  1. Matrauza/Mabuluku a pa Tanzania amaoneka bwino pa Campaign.Munthu umatha kunjanja bwinobwino aliyense kuchita nawe chidwi.Bravo Chimulirenji .Ali ndi mwana agwiritse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  2. How can we have some one who is not civilised and make Him a Minister of Civic Education? For how mmmhhh malawi malawi malawi. We shall never reach the top, Civic Education pangozi zoona? Eni ake Alikuti a ngozi zadzidzidzi? Nanga a Helthy mmhhhh mavoti akubwera munyera muona

  3. But quality ya running mate abale This country will never develop. Next time a donkey will rule us

    1. think about your father first.ndipo bambo ako sanakhalepo even nduna ya amfumu ndye iwe ma busy kumanyoza anthu akuluakulu ngat amenewo??? nonsense

  4. So sad that people are perishing like this. I am not quite surprised – these are signs of time. Who can dispute that time for DPP is over? A sound government would not waste money on new road construction but improve the exhisting ones. All is happening to score a political mileage without due consideration of what people want.

    1. Kapado pita ukasambe. Was the accident caused by the road condition? Stop thinking like kapado or saona ndege.

    2. i believe the cause of the accident is that ,,, the truck lost control ,not that the road is bad…. I believe

  5. Ngozi kungochitika Dausi kutulukira within seconds why????? Atulukiridwa ya ma albino now they have started causing accidents to collect blood.

    Simuwina!!!!!!+

  6. Why Chimulirenji? Is he heading a relevant ministry to hospitals or road infrastructure? I thought learned people would follow the law to the dot by among other things respecting the constitutional provisions but am forced to believe otherwise. No wonder Malawi has the third highest educated president in the world while standing the poorest in the world, amid war-torn nations of DRC and Burundi.

  7. Instead if getting the people do their work you rush into the scene to make them focus in you and your entourage? What for Mr Chimulurenji?

  8. Will government also give or condole those who lost their loved ones to floods, 56 families? Its all accident. Fairness is Godly

  9. this is the kind of leaders we need in this country who rush for matters of national concern. Some stupid people don’t politicize this issue. Chimullilenji has shown how compassionate he is in time of trouble. Others you would have waited azimayi achipani chanu and ag’oma akupelekezeni. God bless Mutharika for visonaly electing Chimulilenji as a running mate God bless Chimulilenji.

    1. Apart from this one which other accidents victims has he visited in the past and in what capacity is he doing this? running mate, a citizen of ntcheu or what? I am sure this is for the cameras and campaign.

    2. Scoring cheap political points on people’s tragedy. Why no money for families of flood victims then. How I wish one of the radios would have interviewed in English. Mukanamva eish
