BLANTYRE-(MaraviPost)-Months before former Vice President, Saulos Klaus Chilima, died in a plane crash, his close aide and UTM Secretary General, Patricia Kaliati, was busy running dark-world errands in Nigeria collecting charms meant to first clear him from a corruption case and later kill President Lazarus Chakwera.

We establish that the UTM SG was tasked by Chilima to fetch charms in Nigeria for different purposes between March and June this year.

The man they visited is known as God Papa, a spiritualist who possesses powers to change fortunes of people.

Kaliati was accompanied by Chilima’s concubine only identified as Angella by Police sources.

The two first went to Nigeria first to negotiate and collect charms that would help Chilima come out clean in a corruption case he was entangled in.

By that time Chilima was answering five corruption charges linking him to British citizen, Zuneth Sattar.

True to their expectation, Chilima’s case collapsed as it was discontinued by the Director of Public Prosecutions on May 6.

The errand ladies then undertook a second trip, this time around to have the Vice President integrated back into government business by having his delegated powers restored.

This too came to pass and Chilima was back in office and undertook local and few foreign trips to Tanzania and South Korea among others.

Temptations to continue using the charms for more intentions, evil ones inclusive, forced Kaliati agree with Chilima for a third errand.

Let’s go back to Nigeria to cook the death of the State President.

For a party leader desperate for state power, a politician with an eye for big post in the ‘new’ government and a girlfriend smelling more easy money, everything made sense from word go.

Within few weeks the two flew to Nigeria again from where they brought back the dark cocktail.

What made this trip different was that the services were not paid in full.

An agreement was reached that the remaining payment would be sorted out later on.

The new concoction also had another tricky element. Chilima was supposed to have a face to face interaction with President Chakwera.

The covenant from the Nigerian magician had to involve physical touch in form of handshakes for it to be effective.

Chilima is said to have planned the meeting for soon after his return from Seoul, South Korea where he represented his boss.

The death of lawyer Ralph Kasambara twisted the plot somewhat and the meeting with the President, under the pretext of briefing him on the Korea trip, was postponed.

The Monday on which Chilima died in a plane crash was the same that had initially been planned for him to meet President Chakwera before the latter departed for the Ukraine Peace Summit in Switzerland.

At last minute the Vice President saw it necessary to first rush to Nkhatabay to bury his long-time friend and return to Lilongwe in time for a send-off of his boss at Kamuzu International Airport.

The Payment Debacle
In between Chilima’s foreign trips and his death, the issue of payment was still hanging in the balance.

The God Papa was pushing for his payment from Angella and Kaliati.

The two however were finding it hard to remind Chilima as he was still tied up with office work.

Angella, from the message this publication has seen, kept calming the God Papa with assurances of payment at the earliest opportunity they were to speak with Chilima.

The girlfriend paid some of her money but hinted that the rest was going to be squared later.

The Nigerian man, however, had conditions set. In the absence of full payment Chilima was not supposed to travel as doing so would place him in the dark realms for misfortune.

It is not surprising that on June 10, when the MDF aircraft was reported missing, Angella texted Kaliati at 11:47am with a brief message reading

“Now you see, the plane carrying SKC is missing. You were supposed to listen to me when I told you to alert him not to travel”

Kaliati saw but ignored the message probably because she was busy collecting a brave face to offer direction to party supporters.

What broke the camel’s back
In the aftermath of Chilima’s death, the balance was still hanging two-fold, one between them and the Nigerian magician and two between Angella and Kaliati. The young lady wanted the money she paid from her pocket back.

Feeling bothered by an issue that seemed dead and buried just like the former Vice President, Kaliati approached some close contacts from Malawi Police Service.

They indeed reacted quickly and wanted to pick Angella only for her to end up revealing everything that had been taking place between March and June.
