There is a recording circulating, maybe a Sheikh, lamenting how MCP dumped their Deputy President; Sidik Mia in death. He spoke after burial, a well spoken lad; switching linguistic codes around Arabic, English and Chichewa.
The Sheikh, says, with COVID – 19 or no COVID – 19 Mia deserved better. There was neither an MCP NGC member nor a Cabinet Minister at the Hospital, Blantyre or Ngambu homes.Not even on the convoy, he says.
The remains got stopped many times, at traffic lights. There was not even a single traffic control car to lead, for a man of Mia’s stature, the Sheikh says.
The Sheikh claimed Mia strategized and funded Chakwera and MCP [ call it Tonse when drunk] to win. The treatment has been bad, he says.
He fell short of just saying all MCP “beggars” who dined with Mia were conspicuously missing. He was hurt. The family is hurt.
The Muslims are hurt. Lower Shire is hurt. No flag, no nothing. This is not divisive, it is reality as explained by this Sheikh.
He argued Chakwera was addressing the country at a time Mia was also being buried.
He said, even if it meant being 100 metres away from Mia’s remains, a presidential rep at the ceremony would have been appreciated.
There was no word from the President or party, he claims.
Inbox your numbers if you have not received the clip.
I will share. I will not comment on the merits or demerits of the Sheikh’s arguments.
One thing is clear, as I have said, whole day, today – MCP abandons its support base.
If MCP cannot look after its own, it can’t look after the country.
MCP needs to recant. To be defensive will be disastrous, reflect reflect reflect.
This criticism is good and must be looked at positively. The level of disorganization is at another level.
Godot, your one term is cut out indeed!
I hope u didn’t listen carefully to the audio… This kind of reporting is what devides the country… Nowhere in the audio is the word beggars mentioned, maybe I was drunk when I listened to it
It’s very sad that the giant Sadic Mia is nomore. Surely the man played a big roll to where we are today. God sow it fit to allow him to cross over at this juncture. We can not argue with Devine immigration .
It’s not proper as a servant of the Almighty God to now start finding faults with everyone on the burial of the late minister. Trying to magnify some short comings of his funeral to appoint of blaming everyone in Tonse . Covid19 guidelines clearly makes the burial of a Covid19 death to be handled by the state irrispective of status. That needs to be accepted. Our people in Malawi just like this Sheik refuse to accept that we have a pandemic before us and there are rules to be followed to protect much spread. You will see people arguing wanting to go to Covid19 funerals in thousands. NO let’s accept we have a challenge that needs the Sheiks to focus on prayers so that God can take away this plague upon our nation and generation. Stop politics on Sadic’s death God permitted so.
