Leader of the Liberation for Economic Freedom (LEF) Party Prophet Dr. David Mbewe on Monday donated livestock to Moslems at Nselema in Machinga.
According to Prophet Dr. Mbewe, he decided to donate the livestock as part of Eid-El-Fitr celebrations in the coming days.
“I want to commend all the Muslims for fasting during the Holy month of Ramadan. Today am donating this livestock to be used during Eid-El-Fitr celebrations,” said Prophet Mbewe
Ministry of local government said Eid Ul Fitr Prayers will be held on either Wednesday, April 10, or Thursday, April 11, this year, depending on the sighting of the new moon, marking the end of the holy month of Ramadan.
In a statement Principal Secretary for the Ministry, Esmie Kainja, emphasized that the announcement of the actual sighting of the new moon will be made by the Muslim Association of Malawi.
Switching to politics Prophet Dr. Mbewe, who is one of the presidential aspirants for the next year’s polls, called upon Malawians to stand firm as they await the ouster of the current Tonse leadership.
In January this year, Prophet Mbewe announced that he will run for presidency in 2025 when Malawi heads to the ballot.
Mbewe told local press that said he is contesting at the back of the support from the youth, women and children who have been let down by the Chakwera’s led regime.
“People are worried out here of the continued high cost of living, maladministration of government affairs and these situations have prompted him to bring the change people desire,” said Prophet Mbewe as quoted by Pan African News.
On the ballot, Prophet Mbewe is expected to face Chakwera, Peter Mutharika of Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) and Saulos Chilima of UTM party.
Malawians will head the polls in September 2025, the first time in that month following a direction by the Supreme Court, which also changed the threshold of winning to 50+1.
