Blantyre vendors threaten counter protests Tuesday

July 28, 2019 Owen Khamula - Nyasa Times 28 Comments

Some vendors in Blantyre have threatened counter protests on Tuesday should the Human Rights Defenders Coalition (HRDC) go ahead to convene.

Vendors against the ongoing demonstrations 

Chairman of the vendors Chester Mwale said the anti-Jane Ansah protests negatively affect their businesses as people fear to go to the central business district.

“Our businesses are suffering because of these protests. They now have one choice; they should go ahead with the protests and face counter protests or stop them altogether,” said Mwale.

The threats by the vendors come barely days after the Inspector General of Police Rodney Jose and the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) asked the protests organisers to stop convening them saying they turn violent.

But HRDC member Luke Tembo has dismissed the vendors’ threats, saying they should go to police to complain.

  1. Poverty is indeed a problem some people know that this what I’m saying & planning to do is foolish but they still go ahead & do it. You think if you’re a real vendor & the people want to do demos & find that you’re the the obstacle what will happen. It means people will target the Vendors is that what you want?????

    Don’t think we vendors are fools. We are tired tikakudyerani kuti. When you come for Demos just know that you will end up going to Queens
    We are not joking ,enough is enough.

  14. Blantyre vendors up! Tiafinye makape amenewa. Chakwera udzabwere tidzakunyetse udzaone. Zopusa Basi.

  15. Vendors, you sound like cadets, so when you do your counter-demo people will come to buy from you? Tippex brains.

  16. We also have businesses which have been impacted by the demos. The fight for change is worth more for the future than the current losses.

    Change does not come cheap.
