Shot Waheeda Bagus dies in hospital, succumbs to gun injuries
Lilongwe socialite Waheeda Bagus, who was shot by her lover businessman William Mac Phiri in December 2019, has succumbed to her injuries while at the Kamuzu Central Hospital on Wednesday.

The 36-year-old Phiri of Mak Construction shot his ‘baby mama’ Waheeda Bagus, niece to Trade, Industry and Tourism minister Salim Bagus on suspicion that she was cheating him.
Hospital sources said her conditions deteriorated and asked the family to raise about K40 million to go specialized treatment in India.
Waheeda was a second wife to William Phiri, who is known in Lilongwe for having multiple co-current sexual partners
Phiri was charged by police on one count of attempted murder following the most horrendous crime of shooting his extra-marital lover Waheeda Bagus.
Lingadzi police spokesperson Salomy Chibwana said Phiri was first pressed with a charge of causing grievous bodily harm but was changed to attempted murder.
Waheeda is survived by two children; one with Phiri and the other’s dad is Khumbo Nkhwazi.
William Mark Phiri, Civil Engineer who successfully went into construction as a contractor and became rich. Money comes with spoils, among them bedding women.
Waheeda was well replenished with luxuries for opening her legs to William. Nice house and luxury car, among them. William gave his women things no ordinary man can. So, he got pissed to hear his money was not protecting Waheeda, another commoner was shagging the fruit!
Sorry, Bob, you’d better find a way to beat the system, otherwise you’ll rot in jail for murder. That’s life!
Rest well Waheeda, I still can’t believe the news. We went high school together back in 2008 to 2009 and even though we weren’t close this still breaks my heart. Anyone who’s calling her names and talking about how it caught up to her. You yourself are not better than anybody and most certainly not better than Waheeda. This type of murder cannot be justified and should not be looked at in such a manner. She did not deserve to die such a death.
so sad
So sad for such a strong woman may she rest in peace…i wish she was here in RSA….they know how to attend to such cases….very sad
Eeeeee kaya………………. each to their own, and i quote “Pakuti atsagana nazo nchito zawo”
Sad story (on both fronts).
A life is lost and the perpetrator will surely go to jail.
I do not think shooting someone because they are cheating on you is a solution to the problem. Why not just divorce (separate from) them if you have concrete evidence that can withstand scrutiny in court? Biggest issue with most (of us) men think we own our wives / girlfriends, which is not the case.
Here is South Africa, there are cases like this on a daily basis, and it is sad we seem to be copying the same behaviour at home. Didn’t we have the death penalty at one time? I strongly feel one who takes a life (deliberately) must have theirs taken too.
I do not really agree with the some of comments calling the departed woman names. It is demeaning. We all make choices and what one chooses to do with their life should not be anyone’s concern.
RIP Waheeda, you have finished your race so young…..over to you and your God.
NOW FOR THOSE OF YOU CALLING HER ALL SORTS OF NAMES SHUT UP YOUR MOUTHS, JUST BECAUSE YOUR OWN SCANDALS ARE UNDERCOVER DOES NOT MEAN YOU ARE CLEAN!!! WE HAVE ALL MESSED UP IN ONE WAY OR THE OTHER BUT BECAUSE GOD’S MERCIES ARE NEW EVERY MORNING THATS WHY WE ARE HERE. WE SIMPLY NEED TO LEARN FROM THIS AND CLEAN OUR ACT FOR GOOD!
Well spoken/written. MHSRIP kuweruza kukhale kwa Yehova
Yes the Lords mercy is there, but i hate asikana oti azingovulavula amuna.
well Karma knows no forgiveness, it finally caught up with her!
Mr Mark Construction akwidzingidwe tipume tsopano whew!
Wa ku ndendeeeeeeee!!!!
My condolences to the families … MHSRIP
RIP
The Lord gives and the Lord takes away. Blessed be the name of the Lord. May her soul rest in eternal peace.
Mr Honorable Minister, she was only good in bed haaa, you couldn’t send her for better care outside Malawi
If you don’t know their relationship please sod off. The minister is her father’s brother. Learn to have respect for the dead
You don’t think such a comment is ill timed?
Be responsible my friend. Loss of life is not as simple as you might think. Imfa ndi yowawa kwambiri even ikhale ya munthu woti anali wamisala amakhalira kudya za mu bin but once passes on it becomes painful my friend so better think twice before you make any comment otherwise you just loose your integrity for nothing. Ungamve bwanji wina atayika such comment for your relative? Uli ndi umunthu iwe koma kapena ndiwe chinyama?
Ndiwe Galu kwabasi learn to respect the dead.
Which english do you know…Mr Minister!! how good on bed she was his niece for Gods sake
That’s what happens when we prioritise stadiums than upgraded hospitals —
Thats a stupid comment. Don’t you know that even those reputable hospitals many are dying there? Do you want to be against what God had already said in Genesis that we shall all die? Govt takes care of every sector so sports is one of it ngati iwe sukonda mpira kagwere!
I hope he rots in jail for rest of his life, this was premeditated murder.
Mahule a pa town. Koma why date this guy when he’s notorious for his bad temper ?
Money ladies these days want money nothing else.
Cmon Mr minister you mean simukanatha kumupititsa Ku South Africa for treatment?RIP Waheeda
Why go to RSA when they should be sorting out public hospitals? If the minister supports pathetic fraudulent deals in parliament then that’s what you get. What goes around comes around.
Anduna wo, anatopa naye uyu, uhule too much, even Nkhwazi yo, anamusiyanso due to cheating, anali hule woopsa uyu!!!
good riddance kumangovula amuna bax kumawasiya for others mxii!
