The veteran controversial politician said he has got wind of the death rumours.
Chakuamba said he started receiving lots of phone calls from people asking if he was alright.
He laughed and said: ‘When did I die and where?'”
“I am receiving treatment and alive. It’s not funny and totally disrespectful to make up a story like this,” he said.

Those who wishes others bad samalani God can even take you before the one you think about.
Let us learn to respect our elders, yes he might have made serious mistakes here and there, but Honourable Gwandanguluwe Chakuamba Phiri, has spent most of his life serving his country tirelessly and patriotically. I salute him.
chete at No. 11. i think u missed the point. y all this off track comment? did Chakuamba brag about that he will not die? wakuuza kuti akuyankha mwathamo? i think u r a man with bad attitude. At nchalo recently, Chakuamba even said that his days r numbered. how can he then claim now that he won’t die?

Santana @ 10 ….if you are an imbecile with hearing problem like your master APM please do not show it here.

“Paliani”, full of nonsense, here anyway!!!!! Asa!!!!!
So, Joshua’s prophesy was about Zuma? Did Joshua tell you that, personally, or that is your own personal interpretation?
Man/Woman, you are so gullible! Unbelievable, especially in 2016.
The problem with these so-called Prophets’ forecasts is that they are so general; never specific to pin down. That is how these prophets get hold of people like you by the short hairs (or mach…nde, in Chichewa.) You are really hooked, aren’t you?
