Mangulama, who was born June 16 1947 and survived with eight daughters and eight grandchildren, was appointed in the Board ofTrustees by late president Bingu wa Mutharika, who was one of the founding member.

He was recently appointed Commissioner for the Civil Service and Public Reform Commission by incumbent President Peter Mutharika.

Simply put, those castigating the whole Mulhakho, on this forum, at this juncture of Mr. Mangulama’s death, and even suggesting that the death is predetermined fate of the leaders of Mulhakho wa aLhomwe, are simply ignorant individuals. fate regarding death? My foot!
Inasmuch as they have no sympathy or substantial contributions; they vent their personal frustrations at any opportunity; very inappropriate when the main subject is death of a good citizen. A very good person, who many or all the abusers never even met. Shame!
