Mrs Msaka died on Friday September 9 in a South African hospital where she was referred to for further treatment.

She was laid to rest at Mitondo village in Machinga, marking the end of her long journey of her life that started on September 22, 1965 in her home village in Mzimba.

"President Mutharika had been sending the First Lady to cheer her up when she was sick in South Africa. The President even asked the High Commissioner in South Africa, Mrs Aggrina Mussa, to render all the assistance she needed," Dausi said

Nyasa Times made several efforts to speak directly with Msaka, but he did not answer calls.
