Former President Arthur Peter Mutharika has concluded a series of important meetings during his recent visit to South Africa.
According to close sources, the trip was marked by high-level engagements with key stakeholders, including business leaders, political figures, and members of the Malawian diaspora.
The meetings focused on a range of issues, including investment opportunities, regional cooperation, and the political and economic future of Malawi.
Mutharika is said to have used the opportunity to reconnect with long-standing allies and strengthen strategic partnerships that could benefit the country.
The visit also served as a platform for private consultations on matters of national interest, though details remain confidential.
Reports indicate that the former president received a warm welcome from Malawians living in South Africa, many of whom expressed their continued support for his leadership.
As his engagements come to an end, Mutharika is expected to travel back to Malawi soon.
His return is anticipated to spark renewed political interest, particularly among Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) supporters.
With the 2025 elections approaching, speculation is likely to intensify around his role and future intentions within the party.
Observers note that Mutharika’s recent activities suggest a reawakening of his political presence at a critical moment for the opposition.
The nation now waits to see what impact his return will have on Malawi’s political dynamics in the months ahead.
