Mzimba chiefs, led by Paramount Chief Inkosi Mbelwa V, have rejected UTM’s proposal to participate in a candlelight memorial event scheduled for tomorrow in Chikangawa.
The event coincides with the independence prayers, which will be led by the President, honoring the memory of the late Vice President and eight others who died in a plane crash last June.
Paramount Chief Inkosi Mbelwa V advised his chiefs to refrain from divisive politics and work with inclusive platforms.
In the same way, some people have rebuked some Cabinet members of the Tonse Alliance, specifically Hon. Vera Kantukule and Hon. Agness Nyalonje, for sponsoring a parallel meeting with finances, undermining the government’s independence prayers.
The independence prayers will unite the nation, its tribes, and regions, making the timing of the UTM event ill-conceived.
The President will lead the prayers, celebrating Malawi’s independence and unity.
Malawi gained independence from British colonial rule on July 6, 1964.
This significant milestone is celebrated annually with independence prayers, which unite the nation, its tribes, and regions.
This year’s prayers hold special significance as they coincide with a memorial event for the late Vice President and eight others who tragically passed away in a plane crash in Chikangawa last June.
