In a moment of profound sorrow on Sunday 16th June 2024, President Lazarus Chakwera stood before a grieving nation to bid farewell to his trusted vice president, Dr. Saulos Klaus Chilima.

With a visible heavy heart, he eulogized his colleague, deputy and friend, praising his dedication and patriotism to Malawi’s progress.

But amidst the tears and tributes, President Chakwera also acknowledged the lingering questions and doubts surrounding SKC’s tragic passing in a Plane clash in Chikangawa Forest.

With unwavering resolve, he committed himself to uncovering the truth, ensuring that the investigation would be transparent and thorough.

By seeking expertise from beyond Malawi’s borders, he demonstrated his unrelenting pursuit of justice and accountability.

In this darkest of moments, President Chakwera’s leadership shone bright, offering a beacon of hope to a nation in mourning.

As Malawians grapple with the loss of a leader who embodied hope and unity, President Chakwera also urged the nation to honor Chilima’s memory by remaining peaceful and united.

He reminded them that SKC, as he was affectionately known, lived and breathed peace, love, and harmony.

“In the face of adversity, let us not forget the values that SKC stood for,” President Chakwera said. “Let us continue to embrace peace, love, and unity, even in the darkest of times. Let us show the world that we are a nation that will not be shaken by tragedy, but will rise stronger and more united than ever.”

In this time of grief, his leadership has been a rock, a reminder that even in the face of unimaginable loss, the nation will persevere and emerge stronger.
