  1. Sorry for the bad news of deaths. Mzimba people looks like they are loosing lives more compairing with other districts. Its not only because most of them are in south Africa no! But let us also have a look at what makes them to be in the worst side. Akafukufuku mutapanga zanu mukudziwa inu mudzapeza zeni zeni zomwe zimatibweretsera mavutowa.

    1. Most of these died of other causes other than covid 19, and people living in SA have been dying before covid only that then there was no press coverage. Vehicles carry dead bodies between SA and Malawi in numbers.
