Arguably Chilima is the second most popular politician in Malawi’s history other than Bakili Muluzi. Unlike Chilima’s cosmetic popularity, Muluzi commanded deep love and admiration from every Malawian from Chitipa to Nsanje.
Chilima however has managed to convince a measurable section of Malawians that he’s Malawi’s Savior let alone much awaited Jesus, second coming.
He commands a committed cult-like following. It’s almost impossible to convince this section of followers that he isn’t Malawi’s Jesus and that they’re being duped. Their blinds are on tightly sealed to see what’s truly is the reality outside.
