Bishop Mtumbuka tells Chakwera to avoid leadership style that would lead Malawi to be failed state
Bishop Martin Mtumbuka of the influential Catholic Church has appealed to President Lazarus Chakwera to be decisive in his administration to root out corruption in the country.
Mtumbuka made the appeal on Saturday at Civo Stadium in his homily during a requiem mass for the late Archbishop Tarcizio Ziyaye of Lilongwe Archdiocese.
Ziyaye died of cancer in Namibia at the age of 71. Church authorities disclosed on Saturday.
Mtumbuka said President Chakwera should avoid politics of appeasement and protecting wrong doers.
“The lesson from the life of Archbishop Ziyaye to you Mr. President is to have decisive leadership which does not protect wrong-doers because they come from same region or party with you,” said Mtumbuka.
Mtumbuka, who is Vice President for the Episcopal Conference of Malawi, challenged Chakwera to avoid a leadership style that would lead Malawi to becoming a failed state.
His Grace Mtumbuka described Ziyaye as a true Shepherd who did not mince words.
The requiem mass was presided over by Archbishop Thomas Msusa, the current chairperson of the Episcopal Conference of Malawi.
President Chakwera and his wife, vice president Saulos Chilima, former president Joyce Banda and vice presidents Justin Malewezi and Khumbo Kachali were some of the top officials who attended the mass.
Without nepotism, this government is failing to its promises.
We youth suffering a lot, when will we have one million jobs?
These president trips, costing a lot of money, now we see minister of security using charterd plane to Somaliland, leaving passengers stranded.
Still in leadership of Lucifer.
The same Bishop Mtumbuka supported Joyce Banda blindly. Waste of time and space v
Vuto lake anthu mumakana kudzudzulidwa until things are too late. Me Chakwera should listen and change his ways. He will be ousted before 2025 otherwise
Vuto chakwera wachokera ku umphawi alibe kalikonse and was supported by mbava so it’s not easy to avoid kuba and corruption. Look what happened to bushiri it’s the same corruption which forces him to be at a bad side. Chakwera must stop nepotism and procteting thieves in their party.
Kulankhula kosapysatira nkona ine ndimawakonda akatolikawa. Adamuuza Kamuzu zoona koma Manjamkhosi adti tiwakodzera ma Bishop. Zidathera kuti? Zaka 26 Congress iri kuseri kwa mpanda. Mphukusi la moyo sasungirana. Bishop walankhula, wakumva wamva, uyo anyozere adzanong’oneza yekha bondo.
Chakwera is a captured president. He is clueless and very inept. This country is doomed.
Anthu akumpoto mmangoyankhula mokhadzula bwanji? Anzanu a CCAP Livingstonia Synod chimodzimodzi. Anyway we are praying for u Bishop Mtumbuka to be the next Archbishop of Lilongwe. Pofunikatu koma kuthamangathamanga otherwise ukudutsani or mupezeka muli Archbishop wa Blantyre a Msusa nkubwera kuLilongwe. Ndiye ndawerenga penapake kuti ma priest a Blantyre, Zomba, Mangochi & Chikwawa dioceses ndiwovuta malemu Ziyaye anakakhala mboni.
Gudluck zabwino zones Ambuye!
The Bishop is your best friend Mr President. We have noticed with sadness that while you really wish this country well you have been trapped in a web of political rights and wrongs. You are eager to please the MCP group and alliance partners who joined you from other parties instead of becoming a Mungufuli and clean up the dirt both inside and outside. By this time your friend Bingu had already started showing signs of strong leadership and had gotten rid of chaff like Dumbo lemani and friends. You are a man of God so remember God loves sinners but he will throw them into hell because of the sin in them. Listen to the Bishop with sober mind.
Emeeeeeeeee 🌹🕯️🙏🏾
Chakwela kuchosa title ya Ubusa pa sanitation yake is enough evidence that Chakwela is no longer working under guidance of God’s leadership.
Dont waste time with stupid things. This is Chakwera government and we dont care what you stupid catholic say. We won this government through a hard way and it is our time to enjoy.
The bishop’s caution is true, man, for any sensible person who is able to read the current state of affairs. I think it’s you who is very stupid and dull, how dare you call a man of God stupid? I am not catholic but I can’t contain myself somebody writing such trash like yours to a man of God, you must be cursed!
Nkhani. The corruption syndicate orchestrated by top politicians be wiped out. Selective justice ruins the fight against corruption. The Tonse alliance has a lot of filthy politicians whose past is reeking with crimes. Where are they for a parade in the court of law? Eeeyaaaa Robert Chasowa Vwaza land sale let’s rework on the recycled dudes these dogs never saved Malawi from the DPP system they saved themselves from an individual past stinking with horrible crimes. Bishop Mtumbuka use every available opportunity to remind the government that she is a guardian of God’s people our welfare is the implementation of all campaign promises not approving self enriching raises in cheques at the expense of the masses
Mtumbuka you are a useless priest..u shod walk the talk. u are busy protecting ur priests
One Father Chinula impregnated Petros Chingokas wife in Karonga..u are aware of this and to date u have not disciplined the priest.
.U are protecting him since he gets u concubines..ease walk the talk.
O,oh! Potelepa ngakhale Dr.Hastings Kazumu ndaBa sakanapezekapo chifukwa sankapanga nawo zaphada

Masangwi,Joice Banda and many many shealded.
Bola zimveke…otherwise nothing is changing. Those who are arrested are from opposition camp while those doing corruption in current administration are protected… Zikusiyana chiyani ndi boma lapita lija?…anthu awa ndi amodzi.
Tell this “matako akana pansi” he is arrogant
Thank you Bishop Mutumbuka, ife tikanena akuti ndife ma cadet. Is Bishop Mutumbuka a cadet? If a high respected figure speaks against in the presence of Chakwela himself, means already Malawi is a failed state under Chakwela leadership. Chakwela is the first president in the history of Malawi to be condemned within six months of his leadership, shame!!!!
I like reading your posts. However recently I have observed lots of unnecessary mistakes. For example, in this post Bishop Mtumbuka can not be addressed as “His Grace” which is meant for the Archibishop only. It should have been “His Lordship.”
zoziwa nokha izi. Kaya ndi Grace kaya Mary kaya Georgina, Kaya mwati Lordship sitikumvapo kanthu.
The Tonse train in derailing faster than I thought they would. Soon demos are coming. It will be hell by 2020
Posachedwapa abwela ndi yawo yija ati clean malawi kudzatsetsa pamandapo.
Sakudziwa ntchito yawo amenewo nkana akumaphangila ntchito za ma unduna a eni ake.
Shame on malawi
Useless Tumbuka Bishops.
You Tumbukas were in the forefront spearheading oyster of APM because he was a Southerner.
And you Mtumbuka is a hardcore tribalist. You religiously hate other ethnicities ndiye ukunama chiyani munthu oyipa ndi nkhope yomwe iwe.
And Bishop mnzako wafayo Ziyaye anali watsankho heavy amakonda a Chewa okhaokha ansembe.
Mungoti mwayambapo campaign ya mu Katolika mnzanu Chilima ya 2025 paja ma Bishop nonse ndinu ma Trustees a UTM.
Some of this advice….! The president has to enjoy with the people that financially supported him. If he cannot appease and reward the people who gave him money, clothes, fuel, airtime, etc…even God will punish him. It is his time and his supporters time to enjoy the fruits of their sweat. He has to shield his friends. That’s called honour.
Bishop Mtumbuka please keep on advising Lazaro. Your observations are just right . Lazaro is practicing an appeasement type of leadership . Look at his cabinet is full of corrupt guy so like Mkaka, Chimwendo who go in town to solicit money from Indians in the name of Chakwera himself. Look at the cross roads Saga where millions of Malawian cash went into the pockets of some of his own front line staff . Look at the promises Lazaro made to poor Christians that he will allow us to buy cheaper fertilizer but today we are sleeping at selling points day in and day out . Where is the duty free week? What about cheap passports? What about free and electricity water connections ? The list is endless . I rest my case
Ntumbuka is talking to Chakwea with respect unlike the rude way he used to talk to APM. Chakwera should be told that he is misleading this country. The whole state house is full of relatives and party cronies.
Bishop Mtumbuka, Chakwera would never listen to the faithfuls. You will agree with me what will happen with the much expected Cabinet Reshuffle. There will be full of families again. It’s a shame that Chakwera has already lost direction.
Utsi siufuka popanda moto. Dzivere Muntolo. Kenako adzalembera kalata. Idzawerengedwa Malawi yonse.
Too late. Politics of appeasement has already taken root
Under Chakwera Malawi is already a failed state. We have seen MCP members who break the law being protected
Problem with tonse alliance is over promises. They didn’t know exactly what they were taking over and because 9f that they came in without adequate preparation. At this stage I would urge chakwera to appoint Peter mutharika as a consultant or senior advisor up to such a time chakwera learns to handle the ropes. We shall know chakwera is ready when he stops over promises and at the time apm can be paid out.
Typical malawian talk, always circumventing the truth instead of hitting the point. Everybody knows the current leadership has failed in many ways. We wait for a chance to vent our anger at a totally inappropriate gathering. People are in a mourning state then from the blues you choose to chip in politics, noooo!!
Juma (Muvi Wa Chilungamo) presenter yesterday said, “Mwana wamatewe amadziwikiratu pobadwa”. What evidence or sign do we need in order to tell that Tonse Alliance was born with rickets, which possibly would require professional expertise to reconstruct the spiral legs? It is hightime we learnt to call a spade a spade.
In nature we are told that “Respect can not be purchased” – one is respected based on the manner they carry themselves around and have the expected integrity, trust, resolute, natural attributes, qualifications/experience etc. If one of those elements is missing then expect problems. Even in a family if the parent promises their kid a packet of sweets, then they come back from work empty handed, will the child have faith in such parents? Tikapitiliza kudyekana nyama ya galu ndiye kuti chilungamo chasowa, mapeto ache ulemu usowanso. Those who are given a chance to be mouth pieces of the underprivileged, please don’t mince words, because doing so is a huge disservice to us plebians. If non-performance is seen say so with the hope that reparations may be applied. Remember, this is land belonging to everyone called Malawian and the finances to run such land is contributed by everyone through taxation, period. Palibe zoopsyezana ngati tili mu chipani chimodzi – there has to be a fair distribution of the ‘National Cake’.
