LILONGWE-(MaraviPost)-Malawi’s political circles are abuzz with discussions surrounding Norman Chisale, the man who seems to wear not one, not two, but three powerful hats.
Recently appointed as the Deputy Minister of Homeland Security, Chisale also serves as a Member of Parliament and continues to hold his long-standing role as the senior bodyguard to former President Arthur Peter Mutharika.
His unique combination of duties has earned him the nickname “the triple star” among political observers and the public alike.
Many Malawians are curious and even skeptical about how Chisale manages to balance these demanding responsibilities that span the security and political spheres.
During the official opening of the 52nd Session of Parliament in Lilongwe, Chisale once again caught national attention when he appeared performing dual roles standing as both a legislator and the president’s close protection officer.
His simultaneous presence in both capacities highlighted his distinctive position within Malawi’s governance landscape.
Political analysts say Chisale’s rise demonstrates both loyalty and political resilience.
Having served in the Malawi Defense Force before becoming Mutharika’s trusted aide, Chisale has built a career grounded in discipline and proximity to power.
Now, as Deputy Minister of Homeland Security, his new responsibilities include overseeing national security matters, immigration, and internal affairs roles that require both political tact and operational expertise.
However, his multiple roles have sparked debate on ethics and governance
Critics argue that holding overlapping positions could blur professional boundaries and create potential conflicts of interest, while supporters view it as a testament to Chisale’s competence and dedication to national service.
For now, Chisale remains unfazed by public scrutiny.
His message to Malawians has been consistent: commitment to duty, loyalty to leadership, and service to the nation.
Whether he can continue to excel in his three demanding roles remains to be seen but one thing is certain, Norman Chisale has firmly established himself as one of Malawi’s most intriguing political figures.
Recently, Chisale has found himself entangled in a series of legal battles with the outgoing Malawi Congress Party (MCP)–led government.
Over the past few years, he has been pushed back and forth through the country’s court system, facing multiple charges ranging from alleged abuse of office to financial misconduct.
The legal turbulence resulted in several of his personal and business accounts being frozen, a move that drew widespread attention from both his supporters and critics.
Chisale, however, has consistently maintained his innocence, describing the cases as politically motivated attempts to tarnish his image and silence him for his perceived loyalty to the former president, Arthur Peter Mutharika.
