Speaking during the colourful ceremony held on Saturday, TA Kayembe asked the new village headman to collaborate with all traditional leaders in the area for government to achieve sustainable development.
“As village headman Isaki, work together with all traditional leaders in this area and be dedicated to perform superbly. Support government of the day for development to prevail,” said Chief Kayembe.
She cautioned traditional leaders against the practice of seizing land from people in their area, as this development is counter productive.
Speaking earlier, group village headman Sendeza asked the newly crowned Isaki to respect Chiefs.
Village headman Isaki told reporters after the ceremony that he was short of words on his new status in society, adding that he is yet to experience what it feels to be traditional leader.

ReplyDeleteI do not know who owns malawi digest, but it was not right for you to accuse us at nyasatimes of copy and pasting your articles, we are too big for that. zautsilu basi.
Whether you are big or note we readers noted that you were copying pictures from Malawi Digest, Secondly you have been unfair in your reporting. Too much bias towards one party, one region and one political patron, Bakili Muluzi.
ReplyDeleteMr Tom Chiumia,
ReplyDeleteHappy to hear from you. I agree with the above observation. Nyasatimes too big? My foot. Remember what you wrote on where Inkosi Ya Makosi Gomani died? You said it was in South Africa. We can google that and have the evidence.
When Malawi Digest published that he died in Ntcheu, you changed your site as well to reflect the same.
Instead of promoting yourself, why don't you just improve on the shortfalls other than claiming to be too big.
As for the Chafukira story, yes, you broke it but you had no picture of Chafukira.
The following day after Malawi Digest published a picture of Chafukira, without shame you stole the picture and put it on your site up until now.
If you are asked to prove the source of that picture of Chafukira would you provide? I don't think so.
Tell your gattter reporters on the ground to also be getting pictures for you.
If you don't steal and paraphrase Malawi Digest stories, no one will attack you or accuse you of anything.
Malawi Digest moto!
Digest what's happening? Tikufuna nkhani apa osati za Nyasatimes, diary ya Bakili Muluzi.
ReplyDeleteNkhani ziri kuti Malawi Digest. We relay on you. Kodi Chikaonda nchito siinathe? Wabweza MK25 million.
ReplyDeleteThom Chiumia,
