  4. aNAC dola munapatsa mabungwe la Mathanyula ndi Nkhwangwa yake tengani gulilani makondomu apite kwa anzathu akukhala m’mathenti kamba ka madzi osefukila chifukwa m’matentimo AZINGOPWALANA mapuleni EDZI inkela ntsogolo. Iyi ndi ngamo a NAC…………On a rather serious note, to you all brandishing your FWE FWE FWE misplaced hatred for Tumbukas. For once why don’t you accept the superiority of my PEOPLE over your slumbering central and southern region tribes. Malawian history testifies openly that Northerners are far more civilized than you people. So, swallow your pomp and pride and give us the respect we deserve for we have contributed much more than you to the upliftment of our nation.

    1. Shut up! Galu iwe, ikufuna anthu ayabe kudana ndi kuyamba chipolowe chifukwa za nosense ukukambazo zo sankha tribes. Fotseki. Osayambitsa chipolowe. Tonse ndife a malawi, ti thandizane pamene pali mavuto..

  5. Ambiri mwa inu aphwanga ndakuwonani nanunso mukufunika chithandizo dziko laeni mukukhalalo. Tangobweranikoni, kapena tisonkhe pang’onopang’ono tizakutengeni. How can the multitude of you raise a meagre 1300 Rands towards a colossal mishappening that has begotten us?

  8. Dalitso, you are wrong, the department has always had poyambira as govt but cannot reach out to everyone this is why they are appealing to well wishers, learn to give and you will be blessed.

  9. Giving a hand to someone who is in problem it’s a blessings May God bless you guys for your contribution

  14. what has the department of disaster and preparedness done? I thought this department is fully equipped for this kind situation. Correct me if am wrong…

  15. Thank you Malawians in RSA and the Embassy…timaona ngati mumangokhalila maganyutu. Iyayi zabwino ndithu.

  16. Takunyadilani anyamata aku Embassy for the initiative. Imeneyo ndiye Embassy yomwe tikufuna. Komabe muzitiganizira ife anthu tili ku Durban, Cape Town, Port Elizabeth and other areas. Nthawi zambiri focus is on Pretoria and Jo’burg. Apart from kupereka ndalama, we have some relief items to donate as well. Titani? Advise.

  17. Those present contributed 1350 rands, seriously how much was each one contributing. Zoona joni ndi joni kamapereka ma 10 rand?

  18. Iwe Fathar ngati umadana ndi atumbuka izo ndi zako, ndipati apa pamene palembedwa utumbuka? Mwapangapo chani inu posintha ndale muno mu Malawi koposa atumbuka? Chimene mwathandiza kwambiri ndiye kuberekana ngati mbewa. Sukulu ayi ,makani basi ndi kunyoza. Sorry you short sighted people you even not know to say NO when things are not well. Always yes as longer the leader is from your region or tribe.

  21. Ndamunyadira uyu akuti tipange mapaper friday,saturday ndi sunday zimezi ndiye nzeru osakhala chisilu chikukamba zapitalachi

  24. But if it was about presidential wedding then u come up with biggest donation but coz its flood victims and its not campaign time u feel no pressure

  26. Kodi iwe Mbuli Fathara you seem to have so much hate for Tumbukas?Are these problems in Malawi made by Tumbukas?Is this incompetent govt led by Tumbukas? Are these massive siphoning of Nac funds for your outdated culture made by Tumbukas.Why cant you just admit that the Nepotistic Lomwe govt has failed to run this tiny impoverished country.What they know is to rescue their outdated tribal grouping.Stop blaming Tumbukas for your incompetency or try Tumbukas and see how Malawi will change overnight as another Taiwan in Africa.Just remove your blind loyalty and vote for competent people and forget about your tribal affiliation.Leave Tumbukas alone.The failed Pitala is your Lomwe grandfather.

  29. KOMA ANTHU INUYO MENE MUKUNYOZANU MULUNGU AZIKUKHULULUKILANI. KUMUDA KUMENE MUKUMUDA PETER SIKUKUTHANDIZANI CHINA CHILICHONSE.
