It’s serious Malawi cannot carry on progressing with bribes and corruption without the great Frank Mwenifumbo. Get well quick Frankie otherwise we are lost as a nation with no bribes and no corruption
Frank is corruption king of Malawi
Mwenifumbo is the proxy of SKC for making corrupt deals and accepting bribes.
DPP was worse than corvid. People were being killed. Poor people were dying in hospitals yet the regime had no mercy but stealing. We will live with corvid but not DPP.
Wait until you see the real thing, then talk later. Zowopsyatu izi.
It is indeed sad, and it comes as a surprise to many Malawians especially after being reassured by Mrs Joyce Banda that there is no Covid 19 virus in our Country. She should apologise to the bealived families, and to the Country as a whole for misleading them. My thoughts are with the families who have lost their loved ones due to this monster virus.
DPP govt deliberately imported Covid 19 into this country.
Fools!
Idiots. Were those coming not citizens. Why do you think Malawians in Malawi are more entitled than those abroad. All countries were allowing their citizens back so what’s so special about Malawi
The problem was that DPP leaders did not prepare a good quarantine facilities for those people who were repatriated.Do not blame Tonse alliance government.If a country has three cases of coronavirus and the government repatriates 200 more people from countries with more cases what will mean about that? South Africa repatriated it’s citizens from China sanakawasiye Ku stadium,adapita nawo Ku repatriation facility centres where they stayed there for more than 14 days.What DPP was stupid Malawians repatriated were taken to Kamuzu stadium without proper quarantine facilities.The people run away and mix with local communities.Thus why we should blame visionless DPP.
Foseki
They should have either stayed in Rsa or on arrival to be checked and properly quarantine. Apm imported Covid-19 to infect Malawians. Mbuyanu Uja wopanda Mamu is a devil

Fellow Malawians, the virus is with us now. You don’t need politicians to tell you this, if you have ears you have known all along that the virus is here. You saw people being released from quarantine etc…and yet you are still just walking around like idiots?? Put on your bloody masks, I still see lots of so called educated people still walking around without a mask on, going shopping, going to church and acting like everything is normal. ARE YOU PEOPLE STUPID OR WHAT?!!!!
PUT YOUR FUCKING MASKS ON.
So what benefit is there a Malawi anzanga to lose your life for the sake of a politician regardless of who you support, it can never be worth it. Lero ndi izi. Only her family truly care, but the reality is the political party will soon replace and forget her. Malawians as we go about, let’s stay safe. Some of these things are just not worth dying for.
Let’s just try to put on all restricted measures to ensure that we are safe. In South Africa for example there’s is still lockdown from the February till today but from the time South Africans went on lockdown, the number of cases and death toll was just like where Malawi is today. They tried everything possible to protect its citizens, there was no any political disagreements even in the private sector and individuals, churches mosques schools not yet allowed operating normally yet the covid19 pandemic is rising up every minute/hours. We can say it again this or that but looking… Read more »
