Powerful Lhomwe chief irks Chewa leaders
Powerful Lhomwe chief, Ngongoliwa has stepped on the toes of Chewa traditional leaders following his decision to visit them without going through the Chewa Heritage Foundation.

Some chiefs in central region are said to be extremely bitter that the Lomwe paramount chief has decided to make the visit to meet the chiefs without a clear agenda.
“He has a hidden agenda. Some of us might not even go to meet him,” said one of the traditional leaders in Lilongwe.
The Lhomwe chief is expected to meet the Chewa traditional leaders from May 21, 2016.
In an interview, chief Ngongoliwa said he is meeting the Chewa traditional leaders and other chiefs in his capacity as chairman of New Chiefs Forum, a grouping of all traditional leaders in the country.
He dismissed fears that he has hidden agenda, saying his meetings with the other chiefs have nothing to do with the Chewa Heritage Foundation.
“This is just an exchange visit. We will be promoting such exchange visits in future,” he said, adding, “we just want to be together, we just want to eat together.”
He described the visit as cultural exchange visit.
“There should be no cause for alarm because of my visit,” he said.
The chief is a confessed die hard follower of the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) and comes from the home of President Peter Mutharika.

iwe ngolongoliwa uli powerful to Lomwe Belt NOT Chewas. Ngati wakhuta njoka ndi amene wakutumayo tiona siukwanitsa zolinga kusokoneza o Chewa. Bwanji osamangodya njoka zanuzo ndiye mukakhuta muzivina Tchopa. The Chewas are not ready to welcome you and never attempt to come here. We are ready to give you a bad lesson should you dare to come. Who are you that you want to bring mpichipichi to the other tribes in Malawi? Kodi KU India unakatenga mankhwala odzadyetsa o Chewa kuti mupilize kulamulira? Ngolongoliwa ife zopusazo tukana wamva.
#3 Mzakwacha Nixon, who told you that we DPP diehards are not in hundreds of thousands here in the Center? Mudzaone mmene tidzakutibulireni 2019. Ife kwa a Lukwa omweo tidzapita pa 21st May mwaunyinji.
The tricks used by DPP will never stop to amaze me. They use the LHOMWE tribal group in promoting and creating a DPP- Lhomwe hegemony. What I know is that time is the best judge. History takes long to pronounce its judgement.
I like this name, Ngongoliwa. Yah! Ngongoliwa.
No Chewa Chief can attend that meeting may Mfumu yakwathu Lukwa wadyera ndi ndalama.
A mfumu Ngongoliwa zitengeni bwino zinthuzi. Choyambilira mchakuti kugulu mukunenalo amakusankhani kukhala wapampando ndi ndani?
Nanga zolinga zagulu limeneli ndi ziti? Ndipo pa zolinga zimenezi, zilipo zina zimene zili zokakamiza? Nanga ndi khani zanji zopanda agenda zimene mukufunitsitsa mafumu anzanuwo adziwe mokakamizazo?
Padzana munali ndi mwambo wa mlakho wa a lomwe, bwanji simunawatenge kukachita cultural visit nthawi imeneyija? Ikanakhala nthswi yabwino. Koma pepani nthawi ino mwawadabwitsa anzanuwa.
Ndipo ngati gululi ndilovomerezeka ndi onse snakusankhaniwo, payenera kuti pali dongosolo la kagwiridwe ka ntchito zake.

Koma ngati ndi ndale, mmmmm mwazitengera pamgong’o.
Ulemu umene mumafuna mutalandira inuwo muyambe inu kuwapatsa anzanu.
tHE NEWEST sENIOR CHIEF BECOMING THE CHAIRPERSON OF CHIEFS’ FORUM SIMPLY BECAUSE HE IS A LOMWE????
My daughters who by birth are 50% Lhomwe would like a copy of the LHOMWE History book when it is published in October. I would be very grateful if you could let me know where and how much it costs to buy two copies.
Thank you very much.
Dont compare this Ngolongoliwa to Gawa undi, ndi mwana kwambiri ameneyu. Akakhuta kalongonda wakeyo azidziwa kuti there are procedures to be followed and mafumu a achewa sangapusitsidwe ndi mbalame imeneyi whatever his agenda may be.
Koma iwe Owen Khamula eh: Anthu akuchapa iwe (People are mad at you, mad “heavy”)
Sign of disrespect when you consistently misspell someone’s name, and you should be embarrassed. (And no need for an apology?) The name is Ngolongoliwa or Ngolongolhiwa; NOT Ngongoliwa! Laziness is no excuse, especially when Google and other search engines are available, almost always.
And accuracy: When did Ngolongoliwa vacate the Senior Chief position to Paramount Chief? Are you promoting him, now?
How about the tone: Apparently your tone in the story is to disparage the chief, and enhance disrepute of his people; and the President. I mean, man, there is absolutely NO need for the last line in your article.
I am NOT a card carrying member of DPP, and I am not a supporter of Ngolingolhiwa, APM’s pet project. Usurping the aLhomwe prestige, when APM literally stole the big title of Paramount Chief of the aLhomwe from Mkhumba, and place it on the lap of Ngolilngolhiwa
with cash to boot! Hehehehehehehehehe……
The salvage chief thinks he is superior to other chiefs because he comes from Malawi’s president home. Who is sponsoring his trip? Malawi is tired of mediocre leadership, so he shouldn’t be campaigning for leadership continuation
I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN SAYING THIS THAT “LOMWES NEVER RESPECT OTHERS CULTURAL DOMINANCE”. HOW CAN HE NOT FOLLOW THE PROCEDURES? THIS IS PURE DESPOTIC CHARACTER.
Wanguyesera Uonapolekera. Akutumawoakupweteketsa!
By the way where is the power? Za utsiru basi.
Zamunyasa asamuke Alomwe woyeeeee nophiya…. Go konko… akufuna anganga mudule passport yopotira ku nyika republic kkkk
Why should he go through Chewa Heritage foundation, when was it formed, is it in charge of the Chewa chiefs?
So the Author said POWERFUL Chief? Is he?
Chief Ngongoliwa is like a President of all Lhomwe chiefs. So too is Gwaw Undi. There is no way a President of of a big grouping can visit the subordinates of another president without his knowledge. So Chief Ngongoliwa could have set a good example by following protocols not just using short cuts. Next time please make sure you follow all the necessary procedures.
Musiyeni, zimuthamangitse ndi nyau
Kodi Ngolongoliwayu wafika pa u Paramount Chief? I thought Paramount Chief wa a Lhomwe ndi Chief Mkhumba??? Koma ngati zili chonchi – mmmm! This dude was a mere Sub-TA a year ago – lero mukuti Paramount Chief wa a Lhomwe? Ndale za ufumu sizabwino – uwona m’mene udzaphuvumukire pamenepo iwe Ngolongoliwa!
Achewa tribalism mwafika nayo pamenepa? Strange
What’s the issue here? I don’t understand
The story doesn’t match its tittle, Ine ndimaona ngati ndi nkhani yeni yeni, I think the main reason for this story is to remind people that Ngolongoliwa belongs to DPP, comes from Thyolo and is a Lhomwe , baasi, nothing else. Amatouristic writing.
Just because dpp is currently the govnt. it does not mean the Lomwe chiefs have the power to push other chiefs around! Look at him! He looks stupid with that ugly woman behind him anyway! Ignorant shits!
musabwere abwana, pepani kuno nthawi imeneyi tikhala tili kusaka gule so please make another day. You will be welcome by that time not now. Give back the money to the one who is sending you and he/she must donate that money to our failing health services.
Akupita kwa Lukwa?????????
Koma Ngawa Undi akumudziwa bwino???????
Ngongoliwa is a god of chiefs in malawi becoz he is close to peter&dpp.Nanu Mafumu a chichewa,muthamangiseni ameneyo.Azilamula alomwe anzake.Ukuganiza kuti central yingakhale ya dpp?Yayiponda.thats a McP region.Chakwela akazawina 2019,uzakhala chosetela chamafumu,iwe ngongoliwa,wamva?Dyeratu.Mafumu azikunjenjemela iwe,forsake!Dont go to the republic of north.Uzasiye kaye qoata system,wamva?Call me to hear more.I dont hide my name.Tatopa nanu alomwe ife a kumpoto ndi azathu a pa central.Mzakwacha Nixon:+27724922299.Pretoria.
Ndani anakusankha kukhla chair wa New Chiefs Forum simlomwe mnzakoyo ndiye ndizandale ife achewa ayi ka DPP kachipani kolepherako dziko njala yokhayokha anthu akuba chisankho otembereleda chauta akukulangani. Leave the chewa alone after stealing the election, still we are not as desperate as the lomwes who do not ebven have kalongonda now, not even nthochi zija mumadalira nthawi ya Kamuzu zija chaka chino munyanso
“The chief is a confessed die hard follower of ……………………..”What did you expect our Chief Ngolongoliwa to be being a Lhomwe?
