With K10m price tag, Namadingo turns tears into cheers

Patience Namadingo proved wrong those who had mocked his K10 million charge for a single event yesterday. He delivered an A-game performance during the Saulos Klaus Chilima Foundation launch at BICC in Lilongwe, which brought tears to Chilima’s wife with his soulful song and chocolate-like voice. The event featured musical performances from various artists, including Driemo. However, Namadingo’s performance resonated deeply with a large audience, particularly with Mary Chilima, the widow of the late Vice President Saulos Chilima. With a strong start, Namadingo performed ‘Tikamadzapita’ acoustically, backed by two guitarists and a keyboardist who handled backing vocals. He creatively added freestyles to the lyrics about Chilima’s unexpected death, causing his wife to shed tears.
