Malawi President Peter Mutharika has faced criticism over his decision to shun the funeral ceremony of statesman and former MEC Chairperson Maxon Mbendera who was laid to rest on Saturday in Blantyre.

Social commentators using the platform of the social media have faulted the Malawi leader for his ‘lack of humanity’ in failing to attend the funeral of Mbendera when he was already in Blantyre where the funeral ceremony was being held.

A Facebook status posted by Mutharika’s critic Gerald Chavez Kampanikiza in which he faulted the decision of Mutharika not to personally attend the funeral of Mbendera was received by agreement from most people who commented.

Mutharika at fault again.

“This man (Mutharika) is a foreigner,” commented one person in an apparent argument that the behaviour by Mutharika to shun the funeral was not what was expected of a Malawian.

“Strange that he attends Mulhakho wa Alhomwe to eat the aphrodisiac gondolosi every year,” another person said in faulting Mutharika.

“He knows something about this death and if he can dare going then he knows Mbendera’s soul will trouble him,” another person commented.

Mbendera’s funeral was attended by the leader of opposition in Parliament Lazarus Chakwera, the Vice President Saulos Chilima among other dignitaries. Mutharika was represented by his justice minister.

Ironically the President was only a distance away from  the home of Mbendera where the first service for the funeral was held.

  2. Mr Mbendela has passes through hell, made some tough decisions and to live with em all coz what DPP put him through.. Am sure he’s had words to say, confessions to make before his death, starting from the very day he announced the presidential winner in 2014. Politics had put his life into a huge dilemma especially as a Christian. Rest in peace Mr Mbendela. Your legacy will being everything to light. Am sure there’s more than just a reason as to why His Excellency did not even attend your funeral.

  98. Well i don’t see a problem but he could have delegated Saulos instead of Tembenu. Saulos could have been the one giving that eulogy and not Tembenu. It gives an impression that perhaps the two don’t talk to each other on matters of national concern but only on compaigns for the party. This is too bad for the Second In – Charge.

  101. Akanapita bwezi ena mukuti akuyendayenda kutha ndalama zaboma ndi entourage yake wachita delegate walakwaso koma munthu ndiovutadi eti

  119. Cheap politics. Had it been that he attended the ceremony, you could be the very same people pointing fingures at him for spending tax payers money. Just zip your dirty mouth if you have nothing to say.

    1. No Malawian would blame you for attending a funeral. We respect funerals a lot in Malawi. Nobody would’ve pointed a finger at him……at least nobody who matters anyway.

  121. Have ever seen a president doing campaign after winning election bola zinayenda zake koma pa umunthu he was sapporse to attend Mbendera’s funeral za ndale pambali i don’t see real reason for his absent

  138. My fellow Malawians,Think, that Jesus is coming soon.This kind of pointing finger will make you to austray.To be alive to day,it’s your chance to repent sins.Others are regreting while they are in Mortualy……My country Malawi,Too much talking can’t bare a fruit and our country can’t develop……

    3. Strange really strange for dead people regretting the life they once lived on this planet their in mortuary or there deep down their graveyards.

    5. Hmmmmm! This is wat most Malawians do.They only mark mistake and blasemy it,Instead of making corections. What country men are you.May God forgive you duo Amen!!!!!

    4. am not good in politics but i have something in malawi, any public office, the officer in~charge is appointed by the sitting president, so how come peter used late maxon mbendera while he was in opposition?

  173. He really knows the exact cause of Mbendera’s death…. What speach could he has made at the funeral, if his representative started kubwebweta saying he knows the cause of Mbendera’s demise. Apart from Chasowa, DPP has murdered Njauju, Mbendera and now baying for Kamlepo’s blood. DPP will finish us.
