Thousands of Malawians on Sunday lined up the streets of Blantyre to welcome President Dr Lazarus McCarthy Chakwera who is in the Southern Region for various engagements.
Among the engagements on the cards are, Chilembwe Day commemoration and National Tree Planting Day.
In his welcoming speech, MCP’s Southern Region chairman Hon Peter Simbi said President’s visit to the south is very timely.
Simbi said people of the Southern Region want Chakwera to physically appreciate the current hunger status in the region and progress of interventions such as food distribution.
The chair said the President has demonstrated true statesmanship.
National director of campaign in the ruling Malawi Congress Party who is also Minister of Information and Digitalization, Moses Kunkuyu, described Chakwera as the only person with solutions towards challenges which Malawians are facing.
The President addressed people on whistle stops at Chirimba, Mbayani and Chemusa.
