Second VP Enock Chihana gave President Peter Mutharika a huge shout-out at a massive cultural bash in Mzimba on Saturday – insisting the Malawi leader has smashed old political barriers between government and opposition. Chihana used the platform to reaffirm government’s commitment to backing cultural festivals and heritage associations, saying they’re key to boosting national unity, tourism and sustainable development across Malawi. “Culture is responsible for all that makes us, what we eat, wear and how we speak,” he told the crowd. Not to be outdone, M’mbelwa V unveiled his own wishlist for the heritage site – including a hotel, GOLF COURSE and dormitories – but admitted the Ngoni can’t build it all alone. “We want to construct a hotel, golf course and dormitories, among others,” the chief said, appealing directly to investors to team up with the Mzimba Heritage Association to make it happen.
