Yet again we have another PhD holder in the name of Dr. Beston "fearless Samurai" Maonga (Mwana wa pa Monkey Bay pompa). He successfully defended his thesis yesterday at Hiroshima University.

 

The title of his thesis is " Sustainable Land Resources Management and Food Security in Malawi: A Study on Indigenous Farming Practices in Bwadzulu EPA, Mangochi RDP Machinga ADD.

After 45 Minutes of open defence and 30mins closed defence the fearless Samurai emerged as a Dr.

Lets all congratulate him for a job well done. Word of advice is please go back home ma cheque akudikira kuti muzikasaina pa Capital Hill (Is this the best way to utilise his intelligence?)

Banzai!!! Omedetou gozaimashita. Mawoko!! mawoko!!

Alumni,
 
It is with great pleasure that we announce the addition of another PhD stock to the Malawi nation by the name Dr Alfred Ochanza Harold Maluwa who was until today Thurdays 9th Dec 2005, 13.00hrs Norwegian time was Mr Alfred  Maluwa.
 
His thesis title- Genetic selection for growth of a Malawian indigenous tilapia, oreochromis shiranus.
 
My Summary of thesis
 
Three generations of selective breeding have made indigenous tilapia in Malawi grow 15 to 20 per cent better than before. This fish is available to farmers and can become a substantial contributor to fish farmers’ economy and food security.
 
Please join us in congratulating Dr Maluwa for this achievement

I am reporting on an academic achievement at the highest level by yet another daughter of Malawi in a space of days, Dr Margaret Sikwese. Margaret Sikwese has just convinced the examiners an hour ago and she has been awarded a PhD. Congratulations Dr Margaret Mwanjani Ganje Sikwese. This is no mean achievement, especially by Women in Forestry, a profession dominated by men, not only in malawi but elsewhere. You have proved that it is possible and YES WE CAN.
 
Margaret Sikwese (Nee Mhango) is of class 98. She looked at the issue of power in decentralisation. The question was: Has decentralisation lead to empowerment of local communities managing forest resources?
 
I wish you all the best for the future and let the kids be happy that mum is coming home
