Stand up comedian Mr. Jokes has taken a jab at gospel artists in Malawi claiming there is just none of them doing concepts that fall in the gospel music genre.
Mr. Jokes who hit the limelight after making appearances on state owned Malawi Broadcasting Corporation (MBC) TV comedy show Phwete says he has avidly followed what is termed as gospel music but has not been impressed.
He threw the jabs when he was on stage at the Miss Blantyre show last Friday.
Mr Jokes. real name Andrew Thonyiwa cited the songs like Ondikonda Ndili Naye by Favoured Martha, Mundisungile Kolona by the late Grace Chinga and Baraba by Evance Meleka.
‘’These songs seem that the artists have personal issues and they want to cheat people with unholy concepts of that sort. They want to force people to believe they are gospels artists. We need change seriously,’’ he said while sending the patrons into laughter.
He then performed a song that gave emphasize to the word ‘Halleluiah’ which he said was a pure reflection of a gospel song.
‘’You see what, a gospel song must preach the word of God and not hold conflict concepts like in the songs I have named here.’’ Said the comedian.
A cross section of patrons Malawi24 spoke to had argued that the comedian had a point and said the gospel music genre is seemingly going haywire and its been covered up by mediocrity.
At the event, Hanna Mhone emerged winner with Myria Khoza coming as first Princess and Chimwemwe Khembo as the third Princess.

Komatu wamisala anaona nkhondo. Osangoti poti amapanga majoke ndiye zitayeni mmmmm. I totally agree with this guy. Just listen to the songs mentioned. The pointing to someone who did something and coz the singer didn’t have access to talk straight to him, instead they go writing the song, full of enmity. No that is not the way God wants gospel singers (preachers) should do. Komanso kuonjedzerapo .apa , gospel singers too much prostituting. Zikwangwani be careful God is watching u

Thts very true mr jokes
Ake ndi ma jokes not attacking gospel musician. He sometimes jokes about politicians, Pastors only to make people laugh. I think u dont understand joking. Or maybe u r on internship u only wanted to show ur bosses that u r good in covering stories. I may help u, go to a political rally write exactly u see there. Wamvesesa boy? See the meaning of the word ‘joke’ in ur dictionary today.
But still there is a point in what he said. sometimes when you even listen to the story behind such songs you may find that they are more personal. Lets take a good example of Don Moen. the man sings for the Glory of the Lord
Only God knows who we are to judge? Faith is a game of the heart.

There is really a problem with our malawian gospel. Gospel in malawi is for intertainment and not spreading the good news. Its more of a source of gold and siver.
