noticed that,Banda seems to be on a higher platform in her kneeling position.
On a second thought,she probably could be on a centre rug.2,she's carrying her bag to her shoulder,3,there's an empty seat towards the end of the room.
Re: Etta Banda Kneels Down To Welcome Tanzanian President by HezronLorraine(m): 1:16am On Jul 29, 2013
I'm indifferent about this whole scenario,but I respect her.she's of true worth and esteem.

Fair point.
My earlier disbelief hinged on the fact that it is simply odd for the President of a sovereign country to drop to her knees in such a deferential manner. As it turns out, I was right to be circumspect. grin

Etta Banda, who is shown in that photograph, was Malawi's former foreign minister and should not be confused with Joyce Banda.

Madam PEJ should see and learn from this. This is from a woman that holds a legal and constitutinal office. Not a self acclaimed first lady calling a governor boy!

This lady is smarter and more powerful than the men she is kneeling down before. With this act of hers, she will get everything she set out to get for her country during the meeting she is attending. Don't be fooled.

Let me also add that she is more accomplished than many of you people who are vilifying her, will ever be.
