounds but not accurate. Kikwete is seated with the then minister of defense in Malawi, Sidik mia….please note this editors as the discussion continues.

      It’s typical for tumfweko to twist stories… most of their stories are stolen from other forums anyway. Like the one bout a woman who supposedly dropped from the sky in Solwezi… it was from nigeria!

    I would not be comfortable at all to see my resident kneeling to another.
    She is affirming a position of subservience to the other nation.

    I wouldn’t trust her to oppose anything they said. How can she? It’s not culturally right!

    I’d like nothing more than for African men and women to be on an equal footing. As the generations pass, there will be a cultural evolution but I doubt I will live to see the day an African man kneels for his wife while serving her food.

    1. Man and Woman can and shall never be equal jst like a first born child can never be equal to the second born child.
    2. Just as the genitalia is different so as we culturally, physically and sexually.
    3. It is not man’s fault that anyone is born woman it was designed that way because God never intended man to be equal to woman. Many have tried to twist God’s arm and have always faild. So it might hurt you only if you ve failed to accept who you are. United Nations Education shall come to pass but jehovah will always be the same so shall his design. Its like trying to change the possition of buttocks you know.
