Chaos in Mangochi: Two killed as Malawi Police clash with villagers over land for  Mota Engil hotel

February 5, 2015 Mundango Nyirenda -Nyasa Times 121 Comments

Two people have died and several others injured in Monkey bay where a vehicle belonging to Traditional Authority Nankumba has also been damaged by irate villages at Masasa in the lakeshore district of Mangochi.

Shoot to kill
Shoot to kill

Monkey Bay police has confirmed the development but could not give further details saying that they should be contacted later.

Masasa is three kilometers away from Monkey bay on the Mangochi-Monkeybay road and a thriving business place as there is also a road that leads to Cape Maclear on the opposite side. It is also not far from Ntakatataka turn off, a junction of Golomoti road.

One of Nyasa Times sources explained that Traditional Authority Nankumba went to the village to persuade the people to give in their land to the multinational company Mota Engil who want to build a 5 Star hotel and
Golf course, to the chagrin of the land owners.

“Yes, it is true that things went out of hand at in the afternoon and two people have lost their lives while several have been seriously injured which include the TA and the Ward Councilor because of the issue of
the land that is said that Mota Engil bought to government when the land owners are saying they do not know anything and as such are refusing to move out,” said a concerned citizen in Monkey bay Tuesday night.

The source disclosed that while the fracas involved the police, TA and Councillor on one hand and the villagers on the other in the evening the Malawi Defence Force moved in by camping in the area.

“People have been warned not to move around lest they face the unknown and there is great fear here and we do not know how the matter will be handled by the government.

“We have called our Member of Parliament to come and we are waiting for him to see how he will assist the people he represents otherwise life will be tough us as we will have nowhere to go and that our businesses will be dead with this forceful move,” added the source who denied to be named for fear of reprisals.

MP for the Ralph Jooma whose home is about 20 kilometers from the disputed land is in Lilongwe attending parliament and could not be reached for comment.

People of Masasa mainly rely on fishing and their proximity to the lake and main road makes their business thrive easily.

Mota Engil is the one that the government sold the concession to run the Lake Service whose headquarters is at Monkey bay.

It is however yet to prove to the nation that they can bring change to the sea transport in the country as the people who use this mode of transport are still having problems accessing reliable and fast water transport.

Motal  Engil has been in conflict with many villagers where they go in due to what many fill because of use of short cuts hence force follows.

The company is also alleged to be involved in corrupt practices that include purchase of state of the art vehicles to chiefs.

  3. MOTO IGOLA AN IMMORAL WORLD COMPANY . THIS COMPANY WORKS OR OPERATES IN COUNTRIES WHERE GOVERNMENTS ARE CORRUPT AND IT PROMOTES THE CORRUPTION ACTIVITIES MORE THAN CHINESES & INDIANS, NIGERIANS

  4. Land is expensive everywhere “except” in Africa especially Malawi. We need land ownership registration yesterday! You cannot have fuzzy ownership of valuable assets. Recipe for conflict… LOL

  8. REALLY? We have some Immigrant Europeans telling us to kill each other over Our Land, Koma anthu akuda ndife zitsiru sometimes. Izi ndiye zimbabwe yeni yeni. Motor ingle anyani nosne panyuero panu

  9. EVENTHOUGH THE PRESIDENT HAS POWERS, BUT APPROACH HAS TO BE THERE, THE MOVE WAS LIKE STEALING THE LAND FROM THE PEOPLE.
    BUT IN THE WAY IT IS , IT SHOWS MOST OF THE LANDS IN MONKEY-BAY HAVE BEEN SOLD PRIVATLY BY THE T.A. AND OTHER PEOPLE.
    SORRY CORRECTION WARD COUNCILAR IS NOT SERIOUSLY INJURED, BUT HE IS NO WHERE TO BE SEEN AS HE LEFT THE PLACE PRIVATIL BEFORE THE FRACAS STARTED.
    MALAWI DEFENCE FORCE JOINED THE POLICE IN TIME TO ASSIST THEM AS THE POLICE WAS OVER POWERED BY THE HEAVY SOUNDED VILLAGERS.

    GVT DO NOT DO SHORT CUTS, YOU SEE NOW YOUNG PEOPLE HAVE BEEN ASSAULTED, INJURED AND KILLED. SORRY MALAWI AND DPP.

  10. This is insane there is no way th government can sell the land without telling the owners….. apa nde kwatola anthu uchitsiru ths is our home land and no one will go anywea mxiw

  14. Kodi malamulo a Malawi amati chiani? Ngati tili ndi vuto ndi malamulo tikasithe ku Parliament. Malo onse belong to the president. Asakufuna asamuke apite dziko lina. Nobody is above the constitution. If the president decides to sell Blantyre or Mzuzu or Lilongwe to the Chiness so be it.

  15. From mining to land grabbing now. Amalawi titsala ndi chiani? Ana athu adzakhala ndi chiana in 10 years to come. Kodi mmesa malo ena amakhala amafumu, ena a boma? Nanga boma likungotengera mphamvu pali ponse bwanji? Ndiye kuti boma si anthu eti? But the few who have powers. I cry for my beloved country.

  16. Aaaaaa Malawi utsilu u think development will come with such attitude sorry ndithu let go of the land and let the hotel be built that’s how things should be !!!!

  19. Akuthamangitsidwawo akakhala kuti? alandidwabwanji malo pamene alibe pokhalapena? nanga tingamve bwanji zikuchitikila makolo anthu?
    ganizani bwino aMalawi tsikulina tizakhala akapolo dzikolanthu lomwe

  20. Mota is plain simply corrupt and now people are being killed to support the ongoing corruption. Let then build the hotel it will only be supported by government conferences no one else will go to a mota engil hotel what do they know about hospitality?

  21. mukadzamva kuti kuli fodya wankulu ndamene A DDP akusuta, A DDP Mudzasiya liti kuzuza anthu wosalakwa? anthu achoke pa mudzi wawo akakhala kuti? uwu tsopano ndi uchitsilu,

  26. Boma lifune kaya lisafune
    Hotel imeneyi simangidwa pano,wina akukamba zotukula area my foot,government supposed to consult us 1st and its our responsibility as the owners of the land to come up with the price worthy our land, not the government must offer us what they think it’s worthy
    This is our ancestral land and by doing that they’re leaving us destitute. If taking the matter to Court is what it takes so be it,we’re not docile like people from the Central region who ask how high when you ask them to jump
    We’re Mangochans

  28. Why dont u leave us this is our land no body is to detect to us on what to do with that land period if u want such type of investment give them land in your home area or at Ndata period

  29. Zingaambe kuiwalika nako kudwangwa anthu awiri adaomberedwa ndikufera pompo nkhani za malo zomwez.its now 7consecutive yrs akuzunzikabe no compasation no land.kumahi-courtko apitapitanso but all de leaders are illuminats,c now mangochi is crying,bushitgvt

  32. When it comes to Mota Engil am not suprised with the way they toy around with this blue regime, someone in blue is cashgating with this arrangement you cant just wake up and force pple out of their land which is their only assert, if pple in lower are clinging to their water logged land how about the this goldern sand land bring offers on the table if you want it Mota is most corrupt enttity of this centuary

  33. Mpatso read the story it says Mota Engil bought the land from the government and not the people. Do not look down upon Yao people. They are entrepreneurs and hard working people. For one to succeed is not a question of being employed and working for some organisation. You who despise the Yao, what have you got for yourself. You don’t even own a bicycle and was born a tenant and will die a tenant. With your education what have you done for Malawi except using your brains and education to milk the country out of money through cash gate. With your PHDs and Masters you cant invert anything but you are just Managers and administrators and yet you laugh at the Entrepreneurs of this country called the Yao people. Let me curse you in Yao. Mwajo chisilu kwabasi. Mpikene. And for information we Yaos are no longer illiterate as you think. We have stepped a gear upwards and we shall own and rule you for a long period to come.

  34. What’s wrong with building a five star hotel! I thought people would be fighting for compensation not refusing the land. If they move the hotel to Thyolo you start complaining! Anthu simuzatheka basi.

  35. Aliyense wa ku Mangochi nkhani iyi imunyanse. Zoona abale athu kuphedwa ndikuthamangitsidwa malo okhala awo chifukwa cha anzungu? Izi mzimene amakana J Chilembwe izi. Cry my beloved MH

  36. Remember the commander in chief is entitled to all these messes,he knows what it is it means he got pressure from what you call motor engil.This was simple issue at all if they consulted before,eventually someone is a widow or orphans now due to negligence,land dispute start small but can grow, believe me this is not the end we should expect avenge in one way or the other Mangochi is one of the most vibrant District in Malawi,in terms coordination you can not ask me you will agree with me.See my Name.

  37. These are people of Mangochi.Try to develop them they think you are cheating them. Isnt it that they will be compesated and or build better houses?Achawa amjomba koma mudakawauza kuti apite jubeki ndiye mukadagwirizanapo.

    1. Mphatso, what ever you call yourself. Masasa monkey Bay its not Mangochi as village And mukamati achawa I don’t think mukuganiza bwino. Am from there. Just imagine makolo athu anabadwila komweko infeso chimodzi modzi and lero mukuti anthu asamuke is that on? Zimene akukana Winiko zija ndizimenezo, Monkey Bay ndiyathu siyaboma lonse ayi tisiyileni eni akefe.

  42. Let the hotel finish it will be with full of evil spirits of the two person killed they will come in the rooms of the occupants every night with eyes behind there heads
    Mama i am not staying there
    Munaf Siku

  43. Malawi should go to civil war, for say about 2 to 5 years. May be politicians can start respecting the people of Malawi. Nkhondo yilowe pang’ono mwina a Malawi angachangamuke pang’ono. A Malawi ndife anthu opusa kwambiri. Zikuchitika mu Malawi kwina kulibe. Atsogoleri akubera anthu, akuzunza anthu, koma anthu amangodandaula popanda chochita. Malawians ulemu too much. People they don’t know their rights. Its a long way to go. By then continue crying as you are best in that department, crying and complaining. Boma la DPP sililemekeza anthu ake. Siungapatse munthu title deed pa mudzi wa munthu its wrong. Tsopano anthu amene akuwachotsa akakhala kuti. Komanso ntchito yimene boma likubweretsa muzapeza kuti anthu adera limenelo palibe amene adzapeza ntchito pa hotel yimeneyo. Hotel yimeneyo asayimange pa midzi ya anthu. Ndikulakwira ulemu amenewo. Ine ndikuti nkhani yimeneyi yipite ku khoti.

  45. Malawi belongs to Mota engil & malawians are foreigners what a shame.They have infested this used to be the beloved country with HIV now they want to finish us through the paper reformed police shame once again. We are still morning our flood victimes why don’t u give us a brake? timalizeni mutchuke ndinu ndi kudziwa construction kwanuko. kodi ntchito zomangamanga kwanuko kulibe? ZIMATIWAWATU. RIP abale athu inu.

  48. Villagers fight back n deal with those stupt chiefs who r involved n those present the company this land grab thing must end Immediately.

  50. Nozgani u must know that a policeman is also a human being what do you mean that you have no mercy when u hear that a policeman is killed? That is a barbaric sentiment. Mwa iwe mulibe umunthu, they have right to life too

  52. Vuto ndi TA Nankumba mbuli yamunthu amadziwa kuphika masikono ndi zigumu basi ndi amene akusokoneza galu wamunthu. Malo amagulitsa osawafunsa anuwake kungogulitsa kuseli. A amenso ndiye mbuzi zawanthu mukalondera chiyani mwayesa ku Drc eti? We are not moving out of our land unless u wipe us all. A mota ikuwalaka kuyendetsa kampani za sitima kodi i thought the hotel was earmarked to be built at cape maclear why changing? U D bi bi! Mwadya zaulele za motazo mukazibweza osagulitsa ndata bwanji. FOTSEKE!

  53. STUPID ACHAWA A KWA NAMKUMBA… ANTHU INU OPUSA KWAMBIRI. ACHAWA PAJA SIMUFUNA CHITUKUKO KOMA UCHITSIRU. LET INESTMENT COME TO MALAWI… ITS GOOD FOR MALAWI. NO NATION ON EARTH HAS EVER DEVELOPED WITHOUT INVESTMENT. INUYO MUPANGA ZIMENE AKUFUNA KUPANGA AMOTAZO? MKULIMA KOMWE KUKUKANIKANI APA…ZITSIRU. SAMUKANIKO. APANGE GOLF COURSEYO IFE TIZIKASERAKO GOLF. SINYANSI ZANUZO.

  54. That’s the problem with us Malawians stupid we are no sucess, we argue and make issues out of stupid things!!!!! Look around us take other countries as examples this is how development takes place by letting investors modernise with time, allowing more jobs,infustructure and education Koma Ife we rather sit in a mud hut and always hold on to the kasu

  55. The development is welcome….but the government must compensate the residents first! HANDSOMELY, not 200thousand kwacha or 500thousand kwacha….akufunika chipepeso chachikulu ndithu kuti akakhazikike mwamsanga kumalo atasamukireko.

  56. Why should people be killed. This is what is bringing the police in disrepute. People should revenge.

    I have no mercy when I hear a police officer has been killed or people have burnt down the police station. Police kill innocent. The death of the two innocent people will be avenged. Just wait.

  57. Am also concerned with it.
    Boma lathuli ndilopusa mpaka kupha anthu awo cholinga asangalatse alendo!

    Ngati amafuna kupha anthu,akanapita kwa Mfumu NSumbi bcs ndi omwe akukana kusayinira kuwopa kuti anthu awo angavutike.
    Kupheranji osalakwa?

  58. Malawians should start fighting capitalism. If you are not careful this country will be under foreigners. They will buy with all the land in the name of foreign investment.

  60. Malawi needs investment. We will never develop with this ancestral thinking. We will always beg. This is PPP meaning Malawians would own the hotel and the airport too by virtue of govt being a shareholder. Learn to be objective.

  61. WHY DO WE MALAWIANS OPRESS THE POOR?WHY DO WE CELEBRATE JOHN CHILEMBWE DAY? IT IS THE MALAWIAN POLITICIANS THAT WANT TO GRAB THE LAND FROM THE POOR AND GIVE IT TO THIS COMPANY.WHO DOES NOT KNOW THAT THIS COMPANY HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN CORRUPTION WITH DPP OFFICIALS FROM THE TIME OF BINGU?IT SEEMS THE VILLAGERS NO NOTHING OF THE DEAL.THAT IS WHY THE T/A RAN INTO TROUBLE.PLS DO NOT PLAY WITH THE LIVES OF PPLE.IS THIS THE TIME MALAWIAN’S BLOOD SHOULD BE SHED ON THEIR LAND,TWO LIVES ALREADY LOST? R WE STILL IN SLAVERY? DID PPLE LIKE CHILEMBWE DIE IN VAIN? FACT IS MOTA ENGIL IS AN OPRESIVE & CORUPT CO. IN MALAWI.ASK HOW POTUGUES INSULT MALAWINS AND OVERWORK THEM BEYOND CONTRACTUAL HOURS WITHOUT OVERTIME PAY.WHY R THE SOLDIERS THERE?TO INTIMIDATE MALAWIANS ON THEIR LAND ?THIS IS AN INSULT TO PPLE WHO FOUGHT AGAINST EUROPEAN OPPRESSION.EVEN DURING THE SLAVE TRADE PERIOD,EUROPIANS USED AFRICANS TO OPRESS FELLOW AFRICANS BY GIVING CHIEFS WINE AND CLOTHES.OPOSITION MCP & OTHERS PLS THIS IS DPP OPRESING MALAWIANS PLS.

    1. Why must you always refer your problems to opposition when you rejected them in the polls. You people allowed Atupele to join government and weakened the opposition now you want the same weak opposition to help you what kind of stupidity is this. Ask atupele to help you. Declared yourself independent and get rid of this mota thing. Please keep your distance concentrate on the floods. This is what we cal camp fire. It’s not National. Atcheya will handle it. Achawa ndi alomwe chinkulirano.

  62. We have really thrown the country back to the dogs who care less about human life but money and money only shame that’s what Mbendera wanted.

  64. Zoopysatu zimenezi. A malawi kufa dziko lokhala lawo. Bwanji simunakambirane nawo eni malo ndikuwapatsa zawo kuti akawone pofikira kumene mukuwathamangitsirako. There is no way govt can move them without compasation. Villagers do not move out minus compasation, this is inhuman. Bulshit,,,!!!

  65. I think my fellow malawians will remain with no land in the next ten years to come,all our ancestors land will be sold to these to foreighners by these so called greedy politicians,,,,,, concequences of wrong choices

  66. The project shud continue but proper compesation package must be agreed. As Malawians we need to thing abt infrastrucure development along our lake shores. Don’t grab and build but pay and build….

  67. A T/A Nankumba mutu wawo ukugwira ntchito bwino bwino ? kupereka mavuto ku anthu ake mukhala kale.

    1. Ukundiye kupanda nzeru , kodi zinthu zikachitika mumafulumila kutukwana president bwanji ?mukhala choncho malo monalimbikila kuti zanu ziyende, kodi mungasove zithu ndikutukwana? Ziwa kuti pamene ukuthila phuzo munthu wapheee ukulandisa zako Jabulosi iwe.

  71. Mota Engil is a baby pet for DPP. When joyce Banda was in power, there was a pause on Mota’s furtive motives to economically milk the country.
    Now the Mapwiya in charge, Mota will run amock with dubious projects, to the benefit of Mulakho and the troop of monkeys following tail side.
    It is sickening but the overall land law in Malawi is so shady. There are no regulations on the sale of land and who can buy it. Much to the benefit of rich foreigners who have exploited land owners.
    This is all DPP and its government. Do not let them run you over. Sadly, Jooma is a corrupt idiot who am sure has already a stake in this land grabbing episode.

  72. “Inde……….ndinena, ndinena ndi iwe nduna ya za malo Bright Msaka . Ukumva bwanji mu mtimamo pamene dziko lataya miyoyo iwiri yosalakwa pamene pali mphekesera yokuti iwe wafumbata ma siliva achinyengo kuchokera ku company imeneyi ya Moya Engil? “

  73. Achawa tulo mungotsatila Atupele ma chimbulimbuli ndizimenezo iyetu akudyerera aliphe inu mukuvutikatiyenazoni munya simunati mumvetsa achawa kumeneko midyomba nonse musowa komanga masimba mangaliba onse ali mmadzi wihiiiii!

  75. Black man does not love himself, and by extension his fellow black man. Even during slavery time, black traditional leaders would kill and cupter other black people and sell them to white men. Same today. For a piece of coin, black men who only know how to consume but not manufacter, will sell their own mother and in a flash of a second. Sons of vipers, cursed from the biggining.

  77. Selling Malawi is TREASON.
    Bright Malopa
    Lameck Msowoya
    TA Nankumba

    You are commiting a treason. Malawi is not for sale. These Portegues will be murdered one by one….beleive me….

  78. In any development project that requires displacing natives, the land rights of the natives have to be respected. The natives should have been involved right from the start. Where are the human rights groups in Malawi? I think this is one area where the rights groups have to see it that justice is done to the people. In my opinion this is an issue that really deserves the attention of the rights groups not fighting for mathanyula only. Mota and government want to take advantage of the mostly illiterate poor folks of Masasa to bulldoze this project on their land. The TA and the councilor it is obvious they have cakes in their mouths and they cannot be on the side of the people, shame. Malawi was sold to colonialists centuries way back and today even the elites of the nation cannot protect natives from foreigners who want nothing but reap huge profits. Something must be done. Media play your role and expose these gluttons

  80. The people knew such devolopment was fast coming. Head of State went there to lay a foundation stone. It has been on public domain that occupants were compasated. So what else are people looking for. Just to block devt or what? Let this country develop that is what many Malawians wanta. FanzZ bundle inaphaka koma sikufuna kuchokanso. Sikuba kumeneko, apite basi.

  81. The people knew suuch devolopment was fast coming. Head of State went there to lay a foundation stone. It has been on public domain that occupants were compasated.

Sikuba kumeneko, apite basi.

  84. Apart from mota engil, we don’t have other investors to do such projects? especially locals? we are selling land to foreigners and displacing the locals for real? in their country u can’t even buy an imc of their land. Self made povert at it’s best

  85. how can you just take land without proper agreement with the villagers .. and without compasation? mufuna hotel yo anthu adzagonemo kapena ayi?… and also those people motal engil or some other chines construction they are using.. presoners from their own countries to build these building by the end of the day having relationship with women living them preginant …. this is crazzy ……… there must be proper agreement

  86. Mutigulitsa mwangoyamba. Mabele anapita ziwalo zobisika munagulisa mwaona kuti mukuchedwa mungogulisa anthu zili bwino

  88. Govt does not own customary land. These pieces of land belong to the natives in each area. You cannot expect a person who was born and grew up in an area to just be told to leave, leave for where? This land has been owned, through generations, by their ancestors. When gvt decides to sell a piece of land anywhere they must first negotiate with the native occupants and agree not just on adequate compensation, but also resettlement. Incidents like this are unacceptable in a civilized society. So who will account for the two lost lives. Mota Engil is a foreign company after-all.

  89. My old parents are staying within the disputed area, I have lots of memories and history. It will be sad to lose our childhood home to these barbarians. I pray to God that these disputes should be resolved. Even if they can give us money to relocate don’t think we can manage to build.

  91. mota is not malawian owned company and the government should not take people for granted. If this place is nice for them, build a house and give money to everyone who is affected to this land dont give the just WORDS , it wont work mafumu nanu osamapusisa anthu mutadyapo kale

  92. The Chinese are buying up the capital. Now this Mota Angel is buying up the lake. What our stupid politicians don’t understand is that lake front property is prime property and highly prized anywhere in the world. The local people should be the one to benefit from this, not some foreign subsidiary! Machende APM

  93. Government should learn that now we are living in a Decentralization Era where people should be given platform to make decisions & voice their concerns. Lives would not have been lost this way if proper channel was followed before the land was sold.

  94. DPP is a thug party, look at people who are leading this country, zoona Patricia Kaliati a monister sure? thugish, Sodom and Gomorrah is what we are seeing in Malawi, naked corruption and tribalism with no shame being practised

  97. Mota Engil has stolen alot of money in this country. They bank rolled Peter elections campaign and subsequent rigging of elections. Peter has to pay back by giving them free land.

    Malawi stincts. DPP party of thieves. Koma Mota yationjeza killing our two brothers. We will revenge for sure.

    Who gave them this land? Bright Msaka? We understand he is doing his cashhate at Lands. Watch out!

  98. Ndiye anthu odalira nyanja inu mkumakawaika ku tchile akasodxa mbewa kod? Zoonado this is gvt of vampires

  100. Yes indeed chiefs have been bought expensive vehicles to silence them. A living example is A team of Neno Chiefs: T/A Simon,T/A Dambe etc. Mota Engil is here to reap where they never sowed.

  101. Kodi apwitikizi awa akufunanso kutilanda malo. Osakamanga hotela yawoyo ku maputo bwanji imbecis? mxiew

  102. Zanu zaku mwera kupusa kwanu kuvotera DPP masamu a Pulezident wa votegate ndi Landgate kwathu sangayese

  103. It’s the very same mota engine which was bribing late Bingu and built for him many mansion s in Portugal and other outside countries. Remember what Peter said, when he told our nation that he will continue where his Broz left. What do you expect of him when this is happening. Kamlepo said that “when hyenas change from one forest to another, doesn’t change spots ” kumva axe ili mu head my beloved kinsmen. Ung’ono ung’ono Atupele could have been better than our Grandpa. Check

  106. We want infrastructure development,that is why i urged people in this country to come out in their large numbers and vote wisely,yes voting for Democratic progressive.

  108. Paja mota engil ndiyomwe Bingu ndi chipani cha DPP amadya mayo bwino amabela Ku company imeneyi ndie paja pitala mathanyula akupitiliza pomwe anasiila bingu,iyeyu apha anthu ambiri kuposa bingu poti zionetselo ndi ma strike zangoyamba kumene ndipo muphwisa.

  109. Lets face it people! we need development along this beautiful lake not village squatters. Lets talk of a handsome compensation to the villagers but we cannot stop development please!

  110. Shame ! Mota Engil remains one of the major shareholder of the DPP government. It did it with Bingu, and now with APM. One of the most corrupt business companies in Malawi. For the Army, I am yet to read the legal line on their involvement in such small-scale internal affairs. Pena phuma limachuluka with our MDF.

  111. this is modern slavery,what disaster has happen to people to leave their properties eg houses and land,how can the government trust the foreigners its shame to the world

  112. A simple issue like this one cause death of our dear relatives. Its a simple question. Where is the Money Mota Engil paid??? Why did it not reach the owners of the land????? Do you know that the real owners of land in Malawi is not the president but the people????? Read section 12 of the constitution. The authority to govern Malawi is derived from the people of Malawi. How come an individivual or people in delegated authority abuse the rights of the citizens????????

    Pay them please !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

  113. DPP thieving with Mota Engil continues……You cannot grab land from people without compensating them. For sure wina wadya za “landgate”. Ndiye poti ndi zomwe timavotera. Tiyeni nazo!!!!

    1. Thats why i like DPP they always know what they are doing,without force we will not develop the country,remember Dr Banda use force things were moving smoothly,wamwano menyani akalimba limba imphani bansi,viva dpp viva mota engil,ndizomwe mudavotera agalu mbuyanu muluzu ndikumwa naye wamkaka
