It is key that we keep respecting elders. Nobody rejoices one’s death regardless of circumstances or differences we have. This must stop because it is seriously unbecoming and unethical. Whether we like it or not, we will all go that route one day and don’t EVER FORGET THIS SIMPLE UNDENIABLE FACT!.
Father and true legend of all times we always proud of u sir u always stand for justice. In political game there is no one we can compare u have my blessings long live father.
MACRA SHOW US YOUR SPY MACHINE.
THE IDIOT WHO STARTED THIS MUST BE EXPOSED
The MALAWI moral fibre is long gone. Political leaders of the democratic Malawi killed the old and traditional Malawi values. Now we see kids kutukwana akulu akulu on podiums, killing their own families, stealing from their own people and now posting very disturbing and untruths on social media. Whose mother’s child does that. Spending hours and hours writing worse that would hurt people. What a broken society is this that our political leaders have created. You political leaders, wherever you are; can you now see what examples you have created to the youths of today. Please provide good examples to these kids…..be ethical and moral so as to create an ethical and moral Malawi that we all can be proud of tomorrow.
You can repeat this again and again. So true
The need for cyber crime law to crack down such heartless people..
for what
Amalawi, umunthu unapita kuti? JZU, I pray for your good health. You are one of the greatest sons of Malawi. Your absence in active politics is being felt by many, more especially in MCP where unity and political tolerance were supreme. Continue enjoying good health Baba!!!
nthawi izakwana
A Malawi ndife anthu opusa kwambiri. We all are going to die no matter what we do or say. We should not be spreading such rumours and after all the man is in retirement and is not inflicting pain on us like Pitala or Bingu.
Uchisilu sumaposa apa. What is the motivation to spread ch type of rumours? Heartless people
even JZU is not an angel either ask us who grew up during kamuzu regime
I request you to say “aMalawi wena ndiopusa kwambiri” because we have very intelligent Malawians like you and me who would not think of posting such rubbish on social media. God bless for showing your displeasure with the rumour though.
