Some books educate and motivate you.
Some books entertain and inspire you.
Some books become good company when life hits hard.
The Game of Knives does all five .
Get ready to dive in ………

Today we celebrate the life of Rev. John Chilembwe, a man who fought one of the earliest Games of Knives in Malawi’s history. For him, this was not a metaphor. It was literal. Chilembwe and his fellow revolutionaries were driven by conviction and a refusal to accept oppression as a norm.

As I reflected on his story, I could not ignore how closely it mirrors the opening of my debut book, The Game of Knives. While we rightly honor his bravery, his struggle also teaches a hard lesson. Courage alone is costly. Bravery must be paired with planning, strategy, and wisdom if it is to endure.

The Game of Knives explores what it means to survive and sharpen yourself in unequal systems, where you are often under equipped yet still expected to win. It is about learning how to navigate pressure, power, and purpose without losing yourself.

In the final chapters, I write about legacy. About what remains long after the fight ends. Chilembwe’s knives did not fully win the battle in the moment, but they carved a legacy that still shapes Malawi today. They planted seeds of resistance, dignity and freedom that continue to grow.

Today we remember him not only as a hero and patriot , but also as a lesson that Courage matters, Strategy matter and Legacy matters.

Happy Chilembwe Day.
