Another DPP top official Zimba quits to join MCP
Deputy National Director of Field Operations for the former ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), Lonzoe Zimba has defected to the Malawi Congress Party (MCP).

He was officially welcomed by MCP’s District Chairman for Mchinji South, Mapitilo Chibisa on Saturday.
Speaking on behalf of other former DPP members who have defected along with him to MCP, Zimba said the current government’s Tonse Alliance’s philosophy needs collective support for Malawi to transform from poverty to prosperity.
“I have decided to take up another challenge, hence tendering my resignation. I was like a prodigal son, now I have returned to my original party. I am ready to render my full support to the current government,” he said.
Zimba said he has since written the former ruling DPP about his resignation from the party.
Meanwhile, MCP’s District Chairman for Mchinji South, Mapitilo Chibisa has said the joining of Lonzoe Zimba and other DPP members speaks volume of the trust they have in MCP leadership.
“This development explains a lot because when people are joining the party, it means the party is gaining weight on the ground, so we are happy to see Lonzoe Zimba and other former DPP members joining MCP today,” he said.

My comment will opposite 😂 😂😆 my is just the name tonse is for all of us meaning them too can be welcomed in tonse 😂😇 if you deny or chase them away then the tonse philosophy is not available.
Scavengers are abroad. Put this mercenary on the scale he needs the Tonse Tent for crumbs not that the Tonse looks to him for the definition of its philosophy. Watch the nomads you’ll clearly read desperation in the DPP hounds no more on the government payroll for being a tomtom drummer
Afuna akaoningenso kwinako. Madyera
WHY JOINING MCP NOW, LAST MONTH YOU CHEATED ADAD THAT IT WILL BE LAND SLIDE VICTORY WIN, AND NO YOU WANT TO CHEAT TONSE LEADERS.
PLEASE BWANA PRESIDENT AND YOUR VICE, WE MANAGED TO BEAT DPP WITHOUT THESE PEOPLE AND WE ARE BETTER OF WITHOUT THEM.
PLEASE BRING DIFFERENT TYPE OF POLITICS AND NOT THE OLD SONG OF ULADI CHANGE GOAL, KUTSAIRA, DAUSI,ETC
Change-Goal ali duu padakali pano, kulinga-linga za strategy yokuti kodi ajoina bwanji mu Tonse Alliance. Akuziwa kale kuti akangoyerekeza, atukwanika heavy .
Looking for money in the ruling government
Defectors are political opportunists. Should never be taken serious. I wouldn’t touch them
he look daft. shit him please
now Tonse alliance
osangolandila anthu wamba zisatelo . analikutiko? ayamba kumva zifwenthe kununkha.
sanathandize kusintha zinthu awa anali a dpp basi. watch these
This is childish behaviour. A genuine politician should be loyal to his/her party and its philosophy and ideals. How can someone be considered a serious politician when they simply abandon their party when it loses an election? Tonse Alliance doesn’t need such fair weather friends who are prepared to abandon their party just because it has lost power.
Dyera
Tonse alliance please be careful with these defectors. They are spies for dpp and dare giving them posts in the alliance. Please BIG NO. Its looks to be one of the strategies they have agreed in their party.

Joining of Lozo Zimba has irked die hard members of MCP and all people of Mchinji East. Lozo has joined MCP to save the Mduwa chieftainship which DPP handed over to his relative who is not titled to it because everyone knew that once MCP takes over Government ufumu wa Mduwa udzapita kwa eni a Sakweleka. Lozo had few had Sakweleka arrested by DPP Police to silence him. MCP leaders in Mchinji should have screened Lozo before admitting. Lozo is also a loan shark who has grabbed land other property from poor people in Mduwa area. Allowing people like Lozo who not long ago terrorised people in MC East is an insult to people of Mduwa. A group of traditional leaders and MCP members will soon write MCP National Headquarter to withhold Lozo’s membership to the party or risk
Does MCP need these people? They are coming now because MCP is government.
That’s not news. Campaign is over, Zimba and others joining MCP now? They won’t add any value at the time being honestly speaking
Wheels of Fortune 🚜
Useless greedy & selfish person he can’t even think. When has he realised that.
Why joining MCP now?
Where were they when DPP was having a prospect of winning the 23 June, 2020 elections?
These ‘defectors’ are no good to MCP, and it would have been wise not to welcome them into the current ruling party, but rather let them stay in DPP.
The truth of the matter is that these sort of people have a tendency of jumping from one ruling party to another.
In other words, kunena mosaphyatira, awa ndi aja timati ma hule mu ndale. Azibambo ongovulira munthu aliyense yemwe ali mu government.
Kapena kuti a fisi, ongoyendera ndikulondora komwe kukununkha ndowe za mbuzi. Anthu a dyera.
Chonde musawapatse ma position mchipanimo. Akusokonezerani zinthu.
What are they going to contribute to MCP? I wonder.
we dont need him. tangovota last month yeni yeniyi nde what has changed??? samalowa all this time bwa?? thats the rubbles we need to clear. he is not welcome ku mcp.
Tonse should not accept this poeple
ndaninso uyu
Useless person nothing you were doing in the party. U are lyk a rotten rat
I have said before when the DPP’s Regional Governor for the Eastern Region defected to UTM and I’m gonna say it again this is not what Malawians voted for if members of the former ruling party are allowed to join the current ruling alliance left, right and centre. Where is change in that? I would caution the Tonse Alliance against accepting these members in their fold. It will mean that we have not changed anything; In any event why did these members not defect long before if they believed that the Tonse Alliance vision and Philosophy is the way to go. Malawians are now active citizenry and if the Alliance is not careful their mandate will only be for a single term. We want real change and real change cannot happen with the members of the former governing party joining the ruling Alliance especially after they have perpetrated an economic genocide of staggering proportion.
Politicians like Patricia Kaliati who are still going out to conduct political rallies must be disciplined. In the The President must order them to stop it immediately because they are putting the lives of ordinary people at risk. What happened in Mulanje over the weekend was very disgusting when Kaliati was well protected with a shield and a mask while ordinary people had nothing but busy dancing for her in the Winter rain. Time for campaign is over and people now want Ministers to work to improve their wellbeing.If her boss, the VP canceled his meeting with CEOs in the North, why can’t Kaliati do the same. We want our Ministers to adopt a new norm of doing business as opposed to wasting time in political rallies. She has lots of files in the office which she must read and chart the best way to do government business.We don’t want to have a repeat of DPP style of doing business. The President must know that this is the outcome of recyling Ministers who have been in the rotten Governments in the past- there is nothing new they will bring to the new Government.
Musatinyase ndi nkhani za defection. Mxii !!
Political prostitution. When has he noted that the Tonse philosophy needs collective effort?
Alibe zochita awa atidye nawo. Real cadets stay with the party.
simungamawakane kulowa zipanizi anthuwa “ananyoza kwambiri awa!!!
Politics as usual. Now what is happening is that they are just changing the colour of their shirts. This is very concerning. Let us be serious, the calibre? The calibre.
People with no purpose in life, just wondering from one party to another. How long did you realise that you were a prodigal son.? Next time you will say the same thing.i wonder why such people are taken so seriously in the parties. They are of no substance just want to have bread and butter, no sense of direction, cannot add value to a party just a number and a portfolio to the part and themselves. Rubbish, not worth celebrating.
Who is this idiot? Lonzoe Zimba? Was he smuggling cement from Zambia?
Sad and shame for people of that calibre. Flip flop!
Your defection is diluting democracy. Malawi needs strong opposition. You need to emulate from western world countries and avoid serving your own personal interests for the sake of money.
Be politically mature and stay with DPP and hold Tonse Alliance to accountability for all its promises.
DPP /UDF is a strong opposition and needs to work together . People like Zimba one could describe them as opportunists and easily blown by the wind. Wreckers of true democracy!
musamaletu ku mcp ko zipani zimatha choncho ena amakhala ozaononga
If he is sincere and genuine enough; Zimba should have joined MCP two months ago. A dyela awa.
Ankolo awa azafa ndi katapira eish
KKKKKKKKJKKKK zayambika mukufuna mukabeso kumeneko tikukuonanitu
Mbwelera!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No no no! We do not need these people.Kenamva mumva Dausi wabwela ku MCP tonse alliance. Zibwana izi ndi zimene a Malawi safuna. What are they going to contribute? Anymore of this nonsense we will demonstrate.Just arrest them. Akuthawa ciani?
