“Chiefs remain members of the district council, when an area has a chief it means its increase in the council where decision making takes place so it is important to elevate these Chiefs.”

“School is so important. Am now turning 70 my parents tried to send me to school but i dropped out thinking it was right. Now as am growing old i have realized that school drop outs and early marriages are bad, that’s why today am encouraging chiefs to sensitize people on the importance of education.”

The setting sun on DPP nostalgia is best imprinted in the hearts of our Lhomwe people throw the gifts that consolidate cronyism. Let’s hope that the demigod of the Lhomwe was in the company of the ritualistic hounds spilling whatever to intimidate the onlookers on the empty potent of the Angulu sorcery. Campaigns in the Kamuzu palace and in the Angulu belt lulululu!!
