Kunena mosabisa Mr. Suleman ntchito mumaigwira motamandika I wish u were a president not vice …. Big up
Ooh Lord! zonse chitani monga mwa kufuna kwanu
Inna lin-llah wa ina illaih-rajiuna
Get well soon Mr. Nik and all in hospital. For a Chair and all who have lost their lives we say ‘May Your Souls Rest In Peace’.
It was a sad development indeed. But I personally would like to thank staff of the Department of Nutrition, HIV and AIDS who were travelling to Lilongwe on the day the tragic accident happened. they braved the occasion and displayed the act of bravery and sacrifice by initiating the act of rescuing the victims of the accident. they mobilized the villagers who were standing just watching and not knowing what to do. They were pulling the victims from the vehicles that were badly damaged. they bathed in blood while others were organizing transport to ferry the victims to Balaka hospital. They saw the accident happening and they made sure that they report the incident to the nearest Police Station. May the God compensate you for the unselfish act of bravery and sacrifice. As Malawians we should also learn to help one another in times of need. To our brothers and sisters that were injured, I wish quickest recovery and those that lost their lives, may their souls rest in perfect peace.

Its normal the president to condole for the death of 4 bullets supporters RIP,to the enjured you will get well soon.
I heard that the hotel boss has a broken nose and collapsed lung and when the tyre burst he knew the minibus would probably overturn so he chose the on coming vehicle as an anchor so he wouldn’t roll
To those lost their lives its not our wish RIP,you will get well soon
Rest

Tonse masapota tili ndichisoni kwa abale omwe ataya miyoyo yawo,ause ndimtendere
get well soon my beloved country men
This is sad news and its good that the president condoled the concerned families and bb as well, that’s normal
RIP INJURED ONES GET WELL SOON
Let us learn to take certain things the way they come. i am not a DPP follower neithee do i like APM but to say his condolences are wrongly placed is again another wrong thinking.
APM is just human he has feelings n sympathy therefore, he is also bound to condole anyone as he wishes.
For those still in hospital or nursing various degrees of injuries get well soon. To the families that have lost members may God be your comforter in this trying moment. RIP
Kwa amene Ali mu chipatala mulungu awayang’anire achile mwansanga,amene aluza miyoyo yawo mizimu yawo uwuse mu mtendere. Amen

RIP…… WE WILL MISS YOUR SUPPORT. AS FOR THOSE IN HOSPITALS, GET WELL SOON
But what is the story with the driver who was driving the hotel minibus how is he am so concerned as a fan of BB may the be touched by the hand of The Lord
may their soul rest in peace
Deeply shocked! May their humble souls rest in eternal peace and may the good Lord comfort the bereaved families in this trying time.
Deeply shocked by the demise of the three, especially Fides Josaya who was my classmate at Bangwe pvt Secondary School 18 years ago and happened to work in the same district later, and Maxwell Jabili who was the Pastor for Assemblies of God church in Balaka. May their humble souls rest in eternal peace and may God comfort the bereaved families. Tidzazindikira bwino patsogolo ndithu……
To those who are in hospital I wish them quick recovery and those lost their lives may their souls rest in peace, I as BB fan am deeply concerned.
Let us join hands in condoling the survivors and relatives of the deceased during this difficult and trying time, May the Almighty God have mercy on the families in particular and the Big Bullets fratenity as a whole.
Mpakana condolences from the country’s chief executive? I hope its not campaign gimmick. Cause FAM and SULOM was enuff.
BALAKA NEEDS SPECIAL PRAYERS! MAY DE SOUL OF MA BELOVED SUPPORTERZ REST IN PEACE!
Very sad, may their souls rest in peace, those in hospital wishing them a quick recovery

May their soul rest in peace and those who are in hospitals I wish them a quick recovery.
