‘Basop!’ Mutharika warns protest organisers over Malawi anarchy, lawlessness

October 18, 2019 Owen Khamula - Nyasa Times 59 Comments

President Peter Mutharika has warned he will severely deal with anti-Jane Ansah protest organisers whom he blamed for the anarchy and lawlessness rocking the country.

The Malawi leader President Peter Mutharika issues stern warning  against lawlessness

Mutharika said this in Chiradzulu during a political rally after he commissioned the Mulanje-Blantyre water project.

He said it was saddening to learn of people torching each other’s houses in Nkhata Bay, people burning fishing equipment for a businessman in Mangochi, students burning their own school in Thyolo among other examples of anarchy and lawlessness.

“This should stop. This is all because of these demonstrations, they are creating anarchy and lawlessness in the country.

“Let me warn you [protest organisers]. My patience is now wearing out. I will not allow this to continue, you will know me, basop, I will deal with you,” he said.

Mutharika said he wants peace in the country, saying Malawians should love their country because this was the only country they had.

He reiterated that he won the presidency during the May 21 election and his focus now is to develop the country for the next five years.

Mutharika however said his development agenda is facing setback from opposition leaders whom he accused of sponsoring destruction of public infrastructure to cause anarchy and lawleness.

  9. The most briliant Leader in Africa who is well focussed to the development of Malawi – I must encourage you Mr. President APM – NEVER BE DISCOURAGED BY YOUR ENEMIES they will always be there to frustrate your development ideas but be STRONG and of good COURAGE the battle is NOT yours it’s for the LORD. HE who appointed you will fight the battle on your behalf and ALL these ENEMIES you see today you shall never see them again, that’s what the LORD says. They shall come hundreds in numbers but they shall be scatered in different directions one by one. Mark my words this is a true prophesy GOD shall restore his PEACE to the Nation of Malawi and ALL those who preached protests, violence, robbery, demos, destruction, looting, sexual harrassment, killings etc shall be put to shame, and this prophecy shall come to pass very soon. Most people have suffered great loss of their property due to demos but God is in control and he is the one to make a revenge – how he is going to REVENGE only HIM knows – and him only shall protect you and make your ways successful. Therefore, NO weapon, NO demos, NO protests fashioned against you shall prosper – WHY??? because the Almighty LORD is with you!!!!

  10. Mr president peace without progress is worse than a war-torn Syria with good road network,infrastructure,a dream and an assurance of job once students graduate. Absence of war is not peace but might mean no resources to finance one. You were in America yourself; where the hell in US did you see politicians richer than businessmen and one state supreme than the other. There are good,schools,hospital and roads and even the president is put to task answering questions from set tribunals . You are busy appeasing some disgruntled political failures-they were here before you came to Malawi and nothing good has come from them apart from rhetorics on podiums and providing coffins during tragedies. Talk is cheap think of the poor in Ntchisi, Phalombe, Chitipa,Nsanje,Machinga and all other districts-this nation is rich only that you Mr president is selfish. When last did a government build civil servant houses and a hospital. This space is too small for grieving I hope our letters gets to you muzayese kudzutsa munthu wachikhalire pa msonkhano azayankhuleko….

  12. Mr Mutharika, as useless as ever. Completely failing to show leadership in a dangerous situation. Kumangolubwalubwa basi ngati cadet. Just paint yourself blue Sir.

  13. This is dictatorship at its best. We have rights which are inviolable. Who is Mutharika to say this? Most of us know him as a mere thief and a Mtchona who is a fortuneseeker.

  15. I just do not know what kind of clueless leader tipex president is this one? Does he have people on the ground? I mean does he gets facts before backing like a rapid dog? what happened in Nkhata-Bay has completely nothing to do with demonstrations just like in mangochi.I thought he would be talking of police officers who raped women at nsundwe thats lawness and he again keeping his mouth open when he has a case that is stupidity at its best.

  17. Dont be stupid Mr President up to now you dont know the cause of all the demos. If you fired your girlfriend Jane Ansah do you all this could happen around us.

  19. Chika peter munthalika kuchikamwa ngati muvuwu ,walemphela kulamulila ziko iwe just go back to your countly zakhuzana bwanji ndi a HRDC APA kusowa fundo

  20. THIS IS VERY STUPID
    WE ARE IN A WORLD OF DEMOCRACY
    GONE ARE THE DAYS OF INTIMIDATIONS
    YOUR DAYS ARE JUST NUMBERED

  21. Issuing a threat word will not solve anything wawa,but try to call all the concerned people to a round table and see way forward.This is not the time for threats but time for reconciling if you are a Leader enough.

  23. Foseki peter munthalika kuchikamwa Ngati mvuwu wakanika kulamulila ziko galuwachabechabe iwe zakhuzana bwanji ndimademo chilichose kumangoti HRDC

  25. Gwape uyuso, zikudzana ndi ant Jane Ansah za ku Thyolo kwanuko? Ingovomelezani wawa mulibe mphavu pa a Malawi. You see the statement you have stated here and I quote, Malawians should love their Country because this was the only Country they had. This proves that you are not a Malawian President. Man you came to steal and destroy our Country but we thank God that your mission is over, we are taking what is ours and you will pay a 100 times what you have stolen from poor Malawians, we know the works of the Devil is to steal, kill and destroy. You have destroyed our beautiful country but your time is over!!!!!

  26. Chimzude iwe eti wasowa zolankhura ndikuyamba kuopseza anthu lero? Mbuzi ya munthu Basop you ndi akubanja kwanu nonse.

  30. Zimvele muntolo, APM will deal with you. Should we say he is the person who sent the assassin to have an attempt on Mtambo’s life?

  31. Malawians are tired of political instability created by Peter mutharika by refusing to fire Jane Anssah

  32. Mr President, you will not solve matters with threats. I have been to Nsudwe as an undercover investigator, these people are planning evil for the country and if you are not aware, soon there will be blood shed in Malwi. Dont take the words of Chakwera lightly, he ,eans what he said that he will shed blood and Chakwera know we have a very weak army who are able to be used as gaurds to protect Ntambo as he conducts his stupid demonstration. Nundwe things he is doing right but he is reducing the army to mere security guards.

    1. Thinking you can provoke any reaction from the military by your comments? I though Mutharika is the commander in Chief of the Army?

  33. Clueless man. Who is lying to this man please?

    Please tell him the truth, that the Nkhata Bay torching, and Mangochi torching have nothing to do with Anti Jane Ansah demonstrations, nor politics for that matter.

    Tell him also that the Thyolo Sec Sch tourching was not related to such either. Shaaaa

  36. You mr Mbavaa is the sole reason the country is facing the lawlessness n anarchy. Just because you rigged the election and are now occupying the presidency unlawfully n illegitimately is the only reason, coz of you shielding your girlfriend Jane Ansah. Its common sense. Because of you n your dpp thuggery… all systems have failed in the country. Just get lost and all will be back to normal. Dont you get it you dumb ass. Get the f%ck out of our country, enough of your thieving

  39. Is Muntharika part of the team of 5 judges that he has already decided to rule the case in his favour?

    I beg to differ with this kind of behaviour as he is trying to influence the out come of the court case.

    No wonder these Judges are being protected by these Cadets Police.

  40. “Basop!”????? Mau otero samanga mudzi, munthu wamkulu!! For once, ngati bambo wapakhomo, chepetsani ukali.

  42. Please can I beg law enforcement agencies to urgently get to the bottom of the powers behind the current instability in our land.

    I feel there is a foreign element to what is happening currently, though have no evidence, but the acts are not done in a manner native to our land.

    Every day we are hearing of extremely concerning news, and it appears law inforcement agencies do not know how to handle it.

    May I beg all our leaders and heads of security agencies to give our nation’s security needs a priority.

    The current instability is very shocking and disturbing.

    God bless Malawi.

  45. Useless speach, what type of president are you, your not a good leader, good leader can’t warn angry citizens, instead of uniting citizens, nursing their wounds, ur busy telling the world your nonsense, shupiti

  47. A crook old fool. Which election did you win? Ohh you mean rigging? What a joke. This man is taking us for granted. The matter is in court yet he is busy clapping hands for himself.

  48. God help us.its stubborn vs stubborn and arrogance vs arrogance in the end the poor man wil suffer mulowelelepo ambuye.

  49. If anything happen to hrdc we have heard you Mr Peter mutharika that you will deal with them. Ears have listen eye to witness 💩🙏go for it 👍👏👏

  50. Mr President u r the person who is encouraging arnachy coz u r not listening to us your employers when we’ve been asking u to fire Ansah.

  51. The solution to that puzzle is easy Mr Mutharika; fire Justfire Jane Ansah not threats as all this is happening due to your arrogance & stubbornness! You behave like a Mr Know it all as you never listen to advice. How can you say it is not your responsibility to fire Ansah when it is you who appointed her? Are you afraid that she will spill the beans? Had you listened to the advice from different quarters, all this would not have happened. The problem is that you are being ill advised by your army of advisors, ndiye musova! Thesame Dausi is the man who destroyed Kamuzu.

  53. This guy is damn useless. Were students told buy opposition to burn school? How about fishermen? This all shows that the man is empty headed.

  54. The opposition thinks the jane Ansah issue can be resolved using violence mutharika on the other hand thinks he can use force to deal with the current political standoff. Tell me does this country have responsible opposition leaders and more importantly does this country have a president worth the title?
