Mary Chilima rap music video trending: BBC features the ‘Michelle Obama factor’ in Malawi campaign
Campaign is coming in all sorts of forms. But one that UTM Party is displaying is something else. When UTM presidential candidate who is also the country’s vice president Saulos Chilima is addressing Imbizos into the night, his wife, Mary is also doing her own campaign.
This week, Mary Chilima released a music video which is a response to rapper Phyzix’s political song ‘Mutipatsa?’ It went viral within minutes of its release.
In the music video, Mary Chilima is assuring the people that ‘yes indeed Saulos and Usi ticket will deliver’.
The professionally shot video starts with a news conference where a reporter (played by Hellen Chabunya) is asking Mary Chilima, ‘Mutipatsa?’
The vocal arrangement and the rapping by Mary Chilima has shown her other artistic side. She raps so well with clear message delivery.
The costume is also great. She fits so well, whether in UTM t shirts and new UTM track suits.
The dancing is also marvelous to watch.
People on social media have been sharing the video since its release Thursday morning and it is trending.
The language used in the song is targeting the youth who traditionally vote in large numbers.
She uses words like ‘Bea’ meaning lover or ‘Tiiphula’ meaning ‘we will win the game’.
“Apapa game yapita kwa kuya (This video has put the political campaign game beyond reach of other candidates),” remarked one social media user, Maxwell Thawani.
The song even attracted the attention of the BBC which featured her story on its BBC Focus on Africa programme on Thursday evening.
It has also been reported on various news sites in Africa , including on Mwebantu a leading online news website and social media platform in Zambia
Mary Chilima is helping her husband in the campaign not only through songs.She has been visiting community colleges targeting the youth vote too.
While her husband is getting stuck in the mud in rural areas trying to get votes for State House on May 21, she has also been on her tour of her own.
Just like Michelle Obama helped her husband Barack Obama to win support in the USA elections, Mary Chilima has also borrowed a leaf to seek votes for her husband.
Her charming beauty and good sense of fashion is helping matters.
“This is the First Lady we would want in the State House. She is selfless, she is just loved by all people, even when she is visiting hospitals and carrying babies, they just smile, si zinazi ayi,” remarked another social media user Mickless Mangondo.
Mary, a graduate of University of Malawi, The Polytechnic, met Saulos in the early 90s and got married in a colourful wedding in Blantyre in the early 2000.
The couple has two children together, Shaun and Elizabeth.
Mary worked in the banking sector before quitting to concentrate on her business and philanthropic duties.
With the trending music video and the blistering campaign, can ‘Rango’ manage something like this?

Leadership is a serious business and leading a country is not like leading a group of discussions.
Mind you people to vote is your right and choice but for He who’s passionate to serve not the one hungry for power. I don’t see that spirit in your Chilima. Why is he telling us now the things he kept silence for 4 solid years and being part of the same government too. A s a good leader he could be telling us these scandals the time we were struggling. And it is Him who did all these if we are to remember. Malawians woke up, Lets be praying for our Nation that God should help us with those that are passionate to serve.
The influence that came from few individuals who were not given what they expected from the State President and decided to dump Him and mobilise themselves to form their own party made him too to dump the people who took him from the ground and he accepted to do an evil act. hahahahahahahahahahah Am not a supporter of DPP.
The song is very good. But I have one reservation when Mary argues Chilima is in Government to reveal corruption. That’s nonsense where he all along? As a good patriot we expected your husband to play proactive role in curbing Corp and evils Malawians are subjected to. You are simply shielding criminals!
Boma iloooo
Abale, nkhani iyiyi zamukhudza bwanji Rango? Anyway, Chilima boma! Pa 21 May kuti Chongu!
hahahahahaha
Sangawine awa akungovutika … Chilima is just wasting his time can not wine .anapeza kale nyumba ya rent Ku south Africa pa 21 akusowa mmalawi muno
Waboza iwe. Sukuzisata zinthuzi. Sometimes you are better off being quite that pretending to know something. Chilima awina and I could have said the same even if I was not supporting him.
Chitsurudi ameneyu.Ife nga Chilima.
I guarantee you that he will certainly WINE after he wins
I repeat today that the author James Nthondo is UTM cadet.
May God bless the first lady in waiting. People can say whatever but Mary is exquisite. She is in a league of her own. Cute and intelligent.
You’re indeed poor in your head
Of course whatever but she won’t be Malawi’s first lady for now until his man becomes a real politician….
we dont need a politician we need a president
Desparation on the part of chilima.i have also problems with mary chilima.what she doing in supporting her husband is creating future misery for herself.if her husband wins as per her wishes,if means too much zipping down.she will be the one grinding her teeth in rage while the husband will be away pounding other women
HAHAHAH Can What ?? do the same ??
😂😂😂😂
hahahahahahaha
Sha! Za Rango zapitilira?
Mary is doing just great. To say the fact she could make a good first lady, and not just because of the track but the way she present herself and other issues!!!!
I’m not a DPP sympathizer, but I wouldn’t condone such cheap journalism The author’s political colors are painted all over the text. Nothing wrong expressing your admiration for the Chilima family but you dont have to insult the first lady. It’s not beauty or charm that brings in voters but consistence of good character, issue based campaigning & packaging of campaign message. Last time I checked Nyasatimes is not a UTM mouthpiece. Blantly put, UTM cannot win no matter how much you throw insults at other competitors.
I agree. Mwanyoza first lady mama getrude mutharika.
Anyozapo first Lady apa?
Za ZIIII
Mpaka Rango?
Who is ‘Rango’?
Chilima strategies have forced other candidates to abandon their Manifestos and begin to say things that they never prepared. They have realized that whatever Chilima says the populace is supportive and convinced. Musadabwe mwanayu akutenga boma. He deserves it.
Ignorance at its best
Nchifukwa tulunena kuti enawa achepa. Chilima ndi strategist. He has a formidable team around him with right machinery to win the elections. The traditional voting blocks have completed been shuttered with Chilima participating. Through his sound strategies Chilima helped DPP win 2014 elections. Pulofesala and co know this.
sound strategies or rigging strategies?
KKKKKK muoneni kuputsa! Anzako uli nawowo mamuna wakoyo anadyatu ngati sukuziwa. Ndiye muzakhala ma first lady angati kkkkkkkk
Kumeneko ndikunyoza amai kodi inu aDPP basi munangokhala anthu otukwana
Sitikufuna anthu opanda ulemu thats why sindikufunaso DPP
ndikuona kuchedwa kukavota ndithu
Othondo,the issue here is not about the first lady to be,that video is for you and members of your family.How much have you pocketed from this lady?Mind you,Bumphula,Tulonkhondo,Lelebzya,Njonja,Cheyadi and Tembwe remain royal to their party not THE KABAZA PARTY IN THE CITIES,having even no single branch in the areas mentioned above.Let BBC vote for your TOUBAB.
Beautiful
The song shows how desperate Chilima is. Mpaka magitala and rapping?
FOOLISH PRODUCTION,she sounds stupit ! How canshe be proud to mention the most shameful character of her husband that he(chilima) have been dating local girls …… Bra bra bra …useless
Wow!!!! Any challengers? Mai Chakwera mulipo? Nanga a biti Mia? Getu bwa? Tivutikeso ndi mayi Chimulilenji?? Congrats Mama Chilima, Mumakwana
Kikikikikiki ayiyayaya can Rango manage something like this??
Eeeee mayi wathu musiyeni iye wavina apa. Inu amene mukuyamikila yamikilani zamkazi Wa chilimayooo. Ife mayi wathu sangapange zimenezo si size yawo. Izi mza inu ana achipani chofiira ndi mayi wanu pangani zanu.
