Police arrested Shonga on Tuesday following investigations that she was given a contract of supplying golf shirt to MERA at MK75, 000.00 each while the same golf-shirt at local markets rages MK10,000.00 to MK20,000.00 each.

MERA is among Malawi government parastatals where public funds have been ended into DPP gurus pockets.
Shonga has been using her firm “DC Brand Cloud” in getting dubious deals from former president Peter Mutharika’s Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) government.
The ‘Cash-madam’ has recently also be “entangled” in a love relationship with rapper Tay Grin as she publicly posted messages on social media boasting about their affair, branding the DPP politician-cum-singer as “Cash-king” with love statements.
Shonga has been living a boastful and luxurious life after got separated from her husband. She also dominated the social media when her nude photos were leaked to the public through social media platforms.

Ba Malawi. You have been making news lately. Mailo Kunali mukadzi okudya matuvi. Please protect our women. These are our mothers of tomorrow. It was painful to watch such a beautiful lady eating faeces like she was not a human being. Please help that beautiful woman heal and don’t laugh at her. She needs help.
Amadya misonkho yathu kodi? Timanabwatu matama aja.
this issue is complicated. the lady her quation is 75 pin and its up to MERA to look for other quatations. ine I think the problem is mera itself becoz is the one that made decision. may be issue should be how mera offered the tender and if they followed the procedures
Stupid and pathetic thinking. Didn’t you know that it takes two to tango.
This is what we call money laundering. Instead of Collins stealing the money directly, he pretended that a private company, DC Cloud was supplying t shirts and the t shirts are then over priced because the aim isn’t to buy t shirts. The aim is to steal money
The issue is not on the price of the golf shirts but rather on how the contract was given…..
A real Jezebel indeed. Fake hair, fake nails, too much lipstick and edited picture full of make-up. You wonder what her real complexion is. Today morning she will look dark like on the interview she had with Banda. In the afternoon, she will look like a colored. The other day she has a booty, another day she is flattish. Talk of uncle ndiye osayamba. Whenever she travels, the whole world would know that she has travelled and Business class. Ndala ma zokuba ku MERA chibwezi Chake Collins Magalasi. Ma covid wo ndiye kumangogawanatu. School zero, Chipungu chimavutirapo. She couldn’t even… Read more »
Anthuwa anafaatsa pa Malawipa ndithu mpakana kumazichemelera ali ndine CASH MADAM ndipo mamunache ali ndine CASH KING 🤣🥊🥊🥊💪🏾🇲🇼
The 75000 per Golf shirt is not an issue, I have bought expensinve Golf Tshirt more than that price in Mark and Spencer, The problem with people in Malawi is that they want to dress well by paying less, Most of the times I have bought expensive shoes for my sibling and my wife , for example at one point I bought a CK shoes around USD300 which was more than MK200,000 and I gave the shoes to my sibling , anthu pomufunsa they asked if I can buy them a similar shoes , when I told them the fee… Read more »
Childish comment. Shows exactly what sort of a person you are. I guess you are a show off and such a boring person in company of people.
I don’t think many people would be interested to know how much exactly you spend on clothes.
Majority of Malawians cannot afford a 75,000 t-shirt or USD300 shoes you are claiming. Most of us can afford that.
So keep those figures to yourself.
This was not personal money, it was people”s money
So you are also another Thief!we will catch you!Thanx for comng forward yourself,Mbava zonse tithana nanu.Buying a shoe at 200,000 is tht somethng to be boastful of?Infact being ndalama zokuba,u cant feel the pain buying at such amount,so shame!
who told you that it is stolen money , I do work and I spend my time studying and upgrading my studies as well, I don’t lose my focus and I aim high and I will keep on flying like an eagle , right now am looking to join another big organisation , so stop wasting time in your rubbish comments , invest your in education and think big
People have already mentioned that the quality and type of those t-shirts is sold at around 10,000 to 20,000. What I see here is that you just want to show off that you buy expensive stuff but you haven’t Understood the issue in question here. Can you compare a Mark and Spencer T-shirt to the one bought in China and supplied dubiously at some organization without following proper procedures where it is evident that the woman was being bonked by the CEO of that Organization? Understand issue before commenting please.
You are next. I am sure your genuine disposable income can not allow you that spending but because you were doing like her, life was easy. Come in the open tikufufudze ngati nawenso sugweramo.
mulira magazi , I am abroad and I can afford expensive things , for your own information I left long time before Muluzi left govtb, and am enjoying my work here , the problem with Malawians is that you spend most of the times on facebook , I don’t care whatever you say, for your own information whether a rich man and a poor man , every one has 24 hours , sionse akuba other people work for their money just like the way I do, and my company can as well afford to pay me in dollars
Then you cant understand the issue at hand here unless you were in malawi,that would have been fine.why comparing zinthu zosafanana?you are abroad and the scandal happened here in malawi bro. Unless if you come,its when you will understand it.
I think you’re missing the point. Buying t-shirts was not the issue here. The t-shirts were just a smoke screen for stealing money.
You bought with your money. This is our money. Nobody cares about your money btw
Our girls learn to work hard. And let integrity and professionalism earn us a place in the world not not at the expense of our womanhood. Shame!
Kodi the just gone gvt was lead by a jezebelic spirit eti. Which lead to plunder of poor Malawians resources.
Hmm. So the govt is rounding up “socialists”, eh?? Very interesting, hehe.
I believe the writer was looking for a word “socialite”. It fits well. Socialist means something else.
Cute

Is this case of price inflation different from that of Gafaar for the buses which he sold at an inflated price to Mutharika? Why are police then not arresting the cabinet minister Gafaar?
