Quotes

  • It is wrong for Madonna to accuse the ministry of not welcoming her in the country.
  • We didn’t know that she was coming. There is absolutely no communication in the ministry telling us that she was coming and that she would be visiting some schools. The protocol is wrong; otherwise we have no problem with Madonna.
  • Who are we to refuse when somebody says ‘I want to help you.’ We have so many problems in the education ministry where we need support. It would be madness to refuse to get support. Next time they should communicate to us," said Kazembe.
  • She promised an academy and we agreed on standards but she just changed her mind on the project without consulting us.
  • We'd like them to work with us so that they can be absorbed into the strategy of Malawi's education and that goes not just for Madonna—any group that comes to Malawi to assist us in education.
  • They have said they have built 10 schools in Malawi and on our side, what we know is that she [Madonna] has built classrooms. These are not schools from our side and really that's the essence of the difference between her side and the Malawi government.
