Atupele seeks investigation on Machinga fracas, visits the victims
President Peter Mutharika’s running mate in the forthcoming fresh presidential election, Atupele Muluzi on Wednesday took a break from the campaign trail and visited people that were shot during the whistle-stop tour, Vice-President, Saulos Chilima held in Machinga district last week.
Chilima, who is UTM president and running-mate to Lazarus Chakwera of Malawi Congress Party (MCP) for Tonse Alliance had a rude awakening last week Friday when his convoy was blocked by po thugs allegedly e sponsored by DPP-UDF alliance.
The situation turned ugly as some people were injured due to gun shot at Umbwa in Traditional Authority Kapoloma in the district
Speaking when he visited the people on Wednesday, Muluzi said he is saddened with the shooting of two boys and the woman who was affected by the teargas.
“Let’s protect our people during this time of campaign. As leaders let’s show love and condemn any form of violence,” he advised.
Muluzi asked for investigation about the matter and pledged to support the victims for proper medical treatment.
Before visiting Machinga victims, Muluzi visited and console the families that lost their relatives that killed six people in Ntcheu on Monday.
Five people died on the spot when a truck collided with a water bowser, a sixth person died at a hospital.
Eastern Region Police Station Spokesperson Joseph Sauka confirmed that it was Machinga Police Station who fired teargas to disperse the group that had blocked the road.
According to Sauka, he insisted that there was no gun shot by Chilima’s bodyguards on the day the Vice-President was blocked from touring Machinga.
“One person was injured by the teargas canister and was treated as an outpatient at private clinic,” he said.
A hospital official at Machinga District Hospital also told the local media that no person with bullet wounds was treated at the hospital.

Don’t fool people you are in alliance with DPP in order to protect your father not serve Malawians.(Sinanga khoswe akakhala pa nkhate sapheka )
He should invite investigate his father who ruined Malawi economy by selling all govt owned companies
Very poor PR stunt!
The Tambala family in Lilongwe are going through unbearable loss, pain and suffering after your boys petrol bombed their house in the middle of the night……… they could use your help and not the would be assasins that you visited!
uyambe investigation ya Matafale ndi Chasowa
I would not be surprised if this young man is the next President of Malawi and quite soon. He is a good man and genuinely opposed to violence. I would support him!
Good support him at your own peril. He is finished come June 23.
The boy is lunatic, I don’t understand the essence of his argument. The police already cleared SKC, what kind of investigation do you want now. I think he is fucked up – all the tricks have been exhausted.
He’s an idiot.
Trying his level best I guess, kuti awoneke ngati a very concerned fair person koma kungowina……basi u will not even see a shadow of him in such matters, azikangokhalira kuba basi. Malawians chonde chonde don’t fall for this nuisance, for a start he ran off to china nvr fought for the truth like SKC and Chakwera did, just came back as an opportunist. 2 if at all he is a concerned person how come he nvr said anything about the area 24 petro bomb….?
Atupele is just showing us how stupid and tribal he is.How many cases has he visited of this nature?Just because they are coming from Machinga then he went to visit them.Why he did not go to see the Tambala’s family in Lilongwe?Lets not be fooled we Malawians with this type of stupid politics Atupele is showing us here.
Wanted to write the samething Lego u have done so let me say big up man
Atupele is a dirty politician. What investigation is he looking for? I thought the police investigated the matter and reported to the nation that no person was shot by them? This Atupele Muluzi guy is just a dirty politician.
Atupele is indeed a bastard! We have had so many cases requiring investigations but how special is this one?
MARUBBISH
When are you visiting the family that your boys petrol bombed in area 24….
When are you visiting the women that your cadet police raped in msundwe and mbwatalika areas?
When are you visiting the journalists you stoned in phalombe just a few weeks ago?
When are you visiting matafale family, mr Mayaya, Kalonga stambuli family, Robert Chasowa family, Njauju family, the 20 July massacre victims…….just to mention a few…..
Those people you are visiting in machinga should be arrested for blocking the road and for being involved in politically motivated violence just as you arrested 100s of people in msundwe area within a few hours.
You see Atupele, your childish politics will not take you anywhere because it is so divisive…..if I were you I would just stick to issue based campaign and avoid all cheap propaganda because it just shows how dumb you are.
It is no wonder that despite living a privileged life and attending the best schools here at home and in the UK you had to buy your degree certificate because you were so busy partying and dancing mbwiza ndi zidzukulu za a tsamunda instead of attending classes.
Those people you foolishly visited are criminals and law breakers, and most of all they are attackers, then who should be protected here? Visiting them is one thing but talking such rubbish says alot of you as a human and a leader, that’s why i and many other malawians won’t waste our vote on you.
You were in the north where majority don’t like or support your party but you campaigned freely with no single incident like the one Chilima faced-off in Machinga, that’s what you should teach those savages of yours including Fyness Magonjwa.
Selective visitation simply to score political points! Paja ndi oyenda mmaliro ngati ababa kkkkk
Tonse alliance boma 23 June is loading!!!
Atupele, can you also investigate the Ndirande shooting – that happened on the day when Nyapapi presented papers?
Stop this propaganda. When you were in the north why did you not visit relatives of people who were shot duly the July 20 massacre by your alliance partner? Use your head when doing things. This country will never ever be ruled by you . Two families that have caused untold misery to malawians.
Foseki
Go and visit Nsundwe women who were Raped. Go and visit the Tambala family and and console the remaining family who were petrol bombed by cadets of DPP
The person incharge of that area needs to be blamed for alluring innocent people to stage up an social injustice operation.
The investigation will stop right there within the vicinity of the incident area. It takes only one or two weak-minded people to organise innocent people to do this using the smell of money handouts.
Up Malawi 🇲🇼
Bebe, you should be investigating the culprits who wanted to assassinate the VP of the Republic of Malawi?
I really agree. Why not talking of investigating thugs who wanted to take the innocent life of the country’s second in command?
Sinnawone chimbuli ngati Atupele seeking voters sympathy because his father stupidly used poor people to block Chilima entourage from campaigning? La 40 lakwana mbuli zonse mumva madzi. Dont run away from justice and truth. Your hypocrisy will dealt you a heavy blow come 23 june! Cowards!
Chilima and Chakwera do not care about Malawians.They just want power at all costs. They will say and do anything to get elected
Kagwele uko iwe osaphunzila beware of 23rd June 2020
Ai bodza
Atupele go and visit job seekers who injured
Why is it that u don’t analyse every article before replying?sukudziwa kuti umawonetsa uchitsiru wako pa mbalambanda? A police anena pompa zomwe akufuna nd yet iwe ukunena za chakwera. Zikugwitizana chani apa?
