  1. So He Not Supose To Make His Own Disitions Coz He Is President, What Could We Benefit From That, Lets Think About Development Than Westing Our Time Speaking Useless Things. He Have Rights Like U And I

  2. Even though you can back up errors with our leader, am also concerned he was supposed to be there,palibe chotukwanilana, he Iz the head of leaders in this country, must be exemplary, apa apita ku idol worship mulhakho wa Alomwe! Dr Muluzi was on forefront @burial of veteran Chakufwa Chihana, see Aleke Banda, he was there too, tsoka ngati zolakwisazi zamchulukira, rem amati tsoka likalinba umakuotcha ndi Nkute, a Bwana ndiwowasatira must change in decision makings, truth pains, let Malawi feel we have leaders with humility, anyway Madzi akatayika sawoleka”’Voice of voiceless Malawi ‘

  3. Kodi mtundu wa a Mutharika ndi anthu? They are full of thweselves yet they claim to be Malawians. Which Malawian can be as cultureless as these idiot? Where did they study after all? Kamuzu tuaght us to follow our own culture that marks us different from other countries even in this african region. Nobody knows when to die or when such thing befalls us, zikachitika munthu amasiya ma program ake onse ofunika just for some hours and concetrate on the funeral.
    His brother also dispised Chihana funeral by sendind the same Chaponda, buros, macacos inculturados, educated cultureless savages. Nao tem vergonha? Very shameful leaders.
