Very sad indeed. The DPP team and their leader are busy eating COVID allowances instead of addressing crucial issues like this one.
Sad Mwee!
Very sad news! They go there for green pasture but look what they got Alas our brothers & our sisters gone too young!!
So sad, may there souls rest in peace
The death of 10 Malawians in South Africa is a tragedy.They did not deserve to die in that manner.However, during South Africa’s lockdown there were restrictions imposed and those who did not adhere to them were facing the music. During their lockdown we heard about Police and Army brutality and some people lost their lives.Therefore, I would suggest our government to engage with Pretoria to get to the bottom part of this issue.Are our fallen brothers/sisters amongst those killed by Police/Army brutality or not? We must also be mindful of the fact that in this Global community, anybody has the… Read more »
BEING STONED TO DEATH FOR WHAT…….? See what citizens have to go through for greedy politicians failing to provide people with necessary livelihoods. They are all so young with their full lives not spent !!!! And you think supreme court can give DPP the chair on a silver platter!
I understand that sneaking out during the lockdown is illegal and should be banned, but OMG stoned to death… They must have experienced the most brutal minutes before their death. Who has the right to stone somebody to death without a trial? What will South Africa do with those killers?
Especially the one who was murdered and thrusted by an unknown thug, definately died in vain. I think the SA gov will grudge exerting their police force to find the murderer, given that they are on a lockdown.
Too bad! May their souls rest in peace. Malawians please, don’t go to South Africa where you are not Wellcome. That country is no good to fellow Africans.
I blame APM for their untimely death, why not quickly repatriate the Malawians abroad. APM is heartless president. What did Malawians do to deserve this witch, APM?
You stupid faguu… Don’t you see what is happening in malawi… How many president do we have? Three president… Chilima, chakwera and muthalika. Why are you blaming 1?
Because APM took an oath to protect venerable Malawians home and abroad and he recently said the right to life is above all other rights. Looking at this this witch clearly meant the right to death is above all other rights as long as he is the president.
Very sad indeed! Stoned to death when they were desperate looking for food. May their souls Rest In Peace. May God comfort everyone! This is sad news indeed.
