You stupid minibus drivers, conductors and touts, just stop driving the minibuses if you cannot maintain law and order. And if you don’t drive, you will fail to steal from owners and you will not drink n’kalabongo resulting into peace on Malawi roads…..kkkkkkkkk
Nanuso a yosefe mateyu ….nanga zaku delebeni zikugwilizana pati….kkkkkk kufuna abale aziwe kuti muli ku south africa….kusenza mabelo amabulangete.
This will enrich traffic cops it will encourage corruption. Traffic cops will overlook most punishable offences in pursuit of bribes. Officials have not thought this through. Our police officers have never enforced the laws efficiently they are there to fill up their pockets. Deal with that first or else the laws are a waste of time
Countrymen, Let me advise police that if not handled properly, this matter is likely to catch more fire as operators in other districts may want to join in the protests. There is need for the police to exercise precaution in all decisions that they make on this slippery matter. To policy makers, let me advise that time has come for the nation to stop copying policies just for the sake of doing it. I have a strong feeling that the multi-party dispensation is proving a failure to ordinary Malawians because successive governments have been experimenting too much. The UDF government… Read more »
I am sure this is a golden opportunity for Malawi Railways ( or whatever you call yourselves these days ) to introduce commuter services between Blantyre and Limbs, particularly at peak periods.
Regulations governing mini bus operations have been there all the time. The problem is enforcement and I think the traffic police are also to blame especially considering some bus owners are police officers.
you need to grow up some of you. mukulira za kundende instead of thinking kuti one wachibale wanu azamwalira pangozi becoz of these fools of minibuses not following regulations. Thats a good move. bravo!!!!! mmalo mo sangala kuti atleast road accidents will be reduced. amisala inu eti
Malawi desperately needs a proper transport system in the form of buses and trains. Minibuses are an absolute menace on the roads and they clog up city and town centres. Apart from being unsafe and dangerous, how many of their drivers have actually passed their driving test without bribing the examiner? Good roads and a well regulated transport system are an essential piece of infra-structure necessary for Malawi to progress. Politicians need to get their act together and do something about the transport system in Malawi. Of course it doesn’t affect them as they are driven around in big, fancy… Read more »
Inu Abale, there was time when similar issue came up again in Nyasatimes. I replied that the stupid move came with Bakili Muluzi where he liberalized business operations. Ndiye ma MP ndi ambiri a mijomba bought minibuses. These are the people samva malamulo because this president messed up everything. In Zimbabwe, in 2005 this minibus nonsense happened , but the MP of the City Constituency moved the Parliament and Comrade Mugabe ordered ZUPCO to order 15 Seat Minibuses. to ply in Town. These nonsense guys were kicked out. Zomwezi ma MP ku Malawi small minibuses business ndi Mbuli za mijombazi.… Read more »
Who is protesting? Mini bus owners or mini bus operators(drivers, conductors, touts)? If its operators, just leave them like that, they will return to work within five days – those chaps live from hand to mouth, they don’t sustain their expensive and reckless lifestyles from their wages. If its owners, call them to a round table and let them propose measures that will ensure commuters safety and comfort, and of course instill discipline in their workforce. Its only President Bingu who knew how to treat these guys right…..ignored them. In two days, they were back on the road with no… Read more »
