Veteran politician who has served the nation as cabinet minister, Reserve Bank of Malawi Governor and in various parastatal boards John Tembo has been hospitalized at one of the health facilities in the capital city, Lilongwe.

According to his son John Junior, his 91-year-old father is unwell suffering from pneumonia, malaria, and a long battle with a wound on his foot due to diabetes complications.

Tembo Junior has since requested Malawians of Goodwill to assist in committing his father to prayers.
