Chakwera says Malawi governed by educated fools, urges for genuine transformative leadership
Malawi opposition leaders Lazarous Chakwera has maintained his call for genuine transformative leadership grounded in moral foundations for Malawi to develop, saying currently there are a lot of “educated fools” in political leadership.
Chakwera made the remarks at Transformation Alliance (TA) convention on Friday in Blantyre.
The Malawi Congress Party (MCP) president urged for transformation leadership and the need to come up with a National Development Plan.
“What we continue to lack is transformational leadership that is not defined by region, tribe or age. Leadership is not measured by education. We have a lot of educated fools in the country’s political leadership. What we need is to know who we are, where we are and where we want to be. Not mediocrity and politics of appeasement,” he stated.
He said the country should ensure it adopt a culture of integrity and desist from wrongful self enrichment.
Chakwera, 62, said he believes he has unique competencies, charisma and character that can more fully represent the new face of hope and the future that Malawians long for.
He said Malawi needs esthe kind of transformational leadershipto stir her from the seeming vicious cycle of mediocrity, corruption, nepotism and politics of subsistence to high levels of excellence, integrity, unity and abundance for all not only the few.
Chakwera also questioned the continued use of public broadcaster for propaganda.
Chakwera credentials
Chakwera, who comes from Lilongwe, holds a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Malawi; Bachelor of Theology (Hons) from University of the North, Sovenga, South Africa; Master of Theology from University of South Africa and a PhD from Trinity International University in USA.

Santana, I think I should join others to educate you about Chakwera. Chakwera is still a child of God and powerful preacher of the gospel even now. Failing to become State President in 2014, does not mean God is angry with him. God is just preparing him on the mantle he is about to carry come 2019. In fact , its ” we”we Malawians who have faced the wrath of God for entrusting Mutharika at the expense of His child. We have witnessed floods, hunger, collapsing economy, worst corruption, bloodshed of innocent souls, and many more. All this should serve as a lesson to Malawians. Chakwera is the only hope for Malawi with no history of corruption and bloodshed.
Malawi could become a mess if Malawians could vote for any other leader other than Chakwera.
We have known that Chakwera is also educated fool. Otherwise as the leader of opposition he is also running the govt. which comprise of executive, legistrative and judiciary. and that he is one of the fools dont vote for him.
Malawians knows that Malawi is ruled by educated idiots. It is a shame because They cimplained when Muluzi ruled calling him Un educated. Look now. Two brothers educated Malawi is not doping well. Divide the nation in trivs and region which makes difficult for Malawians from other parts where the leader dos not come biter and makes the nation not tog unite. AT least Muluzi United the nation. Why educated Africans are not like other races? What is the meaning of education? The nation need educated citizens for development that They are helping US with aid to educated US in high education like master degree and PHD.
Mr Kaitano, the better way of correcting the govt is not only by being on the seat of state president. Chakwera could still contribute and correct govt while still a pastor. We have good examples in M’busa Ndabaningi Sithole and Bishop Abel Muzolewa both in Zimbabwe. Despite the many blunders and atrocities by Comrade Mugabe, they never abandoned God to vie for Mugabe’s political seat. We have Desmond Tutu in South Africa who despite being vocal against Apertheid he never thought of joining politics even after the blacks started ruling. It is common knowledge that when you present your voice as a man of God the msg is received with respect and fear than doing so while in a political mantle.
Mr Kaitano, what Jamax is saying giving Jonah’s example is the whole truth. Jonah repented and continued with what God told him to do. The failure of Chakwera in 2014 would have given him a wakeup call that God has not accepted his prayers for a presidential seat. Of all the 2014 presidential candidates it was Chakwera who had all the hope that he was going to win the elections. I thought he would be quick to retract his political ambitions but here he is still talking unpalatable words from the mouth which was once producing verses from the Holy Book. Chakwera is a curse Mr Kaitano. That is why you can see that up to now MCP has not found a strategy to win the 2019 elections. The party is basing its win on an individual (Mia) who doesn’t even have a party to make an alliance with. Chakwera is fighting to battles and God is not helping him in either battles. Fighting government and a fight against fellow MCP members.
Mr Kaitano you are telling Santana that Chakwera is the eyes of God. If God has His eyes in Chakwera, then He better be blind. God had his eyes in Chakwera the pastor not Chakwera the politician. You are insulting God Mr Kaitano and you better be very careful with your statement. You would be very close to the truth if you said Chakwera was the eyes of the Devil, because it is the devil which inspired him to abandon God.
Bravo! Santana. Facts well articulated. Kodi ndi inu a Professor? You must be very brilliant.
Bravo! Santana.Facts well articulated.Santana, kodi ndinu a Professor? You must be very brilliant.
Am not surprised neither, but just to stand on my truth and my very truth Santana.
Are you denying that Malawi needs new people in politics? Who will be them?
Do we need the Angel of God to be our president or God can use the same people who are also God fearing or pastor to be our leaders?Do you want to tell me that the president we have to day is a sinner because he is serving Malawians? or Do you want to tell me that we don’t need people outside politics to join politics? Do you want to tell me that Malawi is a sinful country which can produce a better president who can be from Church?
Can i say you don’t see changes in Malawi by the joining of Chakwera in politics?
Believe me, Malawi needs new people coming from the Kingdom of God if it is to take Malawi from this direction to another direction which will bring happiness to the citizens!
Therefore i need you my fellow friends to join me and take it for better Malawi, we need new blood in our
country.
Mau angawa mudzawakumbuka tsiku lina kutsogoloko ndipo uthenga wangau udzakuzuzani[Billy Kaunda]
Hahahahahaha!! sorry i did not much go on the issue of other countries you have mentioned here, Zimbabwe and South Africa, you can not compare them with Malawi, look what is happening now in Zimbabwe, is it for the goodness of the citizen? or go to South Africa now tell me what is happening? Don’t you think that someone was not in a position of speaking the future like what Chakwera is doing? Ahhhhhhh NO!! I understand now, you are missing what we need in Leadership, by the way are you a Malawian who sometimes celebrate the John Chilembwe day? who was Chilembwe?
In Malawi, we don’t need Politicians but States Men.
God bless Malawi.
kumayankhula yankhula izi a chakwela kuti otsutsa inu azipsa mtima……..lol
Hahahahahaha!!! azitero ndithu eti?
No wonder, Malawians are indeed fools. Dr Chakwera has just said hundred percent truth why Malawi is failing to develop but here you are saying shit. Have you ever asked yourself why Malawi is failing to develop and yet she has enjoyed peace that no country on has tested it?. Have you ever asked yourself why Rwanda, a country that has been at war for many years is developing yet she doesn’t have any minerals?. If I may ask have you ever seen a planning of Lilongwe as a city or Blantyre and Mzuzu how you want them to be in future?. You fools chakwera is 100% right, indeed Malawi is run by educated fools like Peter who has never and will never contribute anything in his life. Malawi needs leaders u who have vision. When Arton Chirwa founded MCP it became a part which put Malawians first.
Mr Chakwera, its a pity that you don’t know that you are one of the educated fools. Why? Because you abandoned Gods work in search of the “ALMIGHTY DOLLAR”.
There are few educated than none and in the eye of the majority there’s a thin line between leadership and level of education.
Mr Chakwera, its a pity that you don’t know that you are one of the educated fools.Why? Because you abandoned Gods work in search of the MIGHTY DOLLAR ! You are a disgrace indeed.
He did not abandoned God’s work akulu , he wants to do God’s work in a different way , kodi sima Bishop omwe anasintha ndale mdziko muno , this country needs munthu owopa mulungu like Dr Chakwera basi
Mr. Chakwera I truely wonder if you are a righteous man of God, how can you call your fellow Leaders as Educated Fools? Will it be wrong to call you master fool because you are also educated and a leader of the main opposition political party. Also remember that like JONA you ran away from preaching the good GOSPEL of GOD, insteady you have chosen to preach EVIL …… with this Mr. Chakwera I edge you to humble yourself you are not all that good as compared to your fellow Leaders.
Mr Jamax, i thought you are like some one who reads the Bible, Do you really understand the word of God? am very sorry for you my brother. What happened with Jonah? if you refer Jonah to Mr Chakwera, are you really follow the story or i should also teach you what is happening? Why do you take God like your uncle? there will be no one who will run away from God my friend read again. So as Chakwera did not and he is not and he will not run away from God. Is it not good for a person who has the heart of fear on God to lead people?Do you want to tell me that because he is saying the truth, Is he your enemy because he is saying the truth? because according to what i have read here, i don’t see any thing wrong, what Chakwera has said its true we need transformation leadership or you thing he is wrong?
Are you not aware that we are doing the reforms every corner of our country?
Is it not one of the reforms what Chakwera is saying?
Do you know that these leaders they went to school during the Kamuzu time? can you compare with our schools to day?
If we can not have a Transformation Leadership my friend, it will be your zidzikulu zako zomwe zidzapenge ndi Malawi.
Chakwera did not insult any person here but he has just saying what is on the ground, but because its true, that’s why mwakwiya naye because the truth hurts.
Mr Jamax, never again refer Chakwera to any story in the Bible, because it will always come against you, mark my words.
Continue reading the Bible and find out what happened after, Did he just finished like that? i mean Jonah
Didn’t he finished the work of God to the same people where God sent him?
Don’t you know that Jonah had it been he went straight to the field where God sent him, he would not preach to many people? But because of what he did, the story is in the Bible that’s why you and me we are talking about it, is he not still preaching?
Sorry this is a secret, Chakwera is a preacher, now for you as a believer if it is true, don’t you see him preaching to many people as before?
Don’t you want the light in our Country by bringing the truth and or speaking things against evil? Or you don’t want our country to change and its leadership?
Because of space, let me stop here.
God bless Malawi.
Thanks very much my dear brother Kaitano you are becoming one of my best friends, so you want me to stop likening Chakwera with Jona, ok I will not stop now until I see him going back to the pulpit the way Jona did through the power of God. Look here my friend, if Chakwera was preaching this very massage in the Church or at a very Big Spiritual Crusade I don’t think he could have uttered such EVIL words ,,,,,,, just imagine calling his friends (Educated Fools), this sentence does not show spiritualism,,, it’s full heavy of hatred….. it can not bring unit, it only sparks what we call COLD WAR.
He must learn to preach LOVE and that LOVE will bring peace. The BIBLE says we are the LIGHT of this world but if we tend to cover our light then who shall bring that light to the people who are in darkness?
Mr. Kaitano the word of God is just straight forward it says, ” you can NOT serve two masters at a time. If you do that it means at one point one MASTER will suffer. Believe you me POLITICS and CHURCH are two different things therefore it’s either you chose to be a Politician or a Pastor. In the Book of Revelation chapter there’s such a prophesy who John recieved and he was told to to write to a certain church in Asia, The Prophesy says, I know your works that you are neither HOT nor COLD but you are LUKEWARM. (Double standard…..can not work, it’s impossible) This is real my friend go and read it and understand what it means GOD speaks and he is speaking to us even now. Chakwera must chose to do one thing either POLITICS or be a HOT church Leader of the church of God.
Following JESUS is not an easy thing it has a cost attached, It requires abandoning everything take the CROSS and start follwing him…. it requires one to leave this politic ambition which is full of EVIL, If it were so then JESUS could have easily formed his political party but he knew what he was called for…. to serve his people from the power of darkness.
Here i come again,i think Mr Jamax you are missing one thing. seriously if you really love Malawi, you would stand with all Malawians especially those who are in the Villages crying unless you tell me that you don’t care.
What Chakwera said is very true and am not reversing it, mwina Chichewa chingaveke bwino kuti Tili ndi anthu ophunzira koma opusa, is it what you wanted? the word fool and stupid is it the same? Now lets go to your point about what Jesus said, hahahahahahahahaha! are you working some where or you are BWANA on your own? what Jesus simply said was that you can not be employed by ma Bwana awiri who will need you at the same time, therefore i don’t see it necessary to compare it with God as an employer, Do you know the meaning of Servant? Jesus was serving God the Father and people, is it true or false? was he serving two masters? How about Moses in the same way? who was he? what was his mission? to who?God does not employ people but calls his people to serve his people, Chakwera is called to serve Gods people,agree or not?
Lastly the vision of John in the book of Revelation, hahahahahahaha! Am not here to take God’s seat as a judge but let me say this from what you have said,i don’t think to have some one who is speaking the truth in National Interest can be a sin, therefore you can only see the person that he is Hot or Cold on a position given, that is why if you understand it, it is concerning those who already called Christians and it is telling them that they should not be Warm, on this point it shows that the person might be on one of the other side, then it continues saying, if you will be warm ndidzakulavula, meaning that the choice will be from the Judge.Are you a better Judge to day?
Different callings, Different Missions in Different times.
The one who can see that Chakwera is wrong is the one who called him for he is faithful.
God bless Malawi.
Mr Kaitano this is what we sharing views you take things at your own angle & so is everyone else but yes I agree with you we should let God be the only judge. If God will give us Chakwera I will be more than happy so it will be same even if he gives us anybody else apart from him because it will be his decision. All what is required is each one of us to LOVE GOD, LOVE EACH OTHER, work very hard & support each other and our country will perform wonders.
You are welcome my brother, lets put our positive mind on our Country hoping that one day things will good for all of us as Malawians, as believers we should also understand that we have a lot to do in our Country.
God bless Malawi.
Starting from today just know that God does not employ people, we call it calling when you are working it his field bro, What Jesus simply said was to show you that you can not be employed by two at once, because they may need you at the same time. Its not about calling, Now you should know how to differentiate these two things, In calling that is to say God has chosen someone to work in his field, he can give you many things to do according to his desire.
Look Mr Jamax, these people we call them servants of God, these are the ones who serves God and his people.
Therefore i don’t see it necessary to compare it as some body’s weakness, that’s not true.
Jesus was serving God the Father and people is it true or false? was he serving two masters? same with Moses not Moses of Mkasa but Moses in the Bible. Was he serving two masters? if not then what was his mission? why?for whose goodness? you see!
Johns vision about Hot, Cold or Warm hahahahahahaha! let me not be on the throne of God taking time judging somebody’s call to the Nation, i thank God because you are a good judge to day by simply thinking that for some one to speak the truth it means the person is neither Hot or Cold, for that let me congratulate you but what you should know about your concern my friend Jamax if your problem was the word that came out from Chakwera’s mouth was not sounding good, i can tell you that you should know that Stupid and fool are different words, The bible is not stopping you to say fool, but to say stupid, are you agree with me on that?of which i can tell you that we have people who are educated but fools, not stupids. in Chichewa, tili nawo anthu ophunzira kwambiri koma opusa.Osati zitsiru mwandiva pamenepo kaya?. Now the one who will tell you that you are hot or cold or warm is the one who has tasted you, is it you to day?
Believe me Bwana Jamax, our Country needs people who ca serve people osati anthu angokhutisa mimba zawo!
God bless Malawi.
Education has got nothing to do with leadership.problem is that we Malawians expect a lot from these educated persons, forgetting that one is born a leader,by the grace of God
What a Thought!
I wonder the words of foolishness coming from ex minister of god,now minister of the devil.He is desperate to rule Malawi but shall fail miserably in an election come 2019.He is trying his ambition for the last time as he well know he will be booted as president of MCP once he looses,Mr ex Reverend,your last chance for a major defeat is coming shortly,zanja lalemba.Fools are never educated,why then promote education in this insance?
Mr Chakwera. With all these credintials you are failing to govern a party. With two degrees of Theology, you are failing to reconcile with your party members. No wonder your desire for quick money made you dump God. This time you are asking the same God you dumped to bless you with a seat which you will enjoy per world standard. God refused to give you this seat in 2014 and it is obvious that He will do so in 2019. You are a curse in the eyes of God, Mr Chakwera. What did Jesus say about a person who calls another a fool? You are spiritually dead Mr MCP president.
Mr Santana, am here to teach not to crush your comment. Chakwera is not a curse in the eyes of God rather he is the eyes of God!.
Is he your enemy because he speaks the truth? He is there not because of money but as the eye of God to his people.
Are you happy with corruption in the Government? so Chakwera is wrong to speak against that?
How about the reforms the Malawi Government has introduced, don’t you want them?What Chakwera is saying, is it not part of reforms?
Shame! you mean you cant see this??????????????
You just have evil minded, why?These all Presidents are Christians, ask them why did they joined politics? you guys you are just piece of works here!! shaaaaaaaa!!
There is nothing worth writing about that he said. Nothing intelligent here, if anything he wants the delegates to indorse him
Bad for Malawi full of selfish leadership like Chakwera.
he is extremely right, we are headed by educated savages, ophuzira omwesa azawo tuvi, ophuzira olephera kuthesa ma strikes, ophuzira ozikonda okha
you are right,when it comes to selfishness APM is in another league ,you ask his close family you will be shocked.
So chakwera is an educated fool leading the opposition in Parliament.
KODI KUTUMIKIRA MULUNGU NDIKUTANI , NGATI BAIBULO SIMUKULIDZIWA KULIBWINO KUKHALA CHETE
Chakwera says the obvious. The current direction of the country is deplorable. But he does not come with an alternative. “Transformational leadership” is an empty phrase until he explicitly states what he means with it. What we need is not so much “leadership” as less top down power and more bottom up power. With this I mean that the power of the few is diluted to the many. No more lawlessness for the rich and powerful. ATI. Strict formulation of the competencies and limits to the power of every office. Strict adherence to merit. Strong and incorruptable complaints procedures.
Eliminate tribalism, self-enrichment and corruption from Malawi’s government and Malawi will develop. Just look at Singapore, independent for the same length of time, also an ex-colony.
This idiot calling the country leadership Idiots should be dealt with !!!! the failed Pastor of a local assemblies of God at Namichimba in Lilongwe! He knows me let him call me and I will finish him!!!
Zazii……. can’t you see the man is making sense.?These educated fools are thriving because of your stupid blind loyalty . Defending nonsense /mediocrity
You cant finish him. you see upusa kwako, you failed when he was not here, now you can’t even touch him, because he is heavenly protected.
Sorry, back to Hell.
It means he is educated fool leader too?
He thinks he is not an educated fool. It just proves his foolishness. Abusa, mwayamba kunena anzanu kuti zitsiru? Koma ndiye kuufunisitsa u president wadzikotu!!!! Don’t think kuti you will transform Malawi overnight as you dream! Game imaphweka ukakhala kunja! Check your tongue former man of God!
Oh what a life enriching speech. Auze Chakwera kuti amvetsetse lero. This is the Malawian Magufuli we want as President in Malawi osati zina izi amati educated fools. A country led by a very educated person but still very poor ee ayi ameneyu nde Francois Duveria waku Haiti who instead of riding ignorance among his people he capitalised on their ignorance to consolidate his leadership.
