Condolence messages continue to trickle in with the latest being from United Democratic Front (UDF) spokesperson Ken Ndanga.

Ndanga said the country has lost a talented man who made Malawians laugh at all times.“It was simply a comedy but the message was artistically packaged in a no holds barred. Strong it was and at the same time revealing of great talent one can hardly find on the local scene.

“The high profile audience which included state president Prof.Peter Mutharika cabinet ministers and diplomats, laughed and laughed up to the end as he poured a joke after another,” he wrote.

He added: “That was John Nyanga alias Izeki at his best as he performed along side Eric Mabedi, aka Jakobo at the launch of Public Reforms at the Bingu International Conference Centre.”

“Watching the video clip months after the live performance, I found myself in tears of laughter.”

The message is still fresh and as relevant as it was on the day when he gave that grand performance that gave public servants some ” cash talk”.
