Cadets petrol bomb UTM vehicle: Malawi political violence rears its ugly face
Some political thugs, believed to be the governing Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) youth cadets, have petrol bombed a UTM Party vehicle.
The vehicle was used by the party director of Women for Eastern region Shahida Hussein.
Hussein said the vehicle and part of her house were petrol bombed around 1am on Sunday.
UTM secretary general Patricia Kaliati, the party national organizing secretary Willet Karonga and campaign director Lucius Banda went to the crime scene.
“This is very unfortunate and we won’t fall back no matter how more they intimidate us . We will win,” said Kaliati.
There is an upsurge of political violence in the country ahead of the Constitutional Court sanctioned presidential election on July 2.
Malawi Police Service has come under fire, especially from opposition parties, civil society organisations and Malawi Law Society, for turning a blind eye to cases of political violence notably against opposition sympathisers.

Some political thugs believed to be DPP youth cadets……. Clearly shows no evidence! It’s just a belief. It could be themselves the UTM in their strategy to paint a negative picture of DPP.
DPP stop this Madness you will live to regret!!!!!! Stop provoking angry Malawians. Once malawians start reacting your space will be narrowed and you will be crashed!!!!! I was there in 1958, 1992-3 and I am still around and I know how Malawians react.
Violence is the only economic plan this tribalistic government has in place for the Malawian people. This Mulhako regime is at a desperate point even if Malawi goes to a civil war; Lomwes don’t give a fuck. The Mulhako regime feels like Malawi must be ruled by the Lomwe tribes and not other tribes or region. The best solution in this scenario is to split Malawi into three countries and let every region be independent. We can’t live together as one people. The DPP regime is busy rigging the elections and I don’t see any free and fair elections coming up.
I come from BLK. Zabodza izi. A Lucius agweruka Mano. Akakhala Akweni ndiye zao zinada kale kwa nkando
Has the bombing started again in Malawi? We need UN and African Union peace keepers as soon as possible before it is too late. I see Rwanda type of genocide coming.
I agree. Tiphana kukubweraku. last elections they did the same. Apa tiyamba kubweza
Anthu okanidwa inu. You have nothing to offer Malawians. Lucius Banda and Patricia Kaliati reached their expiry date. Accept that you are expired products on the market dumped by your own constituents.
Kaliati ndi Lucius ndi deal ine kwa mkando sikwathu Loma kaliati ndi mbambande anapita ku dera kwathu neither kumchitira kampeni amene simunavotere kaliati ndinu a tsoka mulibe mwadya otembereredwa mukudziwanso nokha.munatsata neale za tribalism mwangodzipweteketsa umbuli ndi umphawi ndinu NDIYE ndani akulu kamuzu antero.
Inunso achitsiru eti,we are talking about petrol bombed things not about personal hatred.Umbuli ndiovuta eti.
Lego don’t pretend to be clever and intelligent when you’re not! By tagging Joloza’s comment, one needs to understand that Jose was merely reacting to Joloza’s comment that said and I quote “Lucius Banda and Patricia Kaliati reached their expiry date!” and from nowhere you claim that the issue he is reacting to has to be on petrol bombed things not about personal hatred!! Zikugwuruzana? Do you follow and or know the meaning of tagging somebody’s message? Nde mbuli ndani? Awansoooooooooooooooo! Its you who is dull and full of hatred!
Iwe Joloza kupepera ndi ukadeti
Zaboza izi, expect more to come during the upcoming presidential polls. People sacrifices all they have just to paint a bad picture on someone. So nothing new…..
Politics is a dirty game, blame game, A circus etc….
staged like what Ntambo did to win sympathy. These parties UTM and MCP are building excuses in the run up to elections. They know they will loose the elections hence they are preparing their supporters with such stupid excuses. You managed to bribe the judges to rule in your favour but you can not manage to bribe the voters to vote in your favour. We all know that you have Nsundwe boys planning all these self inflicted arsons. One would wonder how Kalonga, Bonny Kalimdo, Lucious Banda and Kaliati found themselves on sight within minutes of the incident. This was a purely staged incident.
This kind of brutality is uncalled for. We all Malawians, and need to exist and live peacefully with each other regardless of our political affiliations. And this point I blame HRDC for making Violence a new norm in Malawi.
Dpp thugs at work. Come July 2nd, you lot and NTCHONA are packing.
Foolish idiots. Why u like fake news without evidence? Pantumbo panu fuck u!!!
This is enough evidence that you have no facts………………!! Kutukwanaku has displayed strongly the type of person you’re and significantly shows acceptance of defeat!
DPP ikulira , they are bad losers, and they know for sure that their days in government are numbered….
Kwa a Malawi wonse akufuna kwabwino pempho langa ndi ili, masiku amdima wa DPP atsala wowelengeka ndipo dziko lowala where every citizen will be treated equally and the rule of law respected by everyone is coming.
DPP’s plan is to intensify these attacks so that when the opposition retaliates, then APM should declare a state of emergency to stop the elections. Lockdown has failed to save them now they are using violence.
So my plea to the opposition is to avoid retaliation. And on Election Day do not fear but come out in large numbers to vote out this lomwe evil government.
And Once the people’s alliance is elected into government in July you will see the following things happening,….
30 day amnesty to all those who embezzled taxpayers money through all forms of cash gates during the past 25 years.
30 day amnesty to all Principal Secretaries to reveal the total number and names of all ghost workers within their ministry payrolls.
30 day amnesty to all MBC DPP cadet journalists to resign in order to make sure that MBC becomes apolitical
30 day amnesty to all DPP cadet police officers to resign to make sure the police force can serve all Malawians regardless of political affiliation.
7 days dateline to the police to investigate and charge all the police officers who raped and sexually abused women in msundwe.
7 days dateline to the police to arrest and charge the killers of Robert Chasowa.
All the money recovered from cashgates and ghost workers will be put in a special account to turbocharge the economy with the aim of creating 1 million new jobs.
Within the first month of taking government, the alliance will launch several public commission of inquiries to investigate the following,
– the murder of Mr Njauju
– the generator and fuel saga at Escom
– The maizegate at Admarc
– The K5 billion youth loan scheme
– The registering for underage voters by MEC
– The police ration scandal that so APM returning K145 million back to the so called good will donor.
– How the coronavirus fund have been used and under whose orders was Beam awarded K1 billion
– The government school land sale saga including the sale of the Livimbo land.
– etc
Will APM say anything, i think not. This is what happens to a country when the president is senile.
UTM moto kuti bui!!
Peter Muthalika is too old to be a leader. Peter is the worst idiot. Muthalika is a brute. Muthalika stinks. Muthalika is brainless. Chindere.
Mcp and dpp can do violence all day, inu a utm mufela za eni. I wonder how utm hates dpp but loves mcp. Utm is naive and will get hit because of mistaken identity. Utm can’t play mcp and dpp against each other that’s dangerous game mafana muvulale ndinu. Mcp and dpp are destined to do this forever, these two parties are here to stay.
Mcp invented petrol bombs when it petrol bombed house of journalist mkwapatira mhango in 1983 in Lusaka Zambia. The petrol bomb killed his two wives and four young kids aged 1-10 years. That the party utm has entered into an alliance with. Its the same party that beta dpp monitors in dowa. Could be Its chikwawa wing is now terrorising lower shire. That party should just be declared illegal in Malawi….
Dzikoli silambutako mind you there 17 million people no region is bigger than malawi no tribe is bigger than malawi warning to the tribes that think they are bigger than others.we are all equal.stop nonses.
Do not forget that the mentioned MCP is now in DPP eg. Dausi, Ntaba, Mphepo etc.
antu enanu ndinu opusa galimoto yaochedwa nde uzinena kuti ndi politics umaziwa ntengo wa galimoto kapena Basi kungosapota zipani mwaumbuli mbuli , can’t you see there is luicius banda pamenepo ukuona ngati licuis ndimasikini mpaka azipanga nawo attend zopusa zanuzo , ngati umbuli ukale nanu ndipo machende ako wanva osamangoyankula zopusa , unayamba utagulapo galimoto kuti uziyankula manyi akowo
Rubbish. How many vehicles did your zealots burn in 2019? Mac Hende wanu
Che Bauleni buying sympathy from who? Are you in Malawi or Mozambique?
I beg to differ with the reporter or those who reported the issue. To any qualified technician / mechanic will tell that is an electrical system had a problem. The fire is at the front where the engine and battery is. If the car was petrol bombed or torched, the whole car was going to burn down to ashes. Please stop making up things to appear as if real. We are tired of hearing rubbish. Who saw the cadets burning it .Ask any qualified technician, that can is electrical fault.. Stop cheap politics of accusing other people.
I totally agree with you
Those who wanted another election and went to the corrupt and incompetent judges to induce one should know what they were asking – VIOLENCE.
Very primitive politics by mafia dpp
But hear this you will not manage what you have started given your minority
Usually it’s not good to promote violence but since the Malawi Police Service has gotten as bad as its boss with Mwapasa at the helm we fight everywhere for motherland
Beginning of anarchy.
What proof do you have??? Nkhani za believed? Hearsay, no proof. Fotsek. This type of politics is old school. Trying to buy sympathy.
Which planet are you living in mr bauleni?theres clear violence here.
Ndiwe bakhadi phweeeeeeee 🦆
No brain bauleni such a waste it would be to argue with you
We have had enough proof of DPP thugship and we have no doubt that these r cadets if it were not they could have taken valuable items
