CCAP Livingstonia Synod backs  stay away protests: ‘Day of Rage’ this Friday

March 26, 2020 Judith Moyo - Nyasa Times 17 Comments

Livingstonia Synod of the Church of Central Africa Presbyterian (CCAP) has  endorses the  plan by Malawi Congress Party (MCP) and its alliance partner, UTM  Party, against Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) chairperson Jane Ansah and other commissioners  to step aside  as  the court declared them incompetent to manage an election, but are proceeding to do just that.

Reverend Nyondo: The continued presence of Justice Ansah and the current commissioners in MEC is unacceptable

MCP and UTM Party have organised ‘The Day of Rage’ protests this Friday to exert pressure for the adamant group of commissioners to go.

Livingstonia Synod has since  declared  Friday a ‘Day of Rage’ holiday to allow people stay at home.

The synod’s general secretary, Reverend Levi Nyondo, told Times Radio: “ This Friday  is going to be a holiday for the synod. We want to show that we, too, are not happy.

“In fact, what the President [Peter Mutharika] has done by not signing the bills and not taking heed of the recommendations by Pac [Public Appointments Committee of Parliament] is very wrong,” he said.

Nyondo said President  Mutharika seems to be undermining the people’s demands.

He said Ansah and her commissioners should “ kindly and politely resign”

Nyondo said Ansah is confusing all Malawians from Nsanje to Chitipa.

MCP and UTM have also  instructed their lawyers to ask the Constitutional Court to determine whether it is lawful for Ansah to continue holding her position when the court and Parliament stated that she is incompetent.

A  joint statement from the two partners in the upcoming fresh presidential poll said: “Since we cannot hold street protests due to the threat of the Covid-19 virus, we are calling on all our supporters to stay away from work on Friday. Just for one day, we must remind Prof Mutharika and Justice Ansah that we are tired of them taking us for granted. They do not have power. Power is with the people of Malawi. And the people of Malawi want Electoral Commissioners they can trust. Let us show our rage on Friday, 27th March, 2020.”

  1. This bit of ndowe from whoever this so-called “Stawaway” is off the rails. This is bullshit nothing else you’re pushing our poor people into self created unemployment these people will lose their jobs remember we are in an atmosphere of vendetta.
    Don’t throw our people into a sinking canoe
    Maybe you’ve run out of solid strategic kick into DPP antics
    These people you’re fighting for won’t have anything to sleep on at the loss of their jobs the sacrifice is too massive for them
    In your case your sacrifices are buffeted by your private sponsors
    Can you share the funds with the people at the grassroots?

  2. Nyondo, please concentrate on the bible, leave the politics to the politicians. Unless you want to follow those who abandoned Jesus in pursuit for green pastures in politics, then you must resign and join them.

  8. Let Livingstonia learn from Blantyre Synod who are praying for peace in Malawi. A Nyondo akufuna udindo mu MCP_UTM alliance.

  9. A fake man of God, do you remember than you said you will pray until Jane Ansah resigns? Are you still praying so that she resigns?
    I thought as a true man of God you could have encouraged Christians to seek devine intervation during this time of global crisis by the name of
    coronavirus but instead you are encouraging people to stay home as if you will provide food for them. Yehova wakumwamba, muwakhululukire bambowa chifukwa saziwa chomwe akuchita. Amen

  10. bola kale tinalembedwa ntchito chifukwa cha maphunziro nanga mawa tikapanda kupita ku ntchito akatichotsa enafe tilibe abale tizaipeza kuti ntchito ina? imeneyo ndiye mwagwa nayo mukauze akansundwe asapite kuntchitoko ife takana

  12. kodi uyu ndi mbusa kapena lucifer, sadziwa kuti mau a mulungu amati osagwira asadye. awawa ndi temberero la livingstonia synod. uchoka liti ukuyipitsa mbiri ya synod

  13. We are always proud of the ever forthright Synod for not pretending…. Democracy does not come cheap, and in this day and age some people want to undermine the sacrifice of fore fathers for us to be where we are today.

  15. Abusa adyapo zao, Abusa ife takana mawa tipita ku ntchito simungadyese family yanga,ine toto ndakukanani.

    1. These people you are supporting, Muthalika and Jane Ansah have benefited from Malawi taxes much much more than you, the brainwashed supporters, people who dont know what they want in life. Those who are tired of this regime have ambitions in life but they are being blocked by the so called ruling regime because of their nepotism, corruption, tribalism, regionalism etc. Malawi is for everybody, that’s why taxes are collected from Nsanje to Chitipa. But beneficiaries of tax are people from one tribe or region. Malawians would not be crying if taxes were collected from Thyolo, Chiladzulu, Mulanje
      and Phalombe only. So, when you see people from all over the country, it is because their tax is being used to sponsor nepotism.
