Catholic priest Chiuta reportedly shamed for having romantic fun with staff

October 27, 2018 Nyasa Times Reporter 37 Comments

A Catholic priest Rev. Fr. Charles Mukhalira Chiuta Dhlovu of the Mzuzu Diocese in Malawi, has been criticized after a picture of him getting comfortable with his staff at Chikale Beach in Nkhata-Bay emerged.

A priest has inspired negative opinion when a picture of him at a beach emerged. He was captured alongside a female staff who was dressed for leisure.

The clergyman is captured at the shore of  Chikale beach with a lady identified as Grace Mwiwa – one of his working staff at a church community radio station called Tigabane in the city Mzuzu.

Both are captured in cosy outfits as they attended a beach party organized by the church.

“It’s very embarrassing I tell you. The Father might have forgotten his law of celibacy. The way he was holding and touching the lady in the water, it appears they are madly in love,” said one woman who did not want her name to be disclosed.

The  staff who is a presenter at the church’s media platform might have received a recent boost in her career due to her relationship with the priest.

Workers at the station have been complaining of going for months without pay and a meagre honorarium saying the father uses the money meant for running the station for his own personal benefits.

  1. madala ingokwatirani other than kutentha mtima; Mulungu anapereka banja mukudzizunziranji ndikumanamiza anthu pamene mukuyenda njira zachinyengo!!!

    1. And most likely there were beers there. Catholics don’t feel ashamed with this behaviour. Is it part of their doctrine or what? After Mulaga/mphakati prayers they drink beers aaaah. Shame!

  3. The name of the radio station summarized it well. Tigabane. The church doctrine teaches that “muzonse, tizigawana”. So what do you expect?

  4. Yes theres nothing wrong for this priest to touch a woman who is part of his staff. But honnestly this priesthood thing is a high office that needs respect every where as you need to show/ be exemplary to all people without doubt ir questions. Jesus some are arguing he touched a woman, was he semi naked then? Well why do we have swimming suits then? This is a lamp that needs to shine and salt of the world. To me its a shameful thing for him to be semi naked touch a woman like that. Ulemu palibepo apa. Mabuzi amayambila pa mimba kumamka kupansiku osamaiwala akuluakulufe iya!

  5. There is nothing wrong with a priest organizing a beach party for his staff and those people were having fun just like all of us do at the lake. Should we say that most of these pastors don’t do that. It could be totally wrong if the priest had gone to the lake with that lady only but he had all the staff. It is also absolutely wrong to suggest that because some priests are failing to keep their celibacy law, otherwise they should not join the priesthood life because they know celibacy issue before they join.

  6. WAMSEMBEYU ANAPITA KUNYANJA NDI STAFF YONSE NDIPO IZI AMACHITA PACHISANGALALO PAGULU OSATI KUMBALI. KODI INU MUMAYEMBEKEZA KUTI AKAJAMBULITSE KUNYANJAKO ATAVALA MKANJO NDIPO BAIBULO LILI M’MANJA? KODI “CELIBACY” MUKUINENAYO IMALETSA KUJAMBULITSA CHITHUNZI NDI MKAZI KAPENA KUMUGWIRA MKAZI PAPHEWA? NGATI MTSIKANAYO ALI MAHOPU ANU NJIRA YAKE YOMUWINIRA SIIMENEYI. MWAGWA NAYO. ‼️‼️‼️

  7. People, let us be serious, for a change. Did you expect the Reverend Father to swim with his Cassock?

    It is this kind of, unnecessary and undeserved, reporting that is discouraging many of our young people from joining the life of the Religious.

    Let us not destroy lives by peddling hatred, under the guise of journalistic licence.

    I ask the author to do better, next time.

    Peace, and God bless.

  9. People should be what they chose to be. If they want to change tell the world in the way they did at the beginning of their carrier. Nobody has a right to stop someone’s thinking. Some priests are actually dying and the cause of their death is actually HIV/ AIDS. Anyway, Malawi is a non God fearing country.

  10. Maybe the priest is not in love or he did not want to show for obvious reasons, but looking at a picture, clearly the girl is in love.

  11. This story does not make sense. All of you were at the lake, not that the two were there by themselves. And as you swim together somebody took this photo. Somebody is witchhunting the other. This is my conclusions. However, I know how it is to live among anthu otchedwa opemphera. Amangolumikiza chirichonse for the sake of looking holy than awowo. Funani china chokamba.

  12. My comment is simple let the Catholic head honchos allow the priests to marry. I think most of them accept celibacy as a way of making career out of priesthood but their bodies speak a manly language. No harm in getting married and when you cheat you will be out of line. Go for it you will take pictures by the beach without looking over your shoulders. Catholic fathers are human but don’t use double standards

  16. Palibe nkhani apa. The lady doesn’t know how to swim. The Rev Fr is teaching her the breast stroke…

  19. Nyasa Reporter should have gotten to the bottom of the story. I am also a private detective but this is what happened:
    In January 2018, the former director of the radio was relieved of his duties. The new director took over the reins of the radio. On this material day, the staff had a party at Chikale Beach. Those who could swim took turns in posing for pictures in the water.
    Of late, the administration of the new director has been marred by poor governance and favoritism for the female staff e.g. Grace and an accountant. This way of administering has been angering the male staff. The male staff decided to embarrass their boss who hugely is alleged to be in relation with this lady presenter/personal secretary.

    1) You men in colar be very careful the way you relate with people. You ashame yourselves by your un suspecting innocence..
    2) Is this fit to be a news item? I wonder! item started circulating on 20/10/2018 and a week later it is in the papers, outdated news
    3) Cook well your news in order to be credible

  20. Inu a Moya wansembe uti who treats a girl, in scanty clothing, in water for that matter, as a daughter? Have Catholic Priests daughters now?

  21. Ngati ndi zoona ichi ndi Chitsiru cha wansembe. Osangosiya unsembewo ngati nyele zavuta. These are the people who are diluting the Catholic Church values. Galu ameneyu. Watichititsa manyazi.

  24. World wide this Church is known to have been involved in immorality and the Church leadership covers it at any cost. In Africa, Malawi in particular catholic priests take advantage of the vulnerability of young girls and boys and abuse them sexually. Hell on them! Take account of children born from Catholic priests. They are in hundred and thousands of them. Suppose this girl had a boyfriend to marry what will happen now. Shame on the Church and the Priest!. In the west this is worth news and the abusers are investigated and tried. Here in Malawi they are praised and protected.

  25. Am I the only catholic who is not surprised with this kind of stuff? I bet, yes! Most Malawian catholics look at a priest as an ‘angel’. I used to think that way when I was young, now I even think twice before contributing money to church. One of them got a hand in albino killing (Father). I wouldnt confess to any priest

  26. The father looks at her like her own daughter inuyo mukowona this picture with ur evil dirty mind and thinking beyond what the father is doing, the picture doesn’t say all what u are writing give us other pictures or evidence that is incriminating then we will judge him accordingly but kodi being a father does it mean he can’t associate or have fun with females co workers or friends? He can only not sleep with them. So tiwonenseni picture ali ku room limodzi or else palibe nkhani apa.

  27. Wasting your precious time in writing this nonsense. It’s clear that another member of staff was taking the picture. Malawians let’s focus our attention on real things please

  28. This is another Rev Billy Gama of Bt CCAP. Their churches do nothing to descipline such idiots. Church members, please wake and denounce such ungodly tendencies if churches are to retain their respect. Or castrate such pastors once and for all

    1. Billy Gama’s case, whatever that is, is mutually inexclusive to Charlie’s. There is no reason to drag another man into somebody else’s dirty laundry, Chatonga. Are you implying that church members are asleep, I mean, everybody, thanks to the “Gedion Bible Society” has access to sacred scripture. Everybody knows the truth, it’s up to them to decide on whether to live by the laws laid out by their creator or not. If you are so mad at such behaviour, you purchased an airtel internet bundle, I am pretty sure you can afford Knife. Buy one, go around and castrate the so called “such pastors’.

      Back to the journalist, I am going to find out who you are and I will dig up dirt on you and put you on blast, to level the playing field. I’ve got the time and money once I return to Dublin from my vacation in Cairo. It’s beautiful out here, I doubt you’ll ever come here but by luck, if you get money, the pyramids are a sight of wonder.

      Stop trying to destroy people’s lives by posting nonsense. This is just a story for you, more like an assignment at varsity, “you write, submit and get it off your back” but it is not a picnic for the guy at the other end. Not that I really care personally but give the guy a break, you buffoon. It’s just a picture. oh! and another thing, the radio station employees have proper channels to resolve disputes their employer. There’s clearly somebody coming after the priest or you’re just a “low life”.

  29. Get off your moral high horse you pathetic excuse of a journalist, let the priest be, just because you can’t get girls you wanna kill everybody’s buzz…smh…not cool, dude…not cool, get a life. Go out and do some real journalism, maybe you’ve got a chance of being somebody “which is highly unlikely”…but what do i know….in fact, you should commend priest guy for going after mature consenting persons and not underage boys as such nasty ungodly behaviour is rife among esteemed catholic robe wearing dudes.

  30. in my opinion taking a photo with a lady doesn’t mean anything. looking closely at the photo i feel there is nothing romantic.

    2. It is rediculuos for someone to comment bogusly on the picture, there is nothing wrong ,Malawians are still in darkness the damn papalaza didn’t think properly by posting this kind of photo just to tarnish the image of the priest and that innocent lady..We can’t develop in our country because jealousy is killing us.
