Just another ordinary day in Africa. Social media was stunned by the fact that high ranking government officials will be presiding over the incineration of expired Covid-19 vaccines.
Fortunately, the people of Malawi, where this event will be taking place, were not too dissatisfied over the matter. Although some highlighted that this shouldn’t even be dressed as a ceremony of such stature, many were not fazed. The popular sentiment is perfectly embodied by the comment that simply stated, “our people love ceremonies.”
View the program of the event below:
Some Zimbabweans were quick to express sentiments implying that Zimbabwe and Malawi were in the same WhatsApp group. “We love a ceremony and ribbon-cutting” remarked some Zimbabweans.
Apparently, this is not a new phenomenon in Africa. We previously covered the story of a Kenyan MP who hosted a ceremony to launch a TV set. Read about that here.
