The Memorial Service of the country’s third republican president Professor Bingu Wa Mutharika is on today in his home district, Thyolo.
Bingu died in April 2012, after succumbing to cardiac arrest, ten years have elapsed since his demise.
Today, his family, has organized a memorial service, celebrating the life of the fallen president at Chingadzi Catholic Parish at Goliati in the district.
The service will be followed by laying of wreaths at Mpumulo wa Bata Mausoleum at Ndata Farm where Bingu was buried.
During his reign, he became famous for overseeing several construction works such as the New Parliament Building, the Bingu National Stadium, the Malawi University of Science and Technology, Chipembere Highway and the Chitipa—Karonga Road.
However, prior to his succumbing to a cardiac arrest, Bingu became ill-reputed for his administration’s crackdown on anti-government demonstrators.
