Paramount Chief Kyungu of Karonga and Chitipa has called on Malawians to peacefully mourn the late Vice President Saulos Klaus Chilima and eight others who died in a plane crash.
Kyungu, who is also Commissioner for the Malawi Peace and Unity Commission, was speaking on Monday in Karonga District during the opening of a two-day training on conflict prevention and peace building, organised by the Ministry of Local Government Unity and Culture.
“Late Chilima was a leader who loved peace and the best way to honour him and the others who died in that plane crash is to preach peace. I would like to advise Malawians especially youths to desist from violent acts which may lead to unnecessary loss of lives, “said Kyungu.
The training has brought together chiefs, religious leaders, Civil Society Organisations, youth and political party representatives.
