Over the weekend, all roads led to Chonde in Luchenza Mulanje where the Lhomwe people were commemorating the 1st anniversary to the day they launched their cultural grouping, the Mulhako Wa Alhomwe. There was eating, drinking and dancing among many other things. It was all, Alhomwe Noophiya, meaning Lhomwes have arrived. Malawi Digest was there to capture the event for you.

ReplyDeleteCongrants all Lhomwes! Happy 1st Annivesary.
Good pictures of the event. I hope having posted them on your site, Nyasatimes will not steal them again as they normally do.
ReplyDeleteGreat job.
I have seen the pictures that have been posted on this site. When Nyasatimes steal them as they always do, we will all know.
ReplyDeleteKeep on Malawi Digest.
Good pictures. Though a Tumbuka, I don't see any reason why people are making a fuss about Mulhako. Let them come together and defend their tribe.
ReplyDeleteThe Ngoni's led by Mbelwa are doing it, the Chewas under Malewezi and I hear Lundu is forming his Mang'anja grouping. What's wrong you Malawians.
ReplyDeleteMulhako Wa Alhomwe patsogolo. Next year, I will definately attend, I saw on TV that I missed alot.
Koman a Chairman a Mulhako a Mwanamvekhawo ndiye kuvalatu. Mpaka trouser ya Chitenje cha Mulhako? I have have laughed my lungs out. Is this the same guy who was being framed as RBM governor? No wonder he lost a post. Is he still the Malawi Savings Bank CEO?

ReplyDeleteVery interesting news about alomwe in Malawi. The Idea of learning and writing emakhuwa/elomwe languages is great. so I suggest to those interested in the language to see the site www.muthuko.zoomshare.com having active home page, photos and blog.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to those seeking to revive and develope peoples culture. Success
