Bingu the worst mbava our nation will ever have. Bakili Bingu and Pita are matchless swindlers the presidency project was the thieves wearing a garb of respect ending up in stashing all our resources in overseas banks. Throughout their leadership all these top fat cats were the swallowing pythons sweeping every morsel on the economy tables of Malawi into their big bellies. Bingu was a cartoon with peculiar ideas more to swallow our resources into Ndata project however Malawi was too big for his selfishness he vanished into eternity

Why did the Govt of Zim gave loan to a foreigner? That’s the question, if it was given to his wife then it should be her name, not Bingu! Ashhhh

She was not Zimbabwean but Malawian. Her father came from Sakata area (Chief Kuntumanje) in Zomba. Her father worked in farms around Harare and retired comfortably around Chitungwiza area where Bingu rejoined her/(then with her parents)after moving from Zambia without a tambala. Eetu eee.

Probably there’s something inherently bad when it comes to selfishness with mtundu wa Chilomwe! Remember woyimba wina late Michael Yekha? Munthu wodzitama,wodzimva koopsya, he couldn’t agree or work together ndi azinzake a Chimvu River Band.
Come Brown Mpinganjira during Muluzi’s time, over 80% of people employed at MTL or MBC while he wa Minister of Information were from Lhomwe belt

A very slow accounting office to suggest they wish to collect from a dead President 8 years ago. If the contract was with Bingu they are likely out of luck. Interesting how Bingu as President of Malawi was farming in Zimbabwe development and corruption everywhere.
