    This study investigates the religious and other beliefs related to the corona/COVID-19 pandemic and how they are related to covid risk perceptions, trust in COVID vaccines, and how these are affected by the religious beliefs, religious affiliations, trust in authorities, generalized trust, and how these affect vaccine demand/vaccine hesitancy. The study took place in rural areas in six districts in Central and Southern Regions of Malawi during April-May 2022 towards the end of the fourth wave of the pandemic that was dominated by the omicron variant of the virus, through personal interviews of 835 subjects. The study revealed five religious beliefs associated with the pandemic and one non-religious belief that vaccination would lead to infertility in women. This belief (14% of the sample) and the belief that vaccination leads to a triple-six mark from the Devil (33% of the sample) were strongly negatively associated with trust in the vaccine and the trust in the vaccine had a strong impact on the demand for vaccine/vaccine hesitancy. In addition, certain religious groups were associated with more of these pandemic-related beliefs, lower trust in the vaccines, and lower vaccine demand/stronger vaccine hesitancy. Trust in politicians, health personnel, and generalized trust contributed to stronger trust in vaccines. It may be important to address both the beliefs and some of the religious groups and their leaders to promote vaccine demand and reduce vaccine hesitancy

    This paper is about social relations in customary lands for the matrilineal uxorilocal culture of the Lomwe, Nyanja and Yao tribes in Southern Malawi. The study was carried out in the districts of Chiradzulu and Phalombe. Qualitative methods were used to examine local histories and practices to identify the social and power relations between males and females in matrilineal groups and the roles of chiefs, extended families, and traditional practices in access to and control over customary land. By focusing on local histories the study documents that patterns of access to and control over customary lands are historical in nature and embedded in social ties and power relations. Male and female members of the household or family have equal use rights but unequal ownership rights. The land belongs to the extended family and not to the community or individuals. Instead of saying the land belongs to 'me' the people say the land belongs to 'us' even though the individuals may have user rights in perpetuity. The 'us' implies the extended family and not the community. The power and control over the land is located in the group of sisters and not in the head of family (mwini-mbumba) or the Chief. The patterns of control have to be understood for proper decisions to be made on how to organize access to and control over land, especially in a country where livelihoods are dependent on agriculture or are land based in nature.
