I am a Malawian living in South Africa I don’t know if what I heard is true about all the Malawian passports are being renewed. I took my passport in 2005.

Those with two passports manage to get through because there is no national I’d in Malawi. Most peple can not afford Kx,000 for a passport. Having a national I’d as most countries do would assist.

@Allan Zyapa: Actually after they obtain the new passport, they do not use the old one. It is not lack of law. The law is there only that there is an identity crisis.

My mind just blew up to read all that because I can’t even imagine to have different passports with different identities. Is this lack of law or it is bribery? It is beyond my imagination. Clement, thanks for sharing all that. I think you are the only blog owner who is giving such information. Actually I get a lot of knowledge visiting your blog.

Interesting thing. I haven’t known that. In Russia you can’t live without passport. You can go to jail if you haven’t it.

@Taka: So you are from Zim. I hear than sanity is coming back to the country. You may wish to return in the near future.
