Chief Kalolo attacked: Police arrest 40 in Nsundwe fracas as tension remains high 

October 9, 2019 Owen Khamula - Nyasa Times 43 Comments

Malawi Police have arrested 40 suspects during a night of commotion in Nsundwe trading centre in Lilongwe as women and children fled their homes.

Smashed chief Kalolo vehicle

Journalists who have returned to the area after the Tuesday violence which led to the killing of a police officer say the situation is calm but remains tense.

Police officers stormed houses at night, arresting suspects, including those suspected to have stoned to death the police officer Usumani Imedi, a team leader from C company who was deployed to clear roads after the so called Nsundwe forces blocked the roads and demanded money from motorists.

National police headquarters spokesperson James Kadadzera confirmed the arrest of the 40 suspects.

“They are yet to be charged but some of them might face murder charges,” said Kadadzera.

Imedi is being laid to rest Wednesday in his home, Mangochi.

Chief Kalolo from Nsundwe was also attacked last evening on his way back from the political rally held in the capital city by president Peter Mutharika and the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP).

The Nsundwe forces smashed his vehicle for allegedly attending the DPP political rally, a rally which the forces were against and stopped people from going to attend.

Kalolo said he was consulting with other leaders in the area; both traditional, civic and religious to see how best to contain the situation which he said had now gone out of hand.

He sustained minor injuries and was treated as an outpatient at St. Gabriel Mission  Hospital.

  1. Can the intelligence committee of parliament give the nation a full account of who and what is behind the Nsundwe massacre?

    The nation needs to know. If it is politically motivated, bring evidence forward. Even one Malawian dying is more than too much.

    I am assuming as a nation we do have a functional intelligence institution. If we do, why did they not know of what was about to happen before it happened.

    There has been a total failure in intelligence in this case which cannot and should not be tolerated.

    Let us be serious. Any leader who is willing to sacrific even a single Malawian for their political gain, is NOT WORTHY TO LEAD IT.

    Government, please account for the lapses in intelligence.

  2. Malawi Police, complete thugs in uniform. No investigative skills, busy locking up everybody and hoping they will be able to beat someone to death in a cell in order to garner a confession. And you wonder why the masses rise against you?

  9. A nguluuuuuuuuu mulibe anzanu pokokomeza zinthu zimene anzanu achita osati za inuuuuuu!! Just last month you cerebrated that Mayaya was hacked by cadets and didn’t suggest any arrests of the culprits….!! The list is too long and include Njaunju, Lule, Chasowa, a police officer known as Supritendant Julius Jailosi who you brutally killed at Goliati in March 2014 etc etc

    Anthu akhala akuyesa muno ndi muno kuti amene anapha anthu amenewa amangidwe koma ataaaaaaaaa palibe muchita, lero popeza ndi Msundwe ndiye kuchita kukwelera pa phiri la Mulanje kuchemelera amvekela amenewo apite ku maximum prison………………………………….

Mulandu suuuuuumaolaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ngati nsomba kapena nyama!

    1. Muchipeta wa nyau iweeeee! Ubulutu wakukulira ndiponso MaC Hende ako. Kodi muamba kuti gonthi Mayaya anaphedwa? Nyauu zopusa inu mumaganiza anthu amaganizidwe akudambwe mungalamulire dzeko? Nthawi yanu idapita. Stop thinking that Malawi presidency should be tribal based. We will use meritocracy to choose not your stupid dambwe logic. Forget that the failed fake accent ex-reverend nyolonyo yona Chakwera will ever be president of this country.

    3. #killbrutalpolice. Kill them police if they brutally beat the citizens. Peter must held for all this lawlessness in this country. Asakani ngati mwayi ungapezeke iphani agalu a muthalikawo

  10. Sizachilendo achakwera ananena okha kut mwazi ukhedzedwe basi.kaya komwe aliko akuva bwanji fiti imeneyi .anthuwo asatulukeso

    1. Kulira kwa Makadeti …I hope ndi Chakwera anatokutumani kuti mupange attack Mayaya…muphe Njauju or wa Police kwa Goliati …Nkhani ndi Yakuti Aliyense Akaphwanya Lamulo Azimangidwa…

  11. Imagine that those who killed Njaunju and Chasowa are still at Large, those who beat Billy Mayaya in full view of the police not yet arrested

    1. Remember ‘ANIMAL FARM’ literature? Some ‘animals’ are more equal than others! That is exactly what the DPP led government is guilty of practicing. Mtambo’s uncle was killed by the police, Chasowa killed, Mayaya, almost murdered in full view of the Malawi Police officers. So there are two groups of ‘animals’ in the Malawian society, (1) The group of equal ‘animals’
      (2) The group of ‘animals’ that are more equal than the group in (1). When an animal from group (2) attacks and injures or kills an ‘equal’ animal in group (1),nobody cares! But when an ‘equal’ animal attacks and injures or kills an animal from group (2), then all hell breaks loose! This is the true colour of the DPP led government. What one saws is what one reaps, these are natural laws that apply to all.

  12. Bring them to Court quick for plea and hearing and sentence them quick and send them to Zomba Maximum prison kuja amati kwa ma condemned people. Ankayesa zocheza . A Chakwera awo akumawanamiza anyamata amenewa lero zomwe analosera za mwazi zikuoneka tsopano. How are you feeling baba Chakwera kuona anthu okwana 40 arrested? Can you go to police and bail them out iwe Lazaro and Mkaka poti ndimu mumawatuma anyamatawa. Nyau zimenezi zikafere ku cell and the Court should give them life sentence omwe anapha wa police yo akazi awo ife tikubwera tizatenge. You cant fight governement machinery because you will be a loser in the end . What have they have benefited by blocking the road,. Tili nanu nanu kwa Nsundweko and mumvetsaso

    1. Palibepo nkhani apa zomwezi, Dpp ndi Police yomweyo sadapha Njainje ndi Chasowa ndindani adamumanga. Kuononga resources za boma kumeneko Parliament will not give you another funding. Government yake yitinso palinso government apa

    2. I think to blame Chakwela on this is stupitdity at its best firstly the political stuation in Malawi is pathetic all political leadership are to blame, firstly how many people has the pathetic incompetent malawi police has killed, chasowa, njaunju, fanikizo phiri, the two queens hospitals and how many have been arrested zero. This is not a police state country. let all political parties put their houses in order. starting with the tipex party, and tell your golila type of tipex president to start talk of reconcilation and together ness or else this country is on fire.

      1. To blame chakwera its not stupidity, ndi munthu oipa pamodzi ndi mzake chilima osaiwala mtambo. Anthu awa akuzunzitsa miyoyo yosalakwa kamba kofuna upulezident. Utsogoleri sitilanda , chakwera , chilima komanso mtambo must know this

        1. Chakwela ndi chilima ndi anthu amene akufunila zabwino mtunda wa Malawi not your fucken monkey Peter munthalika

    1. Chakwera with his crocodile smile is happy that blood is being shed as he was sent to do so by lucifer. Ati konseko kuufuna u president yet ku khoti ndi nyansi zokhazokha zomwe iye, arafat ndi mbuli za ma witness awo akupanga

  23. But those who burnt opposition property are getting allowances and scott free! This is why this political crisis wont end and will worsen after the courts verdict on the elections case.

      1. Zisamakomere mbuzi kugunda galu. kodi a DPp mwapha anthu angati? Apolice amangoti we are investigating until when? Ayambe kumanga omwe anavulaza Mayaya Ma DPP CADETS.
