In a statement, the Diaspora of Malawi in South Korea said: “We express our deepest condolences on the loss of the Vice President…We painfully join the country in thoughts and prayers as we mourn a true son of the land who had everything good to offer his country.”

The group remembered Chilima’s “honesty, openness and ability to synthesize critical issues” during a “progressive and productive” meeting with the diaspora community.

Chilima will be laid to rest today in Ntcheu district in a ceremony attended by dignitaries from across the country.
