Mutharika lampooned online


Peter Mutharika

Malawi President Peter Mutharika’s ‘trespassing’ claims that he was Henry Masauko Chipembere’s personal assistant at the age 15 have landed the president some fresh eggs on his face.

Upon fact checking the president, historians and political scientists have all reached a conclusion that President Mutharika lied to the nation about him being a personal assistant to Masauko Chipembere, one of Malawi’s founding fathers.

Now people on social media are making fun of the president, transposing themselves or President Mutharika with the world’s key historical figures in a similar manner as the President had alluded to.

“When I was ten years old, I used to be an errand boy for Moses of the Bible” wrote lawyer Bright Theu.

Some have placed the 78-year-old president who is seeking a second team in next year’s presidential elections alongside Nelson Mandela, saying the president did not only help secure Madela’s release but was his personal advisor in ending the anti-apartheid.

Mutharika has also been placed among astronauts who landed on the moon.
