Poet Robert Chiwamba Pays Tribute to Bingu In ‘Mbiri Safuta’

By Blessings Kaunda

Mbiri Safuta- Chiwamba

Mzuzu, April 29, Mana: Poet Robert Chiwamba has released spoken word poem “Mbiri safuta” a tribute to late State President Prof. Bingu wa Mutharika.

In an interview on Thursday in Mzuzu, he said he released the poem because of the good work the late President did to the country during his era.

The Poet recites that no one can erase what Mutharika did for the country during his tenure including farm input subsidy programme which ended hunger in his first year of office.

“You cannot erase history of our late President Bingu wa Mutharika. Even if you close your eyes you will still see his vision and what he did for the country.

“Even outside this country people have respect for Ngwazi Prof Bingu wa Mutharika. He was a great man,” Chiwamba narrates.

He said among other important things the former late President Mutharika constructed Malawi University of Science and Technology (MUST), Chitipa Karonga road new Parliament Building among other thing.

Chiwamba praises Mutharika for Nkhotakota and Nkhata Bay District Hospitals which among others have improved maternal health.

He salutes Bingu for strongly denying homosexuality and taking vendors out of streets to designated markets.

However the poem on the other hand quashes unworthy conducts in Bingu’s era such as abuse of youth called cadets, who threatened citizens with panga knives.

The Poet concludes that every person born from a human being has his own weaknesses likewise the late President has his very own weaknesses.

  1. I salute this young man , indeed Mbiri safuta Bingu was the man of vision. It is my wish that we have presidents of the same caliber to develop our country further. Otsati za cashgate, maizegate and covidgate takhala tikudutsamodzi, mmmm mbiri safutadi

  2. The term weakness is subjective and it is judgemental. Since we human beings were blssed with massive brains and are the super intelligent machines, and we see things differently, we can conclude any action differently as well. What i can see and conclude is that others are at liberty to yield pangas and get equiped with heavy stones that can clash the police officer’s head without being questioned nor summoned by the law. Like wise others are at liberty to squander all the money, in billions, allocated to the birth of girls elton school in lilongwe through bogus allowances and no one has guts to question them because of the blood link to the most feared woman on the land. We witnessed blood thirsty youth from other parties tormenting others and when the tormented tries to react after being cornered we call them heartless and very violent. When they stay put without hitting back we begin celebrating our evil actions on them as if dealing with a snake. This is inhuman. They too are humans and they can react when cornered and hardly have no escape route. Let us learn to respect other basing on feelings on human point of view.
