President Chakwera said he decided to host and treat his former headmaster to lunch as a way of appreciating the great role the retired civil servant had played in his [Chakwera] education.
Of course, this is not the first time for the President to invite elderly persons to the State House. Last year, President Chakwera also hosted legendary musician Giddes Chalamanda.
The Malawi leader has always advocated for the respect for old people, stressing that they are the fountain of knowledge and wisdom.
