Mulhakho wa Alhomwe to host fundraising dinner and dance Friday: Mutharika guest of honour
Tribal grouping, Mulhakho wa Alhomwe (MWA), which has step up preparations for its annual celebrations in October, will this Friday, September 18 hold fundraising dinner and dance at Sports Complex in Blantyre.
President Peter Mutharika, who has already confirmed his attendance will be the guest of honour at the event aimed to raise funds for Mulhakho wa Alhomwe celebrations which are held at Chonde in Mulanje district.
The dinner and dance is among a series of fundraising activities the eight year-old cultural lined up to support this year’s celebrations, according to the grouping’s Chief Executive Officer, Mchanakwaye Mpuluka.
A Platinum table for ten people has been pegged at K800,000 while gold and silver tables have been pegged at K500,000 and K300,000, respectively.
“This only entails that a platinum seat will go at K80,000, likewise gold and silver seats will be at K50,000 and K30,000 each, respectively. So, individuals can always buy a seat and have the fun until they drop off,” said Mpuluka.
Last month they staged a fundraising golf tournamnet that saw the participation of Vice President Saulos Klaus Chilima, who also pledged K1 million towards the annual celebrations.
Last year, the grouping raised over K50 million from similar activities.
Mulhakho is a cultural group headed by a Board of Trust and coordinated a secretariat on behalf of all Lhomwe people.
The grouping was registered under the Trustees Incorporation Act to promote the Lhomwe culture and it also brings together all the across the nation and beyond.
Members of MWA are distributed across the country, but the population is concentrated in the Shire Highlands districts of Blantyre, Chiradzulu, Mulanje, Thyolo, Phalombe and Zomba.
keep on eating our money, tax payers money, only God knows how to punish you idiots
Preserving culture what? This grouping is like a cancerous tumor, it is slowly infect Malawi and if its not wiped ASAP, it will infect the whole nation. This grouping operates like the Jesuits silent killers smilling but with a lot of hidden agendas. This is not the time to waste in the name of preserving culture, repent Jesus is coming soon. Be focused on HEAVEN
No! People should understand this,we did not choose to born to this famous and royal tribe of Alomwe,so Noophiya!
kkkkkk iwe number 17 samala mano ….
I don’t mind Mapeto DWS paying K7.5m in order to sit next to the President on the high table during the fund raising dinner bcoz he will recover the money when the Mulhakho wa Alhomwe orders thousands of Commemoration Cloth for this year’s event at Chonde BUT my question is on the Malawian lady who paid K7m to sit next to the First Lady, where does she work or what type of business does she operate in Malawi?
Kodi maliro ali pa chithuziwa ngoyika liti?
Za ziiiii
Promoting culture, whether Lhomwe or any tribal culture is a good thing but using the grouping as a lobby for government contracts and positions is very unfortunate! # MRA# Namalimba(check the spelling! Osathamanga magazi!!!!)
I can’t wait just give me account number coz am currently out of Malawi.
I am sorry Chilima to donate K1 million when we have children failing to K250,000 as tuition fees at Unima,Luarna and even at a CDSS. Dr Chilima should help on necessary events and not where his money will not give value as ppl will contract HIV.
Mapwevupwevu tribe!But failing to fundraise for the benefits of the whole nation.Mapazi anu!
Ndalama asonkha kale amwenye.
Sports complex in Blantyre ndi yitiyo
HTD…..HTD……….HTD……………..HTD! You have an assignment here!
The reporter has just reported facts about the Cultural Grouping without subtractions or additions. If journos can be doing this, I feel tempers will not rise…
Keep it up reporter!
good opportunity for the so called well wishers you will see ma kanjo and mandevu running around APM. APM has to cover for the money he received from china and deposit in foreign account for him and his well wisher to mention.
If our leaders were to fundraise money for dialysis equipments for all the three regions and training of staff , alot of lives will be saved. Sad.
You guys have good ways for fundraising! Keep it up!
Next month’s celebrations, at Choonde, should be a blast. Hopefully, the best. And they should be in remembrance of the late President Bingu, and Paramount Chief Mkhumba. ALhomwe want to encourage associating with other cultural groups. To this end, others are encouraged to come to this festival; and enjoy.
One thing aLhomwe will ask as a favor though: is for the “visitors” to leave the women alone. They are all spoken for. Kkkkkkkkk.
By the way did these people paid back the money looted from National Aids Council? What about the first lady thief did she pay back?
Fund raising will be done at 95% by the usual “well wisher” = Reserve Bank of Malawi account number 1.
