Peter Mutharika personal bodyguard Norman Paulos Chisale is not above the Law

By Linda Kwanjana

Social media is currently awash of campaign materials belonging to the former Peter Mutharika’s personal body guard Paulos Norman Chisale ahead of the 2025 campaign.

Chisale is eying for Ntcheu Central Constituency parliamentary seat.

What is surprising people and commentators on social media is that Chisale is busy with the campaign and yet he is answering multiple charges hanging on his head.



For starters on June 14, 2020, Police arrested Mutharika’s bodyguard, for allegedly helping him avoid nearly $7 million in import duties though Mutharika denied knowledge of the scheme, which saw cement for construction of his private property imported duty free.

Norman Chisale is one among several people whom police arrested for alleged involvement in the cement importation deal.

In the same year, police arrested the former deputy commissioner general of the Malawi Revenue Authority (MRA), Roza Mbilizi, for facilitating the importation of the duty-free cement.

Records show that MRA gave Mutharika the clearance to make the duty-free cement importations in three tranches, with each consignment valued at $2.24 million.

A businessman implicated in the deal, Ahmed Chunara, told police that the imports were initiated by State House officials with Chisale on the central stage.

As that is not enough Chisale is also implicated in several cases including being found with suspicious and unexplain property. After being found with 84 vehicles.

Such kind of a person is supposed to clear himself first before standing in on any public office.

This is time Chisale needs to dedicate all his time and resources in fighting for his clearance.

By Chisomo Phiri

A fast-rising gospel singer Gloria Macheka will tomorrow May 19,2023 drop her another gospel song titled’ Chikondi Cha Yesu’.

“My new song is dedicated to spreading the message of love that Jesus Christ has on us his people.

“There is no true love besides the love of Jesus. The Jesus love surpasses all.



“The world is full of fake love. You can have friends or family whom you think are true, but they dessert you in difficult times. Only the love of Jesus is unconditional,” explained Macheka.

She said the song has been produced at one of the Blantyre’s best music studios Don Foxxy records in Chirimba.

Asked on what her fans should expect this year, the female gospel singer said: ” There are a lot of good music projects this year. Currently, I am about to shoot two more videos, one in July and the other one in October. So, yes, they should expect more good things from me as their beloved female artist.”

She then urged her fellow gospel musicians in the country to obey God and always be humble in whatsoever they are doing.

“To my fellow gospel singers, let us always be truthful before the Lord and be humble,” she urged.

Macheka started composing and singing her own gospel songs back away when she was in Sunday School.

She is inspired by Minister Victoria Orenze from Nigeria and Jerkalyn carr from United States of America ( USA).
