UTM guru Chabunya underfire for attacking northerners
August 27, 2022

UTM national executive committee member and close aid to Vice President Saulos Chilima, Hellen Chabunya, has come under intense fire for insults and tantrums against people from the northern region she posted on Friday on her face book wall.
In the post, she blamed people from the northern region of nepotism simply because they have been picked to play for the Malawi National Netball Team, popularly known as the Queens.
Hellen Chabunya
Chabunya attached her sentiments to a screenshot of the Queens line up at the ongoing World Cup Qualifiers in South Africa.
Chabunya first attacked Peace Chawinga before taking a dig at Laureen Ngwira, Towera Vinkhumbo, Grace Mwafulirwa, Takondwa Lwazi among others.
“Their coach is Chawinga, look at the surnames. We can’t be pointing fingers only when it is the Chewas or Lomwes. This is Tribalism,” wrote Chabunya who is also a close aide to party president Saulos Klaus Chilima.
Coincidentally, Chabunya’s anger with Northerners comes at the back of UTM’s poor showing at the recent local government elections held in Chitipa, Karonga and Balaka.
UTM candidates performed miserably in all the three wards where MCP won the Northern Region seats while United Democratic Front scooped the seat in Balaka.
Chabunya is a failed politician who once wanted to contest as councillor for Lilongwe Chigoneka Ward with one eye on becoming mayor of Lilongwe City.
Upon being rejected by Malawi Congress Party during nominations, she jumped ship to UTM but still failed to realize her dream.
To make matters worse she also failed to make the cut for any public position when Tonse Alliance won the 2020 Fresh Presidential election.
Her post, which was later taken down, has offended people from the Northern Region who have labelled her remarks as divisive and careless.

Behind those popped froggy eyes is deeply rooted hatred transferred from your dead ancestors who only saw a northerner and nothing else. You great grandfather sang the same northerner hate song, so too was your grandfather, then your father, and now it is you this time Jezebel. Your smile at northerners who are in your church is just plastic surgery. You are a wicked person. You are frustrated because your proxy party performed dismally in the recent elections and you were busy looking for something to stubb a northerner. I am proud to be born a northern er, otherwise I don’t know what I would have been since it was God’s choice. Repent before you make the next step to your church.
The woman sounds like she has mental disorder,
Griffin Sayenda deceased, may his soul rest in peace, was a chewa by tribe but he spotted talent in young ladies from the North the likes of Kumwenda, Mvula , Ngwira and etc but u didn’t talk this nonsense why now?
OK May be u just hate your fellow woman as a coach.
Forgive this lady still imatured,hungry for leadership undeserved.
Mwaziona liti izizi ? This has been a joke but a foolish politician takes it very seriously. I thought it was merit ? Ndiye mupitanso ku football. People are chosen based on performance unless you have evidence. So UTM you want North when it comes to votes eti…this clearly shows that if UTM won, a anthu aku North tikanavutika the way things were in DPP era. Kodi ifeyo tinalakwanji ? At one point we requested to be dinked from Malawi or form a federal boma..you were the first to oppose. Inu Northereners in UTM open your eyes…these are not for you…you will be used as makasu or xondom and thrown away after their pleasure.
Don’t worry yourselves with such shallow minded people. Focus your energies elsewhere and feed your families…
There are journalists and reporters…two different people. This is an article by a reporter not a journalist. As it seems he seeks attention.
You are very myopic in thinking. And you say your base will be Northern Region. Go to hell with your party. A party that is on Facebook and not even on the ground.
I am a Northerner why do hate us like the Jews yet we have made Malawi with a number of developments. Let me tell you the truth without the Northerners you can’t rule this country and this is a fact. Your level of consciousness is completely at Zero. We are also Malawians. They is no best coach like Peace Chawinga, she has put on a map Malawi and you attack her. Why do women don’t love each other. Stop that nosense we can’t watch you mock the Northerners this time around. We fight for you and you rise against us it very shameful you pay us back with such foolish ideas that’s how you pay Northerners back. One day out God will bless us to lead the whole nation whether you like it or not.
Actually my support of UTM ends here and today. Will even burn the regalia i once proudly owned. Silly woman with a small brain. And SCK is surprisingly silent on this. Wont he rebuke her?
Proudly Northerner
True. This lady must not have been even close to any leadership
DAMN it wrong if she is like that if we malawians dont love each other who will then? so she things the northenor doesnt hold malawi passport
Talk to the leaders before you speak otherwise you will be able to face trouble.
This is her true character. These hectic words she said will backfire on her very soon. Mark my words. The earth is round. It’s turning out at a very high rate,
Hating northerners, you will regret very soon we have known you. Your days are numbered. Think before you say.
I believe when we shoose we shoose as a leader who is best not because of where she or he caming from, your thoughts of thinking was not well on that you could sms coach before posting on public form.
All I can say is that this woman is brainless. She has never followed netball. When Ways was coach, she used most of these players. Is Waya. Northerner? Was the coach who passed on a Northerner? She is a frustrated nincompoop.
That’s why munathamangitsa kinna
Helen Chabunya has all the traits of a Hutu or Adolf Hitler. Very careless and divisive indeed.
At first I thought this lady has senses to reason but alas!!!!!!??
She’s truly at it as you all can clearly see.
Truth Really Pains
She is right. That’s what Kina Phiri did during his time as flames manager
Chabunya must wake up to reality. Performance must take precedence irrespective of where one comes from. Shame on Chabunya. Your boss should censure to the uttermost. You are disgrace to our country.
She is not only divisive and reckless but she is a clueless and naive small woman who is out there to repeat same mistakes soon or later. Her education is questionable and the beauty not all the way there. Her intelligence is lacking and her wisdom is scant. The only type of success she can ever achieve is trouble-making, gossiping, lying, polarizing and insulting. He or she who listens to her and take her seriously is equally repugnant and dumb as her. Lord have mercy!
True
Guys, let us be honest, is it true or false? Is there any kind of tribalism or what? You know the truth yourself.
Who cares who plays in the Queen’s or Flames as long as they are Malawians? Since time immemorial our best sportsmen have come from the north. All famous netball stars past and present have come from the north. Currently we have female football stars, female boxers, and the country’s only recognised female running athlete, all from the north. We should be proud of northerners. I personally come from the most southern district but I recognise these guys from the north.
A chabunya kumene muliko mulije mahara mulibe nzeru munthu wolephera
The name Chabunya shows how hatred the woman is. Rubbish
Really this Nation is a nation of cowards. We don’t want to face the truth. Chabunya is right indeed our brothers from the north are the tribalistic to the core. I remember one time Chitedze research when Dr Nkamanga was heard it was all wakwithu. I also remember at Robert Blake in my Dom. of the 60 60 Dom mates only I, Billy Mwachilira, Solomon Kathewera and Vincent Nkhoma came from the other regions. Apparently although nobody want to say the truth as to why Dr Banda chased their teachers to go teach in their region and brought quota system in education it was to disable them from practicing regionalism. The biggest victims of their machinations was the Rhomwes who were reduced to being policemen generally and nothing else. This is why Kaliat as minister of education wanted to do something about it. In Malawi we all think like stupid politicians who talk only on politically correct issues avoiding our real problems.
This is very biased reporting and directly shows the side of nyasa times. You’re fighting two enemies. 1. The individual 2. The party.
You’re a disgrace to the media fratenity.
Does the netball gene exist in the north only? If you are against what Hellen has pointed out then you are simply choosing to be politically correct. Anthu timadana ndi chilungamo bwanji!
