"It's sad to see our country going bare, we need to be environmental friendly people by among other things making tree planting exercises as a habit," said Mhango who received a warm welcome by locals in Bwaila.
According to Tiwonge, his coming to Malawi makes him appreciate the roots of his life adding that he would love to establish a Tiwonge Mhango Foundation in the near future.
Among other things, the community of Bwaila gave Tiwonge a treat of traditional dances like Gulewankulu.
"There's more happiness in giving than in receiving. I want to share with others and perhaps make their lives better. I would like to make life full of meaning, purpose and impact to others," he explained.
The singer-cum-business person has expressed interest to promote Malawi music and he has since cut a single 'Mbuye' with charismatic rappper Young Kay and is available for download on www.malawi-music.com
