Chilima leads multitude of mourners as Jaffu is laid to rest
Vice –President Saulos Chilima on Saturday joined thousands of people in mourning George Austin Jaffu, who was Malawi’s first Chief Secretary to the Office of President and Cabinet.
Despite the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic scare, a multitude that included Speaker of the National Assembly, Catherine Gotani Hara, Chief Justice Andrew Nyirenda, Attorney General Chikosa Silungwe among other high profile people, paid last respects to Jaffu who was buried with full military honours at Mpondasi, in Mangochi.
The Vice-President said the death of Jaffu was a big loss not only to the bereaved family but to the nation at large.
Chilima said the late Jaffu’s dedication and commitment is worth emulating by those who want to build their careers.
Because he’s dead and we are all busy praising his goodness
He was a good man, gentle, sober,hardworking and sincere . I worked with him at Halls garage in the 80s . May his soul rest in eternal peace.
Loka Mauwa was burried without government involvement yet she once served as minister, MP and deputy executive of Admarc. But whether one is buried with military honours or not the good part of it is that God made them the same under the soil. They will all rot.
So sad to hear of mr Jaffu’s passing. My sincere condolences to his wife and children. Mr Jaffu was my mentor when I worked for Lonrho in Blantyre: Mhdsrip
R.I.P
He lived his life to the fullest RIP
