Activist Trapence under attack for criticising Malawi churches over pro-life march
Centre for the Development of People (Cedep) executive director Gift Trapence has come under attack for criticising the church on the use of children during learning hours in the recent protests.
The Episcopal Conference of Malawi and Evangelical Association of Malawi led protests against abortion and same sex marriages attracted learners who were in school uniforms in Blantyre, Lilongwe, Zomba, Mangochi, Mzuzu and other districts.
This annoyed the Cedep executive director Trepence who said this was against the very notion of protecting the family which the church leaders were preaching.
However, some sections of Malawians have attacked Trepence on social media.
“Cedep knows that their financiers on same sex marriages wont pay them anymore,” writes Benson Mhango.
Kondwani Zulu describes Trepence crusade on same sex marriages as cashcow.
In his statement, Trepence says what baffles Cedep is that the church leaders involved the children during learning hours to advance their agenda.
“This is very unfortunate and disappointing especially from leaders who claim to stand up for the family. It must be emphasized that among the basic and fundamental human rights of all children is the right to education,” he says.
Trepence says if the church is indeed to protect the family, then it should make sure that children remain in school learning so that they can contribute to the development of the nation and sustain themselves as they grow up.
“It is hypocritcal to say you are protecting a family at the same time violating the rights of children. You dont protect the family by recruiting children into demonstrations during learning hours,” he said.
Added Trepence: “This is hypocricy and selfish behaviour that destroys the family rather than protecting.”
Church officials were reluctant to comment on the matter but Victor Mkorongo, writing on Facebook and participated in the protests said no child was coaxed.

Satanist Gift T.
Its unfortunate you are being against God because of your leader, the devil.
Watembeleledwa and you are for the Hell, JA’NA or Jahena, kumoti
Gift akuyenera kumasulidwa kuti alandire Yesu. Mwina ambiri simumudziwa. Ali pa Chanco in the 1990s anali mwana wosauka koopsa. Mwatsoka panali lecturer wamamuna wachizungu amene amagona naye ndikumamupatsa zosowa zake. Amayenda tang’atang’a ameneyu after being abused on dailly basis by Dr. K……. All of a sudden tinadabwa kuti maniwa apeza chithumba ndikumaphaka life. Munthuyu ndi homo not out of choice.
Heaven and hell are NOT real, only idiots believe in such nonsense! Women need to have a choice and get a safe abortion and all gay people have a right on whom they can love and have sex with! Religion is the slavery of the mind, its gullibility with a halo and anybody who follows it really a moron.
Can someone by the name of Gift Chimpanzee reply here. From the look of things he is defeated for his savage Sena mind has been folded into the very as hole that someone fucks him.
Gift a beautiful name but the owner a sinful man. Why are you worried with children education when you advocate for them termination at conception? Ain’t you more hypocritical than the church you are accusing of hypocrisy? If all of us choose to marry our same sex colleagues and all pregnant women choose to abort their pregnancies would you talk about children in school? Afterall the issue is about abortion and same sex marriages not education and keeping children in school. You remember pupils are also human beings and have the right to participate in demos. Isn’t paradoxical that you are now advocating for their education when you are the staunchest supporter of their obliteration. Bwana Gift heaven and hell are real after life destinations. Repent now.
zikanakhala zochita involve ana asukulu ndiye kukanakhala chipwirikitu, Trapence yonso akudziwa akuchitira dala sakufuna kuvomereza chabe iyo
Gift Trapence is a confused person.
Shame on churches! and well done Mr. Trepance for telling nothing but the truth. Malawi needs abortion to be legalised and most people are in support of this except the bigots who refuse (1) to accept that women and girls are already aborting pregnancies and the government is just trying to provide safe abortion and (2) government needs to stop wasting money treating complications women and girls suffer as a result of unsafe abortion. And the priests who were matching know nothing about pregnancy whilst the reverends on the demonstrations do not know how to look after children – feed, bath, care etc all they know is to have sex. It is women who take this burden and responsibility of looking after children whilst men are on the run. The women and girls foolishly demonstrating with the churches don’t realise that men control ‘them’ through sex and reproduction. CEDEP is doing well. Continue the struggle until this bill is passed!
You DO NOT fight the Church bwana Trapense. Please please chonde take my word. I rest my case.
A Trapence Bambo anu akanakhala a mathanyula mukanabadwa inu?
Gift Trapence had it been your mother aborted you, would you able have life to talk
trush as you are doing. Iwe ndiye ukufuna moyo? anawo ndiye ukuganiza kuti
sakuufuna moyo? May be your mother was very stupid for not aborting you coz I gues
when your mother conceived she got seriously sick but she never thought of aborting your
and now look at you pity you.
Priests don’t want women to abort because they know there will be less abandoned or orphaned children in orphanages for them to molest, these are filthy pedophile
Why is Gift Trapence seems very incompetent and only greedy for money that his financier give hi
he gets from immoral promotions. Who does he think he is. By the way are
you married Gift or are you a GAY. I suppose in all fairness you seem to be
a very lazy person entangled in malpractices such as .
questions Giff, do gays or lesbians bear children? If not why are you concerned
with those who mobilized the children to participate in the “demo”. Stop being
nonsense before it is too late or else you will see the worst side of us”MALAWIANS” okey
Mr Trapeze Chimpanzee. I think zakulakani. Inu mwakanika kupanga ma demo alekeni anzanu they were successful. Last I heard you were a Seventh day adventist. Which seventh day are you? Ma rights a mahomo anuwa mutenga nawo matsoka. It is clear you are an opportunist eating money based kumatako. Think again Sir. You a pathetic sorry arsehole.
Which church do you Mr. Trapence? Shame on you
why should we always listen to this so called trapence thing? Who does he think he is in this country and before God? Mr. Trapence, where were you born and is your mother alive? I wish I could see her. If Malawi will not develop, its not because of these useless politicians only but because of idiots like you.
I loathe it big deal to hear someone from my own country, during my life time advocate for unnatural and stupid things like you are doing. You could be earning an honest living if you left the whites alone. They will use you and dump you at an appropriate time. You wouldn’t want to get a curse along with your posterity………..would you?
ATRAPENCE YOU WANT TO QUARELL WITH THE CHURCHES YOUR DYS ARE NUMBERED WATOPA KUDYA MAKHOBIDI AUSATANA OSAGWIRIRA NTCHITO MZAKO IZO
What do you mean?
The children came on their own while the march proceeded, no one coaxed them. Get your facts right and stopeddling lies. The children were from Chimutu CDSS/primary which is on M1 wayside
Trepence, just eat your dirty money or find something else to do to save your face.
Mr. Gift Trapence
No child was hired to march. Just accept that you have failed to turn Malawi into Soddom and Gomolah. If I were you, I would have just repented for advocating evil doings in this county.
Repent Repent Repent Mr Gift Trapence and all your supporters for this is the only chance that God has talked to you. God is only keeping you to repent thats all.
Right to education for aborted children I think. Which comes first between life and education Mr Trapence?
