BLANTYRE-(MaraviPost)-Malawi’s former President Peter Mutharika on Thursday, April 20, 2021 presented his early Eid al-Fitr gifts to some Muslim Communities in Mangochi.
Mutharika who is also opposition Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) leader donated food items to Muslims around Nkali Village Mosque, some few kilometers from his PAGE house.
