What motivated you to pursue a career in politics? After 20 years of working in development and as a women’s and human rights activist, I was thinking of retiring at the age of 54. What was your first breakthrough and how did you achieve it? Spending years working at the grassroots level in microfinance, orphan care and other things meant that by the time I decided to run for office, I had a big enough following to win easily. What has been the biggest obstacle in your path to the highest level of politics? In Malawi, our founding fathers gave politics the Chichewa name “ndale”. I had been a human rights activist, I had run NGOs in Malawi as do many other people, and we formed networks and supported one another.
