End of Lomwe era. The 80 year old tippex president should be feeling the heat of being old with most of the contemporaries like Patrich Mbewe, Harry Thomson, Bingu wa Muthalika and many more dead. State funeral looming. This is a reality and please leave the country in peace and not in peaces.
You cannot even spell “Pieces” correctly
