By Twink Jones Gadama

In the quiet town of Lilongwe, Malawi, a chilling story of greed, betrayal, and murder has rocked the community.

The wife of the late Professor Mumba, Anne Mumba has been convicted and sentenced for his mysterious death, adding another chapter to the dark and twisted tale of her past husbands.

It all started with Peter, her fifth husband, whose wealth seemed to be the ultimate motive behind their marriage.

However, shortly after their union, Peter met his untimely demise under suspicious circumstances.

Rumors spread like wildfire, linking her to the deaths of her previous husbands as well.

The first husband reportedly died in Zimbabwe, where she ended up selling all their property and relocating to Malawi.

Her second husband, Brigadier Manda, also met a similar fate, succumbing to what people believed to be HIV-AIDS complications shortly after her visit.

She then sold their house in Area 47 and bought or built a new one in Area 12 under her name.

Her third husband, Mr. Mtchungula, an airline captain, passed away only four months into their marriage, further adding to the suspicions surrounding her.

Her fourth husband, a certain colored old man, also mysteriously died, leaving a trail of death and deceit in her wake.

It was not until the maid of the late Professor Mumba came forward with crucial information that the truth began to unravel.

Without her testimony, the Black Widow may have succeeded in her deadly mission to inherit her husbands’ wealth and estate.

The court proceedings revealed a chilling pattern of events leading up to Professor Mumba’s death, painting a picture of a dangerous and calculating woman who would stop at nothing to satisfy her insatiable greed.

The evidence stacked against her was overwhelming, leaving no room for doubt about her guilt.

Finally, justice was served as she was convicted and sentenced for her heinous crimes.

The community breathed a collective sigh of relief, knowing that she would no longer be able to prey on unsuspecting victims and exploit their wealth for her own gain.

The story of the late Professor Mumba’s mysterious death serves as a cautionary tale of the dangers of greed and manipulation.

It is a stark reminder that evil can manifest itself in the most unexpected places, leaving behind a trail of destruction and despair.

As the town of Lilongwe grapples with the aftermath of this harrowing ordeal, one thing remains clear: the Black Widow’s reign of terror has come to an end, but the scars she has left behind will forever serve as a haunting reminder of the darkness that lurks within human hearts.

Suleman criticizes Govt’s lack of planning amid looming hunger crisis

By Burnett Munthali

Chair of Malawi’s Parliamentary Committee on Agriculture Sameer Suleman, has sharply criticized the Tonse Alliance government for failing to take proactive measures to prevent an impending hunger crisis.

Suleman’s remarks come amid rising concerns over food insecurity in the country, exacerbated by factors such as erratic weather patterns and soaring fertilizer prices.

Suleman emphasizes that despite previous warnings, the government has not adequately prepared for the agricultural challenges that Malawi faces.

He notes that the rising cost of fertilizers and other agricultural inputs has severely impacted farmers’ ability to produce sufficient food, which could lead to significant shortages in the coming months.

Suleman stresses that the government’s failure to anticipate and mitigate these issues could result in widespread hunger and economic instability.

Suleman

Suleman has a history of vocal advocacy regarding agricultural issues.

He recently exposed a significant scandal involving the Affordable Input Program (AIP), where MK30 billion meant for fertilizer procurement was misappropriated, leaving the Ministry of Agriculture without the necessary supplies.

This scandal, Suleman argues, is a clear indication of systemic problems within the government’s handling of agricultural resources.

To address the looming hunger crisis, Suleman suggests several immediate actions.

First, he advocates for a temporary ban on maize exports to ensure that local needs are met before surplus grains are sold abroad.

This measure aims to stabilize domestic food supplies and prices.

Second, he calls for increased transparency and accountability in the management of agricultural programs to prevent corruption and misallocation of resources.

Moreover, Suleman urges the government to expedite the implementation of the Fertilizer Bill, which aims to regulate the fertilizer industry more effectively and support smallholder farmers.

He believes that with proper legislative backing and oversight, Malawi can overcome the current challenges and build a more resilient agricultural sector.

The Parliamentary Committee on Agriculture, under Suleman’s leadership, continues to press for these reforms, hoping to avert a severe food crisis and ensure sustainable agricultural development in Malawi.
