New Zealand nods to Joyce Banda’s livestock programme

New Zealand Government has expressed interest in President Dr. Joyce Banda’s A Cow – A Family Project and has since pledged to collaborate with Malawi Government in expanding the initiative.
New Zealand High Commissioner to Malawi, Richard Mann, made the pledge on Thursday in Lilongwe after presenting Letters of Credence to President Dr. Joyce Banda at Kamuzu Palace.
Mann, who was the last to present Letters after four other envoys, told journalists that his country, which prides in dairy livestock production, finds the initiative worthwhile and that his government would do everything possible to assist.

“We have discussed a number of issues among them President Banda’s A Cow – A Family Project,” said Mann. “We are going to have further collaboration between the government of Malawi and New Zealand to see what we can do to support the program.”
Mann added that he had also discussed with President Banda other issues including how the two countries could strengthen their education systems and that he hoped to see the bilateral relations between the countries strengthened.
Earlier in the day, four more envoys from Algeria, Cyprus, Saharawi Arab and Fiji presented their Letters to President Banda.
The New Fiji Ambassador to Malawi, Berniamino Salacakau, said while his country, a collection of over 300 islands north of Australia, was too far away for trade corporation with Malawi, the two countries could engage each other in technical and cultural cooperation.
“Fiji is a small country with a population of 900,000 with sugar and tourism as our major economic pillars. Geographically it would not be possible for us to have trade ties because we have competitors in between with whom it could be cheaper to trade.
“But we could have cultural and technical cooperation between us and Malawi, being a sugar producing country, we could share technological advantages.”
The other new ambassadors to Malawi are Patros Nacouzis from Cyprus, Mohamed Lamine Laabas from Algeria and Mohamed Yahia from Saharawi Arab.
All the five envoys will be operating from outside, with the most of them based in Pretoria, South Africa.
On Tuesday, President Banda also received Letters of Credence from four envoys from Seychelles, Poland, Denmark and Mauritius.

KAYA MAWA GRILLED CHAMBO BY ANJIMILE MTILA OPONYO

"Don’t complicate cooking the fish. Melt a knob of butter in a pan over medium heat. Add some finely chopped garlic and lay in the fish skin side down. Add a splash of lemon juice and season. Grill to just before the fish starts to flake. If you want a sauce to go with the fish, best to have either something a little Asian like this Sweet Coconut and Soy Sauce.”

Ingredients:

• 1 oz. olive oil
• 1 tsp. turmeric
• 1 tsp. ground ginger
• 4 tsp. sugar
• Small handful of raisins
• 8 oz. coconut milk
• 1 Tbsp. soy sauce
• Lemon juice

Method:

Add olive oil to a saucepan. Then add turmeric, ginger, sugar and raisins. Put on a low heat to dissolve the sugar and infuse the spices. Remove from the heat, add coconut milk and whisk rapidly. Add a tablespoon of soy sauce and a dash of lemon juice. If the sauce seems a little thin, thicken with a little roux.

ANJIMILE MTILA OPONYO’S FONIO SALAD

Ingredients

• 1-cup fonio
• 1 tsp. salt dissolved in 1/4 cup water
• Juice of 2 lemons
• ½ tsp. freshly-ground black pepper
• 1 c. peanut or canola oil
• 1 bunch parsley, finely chopped
• 1 bunch mint, finely chopped
• 1 cucumber, peeled and diced
• 2 plum tomatoes, diced

Method

Wash the fonio with cold running water and drain well. Place the fonio in the top of a steamer lined with cheesecloth. Set over simmering water, cover, and steam the fonio, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat, and fluff with a fork. Drizzle with salted water and steam again until the grains are tender. (Alternately, fonio can be prepared in a microwave by adding enough water to cover in a bowl and cooking until tender, 6-8 minutes.) In a small mixing bowl, combine the lemon juice with the salt and pepper and whisk to dissolve. Slowly pour in the olive oil still whisking to emulsify. Place the cooked fonio in a large bowl and add parsley, mint, cucumber and tomatoes. Pour enough dressing over the fonio mixture to coat the grains well. Toss and serve.

PIRI PIRI CHICKEN BY ANJIMILE MTILA OPONYO

Ingredients
1 cup green small birds eye chillies (or any other hot chilli - remember, the smaller the chilli the hotter it is)
1 cup red small birds eye chillies (or any other hot chilli)
2 cloves garlic
1 tablespoon coarse salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon hot Piri Piri Chilli powder (used for colour and to give extra chilli bite)
Squeeze of lemon or lime

Method
Cut up the chillies into very small bits together with the garlic clove and put it into a pestle and mortar. Get the vegetable oil very hot (just about smoking hot) in a frying pan. After grinding the mixture in the pestle and mortar add to the hot oil in the frying pan and fry (stirring all the time). It does not take long, only a couple of minutes. Take it off the heat just before it wants to burn. Do not burn the chilli as it will give off a very strong smell and spoil the Piri Piri. Let it cool a bit before putting into a glass jar.
Add cold olive oil and stir the mixture up. Add a squeeze of lemon or lime to jar (this will help tenderize the meat). Keep refrigerated and use as a marinade on chickens (inject into chicken meat with large needle with a syringe or score the meat or and also use the mixture as a sauce for anything, e.g., Piri Piri Prawns.

Best Holiday in Malawi Lake by Anjimile Mtila Oponyo

Sitting in the sunshine on a palm-fringed, sandy beach with sapphire water stretching as far as the eye can see, you might be forgiven for thinking you're on an oceanic tropical island rather than on the shores of Lake Malawi, hundreds of kilometres from the coast.

Part of the tumble of mountains and lakes that make up the Great Rift Valley, Lake Malawi is the undisputed draw card of what people call the friendliest country in Africa. Covering 30 000km² and taking up a of Malawi, this massive freshwater body is filled with shoals of brightly coloured fish while the branches of lakeside trees act as convenient perches for African fish eagles, their distinctive calls a soothing soundtrack to a Lake Malawi holiday.

The most accessible and popular parts of Lake Malawi are its southern and central regions, and this is where you'll find our pick of lakeside accommodation, ranging from family-friendly beach resorts such as Club Makokola to romantic island lodges including Mumbo Island and Kaya Mawa. Even in these more visited areas the lake is still wonderfully untouched by mass tourism: no queues, no crowds - just a stress-free beach holiday in a unique environment.

Activities offered at Lake Malawi lodges are understandably water-based. With the largest number of fish species of any lake in the world, the snorkelling is fantastic and it’s a top destination for freshwater scuba diving too. The flat lake surface is also perfect for leisurely kayaking and fair-weather sailing.

Back on dry land there are plenty of opportunities to go bird watching, add on a local big game safari in nearby Liwonde National Park, or just to immerse yourself in the local beach culture - noted as being about as laid-back as it gets.

Lake Malawi is best visited between early May and late October when the climate is mild to warm with little chance of rain and the risk of malaria is at its lowest. Find out more about where to go on Lake Malawi or simply chat to one of our well-travelled Africa Safari Experts - they know the area well and can recommend the perfect place for a week-long Lake Malawi holiday or will include a couple of relaxing days on the lakeshore as part of a longer Southern Africa safari itinerary.
