One of the aspiring Presidential candidates for the opposition Democratic Progress Party (DPP) Dalitso Kabambe has expressed shock over the death of former first lady Anne Muluzi.

Anne died on cancer last night in Kenya where she was receiving treatment.

Writing on his official facebook page, Kabambe, former governor for Reserve Bank of Malawi (RBM) said madam Muluzi had the welfare of Malawians at heart.

“I am truly saddened to hear of the loss of Madame Anne Muluzi, former First Lady of Malawi.

“Words may not suffice to express the heartfelt sorrow that we feel following her passing, since Madame Muluzi was not only a mother to many but a great person to the nation who dedicated most part of her life serving others,” wrote Kabambe.

He added: “Our thoughts and prayers are with the Muluzi family during this difficult time.

“Madame Muluzi will live on in our memories forever.”
