Talk:Bingu wa Mutharika

message: He later added the prefix 'wa' between his names to disguise his identity from Dr Hastings Kamuzu Banda's state security, even though he was not a political opponent of Dr Banda.
One reason for wa Mutharika's decision to join the UN was his opposition to the regime of Malawi's self-declared "President for Life," Hastings Kamuzu Banda.
These two quotes seem to contradict each other. Was he a political opponent of Hastings Kamuzu Banda or not? Or was Banda his opponent at one time, but not at the time when he changed his name? This should be clarified. -kotra (talk) 20:18, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

message: Why isn't there anything about his agricultural policy here? Under his tenure Malawi ended its food-deficiency and became the largest food exporter in the region. --88.89.167.41 (talk) 08:25, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

There are people editing large chunks of the page and removing data that has been written by many contributers including references. Perhaps the page should be locked so that this doenst happen again. How can someon delete half a page ith references on them on a page this is vandallism.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.28.140.254 (talk) 10:33, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

thread_title: Policy non-compliance

message: Mutharika's 2 predecessors as Malawi President are numbered. There's no reason why Mutharika shouldn't be numbered too, as this is the practice across many Head of state bio articles. GoodDay (talk) 22:05, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Numbering  

message: Even though the quote naming him as "Catholic" (what kind of Catholic? Roman Catholic, as the British press would usually say?) comes from the BBC (though in passing), I would likek to see a more serious reference, since his parents are said to have been preachers of a Protestant denomination for decades.
I understand that Mutharika changed his name and could ahve as easily changed his religion, but a mention in passing of his religion by a media that had little access to authentic data of such a personal preference (considered too perosnal to enquire about in the West) does not seem plausible enough.
