A sombre mood engulfed Last Church in Nkhotakota district after the demise of its elder who was born in 1907.

Secretary of the Last Church in the district Pastor Mangwere said the death of the old man, Mr Magaisa who died aged 108, will create an unsealed hole in Last Church in the district.

“The old man was dedicated towards church activities,” said Pastor Mangwere.

ripThe Man of God added that the old man was not like other people who swap churches as they are getting old.

The late Magaisa was born in 1907 and has left 231 grandchildren. He is among a few people who reached such an age in Malawi where life expectancy is 58 years for males.

The late old man hailed from Nkhandwe Village, Traditional Authority Malengachanzi in Nkhotakota.
