JZU Tembo: All is well

Born in 1932,  Tembo is no longer in active politics having served for years as president of the MCP. He was succeeded by Reverend Dr. Lazuras Chakwera prior to 2014, tripartite elections in which President Peter Mutharika emerged victorious.

Heartless people on social media has been spreading rumours that JZU has died.

However, his family said Tembo was at his residence at Area 10 in Lilongwe on Tuesday.

They had been forced to refute the rumours after it caused  “panic” to the relations and friends .

JZU  is in good health,  said a statement  from the family , adding that on Tuesday he  spent time watching the World Cup matches live on television.

Malawians are asked to ignore the rumor as JZU is alive.

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!.

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!!!

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.

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.
