Bingu linked with divorced ex-first lady
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.

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
The Bible says it that if one dies, one is free to marry the one you feel can help you. So is it acase to do what he did?

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).
best wishes in 2009 may election
no problem.More fire! Nyasa umatidziwitsa za kuchipinda.
afterall hes just human like anybody else.we o got feelings president or no president.
