Malawi Minister Eunice Kazembe dies in SA
Malawi Former Minister of Education, Eunice Kazembe has died.
Kazembe, 61, who was now the Minister in the Office of President and Cabinet responsible for Good Governance died at a South African Hospital following a stroke.
Malawi President Joyce Banda, recently visited the ailing minister in South Africa. Banda told the press on her return from United Nations General Assembly said Kazembe was “her friend and minister that is why she had to travel to visit her in hospital”.
Announcing the death of Kazembe, President Banda said: “I am sad to inform you of the passing away of my minister in the President’s office, Hon Eunice Kazembe.
She noted that late Kazembe served Malawi under her government “with profound commitment and sincerity.”
“Join me in prayers for God our maker to bring comfort to her family at this most difficult time,” said President Banda.
Kazembe previously served as of CEO of the defunct Malawi Development Corporation (MDC) and Malawi’s Ambassador to the Taiwan. She has served in various Ministrial posts during between 2004 and 2013.
If we continue sending our ministers for treatment abroad, then they may not even consider improving our hospitals because they know they have that previledge. Charity begins at home. South Africa is a developed country and we just making them richer. Think about it.
Kodi ku Malawi,kulibe zipatala? Mwaonatu imfa simaona kuti uyu ndi ndani? Imatenga otuwa ndi osamba ndikusiya ulemerero onse pansi pano:
awuse mumtendere wa a mbuye I hope the looters will realise what damage they have done to the country’s hospital service
Serious questions need to be asked to our mentally challenged woman president, as to why out of all capable Malawian men and women, she thought it was very important to choose someone who has been bed ridden for months for the ministerial possition.
With due respect to the deceased lady, how can Malawi develop if we keep electing people who are incapacitated in one way or another into these high profile positions? Perhaps the president new that this woman was on her way out and that when it happens her boys should steal more money from govt. in the name of making funeral arrangements, at least thats the way I look at it.
Eunice helped plunder and siphon public resources from MDC and Admarc during the UDF Government. Her hands have blood money. Nevertheless , rest in peace dear.
For God’s sake have some respect people, yes we have our indifferences but that shouldn’t make us lose our sanity and dignity as human beings. How are we different from those we claim to be evil if we got nothing else constructive to say. Its not fair to attribute Malawi’s economic problems to the deceased or the president. Developments starts in the brain… lets check ourselves.
