People are talking about the First Lady’s attire as so bright for the occasion but should have been black. Not all others have put on black. Picking the madam is unfair as others are spared. Look at the background of both photos, you will see other colours.
By the way paying respects to the tombstone does not necessarily require one to put on black attire as would have been on the funeral procession.
Nde ufulu umeneo. President adzitelo zosangalatsa.
That’s Good our presidents are continues to show us good stiation
Zambia practices civilized politics of leaving tribalism aside.In malawi, you have empty tins promoting tribalism because they have nothing to offer or talk about.
This is good bwana for continued relationships with our neighbours.
tAONANI TIE WA APULEZIDENT
If I were Getrude mutharika, this is wat I cud were at the function. A black outfit and a black hat with matching shoes n bag, that goes fo president APM. Black suit was appropriate fo this occasdion. Check kaunda he is in black. Zowala is fo events that make us happy. I wud wear that suit Madame 1st lady to a wedding, those black shoes replace with za cream white, pink n matching bag. Dont wear bungle n watch same hand . Cause its too bright fo official engagements. That’s if I was the 1st lady.
Colour blocking stupid First lady you need to be lectured on wardrobe. It appears the one who does your wardrobe thought you were going for a valentine day party.
I hope APM thanked Kaunda, or at least mentioned and appreciated him giving refuge to late Bingu when he “escaped” from Malawi, self exile fashion. From the cruelties of Kamuzu’s dictatorship. Zambia was Bingu’s first stop on route to Zimbabwe. And the rest is history.
Can some body educate the first lady and whoever dresses her about what colors to wear to what occasion. This was a somber occasion, no one wears hot pink to pay homage to the fallen…… Only in Malawi!!!! Hot pink is when she is fundraising for BEAM! What an embarrassment.
