MCP sidzalamulilanso chipani chosamva. The party is full of mbuli and people who refuse to forget and forgive. They do not want new members in their party that is why they will never win.

Kodi aphunzitsi a CHANCO simukudziwa kamera et. Kameraman take good photos of this senior lecturer. We used to have problem with APM’s photos. But on average his cameraman produces good photos. Although there is a saying that a camera does not tell lies but sometimes it can tell lies by telling the subjects to pause until the subject smiles. Look at the gent. Amayi bwanji kungokhala wopsa mtima nthawai zonse. Smile at the camera unless you face DPP cameraman.
MCP 2019 BOMA!!!
@ 35 chakwera ufumu wake uli kumwamba,kumwamba kwake kuti?
Don’t talk of MCP leaving your parties with lots of nkhaza. Did Matafale killed by MCP? What about Chasowa. The killers moved out of MCP and started their own parties like Udf ‘,dpp and pp. They have even managed divided the once unified Malawi . Why then talking of MCP simple matter when you have your cashgate parties killing innocent Malawians. MCP is ruling Malawi again come 2019.
These were not MCP members but DPP cadets disguising themselves as MCP. Ngani yili apa ndi yalomwe kunamisira kuti ndima yufi nja MCP. Munganize wanthu inu kodi youth league yinali mu ndawi yanji? Moti wanthuwa sakukula ? Ine ndudziwa MCP ngamasikuwano yilibe simenesi yawa ndi wa DPP woyambitsa ndeu mchilambo muno.
