Chakwera walks last born daughter down the aisle

Malawi opposition leader, Rev Dr Lazarus Chakwera, on Saturday 5 September, walked his last born daughter Marlyn down the aisle as she tied the knot to her longtime sweetheart William Chimombo Banda in Lilongwe.

Chakwera, who is also president of Malawi Congress Party (MCP), said it was “special” for him to see his last daughter wed.

Some of Chakwera’s children are already married with the most renowned being his Pastor child Nick Chakwera who is married to musician Rudo Mkukupa Chakwera.

Chakwera thanked all people who turned up for their support.

He applauded the daughter for her moral rectitude and being well-behaved.

Others also hailed her as a “very obedient” girl and “absolutely trustworthy”.

Merlyn is not like other children from wealthy and influential leaders’ families who are notorious for controversial lifestyles of glamour and showiness.
