I’m absolutely falling apart – Gwanda Chakuamba
Malawi veteran politician in retirement from front line politics, Gwanda Chakuamba, has said he is living a destitute life due to financial problems, according to press reports.
Chakuamba, 81 told The Nation newspaper of Thursday that he is penniless and struggling to live a normal life.
The paper reports that Chakuamba is having constant threats of eviction from Malawi Housing Corporation house in Chimwankhunda where he resides.
“I also have problems with water and electricity bills,” the paper quoted the veteran politician as saying.
Chakuamba owned several properties, including Mount Pleasant No 1 house, Milare house, one house each in Chigumula and Nyambadwe in Blantyre, an inn in Mangochi and a number of farms.
He told the paper that while his United States of America-based children occasionally assist him, the assistance is not enough.
Former minister Moses Dossi, a close ally to Chakuamba, commented: “In Malawi we honour people when they die and not necessarily when they are alive.”
Meanwhile, a reports indicate Chakuamba be conferred with an honorary Doctor of Philosophy degree by Cyprus International Institute of Texas in United States of America this Saturday.
Chakuamba, who retired from active politics, would be awarded the doctorate in line with his invaluable contribution to the country having served in almost all ruling parties, as former minister and once a leader of opposition.
Cyprus International Institute second Vice Chancellor Professor Gusto Tuweh Gadama said Chakuamba will be honoured during a graduation ceremony to be held at Bingu International Conference Centre in Lilongwe.
In his prime as a politician, Chakuamba held various Cabinet portifolios in the one-party State of founding president Hastings Kamuzu Banda from the late 1960s to 1980 when he was arrested and charged with treason. He was released in 1993 after the dawn of plural politics through a national referendum.
After his release, Chakuamba rejoined Malawi Congress Party (MCP) and served in a three-member presidential council that managed State affairs after Kamuzu was taken ill.
After the 1994 general elections won by the first post-independence multiparty president Bakili Muluzi and his United Democratic Front (UDF), Chakuamba became leader of opposition in Parliament. He later served as Cabinet minister in Bingu wa Mutharika’s administration in 2004.

I am tempted to feel sorry for mbuya, but when I remember the past I, instead, say “you deserve everything coming your way now”.
Unfortunately, those in power now will not take this as a learning point. The belief is that “it can never happen to them”.
Well, mbuya, for 90% of us here in Malawi, this is the life we have ever known and, I am, again tempted to say, will ever know, thanks to greedy, selfish, cruel politicians like yourselves.
Judging from the comments here, it don’t look like you have very many sympathizers.
Chakuamba sold his properties and used the money for politics. He used it for campaigns and for the little girls he paid school fees for and made pregnant. He spent money on the likes of Munlo, Masauli, Ntaba, Mpinganjira, Chimera, Sabadia, Mia, Mhango and the like. He never gave money to his children, Kwafaani and Zuwere in the states, Martin in Malawi and Aubrey in England. Even after all this his daughter, Zuwere, took care of him. She rented him a house, paid for his medical trips to South Africa, bought him clothes, food, you name it. When I visited Chakuamba at the house his daughter was footing the bill, he had everything but she stopped supporting him because of his pedophilic behavior. Chakuamba has slept with his niece, Lois Fatchi and now lives with his personal assistant, Grace Yebo Mhango as his wife. Grace refuses to go and live in the village that is why Chakuamba lives in town. Chakuamba has brought this on himself!
Only thieves like the Bakilis survive in Malawi. The honest will not. Businesses are like to decline. That is what Malawi is all about. That is why we have many bootlickers.
There r so many people who contributed to the development of this country and are in pathetic lives. Do you mean this guy is so special? Or just because was/is a politician? Not taxpayers money!
Send me your account number.
Iwe Dossi nawenso kagwere uko.Ngati ndale zinakukanika you better shut up.How many Malawians are suffering in Malawi because of poverty?At least Mbuya amasungunula tima dollars tochoka Ku US pamene amalawi ena alibe mwayi ngati umenewu.Ma politicians amawabela amalawi and they think it is also the responsibility of tax payers to look after them in their old lives.Palibe nzeru apa.Ambuya angomanga wa kumudzi Ku Nsanje.
inenso ndikuvutika ndikusowa ondithandiza zikomo bwana
Osamangotamba bwanji?? Fwerseki. This is why MCP will never rule Malawi
Choyipa chitsata mwini komanso ana ali mthengo.Kumbukani makolo ana inu.
I hope you rot Gwanda. My family lost everything while you were in power in those days but you know what the children of that family are doing well thank you very much,I remember you saying that you have children in the USA who will help you. So what has happened to them? You really deserve what is going on in your life now
Surely all the properties you have should ensure you are comfotable enough. I hope you now can see what suffering is all about. Iwe ndiye Chauta wayambila pansi pano kukulanga. May the Almighty have mercy on you.
You have your kids who can look after you.That is not the responsibility of Malawian taxpayers.Probably look for help from your old billionaire friends Muluzi and Tembo.Munazunza a Malawi koopsya anthu oyipa inu ndiye lero muzifuna chithandizo kuchokera kwa anthu munkawapondereza?Hell is on earth.Its just a question of time when tables turn and the situation changes completely.Anthu sanaiwale zimene munkawapanga.
We are all struggling to make ends meet in town these days from our laughable salaries.So why does Gwanda think the tax payer should bail him from his misery after holding lucrative posts in different parties?It doesn’t really make any sense.We have alot of relatives languishing in villages that need our care than these people who thought they will be in politics forever(wamuyaya).Things are always changing in the World on everyday basis.Wamuyaya ndi Mulungu yekha osati zija mumanamuzana ndi mzanu Kamuzu. Town ikavuta timapita Ku mudzi ndikumadya nkhwani ndikuyatsa koloboyi ndikumaziwudza zizukulu tuvi kuti nthawi yina ndikakhala Ku area 10.Ndiye umoyo umenewo mbuya.They are alot like yours in village who had no vision for their future ndipo amatenga nthawi kufa.
Pay back time. my parents are also suffering because of people like him.
I just like the comments here cos each one seems as if reading each other’s mind. I concur with Siyabonga saying that God keep other people long so that they can see the way things change. People like Chakuamba did more harm than good to our country. They enriched themselves through corruption at the expense of the masses. He has got a lot of properties & farms why can’t he just sell one or lease out & get money for his upkeep??????? If Chakuamba can claim that he is failing to make ends meet then what more with an ordinary person?????
kupanda ma plan kumeneko. ma property onsewo anawasiya kuti????
kupanda mlan kumeneko. ma property onsewo anawasiya kuti????
Kodi Mbuya ana enango Ali ku United States of America. Ngakufuma maningi enewa . Ngati anako akubala iwe akuchimwana kukuphejambo ifembo tinakwanisa tani anthu akutcherenga ku Malawi. Wapupwa mbuya penepa unaphata mfili.
Not on my tax please.These were very evil people during their days.Nthawi zina Mulungu amakusungirani dala ndi miyoyo yayitali kuti mulione dziko mmene lasinthira.Mukakhala pamwamba pa ladder osamanyoza anthu Ali pansi.Mcp ya achina gwanda,Muluzi,Tembo inali ya nkhaza.it is his pay back time.We are all struggling with bills intown now.pena atidulire magetsi,pena madzi ndiye town.Town ya mutharika yafunga.wina ayithawa town dzuwa likuswa mtengo.
Why can’t he beg some monies from his friend Elesoni Muluzi and Ungapake Tembo?These gogos are swimming in billions.
Let him go in villages and eat khwani from the back yard.My agogo used to live in area 10 in early 80 but he is contentedly living in villages in his modest house.Thats life my friend.Dont think the world will pity him because he was in Mcp and used to throw people to crocodiles one time.Ingomangani waku ntchanje ngati town yatelera.
There are alot of people who worked in the civil service for many years and of good characters but they r still languishing in villages with their meagre pension.Gwanda was evil in his hey days.So why should people care for him?I thought he has kids in America who can send him something after labouring in shifts?He just have to be careful with the little he has until his last day.
Kkkkkkkk
You mean all the money you earned during Kamuzu, Bakili Muluzi and Bingu was not invested, for future wealth? Andale ena ndi zitsiru ndithu. Ngati anthu timapanga invest just K60,000 net salary, kugulako ka plot, this and that.
Not feeling sorry for him. You want to continue milking our taxes again? We are already thin, and you will make us die in the end. Sell off your little property if you have and survive on them
Anthu amayiwala nsanga This guy was untouchable during Kamuzu Banda’s error of terror. Remember what he did to Messers Gadama, Matenje and Gadama?? Now he wants to leave off taxpayers??? Why do politicians believe that we the citizenry own them something?
Aaaa!!! Okey, osangoyamba ntchito ya ulonda bwanji?
Mbuya where are all those children you had fathered all over Malawi,?
Others call this “the political curse” – Malawi top politicians and their top cronies in government never think at all. They spend time bonking and sharing public property. Now that there is very little government property to swindle, cries of this nature will become the order of the day. Go to Blantyre, Zomba, Lilongwe and Mzuzu and see how modern non political professional public servants are investing their clean earned money to avoid this later ages destitution portlayed by Mbuya. Shame on you plunder politicians.
nthawi yawo kunalibe gatecash
I have no sympathy at all. When he was in power he forgot the future. Now he is paying the price like most politician who are busy stealing government funds
A Chakwamba vuto lanu ndi chiyani chiyani, kumbukilani akazi a Eni aja mumakhala mukukwata muli pabwino.
Its pay back time now.
Ah izi nde zofuna izi. Am very sure that he was and still better off than most malawians. He wasted his worthy in the name of politics. Do not feel sorry for him. Otherwise he needs to be grateful to his children that are atleast sending him a little. Life is getting tough these days that it isn’t easy to support each other. If I were one of his children I could forget him right. He is un grateful. Sad.
The man has paid school fees for many people.
Please recipients assist in this time of need.
Ineso I am destitute and I need assistance from Government. To whom should I send my letter declaring my destitution? This is rather silly of Mbuya!! How many old people who contributed much more than Mbuya are suffering silently in the villages and towns?
Report is incomplete, it says he owned high class residences and other properties, what happened to them?
When a bamboo flowers, it dies. Why join work which has no pension scheme sir? Tell your children not to follow suit.
Mbuya
My advice is contact dausi,tembo, chilenje or even hon kamlepo. As for our taxes I know you heard what happened and continues to happen.
Dzimbava zinaba kamanso zikumababe.
I may consider a bigwalk to fund raise for your bankrupcy and insolence and pecuniarism.
Mbuya ndi dolo wayionera patali akuziwa kuti akamwalira lero pazakhala zabwino zambirimbiri ndiye akufuna zake adyeretu ali moyo, osati zachipepeso, bravo mbuya mudyeretu madala zoona izi,
The style of MCP at the time was confiscating all your property when you got jailed after brushing shoulders with Kamuzu. In fact he was one of top brass that practiced this in his good times. After his release he decided to rejoin MCP and Kamuzu but failed to regain what he had lost.
His opportunities were open with Bingu but the man was so pompous. It is his time to pay the price this man. He was the master mind of throwing people to crocks. I never liked him as he closed our school and gave us punishment of carrying stones on our heads for a project from the mountain top.
Shame!!!!!!
To add to this: Mr. Chakuamba behaved like he owned every ministry he headed. His behavior was such that, when he was in education, every secondary school was afraid of what would happen if and when he visited. Headmasters, even white expatriate ones, were all scared. And Mr. Chakuamba just lapped up the fact he was feared by azungu.
I think, when he was in Banda’s MCP, his ratio of enemies to friends was probably close to 100:1. And so when he was released from Banda’s jail, Chakuamba had no friends to turn to. He was lucky Kamuzu took him back, as a lap dog, again.
That punishment of carrying stones on the head: I thought it was confined to the Portuguese? The Ports were notorious in their treatment of our brothers and sisters, in Mozambique. It is despicable really that Mr. Chakuamba would have imported that culture.
Oyimba ananena kale kuti tsiku lina zowuluka zones zidzatela. A Chakwamba Lero mwatela. That is what you did to us when you threw my Dad in prison never to be seen again
Kudandaula kuti alibe nsapato anzanu alibe phanzi.
This is typical of the generation born before 1960’s. They don’t think about the future. We are laughing at Gwanda but they are plenty of them. When they have money, all they know is chew it. When they were approaching 55 yrs old, they changed retirement age to 60. Now they are approaching 60s, they want to change retirement age to 65 or 70. Biguns but don’t think about the future. There is a list of CEOs,bank managers, who were driving VXs but now they are walking. I believe Malawi will develop when this irresponsible generation becomes extinct. Gwanda was minister during Kamuzu, then Muluzi and then Bingu. Butwhat he new was to chew money and not invest.
I don’t feel sorry for him. Otherwise, what about my granddad at Neno.
Don’t you have a house in nsanje where there is free water and koloboi for lighting you must be joking
Why did he sell the houses?just rest in peace mbuya all of us are struggling receiving money from relatives in uk
Gvt must do something to mbuya is also servant
The children of Chakuamba are dealing their father a “Payback” on account of the humiliation their mother suffered. Raima Fatchi, the mother is a bitter woman. She felt slighted when Chakuamba came out of prison when he started sleeping with his niece Lois Fatchi. The Fatchis, including his own brother inlaw Peter Fatchi are bitter people. That is why Kwafaani Chakuamba-Chagunda, living with her mother in America can not raise a finger for their struggling father. As for Zuwere, the girl he begot with a woman from Rumphi, also living in America cannot stomach the fact that Chakuamba today lives with his “personal assistant” as a wife.
But people like Joyce Banda and Bakili Muluzi and Brown Mpinganjira should have helped the man who broke his back to make them into politicians…and where is Ntaba
ee. koma ndiye , we have learnt a lot for your comment and I believe all this is true. Many years back, I went to Kwafani’s flat in Limbe (Male Mulungu buiding, which also housed Khama bar and Restaurant) with her nephew/cousin who was my school-mate then, a Fatchi. We had good food but I was wondering as to where she is now. The bulding now has been re-worked and has FDH bank down below, where the pub once was. Thanks for letting us know.
What a low life !!!
so the guy have children in US and he is saying he is penniless, what does he really want from Malawians?
Abale mukuti Gwanda akakhale kumudzi, inu kumusiku ndikotentha kwambiri with his condition sangaka khalitse he will die msanga and aziyende daily kuzakumana ndi doctor thats not on, I give many thanks to Moses Dossi for making an effort to help his fellow retired politician.dziko silingakwanitse ku thanduza wina aliyense but iye wabwera poyela wachita bwino, amene somukufuna ku thandiza khalani phe ife amrne tilindi mitima yothandiza tiyeni timuthangate nzathuyi, ndikati ndiwonetsetse mwina ndife ambiri amene sitinapangemaziko and yet tasala pang’ono ku chita retire. May God bless everyone who will help him.
Mwadya idya mahule nkumapangira ma rent mu Manja umu basi pano mufuna muzidyabe ndalama zathu? Za nkutu izi
Does the man-Mbuya deserve to continue living on tax-payers money, on what basis? May be because MK is too cheap to politicians. Are we serious Malawians. If he deserves, think about civil servants, then him and other needy Malawians!!!
Mbuya’s story is sad, embarrassing, demeaning and a shame. Mbuya is going senile that is why he has allowed this abomination to be in the media. A normal and sane person would not even want to be known that he is a destitute after going through all the pomp and glamour in his life. Mbuya caused untold misery to a lot of Malawians. Mbuya sold MCP for a song to Bakili – 50 million if I remember? That’s what blood money does. It leaves you pa mbalambanda and in shumbles. Mbuya should have been somewhere chilling in his old age rearing goats, milking cows and eating local chickens and freshly grown and picked vegetables somewhere in the beautiful lower shire but lol and be hold, ali pa chimwamkhunda dam pa. Zofuna ndipo zamanyazi. A lesson to us all. Let us plan for our retirement. Mbuya has embarrassed his so called children by washing this dirty linen in public. To Moses Dossi, how can you allow the old man to be put to shame in public like this? See all these comments – publicly ridiculing him eish…. Pepani Mbuya koma mumadya nokha. Dziko ndilovuta ilo uyu ndi Mbuya? Lero wagwirika ndithu mpaka ma hamala a housing misomali pakhomo kho kho kho? Zamanyazi lero zakubwelerani ndithu… inu suja munkalankhula ndi nthudzu? Eeee Mbuya, please spare us this joke and nonsense
How can somebody have kids ( educated ones ) in usa and yet a parent is suffering in africa ???
Is that true ???
Unless these kids are stupid
Ngakhale ka maudzi mulibe zoona? Nanga ngombe zija ku lower shire? Nyasa, is this true?
You mean Chakwmba has no his own apartment in town. I mean during Kamuzu, he was controlling everything including lands for plots. He must be a foolish old man. Let him rot. At his age he can not still cling to MHC house.
So with all he had didn’t have plans for retirement.Can this be true? ” Make hay while the sun shines” must ring a bell to all in ivory towers
Apa palibe nkhani. where are his children? everybody keep quiet. there are lots of old people suffering in Malawi and no children. what is special with Chakwamba. Asatibele ayi. All his assests, anagulitsa ndikudyeratu? He educated a lot of people from lower shire. some are in parliament right now, some big shots in companies, these should help Chakwamba. why live in town, he was supposed to plan his retirement home. shaaaa. Go home.
“Dont scatter roses when I have gone. Give them to me while I carry on!” The funny thing is that he will be given a state funeral. The president and his convoy will spend alot during Gwanda’s funeral. He will be named a freedom fighter during his funeral. STUPID STATE!
We should learn from Mbuya’s mistakes.
What happened to all his assets
Sad that Chakuamba decided to stay in town after retirering. How about going home to CHikwawa where they are no bills and relatives take care of each other. In Malawi there are many more elderly people with next to nothing and no educated children like Chakuambas to take care of them. If Government take care of Chakuamba only then bring back Bingu Silver Grey Hair Foundation to take care of all our senior citizens. Just because he has had it easy in life does not mean he deserves free meals There are a million deserving homeless children, old people with no children in USA HELP CHAKUAMBA AND HELP ALL THE HELPLESS MALAWIANS OUT THERE
kwa amalawi anzanga tiyeni tisabwezele choyipa wazindikila kulakwa kwake mbuyayu mchifukwa wabwela poyela, akufunika mapemphelo apadela
Don’t be fooled my fellow malawians by the politicians they a crooks
So he is still living in a rented house????……shame. Amangodya ndalama akuluwa. He has been the misnister, MP……….enafe ndi aphunzitsi koma ka kanyumba kokha tidamanga ndithu.
I’m not saddened or feel for mr.chakwamba hence that’s the kind of life we live day in an’ day out kumudziku…
Malawians we should not be cheated these people are chieves. They are used to free money. Politians, musicians, footballers and other people who enjoy to be famous, please manage on your on or ask your relatives for help. Otherwise do not bother us, many Malawians have problems and are managing. While you are enjoying know that one day you will be in trouble and you will need support. Just imagine Chakwamba has a child in USA yet he still want to milk poor Malawians.
komamzoona akunenazi kapena angofuna chuma kuti amuthanize anthu
I am failing to find a reason to feel sorry for this man. He had millions when others were having a single meal a day. he had about six residential houses when others hardly had a place to stay. he was amongst those who plundered Chikangawa forest milking the government and people of this great nation millions. What about the farm and herds of cattle in the lower shire? where is all this? His stupidity rendered him a destitute person and that should be supported in anyway. I hope MHC will act next time he misses paying rentals and that he gets lost to Nsanje to dig his grave at hand
Ngati nkotheka mbuya tamalembani mabuku ngati mungakwanitse ndikumagulitsa, muona kuti muzipeza kangachepe ngati Dr. D.D. Phiri
Unfortunately in Malawi we do not have a service to assist senior citizens. This is what the former head of state Dr. Bingu wa Mutharika was actually promoting through the Bingu Silver Grey Foundation. Unfortunately because of greed, some of you people, instead of supporting him you were fighting for his downfall. Mukafuna zokumbutsa bwerani kuno msanga, zokumbutsa tili nazo, ife pano tisabise. Ukupita kuti moyo wanu, ukuza ndi madandaulo chonchi? Zoziwa izo, nkuwo wa kalulu. Adandaula dala uyo, nyenga ndiyemweyo. Munanyoza mayi Ethel Mutharika akudwala mpaka tsiku limene anatisiya, munatukwana mtundu wa chilomwe, kumanena kuti alhomwe akunyada chifukwa choti Bingu wa Mutharika ali pampando. Chilema ndi chopweteka musamachisusule, kale tinkangomenyedwa makofi ngati ng’ombe za ngolo, kungolekeredwa kuti manja anu awuma. Tinkaopa nyanga zambudzi mkamwa mulibe mano. Munthu wolengedwa ngati inu, munali ndi mphamvu zoopsya. Mau anu anali wowopsya kwambiri pamodzi ndi malemu Albert Muwalo Nqumayo, John Zenus Ungapake Tembo, ndi ena ndi ena. Chofunika pano ndichoti kapempheni kwa azimnzanu monga che Elson Bakili Muluzi. Munalitu wolemera inu kwambiri, ndiye izi zikuvuta kumvetsetsa. Munali wowuma mitima inu kwa anthu wamba. Munatipha ife amtundu wachi Malawi mwachinsisi. Ife tu mitima inatilimba za inu ndipo tinayiwala ndithu
Empathy is a human trait. Unless you are an animal, the you can criticise this man as some of you are doing. This is a man who educated many people in the Shire Valley. He bailed out Masauli by selling all his cattle to pay Chagwamnjira! Today, there is no one who feels for him. The world is really getting to an end….where is SDA? Yes, Seventh Day Adventist? That church to which he tithed? Can they not help an ailing man?
Were you in Malawi when Gwanda arrogantly chose to give up his cabinet post simply because he was asked to give up his BMW X5 and instead get a Merc like all other ministers?
If he had ‘humbled’ himself and accepted to use a mere Merc could he not have provided for his retirement? And many years before that (in the mid 1970’s to sometime around 1980/81 he was the number 2 to Kamuzu. He acquired considerable real estate – where did it all go?
Why is it that ordinary people are expected to think about the consequences of their actions while politicians can say and do whatever they like? I voted for this guy in 2004 but in all fairness he had countless opportunities to have secured his retirement long before 2004…
I thought he had investments, his own houses and businesses, what happened to them. Why should he be living in a rented house when he should have prepared a retirement home for himself way back? Where are his children and grand children, can they not come to his rescue? JZU,and many other prominent politicians retired from ative politics, but are living confortably in self-owned personal homes. What did Mbuya do with all money he made and all theinvestments he had. This is a self inflicted injury, zibwana, kkkkkkkkk. Aisova.
A Gwanda kuchititsa manyazi. Tinakuvoterani mu 2004 koma kuthawa kukajoina president wa Mlakho uja anatisiyayu. Mumaganiza kuti mudzakhala olemera. Kudandaula kwa anthu tsopano zikukutsani. Limbani mtima bambo. Mukamamva kuti ku Malawi kuli umphawi ndi zimenezo.
Kodi akudziwa kuti ndale zilibe pension. Why was he not investing his money. amangodya money. shame on him.
The old man Chakwamba – is my home boy from the Lower-states of Malawi (Chikhwawa & Nsanje) – for the old man to be drop to the low profile of looking for bail out on his personal life is pity and his own making.
He is not an ordinary man as we see him, he is connected and famous, to an extent that he is a known man in the Queen of Britain house, and she know Chakwamab by name.
It is an African norm to cerebrate our hero’s when they are dead – we talk less of the good things our mothers, father and uncles, even sisters and brother have done to us until they are dead, then only we cry, talk about him and we look for his/her fotos and books to read about him, useless. This is the time we cerebrate our hero’s men and women, young and old. Mama C Tamanda Kadzamila, she is old and living, we don’t talk about her and even cerebrate her, waiting for her to die – shame on all of us.
Unbelievable.
PEPANI MBUYA , IFENSO TILI MABVUTO
KOMA MUSATAYE MTIMA FOR THE ALMIGHTY GOD WILL PROVIDE AND WILL ALWAYS BE THERE FOR US ALL
Pepani bwana
think of the orphaned child….asamuke mtawuni apite kumuzi kulibe ma bill akalime…..a true malawian is voiceless and has made the impoverished state a life because of you corrupt politicians….fire burn booooooooooooooooooooooo babylon vampires
A Gwanda kkkkk!
Ng’ombe zonse zija unamubera kamuzu zija zili kuti. Kagulitse kuti usovere ma bill wo Mbuya.
Dexes wandisangalatsa kwambiri. Zoona munthu kumakhala nyumba ya rent yet he had millions? But failing even to build nyumba ya udzu? Zoonadi kukula matako sikudziwa kunyera.
Hahahahahaha! hehehehehe! uuuuuuuuuu! Why feel sorry for people who had it all? Malawi! Malawi! Foolish state! He had a big mansion in Nyambadwe he built using money he stole from Ministry of Agriculture in 2005 the year Bingu fired him for stealing millions and also bought himself expensive Benz. Did he sell his house? Let him go to Newslands Old Home. Mapwevupwevu anadya yekha. Even Obaba Tembo okudziwa.
Taonani ali ndi mano ambiri mkamwamo atha kuyamba ntchito. As for Dossi, Charles Simango has said that he was too poor at one time that he had lost hope of even buying a bicycle. He went for big walk in UK and did not even raise enough money to buy a ticket when he was Deputy Minister of Sports. What sensible thing can come out of him?
This is a man who terrorised Malawians when he was a strong man in MCP. This is a man who bought a brandy new BMW when he was appointed minister of agriculture under Bingu. He even challenged Malawians to ask Tembo how his tastes are very expensive, when he was asked why he was wasting money on a BMW. I am sorry, I can not feel sorry for “rats” like Chakuamba…
Oh up to living in an MHC house? But as someone has commented on this space not many people can sympathize with him given the way he treated perceived enemies of government through the Malawi Young Pioneers.
I vividly remember,Gwanda Nguluwe Nana Chakwamba used to boast that he had about twenty five strong houses across Malawi.Sopano lero kwagwanji kuti wasauka?..I can’t believe this.He is just trying to buy public sympathy.
Eeee komaso a chakwamba ndalama mumankatani Nazo?look now Mukuyaluka veteran ngati Inu.
TiphuZilepo apa politician and non politician,azathuso Ku theba uko invest before enjoyments ,atumbuka mu ndirande kamangeni nyumba ku mzuzu, tawonani ba chakwamba zamakhadi Mangoovinira.

This guy terrorised innocent people at the height of his power. He was tried and convicted for treason. Was released and given a new lease of life. He had the audacity to insult us by saying that he only drives top of the range BMWs simply to abuse our taxes.
Nde mwati lero akuti cha???????????
This dude should not lie to the nation that he is pennyless, he had all the money in the world, he had farms, in fact he has properties, etc, let him find a different tune to dance, why is he trying to buy peoples sympathy?? Iwe bulutu usatitopetse wamva dyabu mwanambwaa, ufuna ndikuthophole?? Ng’ombe zontchenene udali nazo zayenda kwaaa?!! You had money where is it now?? Gwanda usandichititse manyazi wamva!!

He could have saved for his retirement
their is no pension in politics…once yu lose yur seat, there is no compensation or gratuity..! So why is he telling us that he is falling apart..? Where are his children he educated using stolen govt money..? Nonsense
A Chakiamba zoona nthawi yonse ija nkumatiuza lero kuti muli pa nyumba ya Malawi Housing, kuteloko nyumba zinatha kugulitsa lero nkumati anthu akuthandizeni zomvetsa chisoni.Andale anzanga mutengelepo phunziro.

Pakatpa amakhala ku BCA nde kuti analephera kulipilanso? KOmano he was in a position of having houses, cash in banks etc. Za ma khadi zija palibenso baba? komanso……
Koma zoonadi? former leader of opposition and cabinet minister, mpaka pamenepa? mmmhmm. ayi nanenso ndaphunzirapo kanthu.
Mr. Gwanda I have sent Mr. Solobala with some money, meet him he has also have to tell you! you may guese!
its a joke for somebody who was once a vice president, a cabinet minister failing to even pay utility bills ndalama mumapanga nazo chani?????
How did he ran his life? All those resources and still living in a rented house?
You friends at your age are eating what they saved….. mumangodya ndalama zija mumapanga eti…. You mean you don’t have your own house at that age,,,,, you were not serious madala……….
Had a job, was being paid, most probably was also stealing public money, squandered it all and wants us to pity him and lend a helping hand. What do politicians think?
Politicians must also plan for retirement. Don’t think of milking others kwa muyaya.
Moses Dossi is right we respect only dead people nkumati anathandiza kuti ndale za ziko zisinthe, was a great son bra bra bra. Now chakuamba u mean u r putting up in a malawi housing residence, u failed even to build ur own ndata while u be been a minister on several positions? Not even ur mpumulo wa bata? No wonder u r now impoverished u didn’t play ur cards properly. Lesson to others enjoying airwaves now, u r next.
MCP has to care for him
This reminds me of Proverbs 6 vs 6-8: Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! 7 It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, 8 yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest.
Titengerepo phunziro
Sanasungire?
alibe ana kapena achibale?
Mr. Chakwamba literally terrorized many innocent people in this country, when he was a powerful minister in Kamuzi’s dictatorship. And so there are very few who will feel sorry for him.
We know he was imprisoned by his mentor, Kamuzu, at the instigation of Tembo and his clan. But Chakwamba should have sued for compensation then.
Why he did not sue, is anyone’s guess. But maybe he knew that the property that was confiscated was really not his, in the first place. If you know what I mean – corruptly obtained.
Let this be a learning moment for some of us: save, invest or do whatever it takes to protect your future. You may not always win, but do not leave things to chance.
A captain osamalankhula mwa uchitsiru. Ngati mulibe cholemba just shut up your stink mouth. Onse akufuna chithandizowa alibe ana. Ana ndi ndalama. Watch your dirty mouth
