The billboard was removed by Blantyre City Council (BCC) and later restored with altered message that sparked anger among Muslims in the country.

Briefing the media jointly organised by MAM, PAC and Evangelical Association of Malawi (EAM) yesterday ,MAM Spokesperson Sheikh Dinala Chabulika said they are happy with how the billboard issue has been handled.

“We are happy that the matter has been resolved amicably. We thank EAM that they have withdrawn some words which was in the letter addressed to CEO of Blantyre City Council, the words were that ‘Malawi is a predominantly Christian state,’

“The message on the billboard was not meant to undermine any Religion, we have come here to enhance peace and co-existence that’s why you will see the billboard has been revised,” Chabulika said.

The MAM Spokesperson has also hailed Muslims in the country for maintaining peace.

“We also thank the Muslim members for observing peace,”

In a statement from EAM signed by its Secretary general Reverend Francis Mkandawire and Chairperson Reverend Dr Chatha Msangambe, some words used in the letter addressed to BCC were not correct.

A statement also talked about religious coexistence and Mutual respect for each other’s faith and values.

“We have noted that certain words and expression namely ‘Malawi is a predominantly Christian’ and ‘Christian’s will take unspecified actions if the billboard is not removed within 7 days” in our letter addressed to chief Executive officer of Blantyre City Council have become so divisive,”
