Please tell us more about the deceased. He indeed went silent over the years. Ku Zambia amapangako chani? Was he into music still? Nanga za Major 1 zikuti bwanji? Does he have a music studio, this major 1? Nanga what led to George’s demise? Was he unwell or sudden death?
My condolences to the family only God knows
Mwati anasaina ndi chani? Mmmmmmmmmmm too bad ma friend.
Am sure rev Chimwemwe Mhango was speaking in his capacity as uncle to the deceased.
I remember to have read in the paper that our disgraced rev Chimwemwe Mhango resigned from the board of musicians association of Malawi. Is he back?
Akuti FORMER.
