Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>Blantyre-based Malawi artist Guntolah has released an emotional tribute called Letter to Waly for his close friend Walycris Wanyengo of the Achalume fame.

\u201cIt\u2019s been so long msanapange (before I) reply\/ zimandigwesa mphwayi (I didn\u2019t have the energy)\/ pena mkumati ayi (Sometimes I don\u2019t accept)\/ I still can\u2019t believe wandililisa amayi (you`ve made me cry)\u201d he raps.<\/p>\n

The asakunamize star has also bemoaned the tendency of some people who only show love to the dead. Furthermore, he has shared the moments they shared and hard times which Waly, real name Wyson Laifoh went through when he was living.<\/p>\n

In the video for Letter to Waly, Guntolah is seen sitting while holding a pen and paper, with pictures of the late Wyson pegged all over the room, to depict an emotional mood. Walycris died aged 25 on 23 December last year after a bus he boarded on his way from South Africa was hit by a truck.<\/p>\n
