Malawi authorities blocking Nyasa Times website

zafika pamenepa? Chingwe thinks it is practically impossible to block the whole country from visiting a website. Maybe on department level....

Its not bad to present negative stories about Bingu and his govt but not good either to make Muluzi an angel.

Mirrium Makeba a South African musician is dead, we shall remember her always, especialy the "patapat" song.

Makeba in the past did sing one song which talk about exactly what Dr bingu "Ngwazi" bad things is doing now in Malawi.

Nyasatimes is for everyone, * do not see the reason of trying to block it. This is November a Ngwazi, only four (4) month remaining before you go back to drive a minbus. Viva Nyasatimes.

Let 2009 come quickly and we do away with these nonsenses.

When will Malawi wake up from slumber? Lets unite as one in developing this nation. Lets be a patriotic lot. A people focussed and expectant of a bright future. We have seen how our Ngwazi is handling the economy and development. The God of heaven, let your Hand be on Malawi!!!!!

The true colours of Bingu are coming out. He wants to keep the nation uninformed so that his fraudulent acts are not exposed. koma wanama. Malawi is tied of doctored news that is why some of us do not listen to TVM and MBC. Nyasatimes find ways of by passing this plan and give us real news. Shame on Bingu!!!!!!!!

Thats not possible, Nyasa find more IP'* so that when they broke this one, automaticaly it should direct us to another site, just like DHCP in windows server, everything is possible, keep on directing them to many IP'*

Uku ndiye mkutha maplan a Bingu. You can not afford to do such a thing. Information is power! The more you do that the more people will be visiting Nyasa home page. Let free information flow. You only need to act decently as the first citizen. Nyasa is there to stay and publish both the good and the bad as it perceives to be newsworthy ngakhale nawo a Nyasa nthawi zina they become unprofessional in terms of their story presentation. You need to go back to school Nyasa in some respects. Inetu sindi manyengerera kuti iyi ndi Nyasa kapena Boma ayi. * just call a spade by its good name.

you people need to stop publishing a whole lot of bull. why cant you just be honest for heavens sake bingu is doing a great job and if people like you conld just for once back off our country could be a better place. . .

A Ngwazi ngati mukufuna kutseka website yi ndiye kuti ndi zoona mwabadi,koma musaiwale kuti information yonse si iri ku website kokha ayi what about anthu amene mumabanawo muwatsekanso pakamwa?.Si inu nokha amene mwakhala mukuba ndalama za boma,koma ngati muli ndi mphamvu zotseketsa website mukulephera pati nanunso ku ulula anzanu.Nza manyazi kwambiri.

KOMA KUTUKWANA KWA NYASATIMES KOCHITA KUTUKWANA PRESIDENT WAWO MUMAGWIRIZANA NAKO? WHY DO WE ALWAYS SHOOT OURSELVES IN THE FOOT BY DESPISING OUR OWN PRESIDENT? WE MUST BE A SICK NATION. OUR FRIENDS ELSEWHERE ARE PATRIOTIC. THEY MAY DISAGREE WITH GOVT POLICIES AND SPEAK OUT NOT THE WAY NYASA DOES IT. A WORD OF WISDOM AND ADVICE:

IT IS UNGODLY AND A CURSE FOR A NATION TO RIDICULE, MOCK AND DESPISE THEIR LEADER. LEADERS ARE ALLOWED TO RULE BY GOD FOR AN APPOINTED PERIOD TO SERVE GOD'* PEOPLE IN A CERTAIN DIMENSION. WHEN THEIR ASSIGNMENT IS OVER, GOD REMOVES THEM. NO AMOUNT OF INSULT WILL CHANGE GOD'* PURPOSES. ALL PRESIDENTS ARE ANSWERABLE TO GOD DURING THEIR TENURE OF OFFICE. INSULTING THEM MEANS INSULTING GOD WHO PLACED THEM. LET'* WATCH OUT.

WE MAY EXPRESS OUR DISAPPOINTMENTS AND UNFULFILLED EXPECTATIONS, BUT HONESTLY WE CAN NOT GO FURTHER AND ATTACK LEADERS' PERSONALITIES, HEALTH, AND PRIVATE LIFE. THAT WAY WE HARDEN THEM AND THEY START CREATING LAWS THAT ACT TO OUR DISADVANTAGE. UNFORTUNATELY WE HAVE NO POWER AGAINST THE PRESIDENT. YOU SAY WE HAVE THE VOTE POWER. YES, BUT ONLY WHEN GOD'* TIMING IS IN AGREEMENT WITH YOUR VOTE. LIKE IT OR NOT.

SO, LETS NOT WASTE TIME TO THINK WE CAN CONTROL GOD'* SEASONS. NOT AT ALL!

PLEASE, STAY SAFE. DON'* TRY TO POINT A FINGER AT GOD'* SERVANTS, THE SITTING PRESIDENTS. IT DOES NOT GO WELL WITH ANY ONE WHO TRIES. MARK MY WORDS AND REMEMBER THIS ALWAYS.

tsano tele mchani uchita uBingowo,
Mpho u are sayin somethin sensible, but if nyasasite is being blocked using IP Filtering then they must redirect to other IP`*, koma if they are being blocked using SITE Description tili Mmadzi bcoz every site or page written nyasatimes will be filtered,
ndatha ine, wokhumudwa

A Nyasatimes, inafe sitingakubakileni chifukwa nkhani zanu zimangakhala kulimbana ndi boma or kumamuchemelera Bakili ngakhale pa anthu awiliwa the majority of good thinking malawians and the donor community Bingu is better.Mind you when you start a fight , you expect anything from your opponent.

That'* killing press freedom but mind you the freedom has a limit. You dont write about someone'* health in the press without his/her consent. Ndani angasangalale kuwerenga mu nyuzi kuti iye ali ndi matenda akuti pamene iye sanawuzepo aliyense. Muli inu mungamve bwanji?
The problem with Nyansa times is that you attack Bingu left and right. Kaya ndi zotumidwa, sindidziwa. Nthawi zonse mukalemba nkhani ya Bingu, ndiye kuti mukumunena osati kudzudzula kapena kuyamikira. Anyway, take it easy, mwina mdi nkhani za m'maboma chabe! ALL THE BEST.

VINCENT/LILONGWE.

What Ngwazi Bingu Buluzi is like making more and more people to visit the Nyasa times.
Get it right Bingu! Nyasa times is a hot cake, you can'* mess with it.
More fireeeeeeeee! nyasa times, mpanikizeni walira nayo.

A nyasa times ndinu anthu obowa komanso nunso abodza. nanga bwanji ndikuwerenga. tamusiyeni Bingu atipatse chitukuko, kuzolowera kutapa basi. nthawi yanu inapita olo mulire magazi Mulungu anasintha zinthu kuti a malawi tilaweko ufulu.

* did warn Nyasatimes about this development, you did not listen. Be balanced in your reporting. It will be hard now for people inside Malawi to read Nyakuchanya 'Big Useless Words' Ganda'* articles! Haa! Haaa!Haa! * like Sembe'* Timau C, they love Malawi unlike most Nyasatimes articles!

****** eti?Ukuwona ngati ife information tizikaitenga kuti?Enafetu sitimamvera Mutharika Broadcasting Corporation(MBC.
Dzichepe ndipo ndisadzamvenso,otherwise.........

This is the 3rd month since they blocked Nyasa website at the Capital Hill offices. People are forced to go out of their offices and look for other places where they can have access to this website. And * know Moya and his forces will not sleep until the website access is completely blocked in my beloved country. Good to hear that Nyasa is also not just sitting phwiii!!! You are coming up with contingency plans in case these oppressors succeed in blocking it. If they succeed, it will terrible for other fellows * know of. These people are sort of addicted to Nyasa and to spend a few days without reading it, they will be rushed to hospital.
Koma nayenso Moya ndiye akuonjeza kwabasi. * did not want to believe it when people kept on saying that these are Moya'* last days in office, but from his latest actions surely these are the last kicks of a dying horse. Moya akuchulusa phuma mmasiku ake omalizawa. Tiziona!!!!

This is a clear indication that our presidents are only surrounded by empty heads who are only bent are protecting presidents from dissenting views.
Am yet to see if they will achieve that at all.
Could someone civic educate these people on legacy please?

* will always pray for a better Malawi despite these useless politicians surrounding our presidents-'em bootlickers who make it up there not on merit but ..... (you know what * mean here)and also survive on people'* ignorance who (most) unfortunately cast the vote

Ndale zafikadi pokoma. The engine is currently running out of fuel in Bingu wa Muntharikas government boat which is sailing in the beautiful lake of Malawi but is slowly sinking down under the waters of Lake Malawi. Let the citizens of Malawi have access to Nyasatimes on line. Why does Bingus government hate the truth? We are in a democratic country where we shouldnt be denied the right to information. For your information Mr.President with your half baked press officer Chikumbutso Mtuumodzi and the so called spy masters of your DPP led-government Ngwenya and Kapalamula , you should bear in mind that blocking access to Nyasatimes wont solve or change anything because your government has already been assessed and evaluated by the innocent people of Malawi whom you have been harassing and intimidating for sometime. This will only add misery to your already feeble finished government which has hated press of freedom for a long time. When you are surrounded by mbuli like Chiku Mtuumodzi and Pat Kaliati, we will definately witness the falldown of your government in the next years general elections. You will face a painful defeat to one of the major opposition parties(MCP or UDF) if you make childish decisions after Ngwenya and Mtuumodzi submit their unworthy and fruitless intelligent investigations to you Bwana President. Signs are already there that you may lose miserably to either MCP or UDF if you dont plan your lesson plan carefully. Learn from John McCain who lost by a wide margin to the young energetic and talented Barack Hussein Obama. Leave Nyasatimes alone Mr.President!!! Wokuwuzani analipo koma kusamva Bwana Bingu.

That'* a non-issue. It'* possible to surf anonymously and you can use online services like this one:

http://www.the-cloak.***/login.html

Spread the word and let everyone read.

Thats not good Bingu. * will still vote for you but you should allow people to express themselves even if they are biased like Nyasa times.

pamalawi IT ILI MOTANI INU? tawasiyani awa ! we are having access to real forbiden websites ,ndiye akanene nyasa!! mm phi!!!!thats when he will realise that people are studying IT osati commerce yaku DEC !!!MUZINGOYALUKAPO APA TISIYANI IZI!

Alira amkayesa chiyani iye.Wakula mutu sulewa nkhonya. Sumati susolola,tikuona zomwe ukuchita kaya Tcheya walakwitsa tinena.

Chomwe chikufunika ubwenze ndege,nyumba za Lilongwe City Assembly,usiye madilu ndi Muli. Komanso ubweze za ku COMESA.Ukatero tisiya kukamba zakusololasolola kwako. ****** amadana ndi apolisi.

Choka nyasatimes idabwera kuli a Ngwazi genuine osati copy cat.Mwaiwala angwazi amatenga tchowa inu nanunso tengani labulu.

Kumeneko kuyambana kutseka nyasatimes chifukwa chiyani? Tinagwirizana kuti ngati wina zamunyasa asamapite pa website yathu.

Inunso a nyasatimes zomaika mafoni nambala za anthu apa it'* unethical anthu ena ndi mabulutu adzatipha ngati mmene akufera anthu ndi a MPF ndi 997.

Ife timakonda nyasatimes okonda makiyolobasi amachita switch on MBC radio1 and 2 kapena TVM. Ife anyasa timakonda nyasatimes.Free speach, Educative and Informative.

* would do the same if were Mtharika. IT IS TOO much of attacking one person and this almost has given an impression that Nyasa is for Bakili.

We just love it for the uptodate way of infroming the biased news how ever.

Yes, the MUGABE style has started. People, you are yet to see the worst from this mmaratha.

MBIYE MWAONJEZA. NYANSANET IS GOOD FOR YOU BECAUSE IT ALSO UPLIFTS YOU IN NYOUR POLITICAL CAMPAIGN. * THINK MBWIYE MUTHARIKA YOU DO NOT READ NEWS ON NYANSANET TO SEE WHAT GOOD PEOPLE TALK ABOUT YOU. BLOCKING NYANSANET IS A NONE STARTER AND YOU ARE PLAYING A LOOSING GAME. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED WITH KAMUZU, SOME PEOPLE WERRE ARRESTED BECUSE OF GETTING FAX LETTERS FROM PEOPLE OUTSIDE CONCERNING THE COMING HOME OF LATE CHAKUFWA.YOU CANNOT NOT FIGHT AGINS MEDIA NAD P[LAN TO WIN THE GAME. ACCEPT ANY COMMENT THAT PEOPLE GIVE. DO YOU KNOW THAT MANY PEOPLE TALK GOOD OF YOU ON THIS WEBSITE. AI MBWIYE MONGA INE MULOMWE MZANU WA KU MULANJE MWAONJEZA BWEZANI MKWIYO ANTHU ASAKUNAMIZENI IMENEYI NDIYE TIMATI DEMOCRACY.

tell them malawian. surprisingly we are reading this article online what rubbish it is. if anything we could hv read it in the print media not here. what all this fuss about, mavote omwewa? aliyesetu adzavota monga mwakukonda kwake ndiye olo mutalemba mphutsi zotani za Bingu apa aTcheya nkusanduka good boy, nope u wont steal everyone'* hear, ok? mungochedwa nkudzipakapaka manyi pa page panupa, za ziii!!!! ndiye mukawerenga mumaponya kuntaya osaika pa page * dont care, mwamvabe ndimalembera inu nomwe osati anzeru achetewo ayi. mumuuze Tcheya kuti adzaziona zomwe Obama anamuonetsa McCain hahahahahaaa mukuwa

NYASA TIMES ENJOYS CASTIGATING THE PRESIDENT WITH IMPUNITY. THEY ARE THE ONES WHO HAVE CREATED THIS PROBLEM FOR THEMSELVES. WHILE IT IS OK TO BE CRITICAL OF GOVT AND ITS POLICIES, * THINK PERSONALIZING ISSUES THE WAY NYASA TIMES DOES IS VERY BAD, A CURSE TO THEMSELVES AND PROVOCATION OF GOD'* ANGER. THE GOD WHO GIVES US LEADERS AND TAKES THEM AWAY WHEN HE WISHES.

NO AMOUNT OF INSULT WILL CHANGE BINGU. IT WILL NOT EVEN CHANGE GOD'* DESTINY FOR MALAWI. LET US FOR ONCE BE PATRIOTIC LIKE OUR FRIENDS IN OTHER COUNTRIES.

WHAT DOES BINGU'* ILLNESS HAVE TO DO WITH NYASA TIMES? * THINK YOU MISS A BIG POINT WHEN YOU ATTACH THE PERSON OF YOUR PRESIDENT AND RENDER YOURSELVES CHILDISH, IMMATURE, UNPROFESSIONAL AND UNPOPULAR. YOU HAVE NOONE TO BLAME BUT YOURSELVES. SO, DO NOT BUY OUR SYMPATHY BECAUSE WE ARE NOT INTERESTED!!!

PUBLISH THIS ONE BECAUSE YOU LIKE AVOIDING THE TRUTH WHICH IS PAINFUL TO YOU.

JESUS IS LORD OVER MALAWI X 7.

Nyasa times, * am sorry to hear about this. * love your news paper and * believe this will not affect me. The only problem * have with your paper is that you have lost the direction. When you started this it was very good because you were covering many issues affecting our society in Malawi but in the recent times your focus is only on Bingu and Muluzi and in your writing mumawonetsera kuti you support Muluzi which is unprofessional mu malamulo a utala nkhani. * would suggest that you should change your approach and start doing what you were doing before. * know Bingu has done many bad things, Muluzi did many bad things in his time we all know that, we should not try to pretend as if Muluzi is innocent and Bingu more guilty. * don'* support either one of them because * believe they are equal in deeds. * have seen that some people think this cannot happen let me tell you, it is very easy to do that but they can only block this in Malawi those of you who are outside Malawi will still have access to this site.

Kodi ananu mwabadwa liti? Kodi mwayamba za Bakili zopanga ban The Agenda and stifling The Democrat? * condemn this move by Govt. Kuno si ku China ayi!!!

Thanks Ritta Kamba for your objectivity.

Freedom of press is being suffocated? Every regime tries to suffocate the media in one way or another even in the so called great West. This is nothing new but * am also not sure Nyasa Times' claim. You guys have printed some fabricated stories or stretched truth for so long you are distructive to the media. * liken you to Fox News in the US. You need real journalists not people who have access to a pen. Remember a pen is mightier that a sword and what you write goes a long way. Let us also be honest. You support Muluzi. Will please let us know what Muluzi did to advance Malawi in the ten years he was in power? Do we really want to go back to the 'Lost Decade?" Be objective in your work otherwise you lost credibility a long time ago. You have the readership and you should use it to educate people about Malawi not fabricate the truth. If you say long enough it still does not become true.

bwana bwezani maganzo aenewo muyaluka

There has been irresponsible writing. * remember several times the moderator allowed words like "********, nyero" etc to be published here. Thats childish. Aitsekedi eee.

That is total madness, Malawi is not China. Get lost with your nasty idea of blocking the fantastic website.

good

A Malawian ndiyenso simutha kumvetsetsa nkhaniyi. Bingu akufuna kupha Freedom Of Expression, Is that "doing great JOB"? You can get lost!!!!!!

Bingu stop that nosense!!!! Atcheya adati inu bwana mukhala President oyamba kukhala pa mpando only 1 term unvoluntarily. These are good indicators

Nyasa Times, * don'* sympathize with you at all. That is what you deserve. The problem you have is that instead of "reporting news" you "create news". A newspaper is there to report what has happened and not to create stories. * don'* mind you writing news comments so long as it is said explicitly that it is a news comment so that it is treated as such.
How many people have you defamed? How many people have you written lies about? You are not patriotic at all. Everything you write is anti Bingu, anti DPP, anti Northerners. Malawi is a country for all of us and not you only! If this is the way to go then our country will never never develop. In developed countries defamation is a serious crime and you are made to pay for it.
About the government blocking your site, * will tell you as an expert in communications: if the govt really wants to block your site, it is very easy, but * will not tell you how. * can even tell you who is hosting your site and where you upload your stories from. * can even hack your site if * want. You need to change. Don'* defame people all the time.

Bingu this is too much now Mr President. You have your own news paper which does not write anything good about other leaders like che Muluzi and Odala Otembo. Do you own Malawi kodi mdala iwe? We have the rights to compare news from different sources and not what you are doing. This is childish now. Nyasa will find means of blocking your hacking system for the people of malawi to know the truth.

Kenako bingu adzapha amalawi onse akadzaluza chisankho chaka chikubwerachi. He is showing his charector that he does not accept opposition of any kind, after all he has the name Ngwazi niye palibe chodabwitsa apa.

That is the real behaviour of the Ngwazi'*, they do not like criticism,Advice,amafuna kuti azingoyamikilidwa even akamapanga zopanda nzeru.But such days are over.More malawians are clever and wise today than those days of the real Ngwazi Kamuzu Banda. you are lying and wasting time if you think that you can blindfold malawians at this stage.what are you trying to hide about yourself?we want to know you better coz most malawians do not know you.grew up in Zim,Married a Shona lady,worked in Zambiya munaba and you lost your job.we want to know more about you!! we know chair ndi *****, Tembo ndi wa kupha.Tsono inu simufuna kuti tikudziweni? This is malawi ofcourse tilibe Diamond ndi Golide kapena Copper
,but you must not think that we are poor and ****** ,then you are making a big mistake!!!

Bwana Ngwazi junior mwachita bwino,Komanso ma DSTV MULETSE AKUPHUZITSA MWANO, AMALAWI AKUWONA ZAMBIRI,EVEN INTERNATIONAL NEWSPAPERS, MAGAZINES,AND INTERNATIONAL CALL MUST BE MONITORED WITH YOUR INTELLIGENCE UNIT.TUMIZANI A POLISI ANU BWANA KUTI ALANDE MA SATELITE DISH ONSE BWANA.TONSE TIZIONERA MTV NDITHU BWANA.UMENEWU NDIWO UNGWAZI BWANA.NDI ZIMEN MALEMU NGWAZI SENIOR AMACHITA AKADALI MOYO.NDINE SUPPORTER WANU WA MKULU BWANA ,CHAKA CHA MAWA TIKUWINANSO BWANA MUSAOPE. KOMANSO TIYENERA KUTSEKULA DAM LA NG'ONA LIJA BWANA KUTI TIPItiRIZE NTCHITO YATHU YOTHANA NAWO AKUCHITA MAKANI WA.ZIKOMO BWANA.

wel done Ngwazi! Ban DSTV'*, too!!
immoral channels!! * f you are a real malawian you must watch MTV.

Inunso ma ISP you will lose your business because of this bloody government. People want to get the service they are paying for. Is there any clause in your contract that the government will tell you to broke the service to your customers?

People want a service for a particular reason; it might be somebody prescribed to your service just for nyasatimes and you have broked his/her service now.

Customer first. Ndipake sitidzatukuka ku Malawi tulo too much.

Is this what you call development or rubbish.

It is easy to block the nyasatimes website on a particular server and within the same local area network not the whole country block it from accessing the site. There are several tools one can use to browse anonymously and for those in civil service who fear that kambuku will be on your neck,just download google chrome web browser and start surfing in what is called"incognito mode". This kambuku and akweni will not find you. If it were easy to block sites, many porno sites would have been blocked by now. Osamangonamizana ndi ICT. In theory to block a site so that it'* not accessed by a country, looks very simple but for those of us who are really doing the job,it is a non starter. The easiest is what they have done at capital hill by blocking the site using web filter on that particular internet server and network. Mwayesa ndi zophweka ngati kutseka Joy TV and Radio,mwang'omboka!! * am just surfing daily, ndiope ndani?

And also this Mmaratha has sent, out there, his buggers of intelligence NINCOMPOOS to start sniffing the real names of commentators on this page. To hell with him! And to hell with his ring of spies! A matter of time for themto go face the REAL HELL.

Apa ndiye mulephera even you start sniffing the real names of commentators you will not catch us. What you have to know is that its not only those lliving in malawi are reading and commenting on this website. mwalemba mmadzi malawians are like Jews living all over the globe. Nyansanet usagonje tiye nawo mapka alire. Izi zikuchutika someone by the name Kaliati is behind this move komabe alephera. Malawi wihtin and abroad are now computer wizzards and simutitha. We can even get your photos while we reside in Peru or Iraqi.
good day amalawi moto kunja kwacha. Ngati akuchera adani ukupita ku Lilongwe sintha thabwa utenge ya zalewa,zomba or thambani etc kuli konse ukafika ndiponso ukhoza kutenga ya ku matandani kulowa mozambique mpaka kuturukira kwa kadzakalowa kapena ku biliwiri.
Ndapita zikomo amalawi tiyeni tisangalale pa nyansa net

Nyasa times apo nde kuwonjeza.kusonyeza kuti mulipamodzi ndi uja adapita wopanda zeru.uja adapha matafali sindifuna kumutchula.Iye akuwona ngati ali ndizeru pofuna kuzayimaso.he thinks there is no one who can manage to be a reader of that small country. Bingu you know the truth. why you panic yourserf with fools. Otsatseka ziwakuti malova ndiochuluka ndiye ukatseka ukuwonjezera mavuto. tawasiye bolani you have known them that they have been told by monkey.

Aaaaa nanga ife tizimva bwanji zakumudziko. siuja mumati mukufuna technology ikwele ndi mau lendo aanu a ku rwanda aja. ndiye chonchi are u noy impeding the technological rise in our economy? e government itheka bwanji choncho? bwezani moto unle Bingu.
