Upon his arrival, President Chakwera went straight into Nkhoma CCAP Mission Church to pay his last respects to the late Rev. Mgawi where his body lay in state.

In his eulogy, Family Representative Dr. Heatherwick Ntaba described Rev. Mgawi as a pillar who kept the family together.

“Today instead of crying, we have agreed to celebrate his life because he was a special gift to our family. He was a very extra ordinary gentleman,” he said.

The late Mgawi’s daughter Professor Address Malata said her she adored her father who was also a great worshipper.

“He was God loving. He loved everyone. He was a giver. He encouraged us to attain higher education. He invited all of us his siblings last year and blessed each one of us,” she explained.

Reverend Mgawi 93 was a devoted Gospel preacher for close to 70 years who ended his illustrious public life as Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) Commissioner.

Reverend Mgawi was among the founding members of Evangelical Association of Malawi as well as Students Christian Organization of Malawi (SCOM).
