Ochita pretend to be amvano ndiye ndi ambili among Malawians. Ochita pretend to be christiatians ndi ambilinso. Timangokumvelani.Zoona mwana wa mzanu wamwalila pamodzi ndi Esmmie osamusamala olo! Money talks! If you have money, everybody wants to leak your ass.!Tikuziona izi koma dziwani kuti kuno ndi kunja.Amene muwanyozawo tsiku lina adzakhala anthu mark my words! RIP Hazel.

Very sad but God’s time is the best. There is no untimely death. Death is like a blackout. Let us always be ready for we are next on line

Zokondelazo anayambisa amayi. Condolence message inali kwa muluzi fellow politician . The other malilo amtaa kuitchula nde next time mukamva ali pa political platform ndimakukondani a malawi. Zopusa. Politicians work for themselves and pleasing fellow politicians and not for malawians. This is behaviour of politicians including politicians pretending to be amvano

A semani, there is nothing like ‘kalipo kalipo’. Are you suggesting that the lightning that struck the two ladies was man-made? I suppose you do not understand the scientific explanation of how lightining is formed and which people are at risk when clouds form! Get facts from those who know instead of trying to blame innocent people. People who think like you are enemies of progress. They think they have answers to all the happenings of the world, even to things they do not understand. My condolences to the bereaved families.

To the former President of the Republic of Malawi and first Democratic President of Malawi and his entire family kindly accept our deep sympathy. Allah gives and takes. We plan but he decides and to him be the glory. May your daughter’s soul RIP.

Dr. Muluzi you did so much for all Malawians and no sane Malawian will forget you and your ever welcoming and joyous face. May you be consoled in the name of Allah. James and Diana Mpata and family.

Pepani ndithu aChair bambo wanga. Mulungu anatipasa Chemwaliwa koma iyenso wamukondesesa kwambili kumuyitana akakhale naye. Tivomeleze ndithu kufuna kwa iye Namalenga. It’s deeply saddening ngati kholo ndilo limene litsanzikana ndi ana ake mwanjila imeneyi. May God our almighty grant you the serenity and peace to go through this difficult phase of life. Stay strong aChair wanga and know that you are always remembered and in our thoughts and prayers in this dark hour.

Pepani, just a question; was she a christian? Is that a coffin?

We shall meet when Jesus comes.
