Hello all
jephte...@yahoo.com
I wanted to ask for direction and provide my views of the actions we agreed upon last year. September came and went and less than 10 people met their pledges.
Reminders yielded nothing. So it would seem we are just a bunch of talkers. Majority want to keep money in the pocket (influence from Atcheya)
I wanted to propose that whatever is there be used to purchase the last mattresses and abandon the group.
Regards
Jephter

Thanks a lot.
This idea could be the right one. We can start making meetings at Regional level and then later at national level.
This will help us to strengthen our relation deeper and stronger, and our objectives can easily be reached.

The excitement when it comes to historical discussions is always high. And of course most of us do not contribute any penny. I am no exception.
The economy in the country at present (and for the past years) is so bad that it has become so difficult for one to commit and implement.
While quitting at this stage will not serve any purpose, that we have not done much is clear.
The chair has been very great all through and through. Thumbs up to you adada Jephter. But he needs support. Let him head a new committee. We should bring in fresh minds, energies, strategies and ideas!
The IT guy Dan and treaturer Winner have been great too. Ada Musopole so good at publicity, always first to respond. And ada mphande uku kutali and the rest contributed very well!
Let's have new elections at regional and then national level. If this is agreeable by all.

Dear Chair and colleagues-Your sentiments are quite deflating and may be to some extent reflective of what is happening in our political circles where most of us are just talkers and not doers and see the smaller good rather than the greater good of society and our country at large.If this is happening to educated people like us that attained Secondary school education, what would one expect from villagers given such less desirable attitude?
Whilst the suggestion to proceed to buy mattresses and abolish the group sounds appetizing since we are failing to converge on the objective for which it was set up,I wish to slightly vary your suggestion chair if you may allow me to.I to propose that you give us enough rope to hand ourselves by giving us a deadline of March 2,2014 for those that haven't yet made a contribution to do so even if it is MK1000 so that we can bump up what we set to achieve.I agree with those that have suggested to set up regional groupings and ensure that we don't abandon the group.
When we cannot do simple things like giving back to the society that made us what we are today in whatever form and shape, one wonders whether what education did was impart on us such huge amounts of knowledge and left our inert primitivism intact.
I am sad with this observation I must admit.

Dr Madhlopa-I agree with your sentiments 300%.I must share my personal hobby when I come home for holidays- which is meaningful musical collection.I was recently impressed with Lucious Banda's song "Paulendo" where he expresses the resolve to reject failure and stay put. It seems our group is accepting failure as part of us and ready to sit phwiii!!! like one Kamphulusa when it comes to matters of this nature.As products of Nkhaboss, we should enmass reject to be defeated and resolve to set right our noble objective.I hope I am making sense.

Dear All,
What I suggest to the secretary is that if he could share names of all members in our NKHABOSS family including their contact details.
This will help us to follow up some issues when it comes to contributions and other related issues. We must be open and ready to share whatever we feel like sharing and if there are a few of us who feel uncomfortable with such communications through e-mails let them notify the IT Administrator, so that they can be helped in a better way. Calling for a total disbanding of the grouping would be suicidal and naïve.
We are looking forwarding to getting dates of our meetings in three regions ASAP.

Several people tried showed the way by donating generously koma ayi ndithu the momentum has dwindled at the time action was needed.
May be, as Steve suggests, let's have new leaders with fresh ideas.
Dan, please check balance tione chomwe tingapange as we sign off to give new blood a chance!

Dear All,
I am sure you are all right but now we need to try it again. We also need to change our minds. Setting up new committee members won’t change things much because we are the same people, but calling for a real
Change within ourselves would be imperative. Waiting for the final move from, the right office.

Dear ALL,Just for your records, we have tried organizing meetings before. The first BT meeting attracted some reasonable numbers. Later on, the numbers started dwindling. As for contributions, it is evident we have shunned that and yet, from the onset, it was clear that one can make any contribution according to "kupata kwawo"...we had even said even a MK1000 could make a difference! Alas, all that never yielded much. Nevertheless, we need to applaud all those who have made their contributions.I think generally, as one of the members in the committee, guys, we tried. Yes, we have had our shortfalls. Yes, we could have done better. But Personally, I do not see how else I can do things to make people change their perspective on this matter. I am fully aware that I have not done much to the satisfaction of the grouping but I entirely support the idea of elections being held and ushering in new leadership. Lets give it one more try with new leadership in place...Chair, what do you have to say???With Compliments"Where the goal is never visibly attained, there has never been any work done.

Good people
We just have to “Walk the Talk “whilst we interact and be mindful of the good cause that has brought us together. During our first LL interaction,Mayamiko alluded to the small gathering that “we be like moto wa makala achilengedwe(nkholongo) not wa mapesi”.We are currently smoldering charcoal and its likely that only the few will rekindle the flame to the desired degree.
A chair I will honour my pledge tomorrow through you.

I think the chair's threat of nearly dissolving the grouping will work to the advantage of the grouping's survival.

Chair ,Steve and colleagues,
There comes a time in life that one has to face reality.Behaving like an ostrich is not a solution at all that we burry our heads in sand hoping that the problem is going to go away. Supporting change of leadership is not addressing the problem head on because I personally have not seen anything wrong that the current leadership has done.Lets give credit where it is due.The leadership team we have has been consultative,has never with held information and clearly outlined the cause which we set out to achieve.
The basic problem we have here is that even the minimum contribution sought is not being made regardless of whatever text book excuse we can use. Excuses of whatever magnitude do not solve issues. They just postpone solutions to existent problems. To me, the issue is that we are being selfish by not doing the basic obligation of not contributing whatever we have.. Lets do whatever we can for the phase that you guys have set out to achieve-because that's our basic objective and then deal with regional leadership issues later.I seriously feel that we need to aim at achieving the first task and let us give each other the morale to call one member each and remind them to contribute whatever they have .If some of us can call two people and remind them, the better.This is a simple task and not much science or experimentation is involved.Lets just do it and move to the next phase.
