Hey all, by popular request I will also create an english blog about my stay in Blantyre Malawi.
So what I'm going to do so far away from everything is simple. I am going to study! I will do research about the Mbona cult in the Archives and possibly also at the university of Blantyre Malawi. The Mbonacult is one of the many rain cults of Africa and the followers mostly live in the Nsanje province; in the Shire valley to be exact. (And no, they are not Hobbits :P) The first few weeks; I'll mostly spend in the biggest city of Malawi, Blantyre. Here is an university with a library and also some kind of archives where I hope to find some info about the cult, the followers and about Chief Mbona (Spoiler alert!!) From hereon I will try to build up contacts within the cult so i can intensify my research.
I will keep you guys updated through here and I hope you'll follow me :)
