Ansah created this crisis, says Mtambo: All set for CSOs protests
The Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) operating under the banner Human Rights Defenders Coalition (HRDC) say all is set to hold demonstrations in Lilongwe on Thursday and Friday to force Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) chairperson Justice Jane Ansah to resign as the overseer of the elections governing body.
Ansah, who has since refused to step down, told the media recently that demonstrations organised by the CSOs are a mob justice that need not to be tolerated.
But HRDC chairperson Timothy Mtambo said Ansah should not blame anybody.
“Ansah is the one who created this crisis. People should not blame anyone, they should blame Jane Ansah for mismanaging their vote,” he said.
He said they will not relent to hold vigils until Ansah resigns.
“She should take herself larger than life that she can’t step down. She will go by people power,” he added.
The vigils on Thursday and Friday are following the one which was held two weeks ago with the same objective of forcing Ansah to resign for allegedly mishandling the May 21 polls results.
In the northern region, demonstrations will be conducted in Karonga, Rumphi, Mzimba and Mzuzu city while in the central region they will be held in Lilongwe, Salima, Mchinji and Kasungu.
In the Southern region, where president Mutharika scooped over half of the votes, protests will be conducted in Mangochi, Zomba and Blantyre.
The CSOs have since appealed to Malawi Police Service (MPS) to arrest anybody who will be found perpetrating violence and looting people’s property.
“We had a meeting with Malawi Police Service and we have assured them that the demonstrations would be peaceful. Anyone who will attempt to turn the situation into [a platform for promoting] anarchy and chaos would be arrested by the police.
“We are not saying that the people should not be angry, but we are saying that one can still express dissatisfaction without destroying other people’s properties,” Mtambo said.
Police spokesperson James Kadadzera said the law enforcing agency will always provide maximum security to peaceful demonstrators and that it will also move swiftly to protect people’s property whenever there will be violence.

Let us. Join hands to fight bad system.
Just hold on there Gift. It is not Justice Ansa who is causing this. It is you greedy, selfishness and hungry for power which I is driving this. You are mercenaries, at the end of it all you care about your survival only. Let me remind you two scenarios, It is you who got injunction against Salima – Lilongwe Water project. You denied millions of people from accessing portable water and instead people in Area 18 LL were drinking faces. You again chose to be quiet when Joyce Banda administration was involved in cashgate. If you claim to represent Malawians, is this the way. Today businesses shall be at stand still because you want Justice Ansa to resign. All this for what? Dont lie in our faces. One day you will be judged accordingly.
akupasani zingati kodi ?
munthu akanena zoona ndiye akupasani zingat? what a useless brain!!!!
Palinso zoona pamenepa. Ngati ndinu achilungamo kamphunzitseni Pitalayo
Had it been that “tippex” was used as was the case but the results favoured Chakwera, would the CSOs be demonstrating demanding the resignation of MEC chair? I for one don’t think so. These are politicians masquerading as CSOs!!
HRDC (Mtambo, Trapence, Tembo, Sembeleka etc, anthu inu mmatiimilira and we are VERY much proud of you. Its our everyday prayers that God should continue to protect you and your families. I have never seen anthu okonda dziko lawo, opanda dyera ndi ma skono, odzipereka ndi opanda mantha ngati inu. God should add more years to your years!
COunt me and alll right thinking Malawians out. I am very ashamed with these good for nothing Ntambo, Trapence, sembeereka Tembo etc. Why are you holding the country at ransom when the matter is in court? Mulungu will repay you severely for this
Pido zako izo kaya wadya za DPP kaya ukudya, zako. Ma vote munabera aja abwezedwa mukuona. HRDC is fighting for us voiceless people.
Mtambo keep the fire….we need more Mtambospec in this country! ! Leave these empty heads.
Your calling is to bring sanity. Lead us for this war.
Support ya a Lomwe anzangawa yodabwisa kwambiri komnso yopusa yosafunila dziko lathu tsogolo labwino! We cannot be supporting thieves just because we come from the same district or region, that’s senseless!!!!
Is there any difference with chewa supporting Chakwera…Headless
Ma CSOs aku Malawi ndi adyera. A Mtambo ndi anzawo adya za opposition. A matero amapereka pressure ku boma kuti liwapasenso chithumba. Likangowapatsa amasintha language. Mwamva akuti panopa tiyamba zokambirana chifukwa zoyenda mu mseu sizimathetsa mavuto. Ndizitsiru za anthu izi ma CSO. Iwo akudziwa chimene akuchita chifukwa ndi mmene amadyera mmenemo. Wopusa ndi munthu amene amangowatsatira chimimba kuno. Anzanuwa dollar ikulowa ku account inu mukutaya nthawi ndi kuyenda mumseu. Kukafika kunyumba kukaupeza umphawi uli chikhakire ukukudikirani. Sindingapange zopusazo kuononga maola ndi ndawala imene cholinga chake ndichoti mandevu wina akufuna akhale pampando azizilemeretsa yekha ndi ana ake munthu wamba akusauka kugona ndi njala. Anthu osauka muchenjera liti? Muzasiya liti kukhala makasu zinamatcheni zowalimira a ndale miseu yoti apezere chuma? Zikathamangani ine pakutha pa tsiku la lero ndikhala ndili ndalama zathukuta langa chifukwa ndilibe nthawi yosewera ndikuthandizira masomphenya a anthu ena. Ndili ndi nthawi yopititsa masomphenya anga patsogolo kuti ana anga azidya banja langa lipite patsogolo. No time to waste in the street. Time is money. Time wasted is never regained. Onse oduka mitu tikufunireni kuyenda kwabwino pa mseu.
Mtambo and Co
You must know anthu akutulikirani
You will have no people following you
Majority is not with you
Foolish Mutambo and co. You were spotted in Mangochi distributing MK15,000 to buy the youth to join your vandalistic mob justice. You benefit nothing idiots.
Kodi ma CSO, WHO ARE YOU REPRESENTING? yOUR WIVES AND CONCUBINES. wHO APPOINTED YOU ANYWAY. kUSOWA NTCHITO MUNGOYAMBITSA MA NGO KUTI MUZIWABERA AZUNGU. STUPID!
U know nothing and those creating bright future of future leaders
Mr Mtambo are you a Politician or an activist? when people are quite doesnt mean that they are stupid, the NGO you chair had an independent polling monitoring centre which approved the results as fair and credible and you appended a signature of approval as its Chairman. Between you and Justice Jane Ansa who is in the right? soon GOD will judge you. Please try to love your country, if you want to be famous try to do other things rather than planning and inciting people to destroy Malawi, these elections come and go, one day the person you hate to the core will step aside according to the constitution and someone will continue with the process, for the sake of peace and continuity stop this Nosense, if not GOD will embarrass and punish you,you are not bigger than Malawi. We know the discussion you had before elections with a Politician
Peter brided jane asah so pls mtambo is doing right way for future leaders
Ndiye ngati anapanga mismanage election why did you sign that the elections were credible? Muoneni kuputsa ndichibwenzi chako wayandika nachocho.
Zauchitsiru basi cso cso za ziiii.
Koma you CSOs do you know what it takes to be a Judge and of Appeal for that matter? You have to practice for about 15 years as a lawyer of repute. Nde wina angochoka uko ndi chipwembenene chake ali Ansah achoke! Go and bath in acid akuluakulu coz Ansah is going no where. This standoff will take as long as that of Jesse Kabwila’s Academic Freedom saga. Mutuwa nawo mademo anuwo. APAM ndi a pioneer aja ankanenanso choncho pano ali kuti?
Uyu ndi APM the peoples’ president sakangana ndi munthu ndiwaphee koma akudziwa chomwe akuchita.
Ena dzulo mpaka amvekere ngati sachoka awona “mbwadza”, zoona aMalawi. Munthu sanapezeke olakwa inu mwapanga kale mob justice judgement. Ndetu munthu wina afe chifukwa chaziwawa zanuzo ndithu azabweretsedwa mmakwanu mukamuike kumanda komwe mmafuna apiteko.
Why do you want to destroy the economy Mr Mtambo? Mabizinezi since 21st May sakuyenda tikhalire zokhazokhazi chifukwa choti munthu mmafuna analephera koma ndiokha amakanirana ma alliance.
This country, I don’t know.
U are devil mr look how pple suffer in malawi bcoz of dpp leaders leads corruption
Mau, mau awa. Tingoti wawa wawa.
As a Bishop she would have resigned with integrity wether she has any wrong doings or not during her tenure but the main reason stopping her from doing this is fear of “jail” if Election Fraud is the charge! Those documents needs to be swept under the carpet as Malawians mafias do! Mass Vigil at her house/Office if legal would be the only option cause the thought of “jail” makes people tip-ex results, quickly swore in, corrupt the weak minded, greedy and ignorant ones to abuse the law enforcement cause Malawi is a lawlessness state.
drake and mnthalilenji above are talking nonsense. I am with you Madando. We have soon graduated from on of the poorest to supidiest and corrupt minded country on earth because of the myopic thinking of pple like the drake. Zopusa basi.
Komande ci CRISIS zomwe has never happened in the history of mw. Ndowe matuvi ,mpwelele waculuka
WE ARE GOING ON THE STREET FLAT OUT NO FEAR NO REGRET TILL THAT DEVIL ANSAH STEPS DOWN, AKAPANGA MAKANI OSASIYA AWONA MBWAZA
Dr Mrs Jane Ansah sadalakwise chili chonse. BUT KNOW THIS YOUR TICKETS TO HAGUE ARE READY TO INTERNATIONAL COURT OF JUSTICE. ndalama munadyazo bwezani
My point exactly….
Mungozivuta. Mwasowa zochita.
Wasting time. Demand electoral reform from parliament
It will never work. Search me!!!
AKUPANGA RETIRE UYU!!
these gay rights campaigners think this country belongs to them. They advance personal agendas and make them look like national interest. This country is not governed by gay rights campaigners who think they are more Malawian than us and think they can remove anyone from any position whenever they feel like doing so. We understand that there are grievances with the way how elections were conducted, however, they way how these Mathanyulas are handling the situation raises more questions than answers. Giving these devils a space is the same as accepting homosexuality. They are trying to buy people’s sympathy through the election grievances but their ambitions are more than that. People aren’t seeing this today but you don’t befriend the devil. Let Chakwera and Chilima lead the demos and not you sons of the devils. Ife za umathanyula ku Malawi kuno takana and oimilira zofuna zathu si inu; alipo ambiri mbiri oopa mulungu amene angathe kutiyankhulira not you
So Mr mtambo, which merchant shops are on your hit list this time?
Your Ass
On the contrary, it is not Justice Jane Ansa SC, who created this. It is your greedy for power and favours that is driving this. Don’t lie in our faces. We know you better. As a reminder, you are the ones who got injunction against the Salima – Lilongwe water project, a good development which could have seen millions of people drinking and using safe water. You are the ones again who choose to stay quite when Joyce Banda administration was involved in Cashgate in 2013. So stop your nonsense and go to hell.
Mr ndede Jane Ansah messed up the elections. Why did she allow tippex to be used?
As a country we have turned to be a laughing place to live
1 Poorest country
2 kumwa madzi abibi
3 black out
About Salima Lilongwe water project I don’t support it.
1 as a country we don’t have power to pump the water
2 we don’t have the money and forex to buy the required equipment
3 I feel it’s illogical to let water run to the lake and pump it back to Lilongwe
The easy and cheap way is to dig a dam in Lilongwe or somewhere around and catch the water before it runs to the lake. This will use gravity to supply water to the city and it will be cheaper for every one and the little energy could be used somewhere. This is supported by people who love Malawi not okuba
