Malawi’s Moment: Why President Chakwera Deserves Five More Years

April 3, 2025 Nyasa Times 9 Comments

South African leadership consultant Pastor Chris Matebela has made a bold call for Malawians to grant President Lazarus McCarthy Chakwera another five years in office, arguing that his vision for national transformation is far from complete.

Speaking at the Global Leadership Summit at the Bingu International Convention Centre (BICC) in Lilongwe—where President Chakwera is the guest of honor—Matebela hailed Malawi’s leader as a rare visionary determined to propel the country forward.

“Malawians are truly blessed to have a leader of President Chakwera’s caliber. His vision, passion, and commitment to progress must be given time to bear full fruit,” said Matebela in his presentation, “Lead Where You Are.”

The summit, which has drawn influential leaders from 124 countries, is a platform for tackling pressing global challenges through innovative leadership solutions.

Matebela urged Malawians to embrace ambition and preparation, warning that “the next level is only for those who prepare for it—because failing to prepare is preparing to fail.”

Global Leadership Network Malawi Country Coordinator Victor Mughogho emphasized the significance of the summit, calling it a crucial forum for shaping world-class leaders.

“We are here to inspire leaders to ignite transformation. Nothing works without leadership—and good leadership,” Mughogho said.

As discussions at the summit continue, the question remains: Will Malawians heed the call to extend Chakwera’s mandate and allow his vision to fully materialize?

  2. The Malawi Government Constitution mandate must be followed. An essential part of Great leadership is empowering others. If Chakwera finds himself in a territory where he has failed to do this, then he should go with people’s blessings. He has served his mandate to a very grateful nation. Let others take the mantle of leadership.

    Malawi is a nation, not a music band. Surely, the country can find good leaders among its population. there should be NO GOING BACK to past mistakes that cost the nation so much!

  4. ”His visionary determination to propel the country forward” can best be determined/measured by his performance of his first term in office of which it is full of contamination by his own hands. His extravagant exotic and indigenous trips that were being made in expense of the country’s collapsing economy, draining even the little of our forex reserves of the poor nation until the country is left in unimaginable skinny of it’s kind. As if that is not enough he has been characteised by the most corrupt kind of leadership Malawi has ever experienced that he even came to the extent of shielding those that heavily stinks with the vise and to the worst still arresting the one who was at the forefront of fighting corruption. So, where will the country be propelled to when he is given the next term?

  6. No! His time is up. Done nothing for us but plenty for himself. Loves the sound of his voice too much.
