With heavy hearts, the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) joins the nation of Malawi and the global music community in mourning the passing of Honourable Lucius Banda, fondly known as the “Soldier of the Poor.” His demise on June 30, 2024, while under medical care in South Africa, has cast a profound sense of sorrow not only across Malawi but throughout the world of music.
Honourable Banda’s legacy transcends mere musical talent; it epitomizes a deep-rooted commitment to social justice and equality. His lyrics resonated powerfully with the struggles and aspirations of marginalized and disadvantaged communities, making him a steadfast advocate for the people.
Lucius Banda
“As we come together to mourn Honourable Lucius Banda’s passing, we recognize the immense impact he has had on our society,” expressed His Excellency, Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika, Former President of Malawi and President of the DPP, alongside Her Excellency Professor, Madam Gertrude Mutharika, Former First Lady. “His music was more than entertainment; it was a beacon of hope during tumultuous times, shedding light on the inequalities faced by many Malawians.”
Honourable Banda’s music possessed a unifying power, bridging diverse backgrounds and political affiliations with its message of love, peace, and unity. Beyond his musical prowess, he was a dedicated activist who utilized his platform to effect positive societal change, paving the way for subsequent artists to use their music as a catalyst for social transformation.
“In celebrating Honourable Lucius Banda’s life and enduring legacy, we find solace in the knowledge that his music will continue to inspire and uplift generations to come,” remarked Shadric Namalomba MP, Presidential and Party Spokesperson for the DPP. “His songs will forever echo the aspirations of the marginalized, serving as a reminder of the ongoing quest for a more just and equitable society.”
“Our heartfelt condolences go out to Honourable Banda’s family, friends, and countless fans during this time of profound loss,” added Namalomba. “May his soul find eternal peace, and may his music remain a steadfast beacon of hope for generations to come.”
As we honor the memory of Honourable Lucius Banda, the Democratic Progressive Party reaffirms its commitment to advancing the welfare and aspirations of all Malawians, guided by his exemplary life and unwavering dedication to social justice.
The month of June, 2024 will go in the history of the country as one of the saddest months in Malawi.
In this month which has just ended on Sunday, Malawi lost many of its prominent and dedicated sons and daughters.
The month started with the death of veteran Broadcaster cum Actor Hope Chisanu who died on 1st June in United States of America.
Chisanu was a popular broadcaster at the Malawi Broadcasting Corporation (MBC) and was one of Malawi’s finest Actors and Director of Ceremonies

Chisanu starred in notable films such as Shame Joya’s “Seasons of Life”, “The Last Fishing Boat” as well as “The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind” and “Is the President Dead?.”
On June 7, Malawi also lost one of the brilliant lawyers in the country, Ralphael Kasambara. Kasambara was found dead at a Lodge in Lilongwe.
Then the mother of all tragedies occured on June 10, 2024 as the country lost the Vice President Saulos Chilima and eight other compatriots including the former First Lady Patricia Shanil Dzimbiri.
Chilima and the rest of the team died in an aeroplane crash in Chikangawa Forest, Mzimba district when he was going to attend Kasambara’s burial ceremony in Nkhatabay district.
Shanil Dzimbiri
Apart from the death of these people, the month of June was also characterised with numerous road accidents claiming so many lives across the country.
The month of June also saw the passing on of Reverend Killion Mgawi who died on June 23, 2024.
Reverend Mgawi was the first General Secretary for Nkhoma Synod and was also one of the pioneers of Students Christian Organisation of Malawi (SCOM).
Spyral Mwenya
At some point he served as Commissioner of Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) as well as Board Chairperson for MACOHA.
On June 25 death showed its ugly face again; this time around taking the life of renowned graphics designer and hip-hop artist Kennedy Mwenya popularly know in music circles as “Spyral.”
Spyral died in Mzuzu following a road accident that occurred when he was coming from a funeral ceremony of one of his relatives.
Just when we thought June was going to end better, death came to take the lives of two of Malawi’s well known personalities on the last day of the month.
Bishop Charles Kapenga
In the wee hours of June 30, Malawi lost one of popular preachers Bishop Charles Watison Kapenga, farther to hip-hop artist Waxy Kay.
Kapenga who was the founder of Believers Assembly International Church, died at Queen Elizabeth hospital where he was admitted for almost a month.
As if that was not enough, in the evening of June 30, news broke out that Malawi’s legendary musician Lucius Banda was no more.
Coincidentally, the message of Banda’s death, came at a time when people in his home district, Balaka and surrounding areas, gathered for a candlelighting ceremony in commemoration of the life of Saulos Chilima who was also the leader of UTM, a political party which Lucius Banda belonged.
This is how Malawians ended the month of June which has left people with a lot of scars and painful memories.
After all is said and done we will remember the month of June as one of the most depressing month in the history of the country.
In a recent development, the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) has officially denied the existence of a purported apology letter addressed to the Speaker and leaders in Mwanza West. Honorable Shadric Namalomba, who serves as the presidential advisor and spokesperson for the DPP, confirmed in an interview on Sunday, June 30, 2024, that the circulating letter is entirely fabricated.
The misinformation had suggested that the DPP had formally apologized through a written communication to the Speaker and local leaders in Mwanza West. However, Namalomba categorically stated that the party did not originate nor endorse any such correspondence.
Namalomba
Addressing the issue, Namalomba emphasized the DPP’s commitment to transparency and truthfulness in its communications. He expressed concern over the spread of false information and reiterated the party’s dedication to upholding ethical standards in its engagements.
The incident highlights the challenges of misinformation in political environments and underscores the importance of verifying sources before disseminating information. As the DPP strives to maintain credibility, Namalomba reassured the public of the party’s steadfast focus on serving its constituents with integrity.
With the confirmation of the letter’s falsity, the DPP aims to clarify the situation and prevent further confusion among stakeholders. Moving forward, the party remains resolute in its efforts to foster genuine dialogue and constructive relationships within the political landscape.
