President Dr. Lazarus McCarthy Chakwera says Reverend John Chilembwe remains an indelible symbol of national sacrifice and patriotism.
The president made the remarks on Monday 15th January 2023 at Providence Industrial Mission in Chiradzulu during the commemoration of Chilembwe Day.
In his remarks, Chakwera hailed Reverend Chilembwe saying his brave acts paved way for emancipation of natives.
“May his martyrdom be a mirror from which today’s Malawi should shape its development aspirations,” he said.
The president has since renamed Phalombe District Hospital to John Chilembwe Hospital as way of fully entrenching his name in the affairs of Malawi for generations to come.
