Institute of Marketing in Malawi has described the late Saulos Chilima as a seasoned marketer who continued supporting the industry’s growth even though he had assumed a non-marketing position as the country’s Vice President.
President of the Institute of Marketing in Malawi Isabel Masi Kachinjika says late Chilima made sure he associated with fellow marketers and at the same time inspiring practitioners.
She adds that in his practising days, Chilima helped strengthen the marketing sector through his visionary leadership.
And one-time workmate and friend of late Chilima, Enwell Kadango, describes Dr Chilima as a harder worker who related well with other workmates.
According to Kadango, the death of Chilima is painful to the marketing fraternity considering the skills he had.
Dr. Chilima, a marketer by profession, worked for several prominent private companies in Malawi.
