Musician Skeffa Chimoto has challenged authenticity of a picture showing him and two other top musicians carrying a Malawian flag bearing anti-Peter Mutharika message.
The picture which is in circulation on social media shows Chimoto, Lulu and Dan Lu holding a Malawian flag in the name of pride for the nation.
What raises eyebrows is the inscription on the flag which reads “APM must resign.”
The picture went viral yesterday, barely a day after South African president Jacob Zuma’s resignation.
The Chikondi Chabodza hit maker has been quick to play a public relations role on the matter.
In a Facebook statement released yesterday, Chimoto cleared his name and those of other concerned parties, Lulu and Dan Lu.
“I would like to inform the general public and all my beloved followers that the picture which has gone viral on social media showing Lulu, Dan Lu and myself holding the Malawi flag is altered by writing defamatory words against the country’s leadership,” reads the text’s first part.
According to the Lilongwe based singer, the picture was taken in 2016 in the United Kingdom when they went for a music performance.
“Please ignore this picture and I forgive whosoever did it for the reasons best known to him or herself.”
He also advised people to focus on important things that can lead to development of Malawi, rather than wrecking other people’s images in the name of politics.
In one of his songs titled Malawi, Skeffa Chimoto calls for unity among the citizenry despite owing allegiance to different political parties and football teams.

We speak what is there and we are not going backward but forward until you vomit with your coward leader and your DPP. How can I baffle my girlfriend with this story? Idiot! !!!!!!!!!! With your malafide comment. Do not exhaust me please.
Prof APM and DPP.. 2019 & beyond ”Chilungamo chimapweteka..”
if you want him out wait 2019 is around the corner but Ican asure you APM ILL DO IT AGAIN
Banda no way APM wanna not make it again next year. If he will make it I can asure you and challenging you that I wanna vacate Malawi to Mozambique just to show my angrier. His days are numbered if you don’t know. We don’t need this incompetent leader anymore.
Now i know.. ”U don’t know what u talkinabout..”
U think I am blind that I can’t see and know what is happening or what I ‘m talking about. No way Mr man I ‘m seeing properly and know that APM wanna be out next year (take it or leave it).

Guys enaife we r using free data can some one post de whole story nafe tiwerenge nawo plz plz plz guyz dnt insult
This is inhuman to someone who have done this .
Its an intimidation to someone who have a good reputation to his /her country leadership .
Skeffa is not a politician ,or if he is am not sure he certain to came on public to critisize .
He once release a song called Malawi ,which urges Malawian to unite together ,let’s not not fight each whether you are ngoni ,yao ,mlomwe,tumbukans we are all Malawians
Everyone is politican because millions of Malawi they go to vote then you, you are politican coz you comming on political event
And you have long idea because their is no fight, unit it don’t matter tribes or political or countries or football teams or regions
#njerekeza I like ur thinking 100%
KKKKKK
Mr tendai if you think all of us we are politician your conclusion is wrong ,some of us we never vote either not because of religion but just to choose .
We support every government once we are Malawians we have no choice .
If it is the cause do you ever ask skeffa which political party he voted for ?
Malawians let’s not intimidate others think of you first .
All politicians are evil people ,don’t you think skeffa chimoto can loose life just cos of someone intimidation .
Tech is every where people use it for difference purpose
so who r those people ,may b am mistaken with some one plz tel me is skeffa there ? if yes den guilty as charged .
