Malawi VP Chilima roars for change: Moves Zomba rally with emotions
An emotional, spirited and energetic Malawi Vice President but turned opposition Saulos Chilima delivered one of his best ever political speeches that could fall in the categories of Martin Luther King with ‘I have a dream’ speech, moving the crowd at Gymkhana ground in Zomba with emotions.
It all started with former president Joyce Banda, praying that political opponents must spare the life of Chilima, saying “his mother, the late Elizabeth Valera Chilima wanted the best of his son and her soul will not rest in peace if others are busy plotting to kill her son”.
As he took to the podium, SKC, as Chilima is fondly known, told Banda that ” your speech made my eyes moist especially because you reminded me of my late mother.”
Taking it from there, Chilima said unlike others, he is in this campaign on his own and with alliance partners not “my father who organises thugs for my political opponents. I don’t have a father who works for what position I should get in life.”
This was a thinly veiled attack on President Peter Mutharika running mate Atupele Muluzi, described by many as a daddy’s boy who has never lived his own life.
For a while, Chilima unpacked Tonse Alliance manifesto but at the end he delivered message to President Mutharika, warning him that he will not stop change by trying to undermine the judiciary.
“After the 150 days that the courts gave, we will go to court. You will not intimidate us. This country belongs to Malawians. We will defend this country g. We will not fear at all,” said Chilima.
Chilima then went into a prayer that moved every one and made others shed tears as shown on television.
“I know there is almighty God in Heaven. And I pray to you Lord, remove our Poverty, Fear and Cowardice. We give this country back to you to redeem us. No matter how long the night may be, a new dawn awaits us,” prayed Chilima.
As he wound his speech, Chilima took out a Malawi national flag and in a loud emotional voice told the people that as Malawians they will be bound by the flag.
At this time, the crowd became quiet with emotions. It was Cathedral silence that you could hear the drop of a pin.
He then asked everyone to stand to sing the Malawi national anthem further sparking emotions.
Soon after the speech, social media went viral calling him a patriot and energetic.
“This is the leader. A leader who gets angry on my behalf. A leader who cries for this country. A leader who is passionate for this country,” wrote Thandi wa Pulimuheya.
Malawi is scheduled to have fresh presidential elections before July 3 as ordered by the court, Parliament meeting in Lilongwe will set the poll date with Malawi Electoral Commission proposed to be June 23.

If Chilima continues with the same spirited speech of hope for Malawi, then he is headed for victory. The Zomba rally gave the people of Malawi hope. I wish the people of Malawi peaceful campaign. Malawi the warm ♥ heart of Africa.
CHILIMA’S USAGE OF COUNTRY’S FLAG AT POLITICAL RALLY AS PARTY REGALIA ITS OUT OF ORDER
Our Dr Saulos Kraus Chilima is a political asset to Tonse Aliance, he will bring more than 1 million votes to the 1.8 million votes for the God fearing and cool man Dr Lazarus Chakwera. Imagine with this type of SKC ‘s strong speech in the Zomba Eastern Region, the eighty year old Peter Muthalika is inactive, busy sleeping and drinking “vinyo”. While the dad’s son, Atupele is making empty noises about the MK9 billion elections legal costs claim. Who is to blame, between the MEC management poor foresight and inefficient at its best and the MCP/UTM legal Team that successfully and effectively made their case. As a self claimed lawyer, Atupele is just exposing his shallow understanding of basic principles of law ? May be that explains why the boy repeated his law exams at Leistercity University.Atupele is not a strategic thinker as Chilima is, after all Atu has a mere first degree while SKC has masters and PhD degrees. With all resources at his disposal, this shows how lazy and unfocused Atu is????
DPP should have held on to this guy
Whiskey siwabwino amakukwapula msonkhano ukamatha nkuyamba kuledzera nkuzaulilira u President uja unkasimbwa kuti ukhale ndiwe. Amalira chifukwa anakumbukila mistake imene wapanga kupita Ku MCP game yagona Baba wapakaliyala sayimba Belo. Joyce Banda mpaka kumakukodola kukukumbusa malemu mayi ako iwe misozi mbweee ndi abiti Mtila ameneyo usaganize anayiwala zimene unampanga za mgwirizano. A MCP akuti apeza bulu hahahaha
Anali atangochisuta kumene. Zamanyazi.
I am a cadet and religiously hated SKC. A friend sent me a clip of his speech yesterday in zomba. I forced myself to listen to it for over 7 times. I have with my whole heart joined UTM . The Vice president loves malawi. His speech spoke of a person who is so passionate about his country. I have been in the blue camp because of Kindwani Nakhumwa . I wish these two worked together . Malawi will be different. SKC you have my vote and of my whole family and village in lomwe belt where I come from. I have realised that you are a good man and not nepotistic. God bless you.
Do not be misled by emotions emotions fromthe speaker means more things,,regreting, fears and many more
Some idiots in the country are so confused and totally biased by insisting that APM is a caretaker President and yet they are the same people who were in the forefront demanding that Saulos should revert to being VP soon after the pronouncement of the kangaroo court. My question is, in what capacity is Zeze VP and why not APM since they both served together in the previous government? Does the matter only affect APM and not Arafat?
Other lawyer’s interpretation of the law says ‘one can be known as The President after being sworn in’. Was APM not sworn in and the current Chief Justice accented? They again say: what comes from the court has to be accepted as the gospel truth; if that is the case why is there a word called INJUSTICE? Are Malawian lawyers heavenly beings that they can not make mistakes? The fact that there are ten, twenty, fifty lawyers administering INJUSTICE, it doesn’t entail fairness. Whatever the outcome of the impending exercise, Malawi will never remain the same. The tribalism, regionalism, ethnicity etc Zeze has brought out is here to stay.
This boy is supposed to be the President. Cadets can say whatever but his speech at gymkhana was the best. It reminded me of Kamuzu.
Chilima is just a cunning theatrical guy. He had a plan this day, let me move the unsuspecting Malawians. Got a flag just as he does with bags of fertilizer and then with passion managed to deliver an epic speech. I bet he has nothing left up his sleeves in as far as his theatrical prowess is concerned after pulling this one.
My concern now is the reception. I fear mediocrity in Malawi is here to stay. This is simply an act by a propagandist and if this affects your ability to reason through his points all throughout then you will dance at whatever he tells u. That’s how Hitler managed to control the germans and mobilize them to hate the jews etc, it was passionate and so charismatic. I would have Malawians say ” that’s good drama u have put up, now let’s reason properly”
Folks who dont cry in Church akuti amafuna kulira ku msokhano. That’s just the first stage to losing reason.
SKC is suffering from king Saul disease. He has got high demands of government but lacks the necessary control. Its called job related depression that’s why at the end of his speech he held the flag, started screaming and finally sung the national anthem to calm himself. If mcp denies him the finance minister job then he will surely go mad.
Thanks chilima for speech,I have been saying that you are a great leader.We are learning alot.Put citizens first should be in avery future leaders.Most malawians don’t know how rich Malawi is interms of resources.It is our resources that we can create so many jobs for every one.It is on our resources like land where you can construct more infrastructures.It is possible to turn around our economy.Munthalika awonadi nyekhwe.
Unfortunately there are some people who sees nothing wrong with their poverty, they fell very comfortably in being used. while others are busy praying and crying for them, they are happy getting K500 and stoning and organizing disorder. Such is life. This Malawi is the only country we’ve. It belongs to everyone.
Powerful and electric speech.
That was on point
Ceasar must die !!!!! Mutharika becareful with your nasty speeches against the judiciary listen to proper advises and am sure according to some reliable sources, some of your own ministers who have their hearts for Malawi have advised you the best advise ever.
God Bless LC, God bless SKC, God bless Malawi 🙏🏿
Chigawenga ichi. He has spilt blood and he has shown no remorse. He has embraced MCP’s bloody violence.
After your bodyguard shot people in Machinga, you come with pretence in Zomba. The good thing is your bad character is now known. Mutharika was stoned in Ndirande and his bodyguards never shot anyone.
Chakwera clearly said, there is no agreement about Chilima being Finance Minister and there is no rotational presidency. Ndi maloto achumba.
Munthu wa phuma uyu. Wathotholedwa mapiko ndi Malawi Crocodile Party.
Chilima is full of violence. At least we now know.
Our national anthem is spiritually rich with specific prayer points which we Malawians have been lifting up to the Almighty God for some 56 years now and God –Namalenga–has been faithful each time there has been a life threatening crisis for our homeland. Each time some deranged and greedy leaders have tried to drag the nation into self-destruction, somehow God has intervened. I remember a ‘CHAIR’ attempted to cling to power for a third term against the constitution, he flopped by just three votes! And this same power hungry care-taker President also attempted to ‘rape’ our sacred constitution after the demise of his elder brother when he unsuccessfully tried to grab power through the backdoor (Mid-night 6) in 2012, again God in answer to the anthem prayer points, stopped APM and his henchmen in his dirty tracks! And this time round the ‘OLD NOTORIOUS PAIR’ are at it again having teamed up to try and cause anarchy so that their two families can continue to hang on to power by rotational presidency. The same God that has rescued Malawi in the past IS ABOUT TO DO IT AGAIN…….” O God bless our Land of Malawi, keep it a Land of peace……..” and indeed God has always defeated (and will continue to defeat) the enemies of our beautiful Malawi especially hunger, disease and envy…..which includes coronavirus, bakilivirus and covidpeter! (Same category of dangerous viruses).Every evil attempt to drag Malawi into a failed state will be crushed by the power of the God of Malawians. Long live Malawi! God bless Malawi! Finally if your are a praying Malawian let us join forces and pray from PSALM 94. Some of us used to pray this PSALM 94 during the 2011/12 political crisis that claimed the lives of many protesters and guess what, the rest is history!
Zeus olo utavula maliseche. Uwona Nyekhwe basi.you made a mistake partnering with Mcp. That will drag you down. You were better off alone.No one cares about Mcp other than Lilongwe, not even Kasungu people
Which message here please you are compa I gotta to King Marin Luther Jnr? Orrgh my God there is no any development issues only personal. Tell the people what you will do for them. I can see people are in darkness .
Malema ndi akatundu
Anayamba zandale ndikumatsatidwa ndichigulu cha akulu ndi achinyamata
aliwa zaka 17 zakubadwa
Malinga ndi e tv
Ndiye mukunena za BWAMPINI CHILIMA
Munthu oti ndindale zomwe sazidziwankomwe
CHITSILU chongopelekeza
God is never moved by emotions. Read the bible carefully. This is just like any other staged drama. You organize violence then asked God to be on your side. God is God, May His will be done not somebody’s childish and evil will. Amen!!!
Julius Malema mumufunse
Kulikonse angalowele chinantindi cha achinyamata
Yemweyoooo! Umatiimililaaa!
Ndipo anali ndichikoooka pachilichonse
Malema role model waChilima
Sangalamule munoChilima
Mphatso zawo otelewa ndiye
Kubwebweta baaasi
Utsogoleli ayi Koma morale
Zeze ndi munthu wopusa kwabasi. He is Vice President now and aspiring Vice President in the upcoming elections. Today he was certainly high on some illicit substance and was crying for boma. Go to hell idiot.
SKC is a patriot and passionate about the plight of Malawians!!! That speech was classic.
Macadet komwe muliko mumve kuti we will not allow gwape APM to continue being caretaker president after 150days.
The Malawi Defense Force isn’t Namathanga and as such the soldiers shall protect the Constitution…. not APM!
APM will be dragged out of state house should the FPE not take place within 150days. With the prayer offered today at Gymkhana we are ready sacrifice our lives for motherland. Pronto!
kulapa After kulamula kuti mayi ndi mwana uja awombeledwe ndikuphwedwa. What a conman. osamangotengeka zilizonse a malawi.This the same way Malawians are being conned by fake pastors and men of god. Chilima hasn’t said anything about the dead boy till now. No apologies, nothing!!! Njoka iyi. kupha kwache ndi kuswa mutu basi!!!
No one has died!
Palibe amene wawomberedwa,,
Conman ndi yemwe anapha issah njaunju
Solitary cadet in the wrong board spouting vile.
Get out.
No leader in Malawi has ever made such a speech making thousands cry.
SKC is passionate about Malawi. He has a good vision for Malawi.
Ma cadet khalani choncho ndi a gwape anu achina Atupele, APM – ali chigonere kumwa vinyo ku Sanjika.
Shut up cadet.
Energetic indeed, not even afraid of upcoming fresh elections like others do…. Tonse Alliance is confident, Chakwera has been robbed of victories but this is his time…. Akalemba walemba basi
It should go down as one of the best speeches in the history of Malawi PERIOD, palibe angamake
i agree with you. It was the most powerful speeches chilima has ever produced. he roared like a lion. i was really moved too
I don’t care what anybody says, but that was a Master Piece of a Speech !!!…… I was soooooooo moved! ……..well done SKC…… wakumva amve!
I thought he was high on drugs, that epilogue was disaster and every bit strange. High on illicit stuff, next time they do mega rallies, if you do a drug test you would see for yourself the results. Even yunus mussa kept on speaking even though his time was up, protocol had to remind time and again to stop speaking. Leaders who display Psychotic behaviour cannot be the future of the nation.
You and your DIPHWIPHWI are indeed what your name is “fiti”, psychotic too. you seem to appoint yourself as leader of protocol. The Rt Hon Vice President and Tonse alliance running mate made a moving speech
Uchira cadet
You better not write anything here because you you think like a rat
Zipangani manyazi Wawa! Gologolo wakoyo sitikimufuna ndipo mupenga, out God is fighting for us!
Another lone cadet trying to spoil the great speech ever made by a leader in Malawi.
Mbala iwe, get out.
Foseki
What are you talking about mbuyanu drinks kachasu and smokes weed. He spent many years in America but came back to Malawi with only a suitcase
Chilima is vice president now and should Chakwera win he will still be vice president. AsMtambo put it if you wear and shirt inside out it does not make it new. Chilima is still Chilima the VP whether in DPP and MCP.
In the same vein, kutembenuza panti ndikuzipaka Nsete! DO the analogy as you see fit but i believe you would want to buy a new one. Ndatha ine wokondedwa.
Che bauleni, ukuoneka munthu wokula koma osadziwa kumeta mabuzi komaso pathako, ukanadziwa zimenezo bwezi Pant wako asakusunga Sete ngatiso pant ulinayetu. Umuuze Mutharika asamutse ma Pant a setewo ku Sanjika. Iwe ulibe ndi zeru zomwe. Basi zokamba zizikhala za chipongwe? Ukuona ngati Ife sitingathe kulankhula? Timasunga ulemu wathu chifukwa cholemekeza a zitsigoleri athu. Kape iwe!
