MALAWI’s fiercest political rivals have united in a rare show of solidarity to mourn the death of the country’s champion for the disabled. Minister in the President’s Office George Claver died on Monday while campaigning for the economic rights of rural disabled people. Claver, himself physically disabled, single-handedly spearheaded the battle for recognition of economic and human rights for the disabled since being appointed to cabinet two years ago. His legacy includes the banishing of discriminatory language, such as cripple, lame and idiot, from government documentation. – African Eye News Service
