MCC says it acknowledges the efforts that government has put forward to engage in meaningful dialogue with Tanzania over the recent Lake Malawi border issue.

“However, the Council stands to believe that the general understanding of all Malawians is that Lake Malawi entirely belongs to Malawi and that the Church and all Malawians will do anything possible to ensure that the Lake remains Malawi’s.

“As the Church, we continue to offer moral and spiritual support to the Malawi leadership to safeguard the sovereignty, interests, and integrity of the nation. We call upon our member churches to offer prayer and form prayer groups at different levels to pray for a peaceful end to this matter”.
