In 1995 he was selected to pursue a technical education course at the University of Malawi, the Polytechnic where he graduated with a degree in technical education.

Employment

Pride worked as a District Coordinator for CPAR (Canadian Physicians for Aid and Relief) from 2002 to 2005. He was based at Chintheche and later Nkhata Bay stations.

Death

Pride was killed by robbers around 21:00 hours on 28 March 2005 in Nkhata Bay at his house at Chikale.

The robbers were after the Toyota Land cruiser which he was driving on his way home. The robbers surfaced from his maize field as soon as he parked and got out of the car. They attacked him to force him to release the keys for the car which he didn’t. With frustration the robbers shot him twice around the hip. He was ferried to Nkhata Bay District Hospital where before he could receive medical help he passed on due to severe loss of blood.

The following morning the keys were discovered in between the car back door and spare tyre holder.

His house boys laments that Pride told him a week or so earlier that some people want to steal the car.

Notably some bullets are said to have gone missing at Nkhata Bay police station and the bullets retrieved from his body were discovered to be the exact ones that went missing from the police station.
