President Chakwera has commended the faith community in the country for standing with his government at all times including in the times of calamities.

Chakwera was speaking during the Sunday Service prayers at Monkey-Bay Living Waters Church in Mangochi on 15th October, 2023.

“Malawi is going through a lot of challenges, but could have been beyond if not for the faith community standing with the government in prayers.


Sometimes we do not see Jesus amidst us, but it does not mean he is not there. He is always there with us” Said President Chakwera who himself is a well known Pastor having served as a Pastor and President of Malawi Assemblies of God for many years before ascending to the position of the State President.

Chakwera then encouraged Monkey-Bay Living Waters Church to keep their and move with it to grow the church in all aspects including church projects.

“I came here to worship with you and extend my heartfelt thanks to Apostle Ndovi for he is one of the faith pillars in this country” Added President Chakwera.

Malawi’s leader took advantage of his speech during the prayers to wish all mothers in the country a Happy Mother’s Day, as the country celebrates the day.

Speaking earlier, Bishop Ralph Kachikuni who spoke on behalf of the Apostle Stanley S. Ndovi thanked the President for congregating with the Living Waters Church of Monkey-Bay, saying it describes the humble leader President Chakwera is.

He then commended the Chakwera Government for the freedom of worship in the country.

“Malawi is blessed to have you as its President, for you know the responsibility of the church in the country. Malawi does not only have the President in you, but you are more than a President. You are the father of our nation, and at the same time you are a Man of God, that is something unique and a blessing to our country.

As Living Waters Church in collaboration with other churches, we always pray for you and will keep praying for you until God fulfills what he put you on the position you are holding today” Said Bishop Kachikuni.

Further, he encouraged the President to keep moving forward with the vision he has for Malawi so that Malawi prospers.

Malawi’s self-acclaimed political activist and famous comedian Bon Elias Kalindo says he is the Biblical David who is sacrificing his heart to die for his father’s flock and that he is not afraid as God who sent him to fight for Malawians will give him strength.

Kalindo said he is aware of the threats which were revealed by Limpopo FM that he is on the list to be eliminated claiming that some other people have been given guns to kill him, others on the plan to kidnap him saying he has left all these threats to God to fight for him.



He said he made his informed decision before his family members who pleaded with him to stop organizing demonstrations against President Dr. Lazarus Chakwera and his Malawi Congress Party (MCP) to save his life and that he has a family to look after.

Speaking through an audio clip circulating in various social media platforms, Kalindo has encouraged those who have been given guns to kill him, and those who have a plan to kidnap him to an unknown destination for poisoning to fulfill their mission.

The activist said he is ready to die for the poor Malawians as their president and will not keep quiet to see poor people continue suffering as if they don’t have a President to share their concerns and grievances challenging his assassins that God has sent him for a purpose.

He said he was reliably informed that top detectives at Area 30- National Police Headquarters are busy compiling audios and video clips by activists so that come 2024 they should be all arrested and charged of treason offenses.

The Activist has however, assured Police Detectives at Area 30 to go ahead to find elements of treason in activists audio and video clips assuring them that if it is treason to speak of no fertilizer in the country, no medicines in hospitals, National Identity Card numbers are collected for rigging purposes in 2025, he is ready to face treason charges in court.

He said he will not stop fighting for the rights of the poor people to be respected and if it is to kill him, he will not be the first to be killed by the MCP, many were killed and others were detained without trial, MCP past history cannot be forgotten.

“If you kill me, don’t forget that one day also, you will die, I was born in Malawi, to die in Malawi and to be buried in Malawi,” said Kalindo.

He said if it is written that Bon Kalindo will be killed by the MCP, let that prophecy come to live that MCP was a party of death and is still a party of death observing that Rwandan soldiers as in Bakili Muluzi TV are in the country, driving VXs without number plates, some in a business of microfinancing and lending guns for money saying all these are lessons to be drawn before Kalindo’s death.

Minister of local government, unity and culture Richard Chimwendo Banda has warned politicians in the country against using cultural groupings for their political gains, saying politics and culture are two different things.

Chimwendo Banda who was speaking when he represented President Lazarus Chakwera at a Chewa Heritage Foundation (Chefo) fundraising activity at Civo Stadium in Lilongwe, said instead, politicians should be promoting peaceful coexistence among people regardless of their cultural backgrounds.

The minister also appealed to custodians of various cultural groupings in the country to rally behind government’s programmes such education and ending child marriages.

“We are blessed to have different cultural ceremonies but these should not create boundaries among us but rather act as a cementing ingredient to our Malawian identity. No one should make us believe that we are different,” said Chimwendo Banda.

He said time has come when Malawians should stop aligning political affiliation to region, tribe or ethnicity rather think of the better future of the country and make positive contributions.

The Minister said government is restoring the powers and respect of chiefs so that they should in turn help government preach peace and unity to their subjects.

On his part, Chefo chairperson Stanley Khaira asked the Chewas to leave in harmony among themselves and with other tribes in order to ensure a peaceful Malawi.

Khaira said the Chewa king Kalonga Gawa Undi always advises his chiefs to live in harmony with other tribes and always lead their people by example.

The fundraising activity was attended by Chefo leadership, chiefs, politicians from different parties and representatives of other cultural groups including the Lhomwe, Ngoni, Tumbuka and Yao.
