Blantyre business magnate robbed car, calls for help
A businessman of Lebanese origin, Jalal Jawad, plying plastic manufacturing trade in Malawi’s commercial capital Blantyre Monday night had his car – a VVTI Corolla registration number MJ 6648 – robbed by unidentified armed robbers and has since called on Malawians to help him trace it.
Jawad, of ATC Industry Limited in Limbe, told Nyasa Times that his misfortune is his second in barely two months.
“About a month ago armed robbers followed me at my home in Mpingwe during lunch hour and took away money amounting to K600 000 [which I had intended to deposit] and my car keys,” said Jawad.
He said he had reported the matter to the police but his money has not been recovered yet.
“Today [Monday] I was going home again when they followed me to my yard, pointed their guns at me and asked for money,” Jawad narrated. “I told them I don’t have money and they took my car, phones and wallet.”
Jawad, who has been doing business in the country for the last six years consecutively but his brothers have been in the country for over 20 years, called on Malawians to help him get his car back.
“Please help me publish the story so that the Malawi government knows that my car is missing,” he said.
Much as he had reported the matter to police in Blantyre, Jawad said, he was optimistic that the country’s citizens would be of greater help in providing leads that would get his car back.
He can be reached on 0999406080.

The man needs to be helped. He is our neighbour. Remember the good Samaritan parable.
Uyang’ane wekha galimoto lako ife sizikutikhuza. Akanakhala wakuda nzanu posachedwapa ndikanakuthandiza. Munathawitsa misonkha agalu inu. Tizingokulandani tokha. Uisova
It is becoming too much now, everyday we hear about car theft what is going on in malawi
Money theft then car is too bad somebody behind it
APOLISI, shoot to KILL
Ma Lebanese kunzunza antchito awo.zachita bwino mbava zimenezo.
These syndicates involve the police who are supposed to combat crime and protect citizen, reporting them is just a mere waste of time, I don’t blame people who resort to taking the law into their own hands as it seem to continuously to fail them. Lets put all our faith to the mighty God for his divine intervention.
The gap between the rich and the poor is just too much……

These robberies will never end. When they get caught, they quickly get released on bail. They robbed me at gun point in the same. I helped police catch then after identifying their vehicle, but today I see them very free on the streets.
Our courts protect rights of the armed robbers and not the rights of the victims.
How safe is my life in the hands of these dangerous criminals. Ndikuopa dziko lathu lomwe.
Kd tosay jawad turn tomorrow your turn
They are your workers. They know you and know track your movements.
pa town
Iwe UJENI you are a fool. Who told you not to be a Lhomwe. Ndiye sunati, ukwiya kwazaka 5 ngati kuli kudana ndi peter
And Jawal is not a “business magnate”. A magnate cannot cry over a stolen corolla nor a K600m.
Blantyre is Mw commercial city, and not commercial capital.
Malawian the biggest thieves in this world and are quick at pointing fingers at others look at cashgate who was involved no foreigners it’s all Malawians so first put your house in order before you start pointing fingers at others .
iwe ukubakila a lwomwe, zochita ulibe?
Guys we must take this seriously. I have also lost some property within two months. The likely solution is to get armed ourselves. Police are at the moment overwhelmed. They lack basic crime busting technics for example finger print taking at crime scenes. Telephone companies are also two proud to provide call logs where necessary.
Comment plz malawians dont do that work hard than this plz.
Lack of jobs.Anthu akusowa zochita
pepa
Blantyre and other southern districs are at the mercy of robbers who are Lhomwes and easily disappear with their stolen items goods to Mozambique. Malawi police with the help of the army should look at this seriously even going to Lhomwe land and dig these robbers where they hide. Enough is enough please.
There is no tribal issue here as per your say. This only shows ur grave hatrage towards the Lhomwes. You must be a stupid fool who don’t use to reason before u utter your nuisance and nasty stupidity words.
Do you wanna elude that all these criminals in Blantyre are Lhomwes? Haven’t you ever heard of others from the central, North or Eastern regions. Should I start mentioning their names here? What a lunatic and idiotic moron you are.
Keep on crying you the seemingly son of prostitute and criminal while the Lhomwes are ruling over you and your fellow non Lhomwes.
All in all, GOD Bless Malawi!!!!!!
jawad these robbers are just poor Malawians just taking back what belongs to them, you foreigners have robbed this country several time’s, you dont pay tax ……musova
it doesn’t matter wether you are rich or poor, these thing should not happen. Full of bandits…and blame the foreigners for robbing the country….any excuse…do your research and find out who don’t pay tax..Mr
