Do Malawian banks really know their customers?

BENJA: Malawian banks! DANISO: What about them? BENJA: I've a feeling they don't think at all. DANISO: Well, I sure hope so. They're inanimate objects so I would be scared were they to start thinking. BENJA: Smartass! But you know what I mean. DANISO: Maybe but an illustration would help clarify matters, don't you think? BENJA: Fine. Imagine you're an ordinary customer at Malawi's biggest bank. DANISO: By an ordinary customer I suppose you mean someone like me, someone who visits the bank only once in a month to do a full withdrawal of the salary. BENJA: Not really, but I agree for a good number of people a bank is just a pay center. Anyway, even though you're a customer at branch X of Malawi's at one of Malawi's banks, you can walk to any of its ATMs in the country, or even a rival's, and be able to cash up to a certain daily maximum. No questions asked. DANISO: True, but I don't yet see your point. Anyway, go on. BENJA: If on the other ha...

Mixed up shoes

What a night. Not that I could remember much about it, mind you. But I went home in the early hours of the morning. I wouldn't have done that had it been a lousy night, would I? In any case, I'd been with her again. No, not the wife. What's wrong with you? A couple of hours after getting into my matrimonial bed I was violently shaken awake by an angry wife. Apparently, her gentler attempts to wake me up had come to nought. But the localised earthquake did the trick. When the cobwebs had cleared from my head somewhat, it was explained to me that we had to get going. Already! Man, I hate the morning after, especially when you've to do a 300 km trip to attend some stupid wedding. But for the sake of peace in the house, I rushed to freshen up. Passport size, of course. Didn’t have time for a shower. How could I have found the time with an angry wife glowering at me? In my condition, there was no way I was going to drive. So the wife drove while I flopped onto the bac...

It's yet another of my many birthdays

Birthdays. The more they accumulate the less the desire to acknowledge them let alone celebrate them, and the stronger the urge to postpone them. But you can’t dodge them even though you know that each of them adds to the bundle of years that weighs you down a little more each year. Yes, they keep coming back like a pesky fly to a honeyed bun when what you want is to have a birthday every other year. Or indeed, one five years. Unfortunately, unless you’re a Malawian footballer, you don’t have the luxury to pick and choose the years in which you’ve birthdays. I cannot say thanks and no thanks. So I’ve to accept that today the 18th day of September the humdrum of my life has been milestoned by yet another birthday. Just as it was last year, the year before, the year before that and every year in the decades I’ve so far accumulated. Which means I’ve no choice but to blow out the uncountable imaginary candles on the imaginary birthday cake and make a wish. But what’s my birthday wi...
