A recent song that has been done by Mary Chilima a spouse to United Transformation Movement (UTM) leader Saulos Chilima has received different critisisms on social media.
Mary Chilima is seen in her recent music video rapping campaign for her husband in the forthcoming elections.
Social media commentators have said that Mary Chilima’s song has shown that the second lady lacks seriousness.
Ben Chiza Mkandawire writes; “Seeing Mary Chilima rapping shows you the juvenile delinquency that is awaiting us if her husband stood a chance to win the state house.”
He further added that with how Malawi is struggling it needs a serious woman who can pose as the first lady.
“Malawi is dealing with complex issues right now we need serious women as first ladies. That song can only impress a dumbed down Malawians,” writes Mkandawire.
Yankho Freeman Somanje said the song cannot be compared with other campaign songs.
“The moment I saw it, I quickly went to the few campaign songs I could remember like UDF’s yellow or DPP’s a Bingu senderani and UTM’s Akumva kupweteka plus a few others and I was left with one question, but WHY?” commented Yankho Freeman Somanje.
However UTM comrades are backing up their hopeful first lady to be saying she has done a great job.
James Ronwel Ronnel Chikanga commented; “The song so dope”
The song is a direct response to a hip hop artist Noel Chikoleka also known as Physics in the music cycle called Mutipatsa? [Are you going to provide?]
In his song Physics is asking politicians who are vying for different positions in the forthcoming elections if they are going to provide what Malawians needs.
In her response through the song Mary Chilima is saying Tikupatsa [We will provide].
