Whenever I go to Kulamba ceremony we always start with a prayer before gule starts. This is because our Gawa is a stauch catholic. Who are these Nkhoma synods to point a finger at us when they were caught stealing USAID money live? They can’t even settle their differences with tribal Livingstonia because they are both tribalist christians . 95% of Malawian cashgaters are church going chriastians. Let our Chewa culture survive for the benefit of future generations.

I this dance really big “Gule wankulu”? I doubt,,ovinawo they always look malnourished, after being swept by wind all night long….They even fought with achawa ku lilongwe at Chinsapo…..achawa atakwiya they went wild like a rabid dog digging nyau tombstones..mpaka pano anyau akangoona munthu wovala kanzyuri pamutu amathawa ngati apysereza ndiwo pamoto…funso langa ndilakuti: kodi mafumuwa akufuna atazipanga chimozi*2 ndi achisilamu? asilamu akamapanga mwambo wawo kaya pamaliro iwonso anyau azikhalapo?

Ufumu ndi chikhalidwe, nde ngati palibepo gule wamkulu nde tikutaya chikhalidwe.
Chewas are associated with gulewankulu basi (nyau) palibe zosintha apa.
A tchalitchi akakana nde angosiya kupanga participate za ufumu..

I believe that the chiefs from Kasungu are not serious. There is no way the two can co exist as the two have different beliefs. Clearly, if your are Nyau follower then you are not a Christian. You can’t have both performing at the same ceremonies. As the Reverend has put, in Lilongwe rural, Gule wa nkulu followers would not tolerate chirstians to be performing in their midst. May be in Kasungu and in parts of Blantyre, Chikwawa, Monkey Bay, the practitioners of Gule wa Nkulu are not very strict. In Lilongwe rural and Dedza, I just do not see… Read more »

The main problem with some of our traditions is that, though they look innocent on the surface, they have dark secrets and they are controlled by dark powers that also control the people that practice them. That is why its very difficult to convince someone who is practicing these traditions to leave them. Traditions like ‘kulowa kufa, bulangete la mfumu, fisi, nyau, witchcraft, zinamwali, etc, are good examples. Others are the traditions that almost every tribe in Malawi follows when there is death. In other tribes, for instance, individuals are forced to perform some secret rituals like exchanging clothes with… Read more »

Gulewakulu is not a mere traditional dance, it’s a cult. U can not claim to be Christian and a cult member in the pretext of gulewakulu at the same time.
If God be ur Lord follow Him, but if Baal then follow him [1KINGS 18;21]
These nyau people cause confusion in churches becoz they’re agents Satan. Tell them plainly either to choose Baal or God. GOD BLESS U ALL

Both christians and gulewankulu serve god although the manner of service differs. Both should be allowed to perform at a funeral function of a deceased who belonged to both of these religions. No one is right about a religion, and no one is wrong, and so barring one religion from performing at a function is being selfish and inviting trouble. Both of these religions should co-exist. After all, christianity is a foreign religion in the areas where gulewankulu is practiced – gulewankulu members are the owners of the land, let them practice their religion freely. I thought there is freedom… Read more »

You must be joking, Do you know Gule wa Nkulu? How can you say that they both serve God?
