Callista: Bingu wa Mutharika had good taste indeed

June 2, 2020 Nyasa Times Reporter 30 Comments

President Peter Mutharika Mutharika has said his brother former president late Bingu wa Mutharika had a good taste in terms of women he dated and indeed it proves as when his first his first wife, Ethel, died, he married pretty Callista Mutharika on April 17 2010.

Callista: I did not hesistate to accept Bingu’s proposal
Bingu wa Mutharika (L) and his  Callista walk under a millitary sword saluteby officers of the Malawi army  after their wedding ceremony at Civo stadium in Lilongwe on April 17, 2010.

Bingu’s widow Callista is still looking gorgenous as a former first lady.

Their wedding  had all the Hollywood pomp and splendour,  with Callista  dressed in white and on the procession vehicles which included multi million kwacha Chrysler 300 limousine and several E-class Mercedes Benz.

Peter  Mutharika famously said “you will never walk alone Callista” during Bingu’s funeral in 2012 but later broke ranks with her when the former first lady was  embroiled in a fight with her stepchildren over deceased estate including  ownership of the opulent Casa Blanca Manor at Ndata Farm in Thyolo.

Callista later stirred debate among Malawians when she  said Vice-President Saulos Chilima would be a better candidate to lead the governing Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) in the May 21 2019 Tripartite Elections and take over from her brother-in-law.

With strong resistance from DPP gurus to have Chilima as the party’s torchbearer in May 21 Tripartite Elections, the ‘Chilima Movement’ was born and later Chilima launched the United Transformation Movement (UTM).

  1. Nothing wrong with APM remarks. Za mowa zinachitika 2004/5 all this time she swept it under carpet. As a leader she was supposed to dwell on issues why we should vote for TA. Those wishing to write outside go ahead. They will come down to substantiate your reasons. They check on time: campaign period. Who started it all? What was your remark after her first utterance? Remained silent now you want to gain cheap popularity. You thought he was dead: NO! He was hearing everything and was entitled to respond!!!

    1. Mukamalembera kunjako mutchulenso kuti ananunyozanso za Cashgate ndi ndege ndi uhulewo.

  2. But how ru defining taste. Remember that men don’t only go for nice looks, good character is another key consideration. Many men regret for choosing gud looking spouses some of whom eventually offered them no peace at all. Let us not look at life choices as kids. The article should have embraced some maturity, do not misunderstand me that am saying all nice looking women cause trouble.

  3. I am not a fan of either one of them but as a senior citizen it is my conviction that both should not have said what they said during a political rally- more so that amai had been a president and abambo is still the president of this country

    You remember what Ben Phiri did to Shanil? Do you remember how SKC handled Atupele. SKC told Atupele to shut up or he SKC would reveal something about him Atupele. This is how Peter should have responded to JB but because of the fear factor………….

  5. Ngati olo pa mowa pamakhala kulalatilana koopysa mpamene hule wayambana ndi chiledzelele…or the other way round…amadziwana

  6. Looks and u madeya are two completely different businesses. Those of us who have known Callista since as a Secretary at Bunda in the 1970s till now will authoritatively tell you that she is another opportunistic hule of madeya proportions.

  7. Kodi Joyce siuja Patricia Shanil anamubweza ndi cake yake pagate ku Sanjika?Siameneyu?Patricia anawona chani?

  8. Koma zeze mmene mwanyozera mzimayiyu muli ndi mayi?muli ndi ana?Linda madzi apite,
    We’re all created equal in God’s eye,but we let the devil to rule us,please don’t ever say that again,Joyce was wrong in saying Peter is a drunkard,likewise Peter was wrong to say joyce is a prostitute,two wrongs don’t make a right.

  9. Holywood pomp and splendour? my foot – at least in Holywood, they don’t nick their money from the poor – they earn it!!!! Mumanamizana kumeneko

    1. I agree bro, lets compare Bingu and Pitala, zikuonetseratu kuti Bingu had good taste. Bingu sanatenge manyaka ngati mchimwene wakeyu olo kuona mafana ma looks a Bingu ngooneka bwino.

  11. Don’t put words into Callista’s mouth. The headline clearly shows the author’s opinion, not Callista’s as I do not see anywhere in the story where she is attesting to assertion by Peter.

  12. A prostitute should know better that one can’t insult a drunkard and hope the so called drunkard keeps quiet. Drunkards always respond its in their nature to do so, especially where in the drunkard’s conclusion their attacker is a prostitute.

    But on this article, I think apm had to side with his brothers kids from a 40yr marriage, I mean you would all do the same. So apm did right.

    1. Abiti Ntila asafune public sympathy. The way I know hules of madeya type are so rough. Just listen to the audio. Phuma lakelo as if she had just finished doing the act. Mai wa akanakhala chete bwenzi akualandila ulemu. A Malawi tikuvutika chifukwa cha cashgate. Ndege anagulitsa. Akanangobwera kwathu kuno kwa che Malemia kuno ku Domasi kumadzalowetsa ma unamwali a atsikana a nsondo. Paja amati ukavala nsaza usamadumphe moto. Tsonotu Joyce ali ndi nsaza zambiri. Asamale. A hule can’t insult a drunkard and expect a smile in return. By the way, I think Zeze was the most humiliated. How can JB insult drunkards when the chief drunkard Zeze, whose blood in his alcohol is few, is around?

  14. The problem we have is we think others can go and insult others in public and we clap hands for them. It was not right for Joyce Banda to call Peter drunkered, that was wrong. Now he turns and cella’s her names too and we say he has insulted women. Did Joyce not insult men too. Mbuzi ikagunda galu nkumati Pauline boutonnières , koma agate galu abwerezere nkumati wachiwewe iphani. Ndi umodzi wa mwambi tingalumikize kumeneko. Me are suffering a lot from hands of women and the society sees nothing wrong. Men to have rights.

    1. kkkkkk and this reminds me about what JB said against Callista when she stood as an independent candidate when she failed in primaries. JB during her campaign when she was a VP under Bingu regime used to call Callista hule, “Eeee kuno kukumabwera wina kudzapangitsa misonkhano ati akufuna mpando wa u MP amayi ndi bambo musamuvotere hule limene lija”. Ndiye sanadziwe kuti wotayidwa mwala unayesedwa wa pangodya. In a twist of events when she(Callista) lost the seat then Bingu married her and became the first lady. It was this time when Callista anayamba kubweza kwa JB hence enemity rose between Bingu and JB.

  16. Now the simple question is that him Peter Mutharika does he have that good taste he is talking about???? An 82 yr old man cant think what to say and what not to say???? The problem is Malawians, they clap hands yet someone is spewing out a load of bull manure.

    1. Gogo nzeru n’chimutu muja zinatha ngati mano n’kamwa. He’s better off quarantining or even better in a care home. And like you mentioned, Malawians (thick ones mostly) will sadly clap hands to such foolish statements.

    2. Bwanawe u r right koma dont blame APM but we as malawians. SKC anati wosamawombera mmanja ziri zonse zomwe atsogoleri anganene koma yemweyo SKC amayima pa msonkhano ndikulankhulanso zopanda nzeru and yet nkumamuwombera mmanja. So ndi matenda aakulu afunika achiritsidwe ndithu

      1. Chakwera sayenda nawo kugulutu amayi. She is too ugl* she can discourage voters. Bola Gertrude amayenda kugulu atavala ndekesha.
