In a move many have described as retrogressive, the Chewa Heritage Foundation (CHEFO) on Friday courted controversy when announced it will compile an inventory of all skilled and professional Chewa people with various academic and vocational qualifications to push for “Chewalisation” of the public service and public appointments.
Chewa people: Its their turn
According to a statement signed by CHEFO secretary general Dr Numeri Geresomo, the move is aimed at strengthening CHEFO and serve the Chewa nation better.
But critics accused President Lazarus Chakwera’s administration of favouring his Chewa tribe, a move which the CHEFO wants to accelerate.
Chewas Think They Made It In Life
The shameless release
The Chewa Heritage Foundation is looking for Chewa CVs. NonChewas need not apply! They want to see which Chewas have skills, you know, there might be some vacancies that might need a Chewa candidate in the Tonse future.
Though they are frantically trying to walk away from the release, two journalists have authenticated the release. They can deny it all they want; it is only because of the furore.

We love our Chewa brothers, the history of Malawi is in part the history of the Chewas, but someone needs to call them out on their never-ending tribal myopia and mania.
