A lot of people expressed sorrow over the President’s health condition.

Some posted simple unconfirmed updates, such as ‘Ndege inyamuka 19.00 hrs wa ku South Africa’, indicating the time the plane that was airlifting the President to South Africa would take off from Kamuzu International Airport, and ‘Top government and DPP officials seen at KCH with solemn faces’ all in an effort to keep Malawians informed on what was going on.

Others expressed shock by posting: ‘Oh No!!’, while well-wishers simply posted: ‘ I wish you a speedy recovery…’ and ‘Get well soon’.

Not forgetting their Christian side, some called for divine intervention, urging: ‘Pray Malawi Pray!’ or ‘Let us pray for HE’s quick escape from pain!’ and ‘Malawi you Have to Pray…This is Serious…We need Divine Intervention Now!’

Another entry said: ‘Surely, it is not Malawian to wish each other dead, no matter what, let’s pray for our leader who is a father, a husband, a granny, a brother, and, most importantly, our President. He is needed by his family and he also needs his life…Let’s relentlessly wish him well, a small prayer will do wonders.’

Another facebooker posted: ‘No comment. And all God’s children must remember that He already said it that “vengeance is His”. Amamenya nkhondo yekha Mulungu.’

Others said a little prayer, posting: ‘Praying for Malawi. May God’s peace and wisdom reign during this time. I come against any plan of the devil in Jesus name.’

Some were even worried about the development taking place during this Easter season.

But, as if summing up people’s views, one posted: ‘Whether you wish him well or [not], only God’s will will be done.’
