        I hope she remembers that women can also be presidents. In fact, her daughters have a former Pres, Dr. Joyce Banda to follow.

        You don't have to grow up in Malawi to be a Malawian president, you need to love the country, its people and be willing to improve the system for the betterment of every citizen and residents.
