Chihana boasts he is ‘super rich’ than most Malawi ministers despite Katapila: ‘I fly business class’

August 6, 2020 Owen Khamula - Nyasa Times 48 Comments

Alliance for Democracy (Aford) president Enoch Chihana, who is embroiled in Katapila (usury)—the black market of lending despite the punitive repayment regimes —has boasted that he is richer than most Cabinet ministers.

Chihana: I am very rich man and so comfortable in my life

In an interview with a local radio station, Chihana says he has a lot of money to feed himself and his family, saying he does not live on hand to mouth and should not be considered as a broke man.

“I have more money than some of these ministers. I have money, infact am rich,” boosted Chihana.

“This is why you have found me living in a very good house,” he said.

Chihana, who lost his parliamentary seat in 2019 election,  said he and his family fly business class, saying in South Africa he stays in a sprawling mansion in a posh area where foreign ambassadors live.

Chihana said his offices are in in plush Sandton is an affluent area in the Johannesburg Municipality, Gauteng, South Africa.

He also said he is a successful businessman, saying he is currently supplying maize to Zimbabwe government.

Chihana said the K5 million katapila saga came in when some Aford parliamentary candidates approached the usury man for money to pay Malawi Electoral Commission as nomination fees.

“They called me whilst I was in South Africa in the run up to the election that they had already taken the money and paid the nomination fees,” he said.

He said this was in 2019.

“So I had given my car as a surety,” he said.

Chihana confirmed that the matter is before court.

However, details emerging from court indicates the  katapila he took in 2018 and committed himself in writing.

  1. Enoch son of Chakufwa , kkkkk rich pple do not boost bwana weeee. rich pple like myself cannot be embroidered in loan shacks please. Just pay the money and clear your name.

  3. Nyengo yamara!!! Enoch Chihana you need to take some time to find yourself coz you are lost!!

  4. Super rich? Do you even know the meaning of that? Kapena ndi zimene m’manamizana ndi bushiri. Kutenga katapira £5000 (equivalent) nde uziti kulemera? That’s just two months wages for a low earner.

  8. Billions of blue blistering barnacles, Enoch! Rich people don’t brag about their wealth, if they got it honestly. Corrupt rich people ndi amene amalubwalubwa, e.g. Chisale, Gertrude, Cash Madam, Ben Phiri, and all their ilk.

    Mwapsola pa ukape a Enoch… Mwafika pombwambwana. What’s the Tumbuka word for “beyond uchindere” ?

    2. …biilions and billions of billious blue blistering barnacles in a thundering Typhoon! Lol

  9. Chindere ichi why not enjoy the money in your country? We know that you in South Africa eating Bushiri’s. Tadala Chakhaza wamupengetsa and he could not manage her after being a minister for the stupid government of Joyce Banda that even picked fools like him just like APM picking Kamlepo.

  10. What a failure as a leader and person! A good character can never pose like this!
    It seems this combination to be a party leader and a son of a party founder is the worst ever!
    Why do this educated idiots don’t realise it themselves?
    The only profession they have learned in life is to spend the talents of their father’s. Of course this can works only marginally!

  12. Am sorry to ask you my president of AFORD
    I heard on TV,
    Brian Banda interviewing my Papa Bushiri
    About ur political Life
    Papa said u are no longer a politician and you are running business with him in SA ,is it true president Chihana.
    Thank.

  14. Uyu Enoch angokhala chete. We sat near each other last time I went to Cape Town for meetings. Tinakumbukirana, we talked a lot, nkhani za pa Maimba, malemu Zander, malemu a Maimba, etc He even laughed at the way I was drinking, he said ‘uchali na nkhongono iwe’……. Don’t boast

  15. Chofunika kungobwezapo ndalama za katapilazo apa izi zokuti eeeh ine ngwolemela ndimayendela galimoto zowoneka ngati ndege zikuchedwetsani tangobwezaniponi ngongoleyo inu mkumapitiliza kumwa thiyi wa mkwaka.

  16. if he is rich why can’t he pay back the katapila money which his siblings got? Just transfer the money, pretty simple!!!

  17. How could a man of Great integrity like Chakufwa Chihana, the Father of Malawi Democracy, gave birth to such an idiot so called Enoch Chihana. Remove him from the Tonse Alliance

    1. Chakufwa a man of integrity? A man who sold his soil and Malawi to UDF? pachipanda dyera akanakhala malawi 3rd president from 1999

      1. msundwe is 100 percent right. Chakufwa was no man of integrity. He was selfish and power hungry. Corrupt also and loved young girls like Jeffrey Epstien in USA.

  18. Munthu uyu matama chonsecho anathawa mu Malawi game itamufoyilila. Anakwatila gold dogger that’s why ngongole akukanika kubweza. Tangobwezani katapilayo mkulu muzithokoza bushiri wakutolani

      1. “Things Fall Apart”, Chinua Achebe

        Talks about Okonko who had a surprise when he wanted to get back his loan. The person showed him a wall where he unscripted markings showing amounts he owe other lenders apart from Okonko.

        He told off Okonko saying all others he owe a lot according to high number of scratches are not pestering him for their money 💰

        Mphawi yekha ndiye yemwe amavuta KWAMBIRI ndi zandalamazi amafuna kunena chomwecho Chinua Achebe

    1. Cannot arrest every one. Enoch getting a loan is his personal business not your or anyone else’s Where is concerns Aford, Enoch sadly has failed badly. He has destroyed Aford and indeed there is no Aford left.

  24. What a blithering idiot! Instead of pawning his car, why didn’t he simply transfer money from his supposedly fat South African account to quickly settle the bill. Chindere ichi! Ase! Fools are really born everyday!

  25. Kkkkk achihana flying business class doesn’t mean you are rich.I always fly business from Chicago to lilongwe but I can’t say I am rich

  27. Enoch anabwereza form 4 katatu kumangolakwa. That time he preferred to be known by his step father minister’s name as Enoch Katola.

    Ku Jubeku akutamika nakoko its because Bushiri amatokosa kumatako kwa mkazache.

  29. Real rich people do not brag about flying first class, they have their own private jets and are not entangled in katapila

  30. Apparently flying business class gets Mr Chihana and his family to the destination a lot quicker than flying economy class 😂

  31. Baba munthu olemera samatenga katapira. Let the people Judge u. Mukanakhala nazo bwenzi mutachilipilira chipani ngongole zake.

  32. 🤣😂😂🤣 Kodi mumataya nthawi kulemba nkhani ya munthu wopanda ntchito ngati ameneyi bwanji, kuyendera Dzina la Bambo ake basi and i even doubt how far he went with his education?

  33. if what has been written is true then I can understand why the dude is failing to pay back the money. He lives on borrowed life. I am told he married somebody who was once miss Malawi, I can understand because Chihana looks ugly and wants to make up by spoiling the lady. Even if you are flying business class and somebody is flying economy but you are on the same plane, you all rich your destination and the only difference is that you receive a complementary juice and are spoiled by drinks and you are given a newspaper. that is what you pay for. Even if you stay in Sandon and somebody stays in Soweto, you both will sleep may be the one in Soweto will have a peaceful sleep of a debt free life while you will be awake thinking about Katapila or where to borrow to finance your extravagant life.
