Gangata brags of his ‘millions’ in Malawi Kwacha: Explains photos
A Lilongwe based youthful self-made flamboyant multi-millionaire Alfred Gangata whose pictures showing him and a woman posing in a bedroom and ridiculously flashing a bountiful stark of hard cash money have gone viral on social media like bush fire with internet trolls claiming that the woman in the picture has pilfered the money off him and that she has vanished.
However, speaking exclusively to Nyasa Times in an interview, Gangata who owns a conglomerate trading as Masters Group of Companies, has categorically denied that the money that was shown in the pictures circulating on social media was stolen saying ‘it is all false and baseless.’
Gangata whose security firm guards all Airtel Malawi towers countrywide and is heavily involved in agro-business and farming disclosed to Nyasa Times that the woman in the picture is actually his legally wedded wife and that the pictures were taken in 2013 and he had first posted some of them on his Facebook page.
A check on his Facebook timeline indeed indicated he posted some of the photos in 2013.
He garnered a slew of criticism after photos have gone viral on social media.
“The woman in the picture is my wife and we took those pictures sometime ago. It is not true that she has stolen the money. It is a blatant lie that she is at large. She is still with me and we are still married and as happy as ever. It is very sad that some people are bent on finding pleasure in tarnishing and injuring other peoples images and reputation,” said Gangata.
The affluent business tycoon said the pictures were taken in private and that he was celebrating with his wife after making a fortune and emphasizing that the pictures were not meant for public consumption except those he posted on Facebook.
“I was not posing the pictures for the public or for people to see my money. I had just got paid a huge sum of money in cash, it was MK20 million and I was excited,” said Gangata.
When asked to explain how his supposedly ‘private’ Kodak moments got to the public, Gangata said the pictures were saved in a memory card which he lost and he suspects that someone got it and is sharing them on social media and spread lies.
Said he: “People should learn to respect other people. We, Malawians excel very well in mediocrity and trivia instead of exerting our energy on important issues that would eventually uplift our well-being both financially and spiritually and we wonder why we remain one of the poorest countries in the world amidst plenty of natural resources? We are a sorry people.”
Gangata said he is worried that much with what the unscrupulous internet trolls are sharing his pictures saying he works hard for his money and that he does not steal from anybody but he expressed utter disgust and disappointment over what he described as ‘telling lies to make other people look stupid.’
He said: “I am not that stupid that I can let loose all that money in a company of a person that I don’t trust? My wife is part of me. My money is her money so celebrating our money shouldn’t be an issue to anybody. People must learn to mind their own business.”

pictures like these are not new. I’m surprised why these pictures are attracting unnecessary attention when a young self made millionaire by the name Dri Mkwanda has done the same. the young man I’m talking about is younger than the gentleman Gangata and has posted pics on SOCIAL MEDIA with hard cash US DOLLARS and not kwachas. He has posted pics in exotic places flashing expensive jewelry, cars and properties he owns abroad yet he received no attention at all.
so inu musatinyase apa as if ka 20 million ndi kanthu kaya mwachita kupangana.

Walemela uli mwana mphwanga. Hope you have good bodyguards
kuba kuja nkumeneko cashgate should be investigated the money was supposed to be deposited not in cash as done, no company can pay this amount in cash rather than in a single leaf as cheque, deal imeneyi beware!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ACB take acction
Ubulu2 siumphawi okha,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, 4wht kind of excitement is this???? chamagazi sichisowa limafika la 40 baba GANGATA
Although it seems abnormal to have that much in cash, I can tell you that as far as he is in agri-business, that can happen, in season of harvesting crops like soya beans and groundnuts and even maize private companies mainly owned by Asians like to give their suppliers as a motivation to buy more produce. I work in Kanengo and I know those companies but for security reasons wont be able to mention them. All the best bwana Gangata if the money is not connected to Cashgate.
Dude big up, thats your cash you can do what ever you want , do not be shaken ndi zonena anthuwa zakula ndi nsanje. Keep on working Hard man , am proud of you
Indeed we Malawians are a sorry and jealous people. We are not happy when someone makes it in life.Their are spirits of envy in our midst which is very distructive.
Ichi ndi chibwana, kudziitanila mavuto
This guy must be investigated. Mark the dates, 2013. Cashgate guys were using legally registered businesses to steal. Who can pay K20 million cash? It must have been a cheque, so why cash it and not deposit it? He was hiding trails. All cashgate money was in cash to avoid detection. NO SECRET UNDER THE SUN.
Ndalama ndi zake, ulamuliro onse ngwake pa chuma chakecho. Kaya ajambulitsa akusetera, kaya ajambulitsa akuzingira ndudu. It doesn’t matter
How dare would either a company or a Government institution pays such dubious payments in cash to an individual other than issuing cheque?.I think there must be something fish branding over such payments.Nayenso payee wakeyo ndi mbuli,how can he displays such huge money in public and a picture of a prostitute besides him??????
He says the pictures were taken in 2013. That was the time JB was president and cashgate was rampant. Who pays cash MK20million. Ndalama zathu zimenezo. Munaba nawo. Mulungu akulangani. Anzanu ndi awo ali ku prison, ena ndi awo akuthawawo.
palibe zodabwitsa apa. Many do same only that they are still in t
heir cacooons
Gangata, this is not the same Malawi we used to have during kamuzu era. Be careful, you can be robbers food. Why posing with cash? The same security guards u employed can kill you. Just an advise.
There is more than what meets the eye!
mwana ili ndi dziko udzaziona
bola inu
Something aint right with this Dude. You dont pose with cash like that
Mbuziiii!!!!
its part of life exee
Mbuli za chuma. Just like rap stars and Maywaither.
Show your assets.
Imagine if Dangote or Bill Gates showed us their cash.
No class.
Twenty million in cash. Who paid this guy? Panali nkhani apa. cashgate. Which company pays twenty million in cash. ndiye cashier ntchito yake tsiku lonse linali transaction yakeyotu…..
boss
Nkuluyu ali sharp zosililitsa izi
Senior nurses pay in uk is over £30,000.00 per a year so most of us here are millionaires in Malawi!
Chimanga cimalola opanda mano! Use the money for a makeover then you might look the part
kuli anthu a dollar kuno. eBay. For example Tom Mpinganjira Zagaf Ninkawa etc would they do that stupid act.
Zimupweteka mwana ndalama uyu. Anzako sititero
Dzibwana.
Typical of black men when they make money, they show off thinking they have achieved. Rich white men show off by investing for the good of community, especially the less fortunate. Take example of Bill Gates.
And this guy was stupid enough to risk taking all that money into his house? Akabwela akuba udzati walodzedwa kapena A malawi ndi oipa?
Kaya zanu zimenedzo. K20 million is nothing but a lot and life changing for most of Malawians.
It is u who is foolish do u think we should be clapping hands with your show off. Your wealth must not make us look stupid simply becoz we are poor.Kunalinsotu anzanu onyada ndi chuma nde mufunse kuti zinawathera bwanji?
THIS IS STUPIDITY AT ITS BEST, IF YOU HAVE MONEY THANK GOD. STOP EXPOSING YOURSELF, PEOPLE ARE IN GREAT NEED OF MONEY AND ARE EVEN ABLE TO KILL TO GET WHAT THEY WANT. POLICE ADVISE THIS BOY ON SAFETY OF HIS LIFE. WE HAVE BILLIONNAIRES IN THIS WORLD WHO NEVER EXPOSE THEMSELVES THAT WAY. SUKULU IKUSOWEKA ZEDI.

. . . Many of us do the same. When we are sent out abroad on a workshop, we take pics of our dollars/pounds/rands, euros e.t.c. However, we are just modest not to publish the pics or deliberately drop our memory cards so that they can be picked and have the pics shared.
. . . While working hard and becoming successful is a mark of intelligence and smartness, being modest is a mark of wisdom. You see, when you are rich and modest, even if by whatever misfortune your money says goodbye (e.g. along illness hence collapse of your business empire); you don’t worry about finding a place to hide your face.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
. . . Most importantly, we need to be careful how we advertise or brag about our success or riches; because there is always something about our success that even your best friend is not happy with. Therefore, if an attempt on your riches fails, there is an attempt on your life.
. . . Yet although money and other material possession make our life easier; life itself is much more important than the money and the material possession. Thus, must be guarded jealously.
I know it’s difficult (especially if poverty is what a bigger part of a person’s life has seen), but intelligent and wise, are those who are rich but modest. So few they are, but.
This, is an advice from a friend!

Koma iwe Gangata ndiwedi mwana eti, kodi siukuziwa kuti ma PS ndi ma Commissioner a Police ndi ma Senior Officers ku Army amalandira K150000000 gratuity? Komanso kumalandira K1000000 pa 14?
young boy work hard so that you achieve a goal you still have along way to go
admire dolar billionaire us dolar millionaire ky
KODI KU MALAWI MUNTHU AKALEMERA YIKHALE NKHANI ITS JUST PART OF LIFE INSTEAD OF DISCUSSING SERIOUS ISSUES CONCERNING OUR ECONOMY WE ARE BUSY WITH PRIVATE LIFE OF A PERSON THATS WHY OUR COUNTRY IS FAILING TO DEVELOP WE GOT JEALOUSY WITH EACH OTHER TOO MUCH
young boy you dont know money people stopped talking MK along time ago talk million pounds or atleast a million dollar
Our own Floyd Mayweather! lol!
I totally agree with 2016 welcome.Unfortunately salipo yekha, nkagulu ndithu ndiye kaya ndi umbuli, I just don’t know. Chauta adzingotikhululukira
i smell lack of education
Twenty million kwacha is equivalent to £20,000.00. So about a year and half’s work pay for an ordinary worker in UK can turn you into a multi millionaire in Malawi.
Sad nation.
Chilipo chikukutsata iwe. We have had rich people in Malawi but the show off in other ways not parading cash before the public like that. Remember the public is diverse siwonse akukuona ndi diso la bwino. Mwina uli ndi security yabwino mzathu.
2016 welcome,
A person is only just as safe as the security of his house is. And never safer than the security of his house.
The guy is just as safe as the security of Malawi is, the building that houses us all. And you and I and others know what/how the security/insecurity of Malawi is, now.
Its a good advice you have given him.
