Education, Science and Technology Minister Bright Msaka SC on Sunday led this year’s Remembrance Day commemorations in Zomba, where he represented President Arthur Peter Mutharika at the war memorial service.
Msaka laid a wreath on behalf of the President at the Zomba War Memorial Tower, joining hundreds of people who gathered to honour soldiers who died while serving in the First and Second World Wars and other conflicts.
The minister arrived at the memorial on Sunday, November 8, 2026, where he was welcomed by senior officers of the Malawi Defence Force, the Malawi Police Service, government officials and other dignitaries.
Dressed in a black suit with a red poppy on his lapel, Msaka later bowed and placed a wreath of red poppies at the foot of the memorial tower in honour of those who lost their lives in the wars.
The ceremony attracted war veterans, families of fallen soldiers and members of the public. It also featured prayers, a moment of silence and wreath-laying by other dignitaries.
Remembrance Day is observed annually to honour men and women who died during the wars and recognise their sacrifice in the pursuit of peace and freedom.
