May the soul of honorable Sidik Mia rest in peace. You will surely be in the history books of Malawi for your dedication to national duty.
Nanenso a kazako. Malawi lost 3 ministers and an MP in one day before
COVID ili apo koma kanayikidwako mwa ulemu as Ministers. Appropriate Military honours and MBC coverage.
Rest in Peace our dear Ministers. Tidzasowa umunthu ndi ntchito zanu zothandiza aMia. Sindikonda kumamvetsera anthu a ndale akamalankhula zawozawo koma mukamalankhula inu ndimamvetsera. Mzlmu wanu ukawuse mumtendere.
Two ministers one family,surely something has to give inn. Covid 19 has just set one record straight. Too much Greedy.
Stupid, death is death, time for crying is time for crying. Bingu and Peter Mutharika ruling Malawi for 14 years, was this not too much greedy??????? And now nephew Dr. Kabambe wants to take DPP leadership on a silver platter????
In a merica this happened mwanje wa bush
You are not safe like anyone else. Don’t ask your ancestor spirits to take you any day as you seem to be desperate to go to heaven now now.
Leave things of creation alone and repent.
