Officials from the Chewa Heritage Foundation (Chefo) are conceding that the cultural grouping is now sharply divided.
An offspring of the powerful Foundation on Saturday held a cultural event, Nkumano wa Achewa at Civo Stadium in Lilongwe, snubbing the mother Chewa Heritage Foundation which had stopped the event.

The offspring of the Foundation is what used to be the Foundation’s organising committee of Nkumano wa Achewa but the main Committee dissolved it
Chefo Chairperson Stanley Khaila said last Monday that the organising committee has been dissolved as it was operating against procedures.
Chefo Deputy Publicity Secretary Beatrice Bangula said Mkumano wa Achewa will take place on July 09, 2022.

During the event, Senior Chief Sosola called for unity and respect for each other among all Chewa people in Malawi.
Sosola said this on Saturday at the ‘rebel’ Mkumano wa a Chewa fundraiser at Civo Stadium in Lilongwe as they prepare for this year’s Kulamba cultural event.
Sosola also asked the Chewa Heritage Foundation (CHEFO) to change how they operate as they are bringing disunity in the group.
