Activist Kapito says demo does not make sense: Malawi CSO’s say ‘red’ for protests

January 12, 2015 Hudson Mphande -Nyasa Times 155 Comments

One of Malawi’s renowned civil and consumer rights activist John Kapito has rubbished the demonstrations being organised by his fellow civil society organisation members describing them as narrow focused and that do not make much sense.

Kapito: We will go on the streets
Kapito: We will go on the streets

The demonstrations being led by Human Rights Consultative Committee targets the country’s First Lady Gertrude Mutharika whose Beautify Malawi Trust (BEAM) is being accused of bulldozing its way to get a K5 million grant from the National Aids Commission (NAC).

Other body targeted are the tribal grouping Mulhakho wa Alhomwe whose patron is the country’s President Arthur Peter Mutharika. The grouping is also said to have benefitted from NAC finds.

However, in an interview Kapito said it was doubtful that the demonstrations would yield desired results as they are targeting wrong people.

Kapito, who in the past has been in the forefront organising such demonstrations at times singlehandedly said this time he will not be part of the ‘circus’.

“This is like targeting a single fly or mosquito instead of dealing with the source of the flies or mosquitoes to deal with the for once and ever. If you ask me these demonstrations could have targeted NAC and I would have been more than willing to join my colleagues,” said Kapito.

He also said it is unwise for the organisers to include the current cashgate issue saying that people including himself already demonstrated on this and action was taken followed by arrests of several government officers.

During a press briefing in Lilongwe on Monday CHRR Executive Director Timonthy Mtambo announced that the demonstrations are going ahead despite some of the activists having a different view.

Apart from BEAM the activists have included deteriorating state of governance and socio-economic living conditions in Malawi as part of their petition to government.

The following are the routes agreed by both CSOs and Malawi Police Service for the demonstrations:

LILONGWE: Kamuzu Central Hospital Roundabout via Lingadzi Roundabout via NAC offices via Parliament then deliver the petition at the Civic Offices.

MZUZU: Katoto via Mzuzu Clock Tower via Mzuzu High Court roundabout and then deliver the petition at Civic offices;

ZOMBA: Community ground via Mponda School then Zomba district assembly to deliver the petition;

KARONGA: Karonga roundabout then direct to Karonga district assembly to deliver the petition;

BLANTYRE: Upper Stadium via High Way and then deliver the petition at the CIVIC Offices.

  1. Talk of disasters now not meaningless demos. Mungofunapo makobili basi mwauponda. Kasamaleni anzanu akubvutika ndi madzi.

  3. what do people expect from.this idiot Kapito who after being bribed by DPP as board chair of Southern Region Water Board. Kwathu kuno ndiye usadzabweretu. He is a greedy person uyu afunseni ma staff a ku MHRC akuudzani zambiri yamkulu ameneyo. Bungwe lakenso mdi one man band komanso nepotism ikumkhudza chifukwa anapatsidwa mpamdo chifukwa ndi mlomwe

  6. lero kuno ku bt kulibe olo munthu pa stadium. tiuzeni mulipati? ndikufuna ndidzaone osati ku marcha. cso mulibe anthu. mavenda akana

  7. Expect little or no turnout out.I’ve seen a lot of people going for their daily routine activities and not bothered with this demo.It’s a low morale demo.CSOs please focus on real issues other than this.

  9. Mulungu tifuna chitetezo chanu kwa ife ana anu kaya Mademo achitike kapena osachitika ife tidalila inu mbuye wathu titetezeni.

  14. kapito is board chair of SRWB. So no wonder that he is against these demostrations.Honstly we should demonstrate.People with Hiv /Aids akusowa zambiri kuphatikizapo chiponde.

  15. Let those Malawians who would like to express their constitutional rights do so because this is enshrined in our Supreme Law of the land. If Mr Kapital feels the contrary, he is entitled to do so koma he has no right to discourage Malawians from matching much as he has the right or freedom to express his opinion on the issue.

    Anthu akuzunzika pa nkhani za HIV ndi AIDS mmidzi and it would be naïve for someone to think in the manner of JK (John Kapito). Pitani mmidzi mukaone anthu a Kapito. Mwakhala mukupanga champion ma demonstration. The money in question is huge if it were used for intended purpose and not for cleaning Malawi.
    My last advice to Malawian CSOs, mukamapanga ma demonstrations, consult as much as possible and if there are some who don’t agree to the cause of an action by other they should try to avoid washing the dirty linen in the public. Mumangoonetsa kuti zomwe mumapanga they are politically motivated osati kuthandiza a Malawi (the poor and voiceless).

  17. Hypocrisy
    One of the very dangerous vices is hypocrisy. When it appears in any individual or a group it puts the society to peril and deprives it of every kind of progress.

    The word munaafiq is derived from the root nifaaq. One whose outward and inward is not the same or who is called double-faced is a hypocrite. Here it means a band which acts against logic and reason and which, for their personal interests and transient benefits, goes against the decisive majority to such an extent that if they can, they resort to sabotage. Yet, for fear of the community or lust for current gains, they make a show of friendship and unity or intimacy.

    Hypocrites are not found only in Islam or other religious but they are also seen in political parties. Generally when the working or course of the ruling party endangers the interests of a band and they are unable to oppose the rulers openly they strive to find out people like them and them form a nucleus of central nucleus of hypocrisy.

    Sometimes such people also instigate other aliens to create fissure in the ruling party and through hues and cries prevent it from enacting its programmers.

    In the third stage it is possible that a group is, from the beginning, not on the platform of the faithful but due to lust makes a show of being like it or for securing the safety of its life and property declares itself to be belonging to the rulers group.

    The above-mentioned causes motivate the creation of hypocrite groups in global parties that are based on common thoughts.

    Islam is also not an exception to the aforesaid rule. After the establishment of the Islamic state and party on the basis of Piety and social justice and moral virtues planted in the hearts of the majority of the people, groups like the Tudeh party and the Mujaahideene Khalq and Khalqe Muslaman and stood up or came into being who, outwardly, made a show of respect to the principles and laws of Islam but who were in their hearts, staunch opponents of Islam and who passed the military secrets of the Islamic state to enemies and/or by spreading false rumours treated fear in the hearts of some Muslims and tried for the break up of the Islamic state through their relations with anti-Islamic states.

    So, after the victory of the Islamic Revolution, under the leadership of the great leader, the Naib Imam, Imam Khomeini such groups began their work of hindrances and sabotage and instigated daily strikes in schools and factories and made plots and spread rumours. They had enacted their plans so cleverly in organisations that they were able to inflict terrible blows on the head office of he Islamic Republican Party wherein they killed seventy-two representatives of the nation. Again they conspired in the office of the Prime Minister wherein the popular leader Brother Rajai and the scholar brother Bahonar were martyred. This hypocrisy was so deep-rooted that, had there not been the steadfastness of the Imam and the awakening of the nation, they would have been able to overturn the Islamic state in Iran, in the early days of the Islamic Revolution.

  18. It want make a difference to you Kapito dont make your nonses here. Those going for the demos it makes sense to them and those are the true sons and daughters of malawians who believes in the 21st century democracy!

  19. Pamene amapanga kapeni machona anuwa amatichiyani amati azathesa zosezi agalu inu muyaluka tiyeninawoni wina akomoka muyitsova.

  21. Demostrations are useless brave Kapito. The problem here is nsanje instead of thanking God for the rains and taking a step towards helping those affected by floods surely this is nosense and naïve. Shame to all Demo planners

  23. Thanks Heaven, He who want to demonstrate should be in the streets despite heavy rains. on july20 you organisers run away leaving thieves and innocent souls lost their lives and properties. go go go go and get socked koma osadwala nayo.

  25. Im askng al malawians to march mawa m’mawa. Its ur const-rights to march against corruption, nepotism, regionalism etc. Coz such will affect our childrens future if nt dealt nw. Malawi is afallng apart under peter leadershp.

    1. If ppl r shot at thm, we wl take the mp to icc. For tht is crime against humanity. Peter is old ad nt fit to b aleader. Amalawi timadzi kuti chisakho anabera.

    1. Kodi iwe Azafunika ukati asajaile mopusa ukunena ndani pamenepa? Tiyeni tonse aMalawi tigwilane manja kuthandiza dzikoli. Osati leavin o problems 2 one man (APM)

  33. Admittedly the govt has not handled the NAC issue with the seriousness it deserves. The CSOs are the soul and conscience of the nation, therefore they need to express the public’s frustration over many teething issues that the nation is reeling under. However this requires utmost responsibility, maturity and understanding from both sides of the politics divide. The current demo is really out of sync with the prevailing public opinion and sentiment. What does this demo hope to achieve? Who will benefit from this demo? Is it really a demo against NAC or the govt? When all is said and done, peace must prevail. Malawi is wounded and bleeding, who has the sanity to heal our troubled land? Only God.

  37. A Kapito Palo pano simungalankhule akudyetsani sikono. Mudzayamba mademo akangokuchotsani pa u chair wa Lilongwe Water Board. Ndani sadziwa utambwali wanu che Kapito. Mnzanu ndi Bamusi alibe 2 koloko ponama

  38. Hadson Mphande, learn to balance your stories… Who told you that Peter Mutharika is the Patron of mulhako wa alhomwe?
    If Bingu was the Patron, it doesn’t mean that Peter became the Patron as well by default…..
    Why cheating readers here….. How much have you paid to write this story????

  40. You want to fight the lomwes or what.mcp and pp digging its own grave yard. you will never get any vote from the lomwe belt.mark my words

  43. ASAAAAA…FLOODS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY….PLEASE LET US ALL PRAY FOR OUR BROTHERS ……IN THE LOWER SHIRE IN PARTICULAR….FOR THEIR SAFETY..IN THIS TRYING PERIOD.

  50. Lack of wisdom and knowledge on the part of CSOs .the falling kingdom is already divided. united you can not stand because of selfish motive which part of your friends discovered.yakwana nguwo mulekeni avale mtambo.

  55. Bwana kapito, your ideas are good but lopsided. The opposite is true. The sources of the problem are the two -Beam and Muhlakho using political manipulation. These are the guys to deal with. If NAC was not poltically influenced,it would not have granted the money. The proposals were far from NAC’s acceptable standard and never met its requirements. Therefore, NAC is just one single fly.

    In my view, the CSO are correct.

  57. Let the CHRR and the other NGOs demonstrate. Don’t demoralise them or else we’ll not have someone to speak for the voiceless next time we’ll need them most. Continue NGOs to raise an alarm each time gvt blunders to keep them on check.

  59. Kapito with due respect how did u expect ur friends to demonstrate against NAC? Can’t u see that NAC executives couldn’t refuse powerful people ‘s proposals? Who can ignore one from first lady? They cud be fired. Can’t u see? Mxiii. U chairman ndiomwe wakuzunguza.

  60. mr kapito you are not a leader if you were you would advise your fellow activist to do this and that not the way you are saying now

  65. SO THOSE DEMONSTRATING ASOWA KOPEZA NDALAMA NDI JANUARY YU ATI !!!!!!!!! WHY DEMONSTRATING ON A FLIE ????????????? THANKS KAPITO FOR THAT REASONING CAPACITY

  66. Kapito organised one demo targeting Blantyre Water Board, did it take place? No, why search me. Kapito, Bamusi, and others have got what they have all along been crying for – maudindo onona! Good for you Kapito. You used us to get what you wanted.

  67. I agree with Mr Kapito that the demos should have been targeted at NAC! My question is did the CSOs consult each other? I hate those people who r attacking people with a prefix of “Na”(Nambindo,Namatumbo,Namwiyo etc) when they comment saying they r against the demos bcoz they r alomwe or they have been given scones, yet they have freedom of expression. Me and my fellow students would have gone for the demos come rain come sunshine if they were targetted in removing the rot at NAC!

  69. CALL OUR CHAIR OF HRCC AND GET A COPY OF THE STATEMENT AGAINST THE 13 JAN 2015 DEMONSTRATIONS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  70. TAKE NOTE THAT HRCC BOARD HAD REFUSED TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS DEMONSTRATION AS MAJORITY OF BOARD MEMBERS FELT THAT THE AGENDA OF THE DEMONSTRATORS IS TO SERVE THEIR POLITICAL MASTERS AND THERE ARE NO TANGIBLE ISSUES TO DEMONSTRATE. IF THERE WAS THEN THERE WAS NEED FOR SENSIBLE CSOs LEADERS TO USE NEGOTIATION CHANNELS AND ONLY DEMONSTRATE AS A LAST RESORT. NYASATIMES ASK FOR THE STATEMENT WE HAVE RELEASED TODAY AGAINST THESE DEMONSTRATIONS.

  71. So tell ua how NAC are the right ppl ro target? Anakudyetsa chi banzi iwe hence za automatic fueld price adjustment qapanga comment after thia gvt of thieves has already stolen so much feom the Malawian ppl. Where were uou in Nov, Dec and now umvekwle fwe fwe fwe, atakumvele bdani wakoyo. Some of us see alot of sense in the demoz n we will be there…Ingopita ukalandike zako kwa asatan akowo

  72. Mwadya sikono baba Kapito otherwise what you are saying about the target of the demonstrations does not make sense at all. Are you maybe just jealousy that it is not you who is taking the lead?

  74. Professor Kapito (you sound like a know-it-all), technically, the narrower the scope, the better. If you have too many issues, at times, it is difficult to monitor or established if they have been addressed. What makes this demonstration important is that with that narrow focus, it carries a humongous message “we will not entertain cashgates anymore”; “we will not await until you are out of government to hold you accountable” and “we are determined to keep you in check”. This is the important element, grander than the actual issue.
    If you have managed to bring your small brain to terms with what I have said, then you should join the demonstrations even more enthusiastically.
    Another important thing Mr. Kapito (now that I have schooled you), it shouldn’t be you starting everything for the things to be reasonable. Join your friends and internally bring your ideas, like to widen the scope etc.
    Thank you Dr. Kapito (now that you are more intelligent) for all the good work you have done. Don’t lose your focus and grip now, you could go down the path of so many men and women we held in high regard BUT due to greed, lost all the respect.
    I love you Prof Kapito (now that you are schooled, selfless and accomodation.
    Amdala, Ahmad Amdala Wadi Yakiti, 6 mailosi

  75. khokhokhokho, inu atumbuka inu be careful, timakusiyani coz you are negligible. But mind you, we are watching you. You always put our country in trouble because of your petty activism. this is so because in the NGO sector u monopolize funding. Go to YONECO, headed by TUMBUKA from Rumphi, MC Bain Mkandawire- He employs drivers and cleaners from the north. what is that? if you talk of the most corrupt people in Malawi come from the North…. you CSOs help to develop Malawi than confusing it. Most of you are very unemployable, you hide behind NGO

  78. Bwana Kapito mulibe chilungamo ngati satana eti,chifukwa azanuwa alikunena zoona kuti we must postions rightly becoz GOD has ability to pull you down.

  79. SO IT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE TO PROTEST WHEN HIV/AIDS FUNDS ARE BEING MISUSED????
    REALLY!!!!!!!!! KAPITO NZERU ZAYAMBA KUTHA NDITHU!!!!!!!!!!.HE NEEDS SOME REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT.
    MR KAPITO IS SAYING THIS BECAUSE HE IS A LOMWE .HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE FIRST ONE TO CONDEMN BEAM AND MULHAKHO. IN MY OPINION THE DEMOS ARE VERY WELCOME WHETHER THEY ARE TARGETING THE BENEFICIARY OR THE BENEFACTOR BECAUSE THEY ARE ALL IN THE WRONG.

    MR KAPITO SHOULD REALISE THAT NAC ACTED UNDER DURESS AND THAT NAC IS JUST BEING USED .

  80. That’s the reason why many Malawians love this gentleman not these other party mercenaries. How I wish they borrow a leaf this gentleman, Kapito.

    How I wish they cancel the demos just for the sake of their integrity otherwise JB and MCP are denting their images.

    Bravo Kapito for coming open on the issue of fuel price reduction though its not to many people’s expectation. I believe you will press more for further reduction. By the way, does the Automatic Fuel pricing come to effective only if the price goes up? Why not reduce the price as per Automatic fuel pricing.

    All in all, GOD Bless Malawi!!!!!!

  81. Zanu izo tikakhala ife tiri pa maliro sitipangana nawo. Mai wathu tikufuna ause mu mtendere. We are guded by the four corner stones and forget the participation of MCP supporters. Our President has asked to mourn Madam Ruth Tembo with respect and unity. Demonstrations calls for hatred. Ife tiri pasiwa ndalama zimene mukuonongazo osangotithandiza ife amene tiri pa siwa. Zanu izo ife timamvera President wathu zomwe watilangiza. President Chakwera watiuza kuti tilire maliro mwa ulemu ndi bata.

  82. Bwana Timothy Mtambo ganizani mofatsa mokhasulise mademowa. Nthawi zina kumamva zopemphedwa ndi anzako ndi bwino. Kuyendetsa boma is a serious business. Pali chifukwa ponena mawu amenewa by acheya. Musazikonde ayi. Sindnu wopambana ayi.Lino ndi dziko lidayanja lichelo kusiya khasu limene limalima. Tsiku lina mudzachita ligereti. Apa ngakhale mademo kuti asachitike koma mwapereka phunziro ku boma. Ndithu boma lidzichita mantha ndikudziwa kuti tsopano a Malawi adachenjera zedi.

  83. Mr kapito cum a member of the board is a sell out. He fails to understand the reasons behind the demo. This is what I have said all along that once these so called rights activists get appointed to various boards they will forget what ever they were doing and start towing the line. I recall JB dismissed this confused Kapito as being vindictive for not being given a position in her administration. She was right. Mr kapito is a disgrace to the whole group of activists and all those fighting for justice in this country. was it not yesterday when he was crying phwiii against escalating costs of consumer goods? Was it not yesterday when he was demanding the government do something about the dwindling lifestyle of the masses and the depreciatingg kwacha in this country? My question to this confused greedy man is this, What has changed in the plight of the masses in this country from the time you made your observations and shade crocodile tears on our behalf?

  85. Kapito is right, Mtambo, Trapence (whatever he calls himself), Sembereka, Ellena, are very stupit people. There must be sputam in their heads.

  88. koma abale nsuzi ndi dhilu. Taonani bambo Kapito aaintha poyerayera ciz ayamba kusunsa nawo. You have just lost my respect ndiponso Mtuzu wako K.

  89. Viva Kapito! These demonstrations are mainly for PP losers who would like to pick up issues on every single thing! They backed Mtila then when they were wining and dining with her! Good luck tomorrow! Kkkkkk

  90. Shame on kapito,he is a beneficially and yet says doesnt see reason. It’s not about politicking here it’s about life. After all demos are not about kapito and has never been part of CSO. At BWB he was given Mk750,000 to cancel demos he organized and seeming he has received again, poverty in Malawi is our major problem. How big or small tomorrow’s demo wll be but most important the message will be home! Am sure Gertrude and her gang of thieves will never do it again! Kapito is a sell out..

  91. In my opinion let the people demonstrate whether it makes sense or not.
    It is late in the day that people come to realize if what thy have done is sensible or useless.
    We cant all think same way. Some act before they reason and other reason then act. This is our strength as diverse as possible. All we need is to accept each others weaknesses and strength.

  93. THIS DEMO MAKES SENCE TO ME.UNLIKE KAPITOS DEMO-CARYING POOP IN HIS JACKET ONLY TO THROW THE SAME POOP IN WATER AT WATERBOARD OFFEACES.ONE MANS MEAT=ANOTHERMANS POISON.THERE WAS NO NEED 4 KAPITO TO GO ON MEDIA WHEN HIS RESOLVE IS TO BE PASSIVE ON DIS DEMO.IS KAPITO WISER THAN MALAWANS WHO R TO MARCH?OUR PLACARDS R NOT ONLY ABOUT NAC

  94. Please demo organizers hear the voice of many Malawians. We are saying that the issue does not make sense when compared to level of bad effect the case has against the punishment used to offset the bad effect. Its too much. Its just like burning the buttercles of the child by his mother simply because of stealing two bonyas from the cooking pot. Why not conselling the child for normal rehabilitation. In otherwords there is no realistic no logic no sense no anything but work of devil behind human rights fighter. Malawians fear the consequences that may come with the actions of few people while over 13 million Malawians do not agree. This means CSOs in Malawi are more powerful than the owners of the country.
    Timothy Mtambo be aware that most Malawians will be disappointed with your inconsiderate cognition, undialogueable approach as if you are in Pakistan. Please it is not too late you can reverse you action for better Malawi. we know you are capable of influencing such action but for now and only for now hear the outcry of Malawians.
    May God bless you while you rethinking of postponing the demos.

  95. WE ARE IN DEOMCRACY!!!!! KAPITO LET THOSE WHO WANT TO DEMONSTRATE DEMONSTRATE. WHY ARE PEOPLE BOTHERED? BOMA LINAKUPATSANI UDINDO.

  96. Kapito is a bastard. During JB regime he often organized demos, sometimes single-handedly. Today, with Mutharika as president, Kapito sees no reason to worry as everything is okay to him. I didn’t know this man is so stupid. Between APM’s and JB’s regime, which one has brought Malawi so much socio-economic anguish and hopelessness? Bingu had left a two-pronged legacy of bad governance and cashgate. Donors pulled out of Malawi on account of bad governance, and Malawi’s economy was brought down to its knees. What the donors and Malawians did not know was cashgate that was going on secretly under Bingu. The former RB governor tried to nudge Bingu into stopping the cashgate, but Bingu quietly swept it under carpet and continued stealing govt’s money like nobody’s business, stacking 61 bn MK in sacks and hiding it in his office and at Mpumulo wa Bata in Thyolo. In total 92 bn MK had gone between 2005 and 2012 under Bingu. Meanwhile Malawians were going through one of their toughest economic times. People tried to demonstrate but Bingu shot most of them dead, and people cowed into fear and resigned to fate. The problem was too big for Malawians to solve. On 5th April 2012 the hand of God moved to rescue Malawians and struck Bingu dead while on top of a wayward woman. Following this, Dr JB became the next Malawi’s president. Within 100 days of her ascent to power Malawi’s problems were resolved and donors returned. She continued cleaning Malawi of the economic shit defecated by Bingu, including revealing of the existence of cashgate which had continued by DPP elements in govt. The donors would have known this earlier but there was no chance while Bingu lived. Upon revelation of cashgate, donors were horrified and decided that the government machinery was too porous and unfit as receptacles of donor money. JB did not punch holes into the govt receptacle; she only revealed the holes existed. Bingu punched the holes and concealed their existence. Once again the donors pulled out, requesting govt to seal the loopholes first. While JB was sealing the leaking bucket, elections came in and ushered Bingu’s bro. APM into presidency. The man, himself having participated in the theft under his bro Bingu, has failed to seal the leaking bucket and has failed to audit the money stolen under his bro between 2005 and 2012 despite the Germans providing money for such an audit. As a result, Malawi’s economy has worsened. Problems are everywhere for everyone to see. APM is exacerbating (instead of mitigating) the problems by extorting theft from NAC, resulting in the only remaining donor, the Global Fund, leaving as well. The CSOs are demonstrating to nudge APM into positive action that will restore donor confidence and restore Malawi’s economy and dignity. And Kapito sees no reason for the demos? Bulshit. Bastard. Traitor. Hypocrite. Kleptomaniac. Corrupt. Wizard. Hyena. Mafia.

  97. Yeah, I agree with Kapito. The sensible demo was the one he tried to mobilise, urging us to carry BIBI to BWB only to chicken off atadya CHIBAZI. We last had water in Bangwe in September 2014.
    Ndalamazotu, Bwampini mumudyeradi,, but think about MAWA!
    Do you know one, Chakufwa Chihana? He too, like you Kapito, loved money more than the populous! He went to the grave a villain from HERO of democracy.

  99. I agree with Kapito and my addition is that the concerned CSOs are ashamed to change their tune because they know that they will not be taken seriously in future.Mtambo is just being selfish with his friend Sembereka who wanted to get 17 million out of the 40 million funded by the so called JB to disturb the country.

  100. Kapito playing it safe tactic. Udindo mgokoma uwu. Mwendo wina uli uku wina uko. I dont blame you. U cannot despise the hand that is feeding u. Why coming out today if u have a better way of doing demos. Mukanawuza amznuwo kuti timatele in good time. Nanga lero demo mawa. Koma ndalama ndithu ndi satana.

  102. ngati mukufuna yambanichipani chanu wosamabisala kumbuyo kwa ma demo,ma palesitina mwagwilizana kupanga mademo ndichilinga
    chofuna kulanda jelusalem? pakana Yesu azbwela inu mukanatsutsabe

  103. When Kapito wanted to take feaces to Blantyre Water Board his fellow CSO leaders respected him and did not condemn him. In any case he is missing the point – a demonstration does not not have to make sense. It is a way of letting off steam in a democracy. There are 15 million Malawians – we cannot all agree on one thing, but we have to learn to respect each others’ choices.

    Ferrying chiefs all the way from Karonga and other far flung places also didn’t make sense, but I have not heard Kapito condemning this…

  104. Mr. Kapito mungonena kuti mwatopa ndi bomali! I am still wondering why it has taken you so long to give your input on these demonstrations! I thought this could have been expressed sometime back other than you coming forward this time of the day that demonstration are just around the corner. The fact still remains that all is not well and as civil society you should have been giving your positive direction as than rubbishing the efforts of your colleagues. Inuyo mwakhala mukupanga mademonstrations, where you using the right procedure! Posachedwapa you planned to demonstrate against BWB on water shortages in Blantyre, was that the right target? I thought you should also have targeted government? Mchyuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

  108. tikanakhala ndianthu wochuluka woganiza ngati kapito, dzikoli sibwenzi tilipamene tili lelopa.
    kapito bomaaaaaaaah!inu a CSOs mukutiwonongera dziko lathu

  111. MR. KAPITO WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH NOW, CHEATING DOES NOT PAY, YOU HAVE BEEN VOICING ALOT TO-DAY YOU ARE CHANGING YOUR VOICE. DO NOT PAINT MALAWIANS PLEASE, BE SMART IN TELLING THE PUBLIC AND NOT IN THE WAY YOU HAVE DONE.

    *********** SORRY MR. KAPITA TO-MORROW WE WILL LEARN SOMETHING FOLLOWING YOUR WORDS **********

  113. Mtambo is a selfish being or he is just a an artificial person being controlled by a remote systems. Every malawian is against demo even if you try to get views of people on various private radio stations, all views are of contrary opinion against demo. Then why Timothy has just stood on his feet for the act that will not help Malawians at all.really Timothy is a high-breed mercenary of Jezebel who is in USA. The problem with Jezebel is that she does not know how to make campaign but she is an expert is pulling dow the government. She knows how to convince fools like Timothy .

    I mean if you go and act against BEAM or NAC or Mulhako, you are likely to score a point not against the government let alone Mr cool president.Please Timothy target NAC , target Mulhako or target BEAM. Please, please call a spade by its name not otherwise. Do not force fourtyth day for APM in terms of poor governance. If indeed the president is going to have bad governance in his rule period, let it come to extent that there should not a third party or an influencing substance apart from the wrongs of the president himself. IN THIS CASE all Malawians are saying the president is not wrong at all. Leave the president alone. Do not mention the president in your man-made injustice demo. demos which are saving interest of few individuals . Rubbish. Timothy Mtambo you are a dangerous hyena in the sheep’s wool. Still you will be exposed one day. Five years is just too long for to travel peacefully. This is the same as what Mwakasungula did but look at Mwakasungula today he can not appear in presence of Malawians. That’s what you Tumbukas do you are very greedy.

  114. Kapito Paja Kaudindo Kaja Kakupatsa Matama Eti!Malawians Will Never Take You Seriously.Next Time You Call 4 Demos,udzamatcha Wekha Ndi Mkazi Wakoyo

  115. what about ife aku Mangochi, Thyolo, Chikhwawa, Salima, Ntcheu, Dedza?? nanga ku north five districts inu mwatengako two districts bwanji?? ife apa Central kutipasa district imodzi?? nde tikamati demo yi ndiya atumbuka ndi pp muzikana?? deep down your hearts you know these demonstrations are inspired by frustrations, mainly that pp is no longer in government. nanga mukukodola za cashgate mesa za cashgate anakodoladi kale Bwana kapito?? ambwenumbwenu kaya muti ma black ants, a vyangavyanga mukodola simunati, mpaka 3030, kkkkkkkiieest koma zoti mmodzi wainu azanyerako ku state house ali president, muiwale. This includes all pp lazy bones and minds

  116. But Mr Kapito, the source of the fly is the people and organizations who thought of soliciting funds from NAC in the first place, so thats the source of the flies. NAC can not be the source of the flies.
    Come and join us in the demo least posterity misjudges you…

  117. That’s his opinion. May be he is losing touch with the masses. Let the other CSOs do the job. Does he not know that it is a single fly that produces many flies. Tidikire kuti zichulukane ndiye tiyambe kuzipha. That will be too late.

  121. i think what kapito could have done was to advise his colleagues on strategy and modality to make the demos more relevant as he claims they are not making any sense. suppose global fund closes its taps to Malawi,are all of us not to be affected in one way or the other.in whatever we do let’s be united.if your friends are not doing it better,offer an advise not boycotting.koma munakakhala organiser inu.stupid.

  122. Mwayamba kuukilana nokhanokha kutanthauza kuti mitu yanu sikugwila mukufuna kupepeletsa amalawi. Wmisala ndi yemwe apite ku mseuyo, Mvula yake imeneyo kukanyowa zinthu za ziii! zopanda mchere.

  123. A Kapito akudyetsani chiyani? INU siaja mumatsogolera ma demo mbuyomu? Yambani mwabweza zili mkamwa ndi thumbazo ndiye muziwadzudzula bwino anzanuwa.

  124. Kapito has grown big headed such that he feels agitated when he sees young Malawians take the limelight. Wake up old grumpy man and supporter the young who want to take Malawi in a different direction unlike your fellow grand fathers who have failed the poor country for 50 miserable years.

  125. Ngati tili ndi mtundu wa chibwana ku malawi kuno ndiye ATuMbUka.

    Ngati tili ndi mtundu omwe suzalamulira dziko lino ndi omwewa AtUMbUKa.

    Ngati kuli mtundu wa nsankho kuno ku malawi Anganya ake ndi Amenewa aTumbUKa.

    Ngati kuli mbava zokuba,Zigananga,asizina mtole mtundu wake ndi umeneyu aMbwEnumbweNu.

    ATUMBUKA chonde yambani kukonda dziko lanu kuti amalawi tikhale ndi chikhulupiliro mwa inu,taonani kumpoto lero kulibe chitukuko komanso kulibe chipani cha mphamvu chifukwa cha zibwana,kuzikonda,undekha.

    Ndipo sizodabwitsa kuona joisi banda akusankha Brown Mpinganjira kukhala acting president wa pp chonsecho inu atumbuka mumati kumpoto ndi kuchipinda kwa chipani cha pp.

    All in all, God bless our president APM And MR SAULOS CHILIMA

    1. Where is all this coming from?

      This is the most idiotic comment one can make on this issue.
      Kapito is not Tumbuka
      CSO is not a Tumbuka gathering.
      The people in the South and Central marching are not Tumbuka

      So where do you get this rubbish?

  126. Akapito mukanangoti duh osalankhulapo chifukwa nanunso ndi activist kuti anzanu asazalankhule kanthu mukamazafuna kukapaka manyi ku water board akadzakupolaninso. Mukanakhala ena mukanawaitana adzinzanuwo ndikuwauza kuti bwanji mademo tipangire a NAC? musamaiwale kuti nonse mumadyera mom’mo. Tsono kulankhula ma demo ali amawaku timing yosokoneza anzanu? musayambe uchitsirutu atate.

  127. kapito ,where were u when ur friends targeted wrong pple ? thus b4 de annoucement.Mudatha amwene sikono ija ndiDiluu,,

  130. What do you expect from this man after he was successfully bribed to cancel his own advocated for demos?

  131. Mr. Know-it -all (Kapito) how would you feel when your Mr. Kapito organizes a demo and some CSOs attacks you and describe you as being used and overzelous?. Lack of respect for others amounts to stupidity Mr. Kapito and this exactly what you are displaying here. What happened to the philosophy of respect for other people’s opinion and the philosophy of self restraint Mr. kapito. You seem to be coming irrelevant by each passing day. Shame

  135. ODWALA KODZO AMENEWO AKUFUNA DEM ZAIIII BWANJI SIMUKAPANGA NTHAWI IJA BITI NDI GULU LAKE ADATENGA NDALAMA ZA BOMA MAGALIMOTO MUDALIKUTI INUYO ISAH

  138. Izi ndiye zayivutadi. Zivere ntolo ndiye ngati inu a Kapito mwatero ndiye palibe chabwino
    Nanga inunso mwadya nao ma banzi. Zinvere muntolo Wa ma Demo iwe.

  142. A Kapito akunena zoona. I respect this guy alot! Osati a mbwenu mbwenu ofuna kupha ntchenche ndi mfuti. Timothy Mtambo & Co mbuzi za anthu.

  143. Kapito organised demos last time but few people attended. Just few months he organised marching against BWB but he was given a yellow bans and closed his mouth. I think Kapito should shut up and see what his collegues will do.

  145. Demostrations, demostrations for what zauchitsilu zokha zokha. Bravo Mr. Kapito you are interigent and wise zisiyeni zitsiru zo zichite zi anthu zopusa, zasowa chochita.

  146. Kapito is one of the best Malawians who love their country. He does not support any government and does not receive bribes. He is a true Malawian. Enawa ndi mataifa kumawawona bwino.

  148. Call off those demos. Listen to the voices of reason your fellow CSOs have aired out. You will not be stupid when you call them off, rather you will be more stupid if you insist of going ahead with the demos  to realise that only yourselves and not even your wives and children are in the streets to demonstrate.

    I implore you to call off those demos today.

  149. Kapito has scores 10/10 after alerting MERA about the fuel issue. This is the activisism we want not working as pressure groups. Mtambo is a disgruntled man who needs recognition. But mind you are digging your own grave.” If you are digging a hole for somebody to fall into, make sure its not too deep incase you yourself falls into it”

  150. Is this Kapito guy not the chairperson of Southern Region Water Board? Was he not appointed into the Board by ……? What would you expect to hear from him?

  151. Hehehehehe kodi anthu alimbikira zokayenda pamsewu? Zaka zisanu zikubwerazi mukhalira kuyenda kokhakokha…
