THE MICHAELHOUSE:   Quis ut Deus translates to 'Who like God?' is the school motto. This motto is derived from the name of the school whose origin stems from the Hebrew Mikha'el which translates to the same. "Boys today, men of principles tomorrow"  I n 1896 in the Balgowan valley in the Midlands of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa James Cameron Todd, an Anglican canon shared a vision for a school.

PART 5: SEASON FINALE, PRESIDENT BINGU WA MUTHARIKA IS DEAD, DEEP STATE IS OVERPOWERED, VP JOYCE BANDA LAUGHS LAST SHE IS SWORN IN - BEATING THE MIDNIGHT SIX The six ministers addressed Malawians at midnight on 6 April 2012, saying that Joyce Banda was ineligible to become president of Malawi. (When Joyce Banda became president, she arrested these six & charged them with treason for their mischief) On April 7, the day of the proposed court action, the Attorney General called the Minister of Justice to say he was NOT going to file court papers and would resign in protest if the government forced him to proceed to court to try stop Joyce Banda becoming president. The Attorney General then texted Peter Mutharika, the president’s brother, advising him to abandon the course he had taken and to further remind him that Malawi needed to be governed by constitutional order. In his final act of defiance, Attorney General called all concerned staff at the Ministry of Justice who were working...

PART4... PRESIDENT BINGU WA MUTHARIKA IS DEAD, VICE PRESIDENT JOYCE BANDA IS ALL ALONE, THE CENTER CAN NOT HOLD DEEP STATE - Here is how it actually works... .....Civil society groups immediately organized a press conference where they demanded full compliance with constitutional provisions and indicated that the vice president Mrs Joyce Banda was the rightful person to take charge in the event that the President was incapacitated or dead. Former President Bakili Muluzi addressed a press conference & stated that the Constitution was very clear on the issue of succession in the event that the President was incapacitated. He demanded information on the state of the president’s health because rumour was he was dead. On 6 April, Joyce Banda sent a letter to the Chief Cabinet Secretary seeking assurance that she was still Vice President and according to the Constitution she was in charge in the circumstance. The Chief Secretary did not respond to the letter. Joyce Banda then called th...

PART3: PRESIDENT BINGU WA MUTHARIKA DIES, VICE PRESIDENT JOYCE BANDA MUST NOT BE PRESIDENT... Heavy power plays, a tough military chief, a sloppy attorney general, the midnight six, ... the political deep state machinery out in full swing, Do you have your coffee ready? Coz this is one interesting drama! In April 2012 the president of Malawi collapsed and died. Between the day he died and the official announcement of death, a LOT of things happened as previously narrated, including attempts to elbow Vice President Mrs. Joyce Banda out. Joyce Banda had fallen out with President Bingu wa Mutharika who had begun to position his own brother, Peter Mutharika, to succeed him. As vice president Joyce Banda opposed this arrangement so she was sidelined and eventually left the party to form her own opposition party. In Malawi, the president cannot fire a vice president per the Constitution of the country. A vice president automatically assumes power in the event of death or incapacitation of th...
