A family member told state radio MBC that Mangulama collapsed Monday at his house and they tried to resuscitate him, but he was pronounced dead at Mwaiwathu Private Hospital in Blantyre.

The hospital official said: “Despite the efforts of everyone nothing could be done to save him.”

  12. Zilibe mwini izi. You can steal all the money and build the Casablancas but we end up dropping dead. I strongly believe in building the nation and thinking about the children we have today and those of tomorrow. You hear that Peter Muthalika and other leaders. There is not much that we need in our lives. We still sleep on one bed, drive on car and have one stomach. Rest in peace Mlomwe wosatha kuyankhula Chilomwe koma Chichewa chathu chomwechi.

  16. Wamwalira ngati Bingu, kaye nde ubale wake ndi Mulungu unali bwanji kaya apo biiii umangoziwira2

  18. A man so respectful of others. Despite the huge age gap, he always accommodated me as a friend. A true gentleman he was! Will miss him greatly!
    My heart goes out to the family!

  22. He was a very hardworking PS of his time. He was a no nonsense person. He called a spade, a spade! If you got it wrong he would call you and chastise you in love so that next time you did right. I enjoyed working with him at ministry of information before he went to Germany as Deputy Ambassador. He fought fraud at Information; he hated lacklustre and mediocrity. However, he was a happy smiler and would chat with everybody. May his soul rest in eternal peace!

  28. Inside or outside Mulhakho, Mr. Mangulama was a good man, and respected. He did more than his part in promoting Lhomwe traditions; and championing the ones worth preserving.
    He left the cultural grouping in a better position than when he started to lead it.
    An unassuming man. What a loss most importantly to his family, and extended relatives; and also to all a’Mulhakho.
    He was indeed a joyous man, or “otthapa” as they say in elhomwe.

  32. Koma abale tiziyenda chokugwa mwazizi chonchi?
    A Bingu, A Kanjere, lero ndi awa A Mangulama. Osapitako ku chipatala uli moyo? These BP, diabetic attacks are indeed cruel. MHSRIP
