Callista to sue Wa Jeffrey, DPP over defamatory slurs on Bingu death
Former First Lady Callista Mutharika —widow of Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) founding president and the incumbent President’s elder brother Bingu — says she is consulting her legal team to sue the ruling DPP secretary general Grazider Jeffrey and her party for defamation and character assassination.
Callista said she could not believe that Jeffrey would link her to the death of former president Bingu wa Mutharika, an allegation she made in the presence of President Peter Mutharika, brother to Bingu.
“I am very sad. I am very sad. I cant believe this. There are courts in this country, let the law take its course,” she said.
Callista last week made a frantic apology to Malawians for marketing her brother in law for presidency in 2014 but has turned out to be a great disappointment, saying he lacks leadership skills.
In retaliation, Jeffrey alleged Callista was plotting to kill her in-law as she allegedly killed Bingu.
She wondered for how long Malawi could go on with mudslinging politics.
Jeffrey’s remarks was the recent conspiracy theory by DPP thrown about to satisfy people’s curiosity regarding Bingu’s sudden death.
during a memorial service in honour of Bingu in 2015, Cabinet Minister Kondwani Nankhumwa alleged that Bingu’s deputy at the time, Joyce Banda, had a hand in, if not the mastermind of, a plot to murder Mutharika.
A commission of inquiry instituted by former president Joyce Banda into Mutharika’s death concluded he died from cardiac arrest. Foul play was never a factor, unless one counts the lack of medical apparatus at the State House as a strand of a murder plot.
Mutharika, 78, though pronounced dead at the hospital, was flown to South Africa. But the plane was also delayed by almost four hours because , according to several sources, the pilot from South Africa refused to fly a corpse.
In 2013, when Banda was State President, she accused the Malawi media of killing Mutharika due to their “unprofessional conduct”. She said something to the effect: “Do you want to kill me like you killed Bingu wa Mutharika?”
However, Callista said she will not let the DPP gurus to be accusing her of bumping Bingu off the face of the earth without seeking legal redress.
Commentators says politicians should not waste time with that vexatious issue: Who really killed Bingu, if at all someone did? They argue that they should just let his soul rest in peace, which he couldn’t find in his last days on earth as he had an indifferent international community to contend with; on the home front, a belligerent civil society was issuing him ultimatums to resign or face the consequences.
Callista sparked the succession debate weeks ago, when she said her in-law, who is 79, should pave the way for the comparatively younger vice-president Saulos Chilima, 45.
The Chilima Movement has attracted DPP senior members that have come in the open to demand Mutharika must step down and pave the way for Chilima in the May 2019 elections include Mulanje West legislator Patricia Kaliati, who is also director of women in the party, DPP Blantyre City East legislator Noel Masangwi, who is also the party’s executive member, national director of youth Louis Ngalande and DPP Mulanje South legislator Bon Kalindo.
Others are Blantyre City South MP Allan Ngumuya, Mwanza legislator Paul Chibingu, DPP director of logistics Dr Ben Chidyaonga and others.

I am looking at the list of MPs who are pushing in Chilima for presidency…..Gosh, all from the South, the master bedroom of DPP. What does this mean for the party?
I am also suing akweni for labeling JB a typist donkey years ago.
Kufuna kubatu uku Callista
Mbuli za DPP, calista has never insulted the President rather wishing him a good retirement instead of being humiliated. It is those beasts surrounding him like the Jeff wa Jeff who are expecting Peter to die a sudden death due to pressure and old age. Nkhani ili yapa ndi chidandaulo chonena kuti Jeff apeleke umboni womwe alinawo kukhudza kuti Callister ndiye anapha Bingu. Musalowetsemo nkhani ya za uhule womwe anthu onse a ndale amachita iyo ndi nkhani ina, mu ndale ngati alipo wochita bwino kusakhudzidwa ndi mchitidwe wa uhule, mwina atha kukhala munthu mmodzi out of 100. Jeff ndi hule lotha ntchito lomwe limanamizila kuti limapemphera ndikuchita za ubusa panthawi yomwe anali concubine wa a Chilumpha.
Please can’t you play a clean politics? For how long we will be fighting. Tell us your manifesto then we are going to see if that’s what we want.
But fighting mmmm
That’s the way to go Calista teach the bitch a lesson. ….
Now I can understand that Greseder Jeofrey is not a politician she doesnt weight her speech
Calista is frustated lot. Have you forgotten how you insulted Joyce Banda. Did she take you to Court . Wakwatira kwa Mphenzi saopa kung’anima. Akuyalutsa anthu sunati ndipo ulira kuti ng’weee!!!!!! Iweyo umafuna kulanda chuma cha wana a Late Bingu and you are now disppaointed that your inlaw sakuchiatapo kanthu.
Mukayambitse chipani chanu ndi Saulosi muyambe kampeni yanu osati kuwumulira chipani cha DPP chimene mtsogoleri wake has five years constitutional mandate to rule Malawi
Nkhani ndi yoti a Mayiwa anamanidwa udindo. Malawians look at the root course of the issue. Kunyoza pulezidet yes its a crime. It is there in the constitution. Za chilamu zisakhudze dziko ayi. A Kalisita akufuna adyerere motani. Hule ndi chonchotu
umusumire jefrey anamusiya chilumpha chifukwa cha
Go ahead Calista and sue this stupid woman Wa Jeff.This is not politics but personal thing.I am think and tired of this Wa Jeff every day as if she is the only woman politician in Malawi.She must learn how to tame her tongue
Callista is right let Gef have her day in court
Game tembenu. Callista is the leader of the women insulting other women crusade. Please someone go dig videos of how Callista was castigating JB when she was married to Bingu, You are the one who came up with Mandasi woman. In other words she doesn’t think highly of women who toil everyday feeding their families selling mandasi. Noone should cry foul about this woman being insulted. Weren’t you the one getting JB’s portfolios from her when she was VP and you were just first lady. Vuto kukonda kupatsidwa ma udindo. This lady even inuslted the whole of Malawi when we were suffering from fuel shortages amvekere “anthu akumidzi don’t need fuel” She even got paid for doing charity work.
She brought enemity between Bingu and JB. She is doing the same now between Peter and Chilima. There’s sense in what the SG said.
Felix , wrong English is not an insult. You always speak brocken English . What you have to know is that Calisita has lost her mind. We know what she has been doing with Nchilims in private more than what you know. Look at this Ngymuya misapplying the Bible as if he is clean. Check his background you will be disappointed to find that he run away from his wife leaving her suffering with children in USA and married another woman be rcsuse great thinks being an mp he has reached heaven. All supporting Nchilima are brain dwafs Don’t respond to this uona maliodza
In a democracy country you support what you want.What crime does Calista committed by supporting Chilima?Mind you,she is not someone who is just a hand clapper even if something went wrong like you.Being a Sister In-law does not mean that she must support him any wrong doings?She is a principled woman who stands by the truth
@LEGO:
@Boma Boma Peter’tu wanena kuti don’t respond to this, otherwise uwona malodza.
Azimayi awiri wa ngofanana kupanda khalidwe. Asiyeni anyetsane
By openly challenging her in-law Peter against his VP Chilima instead of doing that behind scenes without even consulting within the party Callista has created a fertile ground for herself political torture and has to expect more of these insults and cannot go on suing everybody,will end up wearing out.
An allegation is more serious than an insult. Bing’s death was a mystery and by pointing somebody as the causer contrary to the findings of the commission of enquiry, Graizider has put herself as a witness to the mysgery surrounding Bingu’s death and the court are of interest to hear her side of the story. She has committed herself. That’s not an iault but an allegation
Sue the bitch maybe she can learn to censor her mouth…She did this with the blessing of alamuwo
That’s the way to go Callista these uneducated politicians must learn to respect others. Your legal team should move with speed there is a case to answer here. For those saying that Callista insulted the president, please consulted your educated friends. A lohmwe azanga, saying that a person can’t rule because he is old is not an insult.
Actually it is helping thwe old man to peaceful days of his old age on earth but the old man can’t see. Hia eyes are blinded by the Graiziders, Chapondas, Nankhumwas and all these beast aregetting agog by see Muthalika’s arrogance to stand again because they think they will continue molesting the public purse…cursed beasts…their days are numbered…
The first part should read ‘Instead of helping the old man’
,t
Sue the bitch!! She is just another brute!
Stupid woman – you insulted us during Bingu’s time. Did we suse you? Fotseki
and how did she do that? you are the one insulting with your English… its Sue not “SUSE”

plz pple stop bringing Bingu in your political fighting, do your campaigns in a different way plz.Do not remind us the symphatic way Bingu died,do not reminds us that his kids are orphans,do not remind us that his wife is a widow,plz pple say something not this.Enafe sitichedwa kulila
Rubbish July 2011 has more orphans and widows than April 2012 tears for the dead should weigh more on the multiple deaths of July 2011 When it comes down to selling political mandasi Callista has met her match in Jeffrey both have a way around words that are highly inflammatory. Look at the speeches by Callista from the moment she saw the JB ascendancy she rubbished her using her “first lady” position to demonise whoever crossed her path she now is in the cold she is busy courting buying sympathy by her empty apologies an evil woman!!! Malawi is a focused nation
Kkkk talirani timve
Calisita you are an idiot. You have to be sued for indulting the president that he is too old to rule the country. You think politics is an easy game. How many of you have dented the image of Peter to begin with you gooludh woman.
Be careful someone is also ready to sue you for what you did last year.
Kagwere uko. Don’t go into the boxing ring if you don’t know boxing
Koma zoopya,politics..a Jeffrey
Am watching you
Calista, sue her for K70 billion so that she doesn’t eat what she wants to steal from govt through the same courts
