As condolence messages continue to trickle in over the death of neurologist and retired politician George Nga Ntafu, former President Dr. Bakili Muluzi has also expressed shock over the death of Ntafu.
Nga Ntafu died on Tuesday at Mwaiwathu Private Hospital in Blantyre after sustaining injuries in a road accident along the Chileka Road.
Speaking in an interview with the Press, Muluzi described the death of Ntafe as a great loss to the country.
“I am extremely shocked to learn about the demise of Dr Ntafu. As you will remember, he worked with me and a number of us in the run-up to the multiparty era in the 1990s. We were together in the underground movement.
“George was also my personal doctor. So, it is a shock not only to me but to the entire nation,” said Muluzi.
Ntafu made headlines in 2007 in Parliament when he called Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) MPs ‘Agalu’[Dogs].
He was booted out of Parliament in 2009.
Born on Likoma Island, Ntafu was trained as a neurosurgeon in Germany and returned home in the 1980s and was based at Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital in Blantyre.
