MCP 2nd veep condoles the Mia family
Malawi Congress Party (MCP) second vice president Harry Mkandawire travelled from his base in Mzuzu to Chikwawa to condole the family of the party’s first vice president Sidik Mia following his death.
Mkandawire’s trip to Chikwawa came amid accusations that no top party official or government official attended the funeral and burial ceremony of the powerful cabinet minister and financier of the MCP.
He said the death of Mia is a big loss to the nation as he was very patriotic and had the welfare of his countrymen at heart.
Mkandawire said the country and entire MCP family across the nation is deeply saddened by the death of Mia who was dedicated to duty.
In his tribute. Mkandawire said many in MCP and even others outside the party tapped from Mia’s vast experience and knowledge.
“I came here representing the party. We are ravaged with grief at the loss of Honourable Sidik Mia who was our first vice president in the party. We were relying on him to support the party structures and yes we were relying on him for he demonstrated unwavering support to President Dr. Lazarus Chakwera, the nation and party. Dr Chakwera is deeply saddened by this loss,” said Mkandawire.
Mkandawire added that Mia could best be remembered by many with his selfless and generous personality, saying the fallen politician committed his resources to supporting party structures on the ground as well as extending his hands to the less privileged in his home district and beyond.
“You can recall how right honourable Mia contributed to the success of MCP convention. He was very instrumental not only to the party but even to people from his constituency. He was man of the people and am at loss of words. You can also recall that some quarters thought he would not relinquish his position to the Vice President Dr. Saulos Klaus Chilima when we were forming the Tonse Alliance.
“This just attest to the fact that he put his country first. I have told the Deputy Minister of Lands Abida Mia that the party, the nation and the President is grieving with the family. I have urged her to continue the legacy of honour,” he said.
The Cabinet Minister succumbed to Covid-19 on Tuesday, January 12 a few hours after another Cabinet Minister Lingson Belekanyama passed on to the same pandemic.
The Malawi leader directed that the nation observes three days of national mourning and all flags should fly at half mast.
Mkandawire was in company of deputy presidential advisor on religious affairs, Sheikh Hashim Abasi.

The condolence has come too late.
Where were you when the family needed you most.
A friend indeed is a friend in need.
You gave the family a cold shoulder at the time when they needed you most.
I will not be surprised if Abida Mia resigns from her position in protest.
I see no reason why you should attack Sheikh Kasiya for the voice note. He was 100% correct to expose this malafidy(Dausi quote)
Sheikh Kasiya,I support you,Tonse Government isn’t for Tonse ..Muslims are not liked.They forget late late Alhaj Mia contributed alot;campaign tiressly,financially for Tonse /Chakwera to win.
They must give us reasons why they did that.
Harry mphuno bii bii,going to chikwawa ati to condole.Utesi pera,chilipo icho ukapukwa,kukhizga ukalekelachi kukakhuza while fresh,thupi lili pa chanya?No soni.
Sheikh Kasiya,you could have refused escorting him to Mia family.
Anthu oyipa awa….Tonse
MCP,siyizatheka ndithu.
Nkhalo zene zili za chiyamwaka….forsake.
Be careful,you can not finish 5 years,change your mind set.

Chipani cha sankho kumutaya Mia just because he was amoslem shame on you ,u came coz of that audio from shareef kaisi
Great loss indeed. The two were dedicated Ministers. Mia family, sorry. Belekanyama family too
The intersectionality of Mia as a southerner and as a Muslim cannot be downplayed. Attack Sheikh Kaisi all you want, but even Gwanda had to leave MCP and form Republican Party because he said, in his own words, MCP sees everyone outside central region as an outsider. So it has come to pass with Mia. You better hope Abida does not resign from cabinet. You better hope Saulosi is with you now he knows you been secretly planning 2025. You better hope too that you can find another reputable southerner to be MCP VP. You better hope the current political undercurrents of meetings in Area 3, Namiwawa and Karonga are just imaginary. Capturing Malawi media and some journalists won’t save the day. Beware of the Ides of March.
The divisive mentality of Bakili Muluzi and the eccentric Muthalika families was a total flop in June 2020 elections and will never ever succeed again. This is not 1994 but 2021, we are in an era where 50 + 1 majority to elect a president, needs more than one region and religion.
Bola dipipi inatuluka
Good that he went to clear the party’s image though too late
Zamanyazi
Did it need his fellow moslems to cry out for you to visit? Simunachite bwino. As the guy rightly said, you could have even stood far away. The message would be in the presence.
Shame on you MCP and it’s leadership. You have come because of what Brother Kayisi said. Shame!!!
All the way from mzuzu to Ngabu, to pay condolences, where are Lilongwe MCP members, the president, his vice, NEC members and senior ministers. They all closed there eyes and ears,, That shows, they are all happy with the death of there prominent financier, there vice President who committed himself , helping MCP to come to power. But they all pretended, not knowing him at all. So shameful to MCP. May hon Mia’ soul rest in peace.
Stupid gesture. Where were you?
Are you not aware that the Mkakas, Ken Kandodos, Kazombos, and many more are amongst those who attended the same cabinet meeting that the late two Ministers attended and were therefore in self-isolation????? You are just demonstrating your cheap and low thinking capacity. You must be more than stupid for that matter
Where were you
Makandawire kneeling down. This is a confession that no Tonse official was present during late Mia’s burial. The voice note has been vindicated and those who attacked the man of God including Ali Nasser must be ashamed.
The body language of Harry Mkandawire in this picture is very clear, very remose that MCP never bothered to accord him the much needed respect, what a shame
Condolences to the Mia family however why mkandawire and his colleagues comes now?
