Malawi first female minister Rose Chibambo down with heart attack
Malawi’s first female cabinet minister Rose Chibambo has been hospitalised at Mwaiwathu Private Hospital in Blantyre due to heart attack.
Her granddaughter Cecelia Kamanga said Chibambo was rushed to the hospital on Monday after the attack.
Chibambo was in the first Kamuzu Banda cabinet in 1964 and the picture of the young beautiful Chibambo is on Malawi’s K200 note.
Kamanga then drummed up support for her hospital bills and welfare saying although she is a hero, her picture gracing on the currency, she sometimes uses public transport.
“She had to request for transport to go to hospital,” said the granddaughter.
Chibambo survived a cabinet crisis in 1964 that saw the rise against Kamuzu Banda by some cabinet ministers. This led to the killing of Yatuta Chisiza and his brother Dunduzu Chisiza and other key cabinet ministers like Masauko Chipembere and Kanyama Chiume fleeing the country as Kamuzu mercilessly hunted them to have them killed.

A Malawi inu!! Mzatsiya liti kutukwana? Give your elders some the respect they deserve! The author of this article and the granddaughter have not forced anybody to give but only for those who have a heart to come forward to help. It is not proper to mention names and brand them as non thinkers towards their mother as some have perceived. Life doesn’t mean that all should own a car or everything, it comes at a time when somebody somehow will lack something. Galimoto zimatha nthawi zina and may not be easily replaced.
