Malawi nonvoters denied farm subsidies

Gina Champiti, a widowed mother of eight children aged between three and 12 did not register to vote in the May presidential and parliamentary elections. This is going to cost her her livelihood. Because she does not have a voter identity card, she will no longer be allowed to benefit from the country’s agricultural subsidy. The fertiliser and seed subsidy programme, introduced in Malawi in 2004, has turned the country into a bread basket for the Southern African Development Community Some politicians – especially those within the government – were abusing the system by acquiring coupons and distributing them to family and friends. Malawi has no national identity card, so the voter registration card fills the gap, ...
