Mzuzu MaraviPost: Malawians across the country have expressed hope that 2021 will be a year of good fortunes unlike 2020 which was replete with a number of hardships such as Covid-19.
Speaking to Maravi Post last night some hopefuls of the year, who expected it while attending to crossover prayer services said they are praying to God Almighty to protect and shower them with blessings in the new year.
“I am feeling very well this night as we are expecting to enter new year, 2021. I pray to God that this year should be a year of blessings since 2020 was a troublesome year in terms of Covid-19 and other political disturbances,” said one of the hopefuls in Lilongwe.
Another 2021 optimist shared similar sentiments by particularly appealing to the current government to walk the talk in terms of combating the social challenges facing Malawians.
“In 2021, we expect incredibly positive developments that will give hope to Malawians. We expect Chakwera and Chilima to bring development to Malawians because in 2020, most of us lost hope because of many social challenges such as the Covid-19, cases of rape and defilement and many mental health problems,” ranted the Mzuzu based 2021 hopeful.
Meanwhile, President Lazarus Chakwera has sent a message of hope to Malawians in the new year. The Malawi leader has admitted that the year 2020 was fiddled with so many challenges but has urged Malawians to be diligent in the coming year and provide solutions to numerous challenges.
On his part, former Malawi leader, Arthur Peter Mutharika, has wished all Malawians and the current government a successful new year, 2021. In a statement, Mutharika too, has described the 2020 as a hard year but that God’s grace was sufficient enough to save Malawians.
