في 10 يونيو 2024، اختفت طائرة تقل نائب الرئيس تشيليما وتسعة ركاب آخرين في محمية غابات تشيكانگوا في منطقة مزيمبا عندما أقلعت من العاصمة الملاوية يلونگوي، واختفت عن الرادار ولم تهبط في وجهتها المزمعة في مطار مزوزو. لم تتمكن الطائرة من الهبوط في المطار بسبب ضعف الرؤية وأمرت بالعودة إلى ليلونگوي لكنها فشلت في الوصول.[2] في 11 يونيو 2024 أُعلنت وفاة تشيليما بعد العثور على حطام الطائرة.[3]

السنوات المبكرة والتعليم

Born on 12 February 1973 in Ntcheu, Malawi.[4] He was the first child of Henderson Brown Chilima of Ching’anga Village, T/A Njewa, Lilongwe and Elizabeth Frances Chilima of Mbilintengerenji Village, T/A Champiti, Ntcheu. Chilima spent most of his early life in Blantyre where his parents were working and spent his summer holidays with his paternal and maternal grandparents in Lilongwe and Ntcheu, respectively.[5]

Chilima did his primary school at HHI and Dharap primary schools, and his secondary education at the Marist Brothers Mtendere Secondary School Thiwi in the Dedza District.[6] He went on to the University of Malawi, Chancellor College, where he graduated with a degree in social sciences in 1994. After working for a few years, he returned to his alma mater to pursue a master's degree in Knowledge Management, graduating in 2006. On 10 August 2015, Chilima received his Ph.D in Knowledge Management from the University of Bolton in the United Kingdom.[7]


حياته المهنية

A marketer by profession, Chilima started his work career at Lever Brothers (Mw) Limited (now Unilever) before moving on to the Leasing and Finance Company of Malawi, and later Southern Bottlers Limited (now Castel Malawi).[8][9] His last professional assignment was at Airtel Malawi where he was hired to lead its sales team before being named the first-ever local managing director for the company in 2010.[8]

Chilima's most notable professional career successes include spearheading the strategic and breakthrough projects at Airtel, namely Project Precision, Yabooka, Airtel Money, and a 3G network upgrade, which resulted in significant impacts on the business revenue and employee engagement, growing Airtel Malawi's annual revenue by 75% over a period of three years from $54 million in 2010 to $95 million in 2013.[10]

مسيرته السياسية

In February 2014, Chilima was the running mate of Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) presidential candidate Peter Mutharika for the May 2014 presidential election.[11]

Chilima later left the DPP and launched his own party, the United Transformation Movement (UTM), on 21 July 2018 to contest the May 2019 elections.[12][13] On 1 February 2019, the UTM held meetings with two other political parties and an alliance of smaller political parties aimed at forming a united opposition. These included the Alliance for Democracy (Aford), former President Joyce Banda's People's Party, and the Tikonze People's Movement led by former Vice-President Cassim Chilumpha. They agreed to field one presidential candidate for the election. Both Banda and Chilumpha later withdrew from the alliance citing "disagreement with the selection of a presidential running mate for the candidate of the upcoming election" as their reason.[14]

In the election, Chilima alongside Michael Usi as a running mate came third with 20.24% of the popular vote and the UTM won four seats in the National Assembly. However, the presidential election was annulled and rerun in 2020. In that year, Chilima contested the race as Lazarus Chakwera's running mate for the Malawi Congress Party, in the Tonse alliance which brought up to nine opposition political parties with hopes to topple the administration of Peter Mutharika.[15]

On 22 June 2022, Chilima was stripped of his delegated powers as a vice-president due to his involvement in a $150 million corruption scandal[16] involving alleged influencing in the awarding of government contracts.[17]

In November 2022, he was changed on allegations that he received $280, 000 from a British businessman Zuneth Sattar in exchange for awarding government contracts to Xaviar Ltd and Malachitte FZE, two companies linked to Sattar. He pleaded not guilty to the corruption charges.[18] In May 2024 the corruption charges were dropped after the state prosecutor filed a motion to dismiss the case. President Chakwera had started to assign official duties to Chilima even before the charges were dropped.[19]

الناشطية

Previously, Chilima also served as minister for disaster relief and public events.[20]

Chilima was a member of the Leadership Council of Compact 2025, a partnership that develops and disseminates evidence-based advice to politicians and other decision-makers aimed at ending hunger and undernutrition by 2025,[21] and wrote on the topic of malnutrition.[22] He spoke on sustainable and inclusive development[23] and at international conferences on ending hunger.[24]

Chilima voiced his advocacy of environmentalism[25] and of physical fitness[26] and sports participation,[27] a stern critic of corruption in politics,[28][29][30] and an active supporter of Archdiocesan seminaries.[31] As a student led the students’ wing of Alliance for Democracy (Aford), founded by Chakufwa Chihana for championing multi-party democracy.[8]

حياته الشخصية

A devout Roman Catholic, Chilima was married to Mary (née Chibambo). They had two children, Sean and Elizabeth.[32]
