A new radio drama series has captured the attention of Malawi with its compelling storyline of love, faith, betrayal, and examination of sexual and reproductive health rights and laws. Entitled Fupa Lokakamiza, the radio play is broadcast on Times Radio every Thursday at 8:30 pm, and it revolves around protagonist Linda, a devoted Born-Again Christian, and antagonist Mavuto at a college in the city of Blantyre. As the story unfolds, many listeners are left wondering: Will arts student Linda, a passionate preacher and prayer warrior, succumb to the romantic advances of the notorious and manipulative Mavuto? The first two episodes aired on Times Radio depict Mavuto swallowing his pride by joining a Student Pentecostal Fellowship where Linda is the lead.
While Linda’s close friend, Jude, questions Mavuto’s intentions, Linda defends him, quoting Irish playwright Oscar Wilde and drawing parallels from the Bible. “Irish playwright Oscar Wilde once said that every saint has a past; and, every sinner has a future. In the Bible, Paul had a dark past but later became a vessel of God and a spiritual giant.
