The Malawi government through the Ministry of Information, Tourisms and Civic Education has described as unfounded claims by former President Dr. Joyce Banda who said her delayed return into the country are due to serous security concern.

Government has responded to the petition delivered by activist Billy Mayaya and his grouping saying the demonstrators have missed the point.

Chief Technical Advisor in the Ministry of Health and former Parliamentarian and Minister in the reign of United Democratic Front (UDF) Dr. George Nga Ntafu will be laid to rest today 23 October 2015 at Khumbo Farm, Ntonda, in Blantyre along Blantyre-Chikwawa Road.

Church and Society Programme of the Church of Central Africa Presbyterian (CCAP) Synod of Livingstonia has urged civil society organisations in the country to exhaust any misunderstandings with government through dialogue rather than rushing for street protests.
