Pepani anamfedwa, yan’ganani maso anu kwa chauta pepani
Very few humble people exist on this earth & to lose such a man who had such a position as his but yet showed great humbleness is a big blow. This is truly an example as to why the question of “Why do the good die young?” exists. Being that I met him & even had the opportunity to speak to him makes this loss even that much harder. I hate that we are on this earth suffering & hurting, I wish there was a better way, a much easier road to take. You led a well meaningful life. Raised amazing children & had a strong amazing wife to share this journey called life. Only if it was possible to keep people like you Mr. Mwase for a life time, that wish would have been granted in a hear beat, may your soul R.I.P.
Very bad, good pipo dont live long bcoz devil wants them to stop the good they are doing. He taught me at Dedza Sec School around 1982 -86, he was such a nice teacher you could talk to and he knew his job well, he never favoured any, not even those from his home north. he was a wonderful man and stood in justice come rain or sunshine. If you are northerner and you are wrong he pronounced it no matter. It is my belief that he did that bcoz he loved God and not only to be noticed by men. If thats the case he is with the Lord and no need for us to cry.
May his soul rest in peace
RIP
Vrey sad. A familiar face in Zomba. I liked the guy, very humble and aided Chanco academics during the Academic Freedom Saga when he was judge there by issuing injunctions againt the late night firings of Jessie Kabwila, Franz Amin and Garton Kamchedzera. He even adopted a little girl whom he was paying for at Sir Harry Johnston International school.
He will be missed. R.I.P

I agree to all the comments madeM The man was full of humility. Enanu tatengeranipo chitsanzo chabwinochi. He was polite but still a High Court Judge. Keep it up Chikopa also so approachjable.
May his soul rest in internal peace and comfort the family
Very sad indeed. Malawi has lost one of the hard wirking, humble, examplary and frienly Judge. very sorry indded. RIP

R.I.P!
Pepani ana inu. Awuse mu mtendere.
Pepani alongosi anyaChitaya this is a big loss.
I used to interact with him in Zomba, he was a very humble man. May his soul rest in peace.
ASAAAAAA……A HUMBLE JUDGE…..A GENTLEMAN…NEVER CONSIDERED HIMSELF AS A’god’ LIKE OTHERS WHO TAKE OFFENCE IF NOT ADDRESSED AS ‘LORDS’ GO YE WELL MY FRIEND….
I know Justice Mwase personally, He was like a father me…
Very kind and humble judge…
May the God Lord hold the bereaved family’s hand during this trying moments. RIP our father.
Yayi ba chitaya pephani ciuta yekha ndiyo wakumanya vyose
Sorry to the bereaved family .
Another big loss to the nation RIP
Its agreat loss to the judiciary!
A very hard working man indeed. I know of some people who were already Magistrates when Bob Mwase was an unqualified primary school teacher somewhere near Malamulo. Some are still magistrates. But Bob went on to teach in secondary schools (including Dedza Sec School) after mature entry at Chanco and went back there to study Law, became High Court Judge. Two people Bingu did not like and have gone to the Lord together, Zuza – Catholic and Mwase – Seventh Day Adventist (bwanji nthawi ya Bingu m’mene milandu yokhuza boma imabvutila ku Zomba High Court).
RIP. Ambuye MULUNGU. Wa chifundo. Tikukupem’mphani kuti mzimu wawo uwuse muntendere zikomo
So sad! A humble judge once ate with him from the same plate at kamwe where he married! Rip Mwase
He was a gentleman, a dedicated Adventist and a very distinguished reader of the Law. May His Soul Rest in Peace
MHSRIP.
PEPANI ABALE KWASALA NDI IFE KUFELA MWA AMBUYE
