Malawi Mourns Vice President Saulos Chilima’s Tragic Death In Plane Crash
Malawi has been plunged into a state of national mourning following the tragic death of Vice President Saulos Chilima in a plane crash on Monday, June 10, 2024. President Lazarus Chakwera has declared a 21-day national mourning period in honor of Chilima and the nine other passengers who lost their lives in the tragic accident. The plane, a Dornier 228 aircraft, was carrying Chilima and his staff on a short flight from the capital, Lilongwe, to the northern city of Mzuzu to attend the funeral of a former government minister. However, it disappeared from radar and crashed in the Chikangawa Forest in Mzimba District, killing everyone on board. Chilima, 51, was a prominent
figure in Malawian politics and had been serving as Vice President since 2014. He was known for his strong stance against corruption, despite facing charges himself, which were later dropped. His death has sent shockwaves across the country, with many mourning the loss of a dedicated public servant.
The news of Chilima’s death has been met with an outpouring of grief from across the country. Malawians from all
walks of life have been paying their respects, with many gathering at the airport to receive the bodies of the victims. The streets are filled with mourners, and flags are flying at half-mast as a sign of respect. President Chakwera has appointed a ministerial committee to oversee preparations for Chilima’s state funeral, which is expected to be held soon. The government has also declared a 21-day national mourning period, during which all flags will fly at half staff.
The crash has raised questions about the safety of the country’s aviation industry, with many calling for an investigation into the cause of the accident. The government has promised a thorough investigation and has sought the assistance of international experts. As Malawi mourns the loss of its Vice President, the country remains in a state of shock and grief. Chilima’s death is a significant loss to the nation, and his legacy will be remembered for years to come. The 21-day mourning period is a testament to the respect and admiration that Chilima commanded, and it is a fitting tribute to a dedicated public servant who lost his life in the service of his country.
