Early early this morning I flew back to Lilongwe after a quick business trip to Madagascar. I was aboard the "Nairobi- Lusaka- Lilongwe- Nairobi Express" a night flight that takes forever. Upon arrival at Kamuzu International Airport, my driver wasn't there to pick me up. A quick call confirmed that he was asleep in bed, but he quickly said he'd be on his way. So I had to wait about 20 minutes for him to get there. At 1:00 in the afternoon the airport arrival is full of activity, but at 2:00 in the morning it's quite dead and empty. I sat down on a bench and hoped he would arrive quickly.
Upon seeing me on the bench a couple of police asked me if I needed help. I told them my driver was on the way. So what did they do?
They just sat themselves on the bench next to me and waited with me until the driver arrived. They didn't have to do that, but knew how empty the place was. It was a reassuring and very welcomed move on their part. Zikomo Malawi Police!
