Professor Felix Mnthali: a life well lived

Abstract

It is not often that a rural poor boy’s fate destines him for the greatest academic opportunities that turn him into a professorial scholar of renown. Nowadays, only a few black people can tell you about their outstanding academic achievements during the days of colonialism where rebellion politics was a norm. Not to saythat Professor Felix Mnthali had escaped the hype of standing up for his country‘s sovereignty, he had at one point tried to juggle both academics and politics but ended up having to prioritise one over the other.
