Chikulamayembe to have military honours burial
Office of the President and Cabinet (OPC) says the late powerful Tumbuka chief of Rumphi, Chikulamayembe burial will be accorded a full military honours.
The paramount chief died on November 29 at Mzuzu Central Hospital and would be interred Tuesday at his headquarters in Chilongozgi village in Bolero, Rumphi.
“His Excellency the President, Professor Arthur Peter Mutharija, has directed that the late paramount chief Chikulamayembe be accorded a burial with military honours,” says a statement from OPC signed by Cliff Chiunda.
President Mutharika will attend the funeral ceremony of the chief who has had a “not quite cordial relationship” with the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP).
He is famous to have withdrawn his statement at a presidential rally when he endorsed Mutharika for the presidency in 2019 and later told people to vote in the election according to their own conscience.
MaMilitary honours for what? President wa ku Malawi kuno …Useless decisions
Military this, military this. Kodi mukuwawopa Atumbukawa. Aaaa mwatiwonjeza.
campaign in everything my brother.
This military honours is now abused. It should have criteria.
Why and what is wrong with Mutharika, he doesn’t attend funeral ceremonies except the one of his brother Bingu? What is he afraid of? What keeps him busy to miss such functions of people of high calibre in society? Is this man Malawian or American?
Ma agemate ya pitala nthawi yakwana. Pitala won’t finish second term and tsutsani. Tizivomereza tikakula. Kumapuma as Callista put it.
Campaign yavuta. No military honors for TA Somba. No military honors for Ngaunje. Alamu Pumani Mwakalamba wapenga. Kuba. Atumbuka are not push overs. Remove quota system of education that targets them.
He will not attend, how predictable. Perhaps a bladder problem?
Military honors everywhere. Mavote avuta
Zikanachitikira mwene wa mamwene mukanaona fumbi lake
Darkness hates light, he was the light as he spoke the truth. Truth hurts. Someone is still hurting. May his soul rest in eternal peace and may the truth continue with the heir.
It was obvious the president was not going to attend the funeral of a Tumbuka king.
