@MissChisomo @joonhai @logosMLW He was keen to introduce me to new colleagues, he always asked about my family, and invited me to his home. By the end of my time there I considered him a friend. So sorry for your loss.

[Robert M. Rouphail @robrouphail]

@MissChisomo @joonhai @logosMLW If I may follow up from Chris’ note: Prof. Kalinga was my advisor while at North Carolina State. For someone of his enormous scholarly importance, he was unfailingly kind, patient, and supportive.

[Logos Open Culture @logosMLW]

We are saddened by the news of the passing of Prof Owen #Kalinga. A great loss to Malawiana scholarship. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family. #Malawi @MissChisomo

[Robert M. Rouphail @robrouphail]

A tremendous loss. Professor Kalinga was a towering scholar, a mentor, and a friend. I will miss him very much.

[Onjezani Kenani @onjezani]

Shaken by the news circulating on social media that Prof. Owen Kalinga has passed on. Prof. Kawinga was a leading Malawian historian whose book, Historical Dictionary of Malawi, is a must-read for those who want to take a deep dive into our history. Rest in peace, son of the soil
