A man in Chitipa district was on Thursday forced to carry the dead body of his niece on his back, a situation a prominent religious leader says embodies the sad state of affairs in Malawi.
According to reports reaching Malawi24, the man who was together with his nephew (the deceased’s brother) was forced to carry the dead body due to unavailability of ambulance at Wenya Health Centre in the district.
Bishop Martin Mtumbuka of Karonga Diocese of the Roman Catholic Church who met the man and his nephew while travelling in Chitipa said the family saw no other way of taking the remains of the child to their home which is 25 kilometres away from the health facility.
According to Mtumbuka, the girl was taken to the health centre on Wednesday morning but health workers only attended to her in the evening of the same day.
She died hours later and the family said she had insufficient blood.
When Mtumbuka met the family, they told him the girl’s mother was coming behind them.
“The reason why only the boy and uncle are seen in these pictures is that I gave them a lift when they stopped me. They told me the mother was following far way behind them,” said the Bishop.
Meanwhile, Mtumbuka has lamented the horrible situations Malawians in rural areas are subjected to.
He suggested that Malawians are grappling with such challenges because authorities have failed.
Mtumbuka however said these horrible experiences are totally unacceptable in a functioning state.
Said Mtumbuka: “When we say we have failed some people in this country some people think we are only ungrateful people who have nothing to say.
“But what should these very poor and troubled souls thank the people of this country for? Is there anybody who really cares about them? I suppose they are important in so far as they can vote and clap hands.”
but wy,
Nothing new ,it also happened to me but in my case , it was my first daughter .

Its a very bad development but I’m not seeing any reason of pointing finger to the president, what is wrong with the president what is the duty of the DC there,what about the DHO there,how about the MP there, even the NGO s there,even the churches themselves that are sourcing money from the poor every Saturdays and Sundays there.Let’s learn to help ourselves rather waiting for the government every time.
its not a strange thing to carry adead body on a back as long as its a young child dead body. only that this time with little development we see people carrying even small dead bodies in cars. but according to our culture in the north there is nothing strange even at my home eswazini such things have ever happened, there is no mihlolo (mwikho) so don’t exagerate things, to hell this is africa and in particular malawi
It’s been there. Situations force to do so.
Why? Let me know plz
Very sad indeed.
Smart sasu, i thought you r smart as your name stated, but no you r a he goat
First come fest save were were you be4
koma eeeee
Not new & not news.May the soul of the deceased RIP.
I remember late 90s people used to carry maliro pachitanda, amanyamula paphewa from the hospital mpaka kukafika malo amene maliro akupita, sikuti amakhala achibaleso onyamula ake ayi koma anthu akufuna kwabwino, amati akachoka pachipatala mudzi umene awupeze oyambilirawo ndi umene umanyamula to the next village respectively, but Malawi malero alibe chikondi
That’s very true
That’s very true
its sad..neh…sad..very..very sad.i wonder why even the media could put this
Stop point finger to Presdent if uknow the way where presedent can find money just go and tell him there’s not only one hosPita in Malawi so he can’t manage to follow up every hospital I order to know wats goiing on there so it’s better to know Hw can we depend on ourselves .this happens in so many areas not only there in chitipa no plz if something happen try to solve our problem without pointing finger to someone who even don’t know what happen in our area.may almighty God comfort all the mourners n give them brave to accept this is the way everyone will go to heaven .RIP our ANGEL

Its really sad to note. But we have to know that it happens in other areas too not only in Chitipa. This is a reflection of our present state. It’s due to insufficient resources but this is pathetic.

This is Africa,black governments don’t care at all….when Malawi,Zambia and Zimbabwe were a Federation Of Nyasaland and Rhodesia under the British rule,black people used to have access to best medical facilities and best schools and best houses and excellent services from Government….Black governments are a disgrace
Disgrace? White system brainwashed u study black people’s history and find out how we are trapped
