Bingu linked with divorced ex-first lady

image Vera: Bingu's new found love?

Barely a year after the death of his Zimbabwean wife of 40 years, Ethel, Malawi President Bingu Mutharika has reportedly stepped out with a new love interest. He is linked with former First Lady of Zambia, Vera Chiluba. 

Vera was divorced from Zambia’s ex-ruler Fredrick Chiluba in late 2001 on allegations of adultery. She was suspected to have been in an illicit affair with a business tycoon, Archie Mactribouy. She was Chiluba’s second wife and had nine children together. 

According to a Malawian resident in Zambian capital, Lusaka, currently on a short holiday in the country and familiar with the matter [name withheld] said Vera, is intimately in love with Mutharika and she sent the Malawi ruler several presents ranging from men’s underwear, her own knickers and potency pills. 

The source disclosed that Vera has been visiting the Malawi leader at the New State House, a claim which a State House source in Lilongwe confirmed.

"We have been hosting Vera,” said an officer working at State House who said her visitation should not be misguided considering that the President knew her in Zambia long time ago when they used to reside together.
 

A senior aide to Mutharika however said the matter was "mere speculation" until it becomes “official”. The President’s brother  Prof Peter Mutharika, reportedly advised Bingu to be in love, but not to marry, according to sources close to the Head of State.

State House informant disclosed that Vera was last seen as a special guest of Mutharika a week before the Malawi leader flew to the Egyptian Holiday Resort of Sharma El-Sheikh for the 11th session of the African Union Summit.

"She was here before the President left for
Egypt," said the source. 

Mutharika has been rumoured to be linked to several high ranking government women  namely Majorie Ngaunje [former health minister], Anna Kachikho [Women’s minister]  and Patricia Botomani Kaliati [Information Minister] since he lost his wife last year after a failed battle against cancer. 

But a senior ruling party official  who opted for anonymity said Mutharika is anxious that the matter does not become a subject of public debate. 

However, he said  it is hoped the "issue is treated with due decorum to allow President Mutharika come to terms with the new state of affairs.”

The president's office could not comment on the status of the two.

However, in a media statement issued by press officer Chikumbutso Mtumodzi on Wednesday, said President Mutharika is “seriously preoccupied” in reshaping the country social and economic outlook.

Love in the air but its normal for president to fall inlove with any lady of his choice.We cannot make a decision on love-love thing for our presidentlet alone leadership.

Everyone who is inlove can understand this kupatula mabatchala and about the illict behaviour of Vera that has nothing to do with public.If the heart of the president has fallen inlove with Vera let it be.

Having good wife is sometimes good she controls you when you are making serious mistakes.We have seen anthu ovuta koma kwa azikazi awo amakalipidwa ngati mwana thats how powerful a woman is.

Congratulations mr president if you have found your destiny in Madame Vera.l know people will be critical about behaviour of Vera but lets leave that to love zone nothing we can do about it if they are madly inlove.Do we manage to control the behaviour of our wives or wives to be? KEEP IT UP MR PRESIDENT * CANNOT OPPOSE ON THIS SUBJECT BECAUSE LOVE IS DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND.ONLY ALLAH KNOWS BEST

* think it is natural for any person to have someone to confide with. Even St. Paul said in a letter to Corinthians that it is better to marry rather than to burn with passion. Let the president marry, otherwise going after Patricia, Majorie or Anna is a waste of time. Also for him to marry this divorced woman, who is alleged to have been flirting with a businessman in her home country Zambia, leaving state house respect, is a thing to take into granted as well. My advice to my president, is that he has to look for a descent lady who will be our mother as late Ethel was. Late Ethel was indeed a mother of Malawi and Malawi will never have again. Let the country pray for our president to have God'* guidance in choosing a true and well charactered and mannered woman as the First Lady of Malawi.

Let us hope this issue is not true. You know the Bible and the Quran condemns adultery, fornication, Beer drinking, pork eating, stealing, hypocrisy and worse of all tyranny and sowing seeds of scold and abhorrence among the people in a community. Much as we can appreciate that every human being has weaknesses but at least a king or a leader of people in a community like Malawi, the so called God fearing country, should possess two to three or more things in his or her character of a good leaders like Moses, Jesus, Abraham, Jacob, Isaac, Ishmael or Prophet Muhammad. If indeed Malawi is a God fearing country, at least we should have a first citizen who should be a role model. * am not accusing our president of Malawi, but if indeed what has been said concerns him please he should resign and not seek a second term in 2009. Un-learned-people might attribute the Almighty God is smiling at us, Malawians for the good rains for the past three years because of Bingu, NO. To me a learned person is not limited to having so many and highest circular educational degrees NO, but a person should also have knowledge of the Bible and the Quran in good depth. So if we are really as Malawi a good fearing country, we should know what to do in 2009.

If at all this is true, * dont see any problem. President is a human being just like you, he needs to be loved and not all politics daily. * mean some of you are saying "barely a year since the death of his wife" What is is this rubbish? if it were you could have stayed up to know without marrying?

* sympathise with those that are popular and famous.Such things happen to us commoners with very little or no media attention at all. Its human nature. No wisdom controls emotions especially when they are romantic related. What about Mandela, B. Clinton, A mangwetu, BJ, Sum the list goes on. Much as it might be the case, its too early to start speculating in a negative manner.

What is the problem with His Excellence falling in love? He is also a normal human being who needs love. Behind every successful man, there is a woman. Let the president get a woman - either as a wife or not - to quench his thirst for love. Is it a problem because he is in love with a former first lady? Or is it a problem because he is in love with a Zambia and you wanted him to get a Malawian? Mr. President, don'* you worry. After all, Socrates already said that "every man should marry...if you marry a good wife you enjoy; if you marry bad wife, you become a philosopher". remarrying when the former spouse has died is no prblem at all...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

* have read alot of comments which many of them are against nyasatimes reporting about Bingu'* new found spouse. If you say there is nothing for nyasatimes to report here, why have you commented? It means there is something commnting here. After all, the president is a big person in any country, and whatever is being done by him, should be mentioned for the citizens to know what their president is doing. We do not want Kamuzuism here, we want things to be very transparent. Why to hide as if it is a bad thing for a president to re-marry? osamangoti palibe nkhani pomwe inu mukuchita komenti, pakadakhala popanda nkhani mukadakomenta? Pali nkhani apa, yakuti mtundu wa a Malawi udziwe kuti bwanankubwa wawo watopa afuna osungana naye ngati alembazi ndizoona.

* think much as * appreciate that the President is subject to public scrutiny, * feel this is private and ought to be treated confidential or private till the President himself feels he can tell the nation about his plans of re-marrying. Besides that the President has the freedom to marry anywhere. Look at Mandela, he married in Mozambique. So leave the President alone. Do not encroach his private life.

Dont make things for granteed Bingu you have to give good examples to the fellow Malawians not because Mandela & Gracia they did it and you have to do it.look mother with 9 kids and she was caught with some one and divorced and she was second wife of Chiluba.iyiiiii abale kujakutu kwaipa we dont want to loose you early.we want you to be our advisor when timecomes for us to rule.ofcourse your human being but choose well.ndakayika ngati ana onsewo azakulemekezeni komanso osatibwertesera zigawenga.

Let us be prectical in here. The president is human and if he decides to have a companion is it wrong? In that job or just talk to any politician, there are pressures that may try to suppress your esteem and the only thing that can uplift you is love from someone especially from the opposite ***. For a president, he is in a difficult situation in that he never comes in contact with women on a one to one basis. At all times there is an aid at hand. That being the case, the only ladies a widower can turn to are old acquaintances. What is wrong with that?

Lastly let me raise a finger and point at each one of you men. Whether you are married or not, you are always craving for more love. Only less than 5% can without a doubt be trusted as being people faithful to themselves and their call. Hence if you are not amongst that 5% that is you are yearning for more affairs, be the last person to comment (if never).

* beleive that these issues are not to be discussed in such mannerisms. the newspapers have no evidence and are merely speculating. In doing so they are also deforming peoples characters, they should get their facts straight, not only that these are personal issues, just because they are high profile individuals does not mean their personal lives should be discussed openly, they are human to.

He is a man out of human flesh. Ask the namandwas a Biology olo psycologists. Amakanika okwatira kumakhumbila akazi enanso pochita zibwezi ngati aja anakukhutulirani zindalama zonyozel Bingu, bwa? Let HIM FIND HIS CONFIDANT. How close a freind you can have or a relation, its too, too difcult to point out serious mistake the President can make let alone your wife. Go a head abwana athu.

* just love the deep Malawi language (Chewa?). Well, we have two adults (one a widower and the other a divorcee) who are fully responsible for their actions. One clearly hopes it does not end in a lot of pain for one or both of them.

Should we believe the story? Well, if its true, * suggest that the president should wait. It seems there alot of things that led to the divorce with Chiluba that may in turn turnish the image of our good clean president. Patiance sometimes pays well.

Pliz lets respect our leaders and elders as the Bible says. Refrain from writing insults. Write issues of the nation`* interest, stop writing about someones private life, be responsible citizens.

It is not wrong for the president to have some one to love. Because even in Bible it is said that he who have a wife get favour from God, so for the president that is not bad. God bless you mr president.

Mr President, what you ca normally knows is that one Vera has divorsed from the Zambia'* ex- ruler on the allegation of adultery after being found in an illicity affairs with a businessman dont you think that she will do the same to you after being taking her as a first lady? because here in Malawi we have got also the businessmen and they have taken the point that she is an easy going lady especially the businessmen and thats why Peter wa Muthalika has said to you that just be in love but not to marry her, Peter is also thinking deep because of the businessmen in Malawi so leave her alone.

Why do African leaders like dating other African leaders ex-wives or widows. Are there not other women they can date in the world? Anyway the fact remains that the president is human,his wife is deceased and he has fallen in love...so what? What is he supposed to do? Mourn forever? Let his private life be private please.

Where the head is big, the easier it is to punch it (Mtu ukakula sulewa nkhonya). If big was just a peasant guarding monkeys from spoiling his crops in the rural areas no news can be heard even if he marries 10 wives. Mzabwino akwatire koma kuno sitingapezere kabwino kambeta? Why importing when there are many women at home. A Nyasa Times mwadziwanso kuti anthu ambiri kuno ndi kunja kwa Malawi amawerenga Nyuzi yanu. Mchifukwa ninji anthu ayankha?

Falling in love is inevitable, everyone was born to love and to be loved. Okondedwa sakusakhira ndi munthu wina otherwise you end up loving what anthu amenewo love not what you love
