Joyce Banda

I'm indeed a mandasi seller, and I'm proud of it, because the majority of women in Malawi are like us, mandasi sellers.

Malawians must look forward toward a better future.

My dream is for Malawi to be poverty-free, and I intend to eradicate poverty through economic growth and wealth creation.

When I joined politics, I was arrested in Luanshya... In 1960, I was with great people like Justine Chimba, Mazimba from Ndola and Dingiswayo Banda.

James Joyce - an essentially private man who wished his total indifference to public notice to be universally recognized.

So when you spot violence, or bigotry, or intolerance or fear or just garden-variety misogyny, hatred or ignorance, just look it in the eye and think, 'The good outnumber you, and we always will.'
