Mulhako wa Alhomwe set for annual feast with K80m budget
This year’s annual celebrations for tribal grouping, Mulhako wa Alhomwe have been moved from October 25 to November 8 2015 and their budget is slightly over K80 million.
The cultural grouping, formed in 2007 and headed by Board of Trustees and coordinated by a secretariat , has been holding its annual celebrations on October 25 at their headquarters, Chonde in southern district of Mulanje.
The change, according to their Administrative Secretary, Muchanakwaye Mpuluka, was necessitated by the untimely death of their Board Chair Bright Mangulama.
Magulama, who was career civil servant died in August after collapsing at his home in Blantyre.
“The death of our father and Board Chair (of Trustees) Bright Mangulama paralyzed all the preparations for this annual celebrations. The death also affected a number fundraising initiatives that we had lined up in readiness for the annual festival. We could not proceed with some activities to mourn our dear father.
“As such, we had to move it from the designated month (October) to November 8 to give organizers enough time for preparations,” said Mpuluka, disclosing that this year’s annual celebrations will consume K80 million.
He said the cultural grouping has received donations in cash and kind from different individuals and institutions.
“In terms of cash, we have about K30 million, but some individuals and institutions committed to provide various services and items including food stuff and vehicles to ease mobility challenges on the day.
“The monetary value for the services and various items we have received is K50 million plus. As such, we highly appreciate the support, donations we have received and we look forward to having successful annual celebrations,” said Mpuluka.
He said the annual celebrations promote their culture and brings together all the Lhomwes across the country and beyond.
Mpuluka also said they have extended invitations to other cultural tribes and that the celebrations’ itinerary will be ready by the end of this month.
Members of this cultural grouping are spread across the country, but they highly concentrated in the shire district of Chiradzulu, Mulanje, Phalombe, Thyolo, Blantyre and Zomba.
Mulhako wa Alhomwe was established (in 2007) by former president late Bingu wa Mutharika to revitalize, preserve and promote culture and customs among different tribal groups in the country and it holds annual celebrations at their headquarters.

What is this so called Malikho ya ba Hlomwe?Am a Tumbuka i dont know all what it mens Malikho ya ba Hlomwe.
This should not be practiced by women only. Why is the gentleman in a suit? It was going to carry much weight if he also was dressed in traditional attire. Otherwise this is gender biasness.
Lets have a NATIONAL HERITAGE DAY so that everyone can celebrate and bring togetherness among people.
Mlakho z good to all lomwes and other tribes in mw. But the way the organisers make their funding is not good as expected some how some where cashgate must included. Ofcourse im a lomwe from phalombe ndipo zomwe ndikunenaz ndizoona.

This is pornography and the laws in Malawi are very clear. Whoever is responsible for these events should answer to the law. Period!

Zopanda ntchito izi, these are some if the things that are dividing our country further, useless.
How many Lomwes are in Malawi 8million. How many Tumbukas are in Malawi 2million. Atumbuka mukutichitira nsanje chifukwa choti ndife ambiri komanso tikuberekana mwakathithi. Simukuona kuchuluka kwathu koma mukuona kuchuluka kwa mavoti athu. Olo mutaberekana motani simungachuluke to match us before 2019. Alhomwe Alhomwee ndi Ayawooo! NOOOPHIYA
Tikukamba zathu zachilomwe apa. Atumbuka zisakukhuzeni. If you dont like us dont read our stories and dont look at breasts of our Lomwe beauties. Kutengeka bwanji?
Kodi mitundu ina sitikumana mkudyela limodzi monga? Pompano angonife tapanga zathu kuntcheu, achewa nawo apanga zawo kodi munatukwana chonchi? Abale Chonde ulemu ndiofunika. Inu asena pangani wanu mlakho. Atumbuka pangani wanu mwambo simukuletsedwa. zotukwana ayi Chonde. Tikufuna Malawi waulemu. Mchaka Kamuzu ankakumangani chonchi. A Malawi you deserve that kind of leadership style.
Kodi inu atumbuka mukuti chaninso, zanu za Gonapamuhacha mwaona ife titalemba kathu. Bwanji mlembi wa nkhaniyi ndi okomenta nonse muli atumbuka.
Koma mdala uyu wavala suit yakuda ndiwokonda chisembwere kwabasi.Ifetu achewa kwathu ndikuvina Gule osati kuvinitsa atsikana mabere pamtunda.
Look at the oldman in the black suit.He is even salivating for the bare breasted girl.This is what the Lomwes love to do in Tea Plantations instead of encouraging young girls to go to school.What is Patricia Kaliati doing for these poor girls to satisfy libidous behaviour for oldmen like in blacksuit?.This trousersnake oldman in blacksuit is a danger to this bare breasted girl dancing next to him.Hon Patricia Kaliati do something before she is chewed raw.This archaic culture is not relevant in these modern times and there is no way you can relive an extinct language like Lomwe language.Lomwe Language and culture is dead forever.Stop undressing these poor young girls to have sex pest to have fun on them.
I fear for what happened! Do you? Unless you know, of course!
A very young and innocent but edible and topless teen with piercing tits in the proximity of a full grown salaciously and vulturous (then) cabinet minister? This is dangerous. Do you know why? Listen and listen well.
The man though in a suit and gowns of honour, is dancing commonly. You have noted, right? You think he’s stupid? Make no mistake! With that common dance the man is making himself (and those closer, unfortunately) visible not only to his master but also his equals and other plebeians.This is an investment and will pay him off handsomely. ‘How,’ you ask? Here, the plebeians are more important to him than the master. You ask ‘why’? He is already a full minister and cant be more minister! You!, A a! Anyway, I forgive you. But . . .
Have you paused in wonder why he’s smiling? He knows that the identity would be “the one I was dancing closer to.” And the custodians/plebeians would easily identify and arrange tables at the diet of worms.
Thinking out loud, a very melodious song by Ed Sheeran.
I wish if daughters of rich people could also parade bare breasted. May be celebrating culture is a preserve for the poor. Society is very interestingly lopsided!
no comment! koma ndingoti eeesh!
Why are tumbukans hated so much? Fear of the unkown!
Anzathu alomwe tiwayamikire na pa nkhani za kuchipinda ayi palibenso. Ena amati nsena bodza lenileni game ndi mwana mulomwe basi. Asena koma phokoso longofuna kukupha mutu basi. Ndayesa mitundu yonse ena mkumati mlambya kuti manja ndinaimika pa mlomwe basi. Azimai pitilizani kutisulira asungwana athu kuti adzitisangalatsa mdzipindamu. Ndiye mwati ulendo uno zili kuti? Ndili komko basi.
Alomwe this is abuse of girls rights. Anyamata ndi abambo ali mu suit tulutsani zanu zobisa mthalauza nafenso atsikana ndi azimayi tizione. Some of these cultural practices need to end. How can the girls with bare breats go into a classroom and learn with respect. President Mutharika please end these filthy practices that encourage the abuse and low status of women.
Nachisale: don’t get a heart attack over this. This is history!
One constant in the aLhomwe culture, especially ovinidwa (those who have undergone the rituals of passing of age), is respect your wives and female relatives. It’s true: this is evident in every homestead that truly respects Lhomwe values.
The Mulhakho people put a stop to this just before the last festival. Like I said, that was due to pressure, albeit soft pressure, by mostly aLhomwe who wanted their cultural group to reflect contemporary cultural trends.
And thanks to heavyweights, like Akweni Kaliati. They put a stop to that, in a wink.
Za zii
After the feast several STDs, preginamcies, school dropouts, etc
Ndalama kumathera zaziii ngati izi mmalo molimbikisa maphunziro shame…

Malawians they don’t think propery like eldery people why mulhako wa alhomwe why only alhomwe can’t you feel ashame of that have a look here why can’t just say heritage day where people will cebrate there cuture in one day in defferent areas and defferent tribese why only alhomwe what about ayawo atumbuka angoni achewa asena are they not malawians to cebrate there cuture or we must wait for the sena or tumbuka presdent so we will say again mulhako wa atumbuka
Iwe Colemn: Where have been, man? In a cave or somewhere equally inaccessible?
Most cultural groups in Malawi have their own celebrations; for obvious reasons.
The aTumbuka just had one such, a day or two ago!
Mtundu uwu ndiwamway…mapresident kuchita kusinthana…..achewa angon atumbuka muli m’maz mukuyandama
Koma bele la munthu wamkazi ndi chinthu chowopsya eti? Mpaka Symon kulolera kupusa chonchi just to get close to bele la bare? A whole honourable? Koooomaa!

Ndiife olimba, baasi. Ndi kukhwimanso. Sitimatopa.
Moreover, we just socializing, and are a people who like supporting others; without prejudice.
Thats is girls abuse ! After that these young girls will be fucked by this affected politicians shame! And sangakane ayi. Alibe voice. Peter is civilised must know better.
bwanji osangopanga mulhakho wa YESU?
Mtumbuka selfish dogs how do you see tsankho la amzanu?
Culture can not be compromised by education and all activities should be respected. Each tribe has its own culture to be respected. Wena mafumu awo akamwalira amawaika chokhala, wena choimilira. Ndiwo ukhalira mwambo wawo, tisanyozane. Wena amawaika mu gule wamkulu ndi virombo vina vitapaka manyi kukamwa konseku ntchentche zitangokanirira kukamwa kwa chirombo!Ndiwo mwambo wawo umenewo, alemekezeni.

Shameless elderly man in a suit
Vuto lanu ndichani? Nthawi ya lomwe ino. Tidye basi. Bele mwaliwonanso mwaulelere.
Atumbuka munya muona
And in the picture above we have a shameless older man believed to be a dpp politician dancing next to a bare breasted girl. I hope he can also dance next to his bare breasted daughter.
This was a shameful practice, to be sure. The girls do NOT dance breast naked, like that anymore. Note the caption below the photo: “Flashback …”
After vigorous, but civil protests, the organizers put a stop to this sexually exploitative tradition. Thanks to Akweni Kaliati et al.
Furthermore, Malawians can rest assured that the funds used here are NOT from the public purse. This grouping is one of the most corruption free in this country. It knows too well that detractors are ever focused on it, for no apparent good reason.
And finally, we look forward to these dates. And there is no going back to the bad old days; aLhomwe noophiya. Asa.
Mulhako wa Alhomwe was established as an employment bereau for lhomwes and a tool to victimize other tribes by denying them (other tribes) economic opportunities. Gwanda Chakuamba was right to say that alhomwe deserved beating byva hammer. Mtundu wonunkha uwu ngati ukuku. Mtundu watsankho uwuuu.
The gud thing is that AIDS is rampant and hit hard in their lhomwe belt. Munya muwona. Agang’a a anthu mukanthidwa pansi pompano. Sitidzagwada kwa milungu yakufa. Anthu a cash gate gulu la Senzani, Pitara, Bingu. Ma hule gulu la Mwanave….Mulli nkhanza
