Saunders Juma of Muvi wa Chilungamo has apologized for spreading false rumors of President Peter Mutharika’s alleged death.

Last week social media platforms were awash with reports regarding the health and well-being of Mutharika following his absence from the public.

Juma, in his daily episodes of Muvi wa Chilungamo announced that Mutharika had died and officials from the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) are hiding the news from the public for their own interests.

In the audio Juma advised DPP officials to come out and inform the citizenry  the sad news while on the other hand Congratulating incumbent Vice President Saulos Chilima on his alleged promotion into the top office.

In a place statement made available to Face of Malawi, Juma said he felt that something “was terribly wrong to see the silence of state house when Malawi needed its president at the most hectic and perilous time,”

Contrary to what he said in the circulated audio, Juma said people misunderstood  as he cannot wish president death saying he was praying that whatsoever was holding Mutharika at Statehouse must be removed.

“We cannot and did not wish the death of the president or anybody we differ with”
