Malawi repatriates ex-president Muluzi caught up in South Africa lockdown
Former president Bakili Muluzi was caught in coronavirus lockdown in South Africa where he had gone for his usual medical attention.
Sources said after his duration for medical attention expired, Malawi’s first president in democratic Malawi could not get out of Cape Town and had to be restricted to his hotel due to the coronavirus.
Sources in government say this prompted the Malawi government to charter a plane to bring him and his aides back to Malawi.
“It could have been very expensive to keep him and his aides in South Africa because we don’t know when the lockdown would end,” said a government official.
Muluzi and his aides are now on self quarantine at the former president’s residence at BCA Hill residence in Blantyre.
UDF spokesperson Ken Ndanga has confirmed that Muluzi is back from South Africa having been stuck in a lockdown in South Africa.
Muluzi is Constitutionally entitled to a state funded medical care.

the country is using a clause in the chapter in which it has a duty to its citizens , inb times of emergency, i wonder how many malawians elsewhere wpould be repatriated or even wetrher it was not posible to use a malawian airline aircraft which seats 130 people instead of hiring a south african aircraft, the answer is. if it was a malawian aircraft, the accounting would have been transparent, because even the eithipian president flies a scheduled Ethipion airlines flight
DPP flew him back to help in rigging election. Takulandilani achakulungwa koma kukhale chete ulendo uno….ndinu osokoneza in our ndale
B.Muluzi is the former President of Malawi and we need to give him respect. After all we shall never have a leader like him in Malawi never and never again.
Indeed he deserves respect, he is not just an ordinary person, but an elderly statesman and former President. Congratulations to the Malawian gvt for according Mr Bakili Muluzi the respect he deserves.
Yes, never again a THIEF
Should have had invested in our health system when in office instead of stealing. You wouldn’t have needed to travel abroad for treatments.

Only Malawi can be stupid enough to charter an aircraft to bring back someone that is failing to account for MK1.7BN of Public Funds….
The amount of money (Our Taxes) spent on this one person (K1.8 billion thief) could have brought all our starving malawians in RSA by buses. Which is better saving 1 life or 1,000 lives? Any logic in this govt. actions???? ma rubbish!!!
How I wish common sense was so common! Mtondoli you are another dunderhead ! Muluzi has entitlements and this is not negotiable! Go back to school young boy , this time to the right school
