Malawians living in South Africa will gather on Monday, June 17th, 2024, to pay their respects to the late Vice-President Saulos Chilima and eight others.

The candlelight vigil will take place at 9 Sherry Road Hall, Salt River, Cape Town, following a change in venue due to an overwhelming response, according to event coordinator Bruno Kufeyani.

Kufeyani said the event aims to provide a platform for Malawians in South Africa to bid farewell to their iconic leader.

The event will feature speeches, powerful messages from the late Chilima, and a candlelight vigil.

Attendees are requested to wear black, bring a candle and matches, and those with Malawi flags are encouraged to bring them along.

Meanwhile, back in Malawi, candlelight ceremonies were held in Lilongwe, Blantyre, and Zomba on Sunday.

Vice-President Chilima will be laid to rest on Monday.
