School pupils and other onlookers stare at the ruins of a Mitsubishi Pajero vehicle belonging to Apostle Madalitso Mbewe, founder of Calvary Family Church (CFC) International and CFC Radio and TV Station in Blantyre. The vehicle caught fire just before lunch hour about 100 metres from the church headquarters in Manja Township in Blantyre. Eyewitnesses said the vehicle was being driven by the apostle’s wife and caught fire barely a minute after starting off. “We heard a loud bang then the whole vehicle was engulfed in black smoke. We could not help because the fire was just too much. Even when two fire brigade vehicles arrived, it was too late for them to salvage the situation,” said an eyewitness only identified as Peter. Apostle Mbewe, who was recovering from the shock at the church and his son Madalitso Junior, who was at the scene, declined to say anything on the accident.—LUCKY MKANDAWIRE, Staff Reporter
