‘What unity Vuwa?’ CCAP blasts Mutharika’s ‘transaction’ leadership

Outspoken CCAP Synod of Livingstonia moderator Reverend Levi Nyondo has hit at President Peter Mutharika of promoting “divisions” in the country and added credence to claims by religious group Public Affairs Committee (PAC) that Mutharika’s leadership is “transaction” and not transformation.

Vuwa Kaunda: I will pass the message to President Mutharika

Rev Nyondo, speaking on Tuesday during the funeral ceremony of chief Malanda of Nkhata Bay at Nkundi headquarters , accused the Mutharika regime of promoting disunity in the country by marginalising the northern region, saying the appointment of Symon Vuwa Kaunda as  presidential adviser on national unity and parliamentary affairs is misplaced.

“We as Synod of Livingstonia are surprised with the country’s leadership as far as unity is concerned. We ask ourselves which unity Vuwa Kaunda is working on with President Mutharika,” said   Nyondo, a fierce critic of government.

Synod of Livingstonia, the vocal voice on social and political matters, and said traits of disunity by the government is seen in education quota system of selecting students to public university as opposed to merit, saying the system is marginalising people from the north.

He also noted that development is not equally shared in the country and appointments in public offices are favouring largely one tribe, attracting applause from the mourners.

Vuwa Kaunda, a former MP for Nkhata Bay Central Constituency, who previously served as minister for various portfolios in the government of the late Bingu wa Mutharika and was also co-accused with Peter Mutharika in the now discontinued treason case, said the criticism by Nyondo was made at a wrong place.

“The funeral was not the right forum to address those issues. However, I will take the message to President Mutharika,” said Vuwa Kaunda.

In his address, Rev Nyondo said what he said should be communicated to the President.

What Nyondo does has a multiple effect on young tumbukas. as a secondary school teacher teaching in the Central Region, I posted here several years ago that one tumbuka girl lamented when her friends asked her the question, are you a tumbuka? The girl felt bad and sad because to her that question meant a lot. I am a Lhomwe but I also felt very bad. To my surprise, those asking the question did not mean any ill intention. They wanted to take the issue further by asking the tumbuka girl her tradition, the types of food and dances that… Read more »

Rev Nyondo if you are tired please retire. Don’t divide the people of Malawi Learn to appreciate what the Government is doing. At a funeral we only preach unity not what ypu are doing . I am a member of Livingstonia Synod but disagree with what you are telling the people

Malawi’s greatest strength, if it were properly understood and utilized in accordance with God’s Word, is WHAT GOD CALLS THE “SALT OF THE EARTH” and the “LIGHT OF THE WORLD”, in simple terms, “Christians, Believers in Christ Jesus,” who are quite in abundance in Malawi. Now the saltiness of the salt is only appreciated when it is actively applied to the relish, and the goodness of light is best appreciated when it drives away darkness! But the Lord Jesus Christ asked, “If the salt loses its saltiness, wherewith shall it seasoned again? For it is no longer good for anything… Read more »

Unity in Malawi is just lip service. The Mutharika family have divided Malawi. It’s not only northerners who are agreed. Even the Central, Eastern and some ethnic groups in the southern region feel marginalized. Only the Lomwe people are, the dullest of this country, are proud of this government.

Anyondo ingoyambani ndale basi osamabisalila ku mpingo. Let me ask you, is Livingstonia Mission a church institution or a political organisation? What do you preach on on Sundays to your congregants? Do you know the mandate Jesus gave to His followers and to do with earthly things? Do you know that you are instilling the spirit of separatist is in the youthful generation from your region? Were you called to serve God or…..? Do you dream about the gospel or politics? Are you proud of planting churches in the working territory of your sister synod Nkhoma? Do you boast about… Read more »

Nyondo your time is gone and God has nothing to offer to your northern synod. What you blame DPP leadership for is exactly what you are. Both you and government are equally same only that you come from north. Don’t mislead us at such a funeral. Vuwa is dead and rotten nothing good can offer to the peter. Been fellow northerners why can’t you sit down and resolve your differences before taking the matter to peter? Peter is another fool, do you think can take an advice from vuwa? As a northerner from mudyaka, I regret having such dull people… Read more »

REV NYONDO HAS A POINT. I REQUEST PUBLIC AFFAIRS COMMITTEE, LIVINGSTONIA SYNOD, NKHOMA SYNOD, CHRR, CEDEP, MALAWI WATCH, ETC. TO SCRUTINIZE ALL APPOINTMENTS MADE BY MUTHARIKA OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS ON DIPLOMATS, CEOs OF PARASTATALS, SENIOR CIVIL SERVANTS FROM P4 AND ABOVE, AND ALL STATE INSTITUTIONS. YOU WILL BE SHOCKED TO SEE HOW NEPOTISTIC THIS GOVERNMENT IS. WE HAVE THE DATA IN THE MINISTRIES AND RADY TO COOPERATE. TINGOGAWANAPO ZIDA APA. MA UDINDO A BOMA AKUNGOPATSANA MWAKACHETECHETE. AND YET MUTHARIKA HAS THE AUDACITY TO SEND NGOLONGOLIWA TO CENTRAL REGION SEEKING FOR UNITY, KUTI IWOWO ZAO ZIZIYENDA. THIS IS BULL… Read more »
