“This is the day (October 15) my wife became a mother for the first time when our only son was born,” said Chakwera.

He said his sisters born after him have all becomes mothers too.

Chakwera said he spent the day with his wife and their family and sent gifts to a few mothers, including his 94-year-old mother-in-law.

“I wish all mothers God’s very best for them. May that be provided for and protected. May they prosper in all they do for the betterment if Malawi and humanity,” he said.

In Malawi, Mother’s Day is commemorated on October 15.

The day was initially set aside by founding president Ngwazi Hastings Kamuzu Banda on October 17 and it was later celebrated on the second Monday of October but former president Bingu wa Mutharika changed it to October 15 to coincide with the International Day of Rurall Women, set by the United Nations General Assembly in 2008.

Apart from celebrating Mother’s Day, the month of October was also set aside to observe the International Day of the Girl­Child and the International Childhood Week which reflect on the mother as well.

  1. Did the Chakwera family send gifts to the mothers of the Nsundwe murderers who were hired by Chakwera to cause havoc in that area?

  2. Chakwera,the baby is yours and your wife and the people of Malawi have nothing to celebrate over your baby for is not YESU.Please Just mind your personal affairs,do not desturb other people because of your baby.It seems to me you ditched GOD to involve yourself on misdirection of masses of our country for your own aggrandizement end.So,that is the job you like better to save the wretched people of Malawi.Please,the people of Malawi are tired of being pushed around like slaves.Muthalika there,is right to condemn the corrupt Chakwera and indeed,Chakwera son of God,is misdirected by Satan to cheat the people of Malawi.Chakwera,why not going to the US friends to ask for help to our friends the Albinos who are being brutally killed by the misguided people of Malawi.Chakwera,just go back to your old proffession,there is wide gap between politics and BIBLE now choose,which is which?

  3. Palibepo vuto kwa chakwera kuvomera call yamulungu kutumikila mtundu wa malawi. Israel was served by joseph and Aaron from the hands of pharaoh even david who killed the jiant goriath. So why not chakwera ?

    1. Chipani chake chili ndi magazi mmanja komaso chakwera ali ndi nkhaza ngati za kamuzu ,sadzalamulilaso Malawi ose a MCP

  4. Za ma looks zisiyeni koma mtima wamunthu womwe ali nawo
    if you remember Ethel Muthalika looks similar to her no looks but she was able to control Bingu and all Malawians appreaciated her works
    Comes Kalista bingu’s head was monopolized and he did not work properly coz someone gave him a dosage of family first instead of the nation first
    That’s why Bingu failed to rule better instead he began to over-control the nation for his sake
    So to you lookers if you are a fool look for a beauty but if you are wise look for a good heart that can save a nation through good advise and if Chakwera is happy then who are you to judge Anyagongwe who he proudly love

    1. Too bad to talk about this lady’s looks. God is the God of Justice ndipo chilungamo Chake chioneka posachedwa

  5. Baba Chakwera bwelerani ku Church mukafalitse uthenga wa Yehova. Ndale i think sizinakuyanjeni . Apa mukuoneka more of religous man than a politician. Akazi anu a Monica should be able to advise you properly . Mzimayi ntchito yake ndikulangiza Mwamuna wake. Mayi Monica Khalani nawoni pansi Bambo Chakwera muwalangize akulu awa .

  6. Our own mother Monica Chakwera all the best mama bwezi mukuchita izi from state house not what we see today fearing to move out and reach out to the needy mothers sad indeed zokuba sizipindula Mulungu wakumwamba atipatsa zofunazathu posachedwapa.

      1. -Mama Monica, you are a Blessed woman whom God has entrusted with an adorable husband who fears God and loves all human beings who were created in the image of God. You are blessed with wonderful children and grand children. What else would a humble, good woman ask for? Be YOU mama, be you . We love you
