Vice President Jane Ansah on Monday urged the family of the late Rauline Moses and other mourners to remain strong in faith as they mourn the death of the 21-year-old daughter of Mzuzu City Mayor Councillor Chiyembekezo Glyn Moses.
Ansah made the remarks during Rauline’s burial ceremony at Area 18 Cemetery in Lilongwe, where she joined the bereaved family, relatives, friends and other mourners in paying their last respects.
The Vice President described the loss of a young person as heartbreaking and extended her condolences to the Moses family and the people of Mzuzu City.
Drawing lessons from Psalm 139 and the biblical story of Job,Ansah reminded mourners that human beings cannot always understand God’s ways, urging them to maintain their faith even in moments of deep sorrow.
She encouraged Rauline’s parents, relatives and friends not to give in to despair, saying God remain their source of strength, comfort and guidance during the difficult period.
The burial was marked by an emotional moment as Rauline’s parents laid wreaths at her graveside, expressing their love and grief as they bid farewell to their daughter.
Tributes also highlighted Rauline’s academic achievements and determination to excel.
She scored 14 points in her Malawi School Certificate of Education examinations(MSCE).
At the time of her death, she was a final-year Bachelor of Science in Geology student at the University of Malawi (UNIMA ) and was expected to travel to Japan to pursue a master’s degree.
However, her academic ambitions were cut short when she died on November 7, 2026, at Mumbwe Hospital in Mzuzu following a brief illness.
Born on September 23, 2005, Rauline’s death has left her family, fellow students, friends and the wider community mourning the loss of a young woman whose promising future was cut short.
