Actor Nginde Appeals for Financial Support as He Battles Throat Cancer

Popular Malawian actor Frank Yalu, popularly known by his stage name Nginde, has appealed for financial assistance as he continues to battle throat cancer.

Yalu was diagnosed with the disease last year, a development that forced him to stop acting, which had been one of the main sources of income for his family.

Speaking on his behalf, his wife, Joyce Yalu, said the family is facing significant financial challenges as both of them have been unable to work due to his illness.

She explained that Yalu is currently receiving chemotherapy treatment at Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital and requires regular visits to the hospital for continued medical care.

Joyce has since appealed to well-wishers to assist the family with financial support to help cover transport and other treatment-related expenses.

“We would be grateful for any assistance that can help him continue receiving treatment and eventually recover,” she said.

Despite his health struggles, Yalu has remained committed to the arts and has recently been appearing in the Times TV drama series Mfumukazi, where he plays the character Achitsime. The series was written by Flora Suya.

The actor expressed hope that with treatment and support from well-wishers, he will regain his health and return to entertaining Malawians through his acting career.

Well-wishers wishing to support the family can contact them on:

• 0982 810 198
• 0995 775 450

The appeal has already begun attracting sympathy from fans and fellow artists, many of whom have praised Yalu for his contribution to Malawi’s film and television industry over the years.
