MAJOTI; MY SECONDARY SCHOOL HEADMASTER
Dedicated to Fidelis Balakasi, for the trust you had in me. He was generally a hated person because of what he would do when you crossed his path. I crossed his path thrice. I was the school head prefect on two of these occasions and I got caught once. The students liked to hate Majoti. There were also times, some teachers told us remarks so as to hate Majoti, my secondary school head teacher. I joined my secondary school in January of 2007. On this particular Sunday, I was so excited about going to secondary school. But fear ate me up as the hours drew closer. Somebody came and told me whilst I was packing at home that school opening had instead been shifted to Monday and that I would have to report then. So I left home and went to the Catholic Mission 300 metres or so north of our home to take bicycle rides and play a few games. The secondary school I was going to was a further 200 metres to the west of the Catholic parish. Mtendere Secondary School, Dedza, Ma
