\"Africa,<\/a>Human Rights NGOs are considered vanguards in the struggle against injustice and authoritarianism in Africa. But their narrow focus on civil and political rights neglects widely held economic grievances. In Malawi, an audience-driven radio programme \u2013Nkhani Zam\u2019maboma<\/em>\u00a0or \u201cNews from Districts\u201d \u2013 has captivated the nation by exposing everyday injustices experienced by Malawians. Grievances are articulated through local idioms and proverbs that have little in common with the individual freedoms espoused by human rights activists. Never before has it been possible for Malawians to share experiences of injustice so\u00a0publicly.<\/p>\n
