Court issues arrest warrant for MP Kalindo over audio containing allegations on Malawi albino syndicate
Malawi Police have obtained a warrant of arrest for Member of Parliament and UTM Party’s youth director Bon Kalindo over the production of an audio clip which implicates President Peter Mutharika and his aide Dr Hertherwick Ntaba in the albino body parts business.
Police got the warrant of arrest from the Zomba Magistrate Court signed by Principal Resident Magistrate Mzondi Mvula.
The audio clip which has gone viral on social media was recorded and shared by suspects who were arrested and are currently in Malawi Prisons.
The suspect implicates Mutharika and Ntaba in the operation of albino body parts business in the country which has recorded almost 10 incidents of abductions and killing of people with albinism since the start of 2014.
“It is true that Magistrate Mvula issued a fresh warrant of arrest for Bon Kalindo and they want to charge him using the Electronic Transactions Act over the audio clip circulating on social media,” said Judiciary spokeswoman Agnes Patemba .
She told a local radio that the issue is in connection with the audio clips circulating on social media over the killings of persons with albinism.
Kalindo is also facing another case of insulting the President contrary to Section 4 of the Protected Flags, Emblems and Names Act.
He has another case on disorderly conduct at Balaka Police Station contrary to Section 153 (1) of the Police Act.
Nyasa Times understands police will make more arrests on the audio clips matter.
The Human Rights Defenders Coalition (HRDC) has since written President Mutharika to clear his name on the matter.
In a letter addressed to Mutharika dated February 27 2019, copied to the Chief Justice, Speaker of the National assembly and the Inspector General of Police, HRDC says there has been a lukewarm reaction to the killings of persons with albinism which gives credence to suggestions that the State was involved in the killings.
Governance and rights activist Makhumbo Munthali told Nyasa Times that the audio clips circulation on social media are “serious allegations”

Why dont they arrest the prophet from Lilongwe who challenged that he knows the killers , they are government and DPP,they are giving a sacrifice to win election. He said this on Sunday 17th of February, botanic garden,Lilongwe. No one is arresting him and dare to arrest him,he will even mention the names of people, boma lidzakhala maliseche.
Kalindo is a village idiot
Too much talking kalindo
Kalindo has simply lost the plot. He will not be able to campaign. He is a goner.
Why arrest kalindo……fufuzani komwe ma clip achokera I don’t see any connection with Kalindo.Dpp at its slope down to zero pa 21 may
HRDC, mind your stance. How do you ascertain your assumption that dwells on an unclaimed audio clip? Are you well defended legally?
Surely the so called Tumbuka HRDC will face the music. Kaduka sikabwino.
Please, the music should not be similar to the one Rwandans faced in April 1994. I see that you have targeted them. The tone of your language tells it all! Please, do not punish them. Talk to them. Negotiate. Mediate. Reconcile. Compromise …
Please, Mr. Bon Kalindo. Focus on your attempt to retain your constituency. Your desire to fight politicians from several fronts will not be in the interests of those who look upon you as the breadwinner. Politics in Malawi is a very dirty game more in particular when they are forces that want to liquidate you for good. Please, for the sake of your spouse, children and constituents, think twice. You may have valid opinion but the political terrain is not good. Carpenters often hit hard a nail that sticks out on flat wood.
I know Bon Kalindo. Its by chance that he was elected in the Position of the MP. The idiot has dozens of house rentals in Machinjri that he is failing to honour. Kubwera ku Sportsman kuthawanso ndi Bill ya Fanta mmodzi for 400mk.
This will haunt him for ever.
How is Kalindo connected to the audios? I fail to see the connection here. Enlighten me please.
Kalindo akuyenera apite kukapitilidza Tikuferanji politics ndi Tikuferanji ndi zinthu ziwiri zosiyana please Mr Kalindo mubwerere kukapitilidza Tikuferanji ndale siphadayi
How can the President clear himself without taking in those who are mentioning his name in a clip & others into book? I believe Winiko has all evidence on the same and he must share the same in court of law as a witness.
Agogo asokonozeka apa. Kumangana nthawi ya multiparty? Ndale zadyera izi.
Kkkkkkk missing the point …if you have nothing offer like me just read what great minds r talking……the story is implicating winiko…hence his search kuti akafotokodze,if it is true the nation has won…if not eish kuipisilana mbiri ndi mulandu….mmalamulo mwathu adziko la Malawi
I am not surprised that Kalindo would be so stupid to do this. Probably it’s the nature of the entire UTM. Remember what Chilima said: he would make malaria drugs free in public hospitals when the drugs are already free.
Patrick, so if Chilima said he would make malaria drugs free in public hospitals when the drugs are already free, what are you implying here? Should I assume that Kalindo is telling us something which is true again? kikikikikiki koma zikuyenda m’mutu mwakomooooo!! So you mean its already a known fact all Kalindo is saying! Sheeeeeeeeeeee utuuza zambiritu iweeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Before I can answer you, use your real name, not chigoba. I don’t respond to nameless authors. Wamvetsa
They ment mankhwalawo samabedwa
This is political agwandalala bonofolious qentumosick arrest zilizonse?
Macadet inu even if mumumange pa 21 apa ur out now it will be ur time to dance.Kalindo dont worry let them do so ku Zombako its where they get their justice and we are watching
Patrick Phiri, I agree with Central.. Can you respond to his/her question? Not everybody who is commenting here actually put their correct name. They don’t want you to hurt them as you would wish.
kkkkkkk koma anthu muli ndi nzeru, mmatha kuchita twist mayankhulidwe a munthu. Central i know tili mbali zosiyana pa ndale koma lero wandipeza kwabaasi, kaya Patrick ayankha bwanji kaya? kkkkkk
I think they want to kill kalindo
Apolice mukufuna mupheso uyu ngati mwachitira wina uja kuli kubisa umboni? Mwatitopesa anthu oipa ndipo ankhanza koipisitsa.
A Kalindo seeking sympathy
Good development paja anati awulula amene akupha Alubino so it’s inorder to question this before all alubinos go.
My brother Kalindo – please, this will not take you anywhere. We had people who used to play around with Government but have ended up being no-body. You men a lot to yourself, family members, relatives and friends.
I know it could be out of anger for the true reason that you shall not return into Parliament come May 22, 2019. All your colleagues in UTM will only be coming to visit you at Maula prison and go back to their respective homes, sleep with their wives and husbands respectively , while you are perishing in jail.
Take this free advice seriously
“The audio clip which has gone viral on social media was recorded and shared by suspects who were arrested and are currently in Malawi prisons”
Now what is this warrant of arrest on Kalindo for??? Clueless!!!!!!!
Why arrest a person with information in the first place? Instill terror, let people with information come out. In fact, Kalindo is supposed to get the K5m instead
Apolisi anawafunsa anthu amene ali kundendewo ndipo aulula kuti ndi kalindo yemwe anawatuma. Now there is your answer, what else do you want to know?
Bon Kalindo achita bwino kumtenga kuti zoona zenizeni zidziwike
This could be the beginning of the worst for the syndicate, a cost to DPP
Mr President your name has been mentioned please clear yourself before arresting people
Anthuwa ndi amodzi amadziwana zochita asiyeni. Vuto lake they were doing things together until 8 months ago so they really know their own tricks or plans they had.
I for one the first time I heard the audio note I doubted its authenticity. Although the note is causing a serious damage to the DPP reputation I applaud the stand the DPP has taken not to deny it. An accused person has a right to remain silent since the burden of proof is with the accusers.
Koma guys mwaonjeza mpaka kumpaka matope munthu osalakwa. Ndiyetu mugwidwa nonse mwapanga izi, president was dziko lina lililonse simunthu wamasewera he will request google and facebook to trace the first person who posted the clip.
Auze aise amvetsetse akuona ngati tikuferanji. Mwina sakudziwa, pano kalindo wathawa sakupedzeka. Oipa athawa yekha.
Ameneyu amumangedi kutokota too much
Tayambani mwafufuza zomwe zikunenedwa mu audio mo and investigate people involved first. Did Winiko record the audio? Mwamva kale the audio was recorded by suspecs who are currently on remand. Why do u want to spend our innocent taxes?
You should be regretting for arresting winiko in the first place and placing him at Zomba maximum prison. He took advantage of the detention to solicit information from alibino killer suspects. Now you want to incarcerate him again?. How dump are you guys? He will use the opportunity to even solicit more information. Prof Mutharika taziganizaniko ngati professor abale. This guy has lots of information therefore molesting him surely will do you more harm than good. He told you that while in detention he collected a lot of information on the senseless killings of our brothers and sisters with albinism. Continue harassing him but be warmed this guy called Winiko akumalidzani if at all sanakumalizeni kale.
The judge from Zomba and what ever his/her name is should just join politics and he/ she should stand on DPP ticket,
We have seen that in most high profile cases DPP use this judge in every case such as
(1 (Chaponda maize gate Case,
(2) Kalindo Case and the
(3) Mk145M case.
He is not Objective judge but a politician as he/ she has demonstrated in many occasions.
You just hate Kalindo bcoz he promise to reveal the Syndicate . You have bn asking him to reveal and he did if indeed it’s him, so why arresting the messenger???
Arrest the perpetrators of Albino murder and not the messenger.
Had it been he implicated the opposition leaders , were you going to arrest him???
The answer is a big noooooo!!!!!!!!!! You were going to be more than happy that opposition name has been tarnished but bcoz it’s your Gogos then you respond fearless without concrete evidence.
Tiyeni nazoni nonse mwakula mwatha and what remains now is dying day then repent before its too late.
Mr. Bigman you say kicks of dying horse, you mean you can win elections by using tactics such as the ones displayed by your Kalindo?
Did Kalindo kill the albino abduction suspect in Police cells? Or was it done under the watch of the Police who are led by Mchacha and Dausi?
This is just too much. Doing uncivilized politics. You cant do such nosemse in civilized countries.
Kalindo should know that doing politics is a serious business. This is not doing drama.
Amalawi anzanga wapengatu munthu uyu. Aluzisa UTM game yowinawina. Zingooneka kuti onse a UTM ndiopenga ndiponso a drama okha okha. Dpp ikufunyani apumbwa inu
Let justice take its rightful course. We are not going to sympathise with you because ndiwe wa UTM.Chibwana basi
Apa DPP ikukaikidwa mmanda basi, chipani cha mwazi
Kalindo anamenyedwa in full view of police and Mchacha mpaka pano no arrests. Now that explains. They wanted to silence him from this
The kicks of the dying horse that is DPP, useless and clueless political arrests instead of dealing with the issues. One minute, people are arrested for walking suspiciously at a function, next minute you are murdering suspects with electricity shocks, blunt instruments and severe beatings, after that you are declaring there is no Albino crisis in Malawi. Pathetic and leaderless. This is why we don’t need old and useless leaders sitting phwii in the state house, you end up with halfwits like Dausi and Mchacha abusing police and state powers.
You have blood on your hands now with the murder of not only Albinos, but suspects in police cells. Do you have a Legacy left Mr President and the DPP?? Why not step down now instead of making life for yourself worse after the 21st of May. Because mark my words, some of you are going to Jail.
@BigMan
Watch your mouth; it may be you going to jail. Asa.
This Albino issue needs to be sorted. If indeed it’s Mr Kalindo who recorded the audio, he needs to be protected as we want this barbaric behaviour to stop.
Police should be professional.
Me Kalindo should only give his statement in the presence of his lawyers.
He should be tried asap and to be televised. Malawians deserves to know the truth.
This Kalindo guy is a true comedian. But this time he has gone too far. The so called HRDC just want to be relevant for the purpose of getting more money from their handlers . Its sad people are making money from the issue if albino killings. Its reallly sad. I agree the issue of the death of Buleya must be investigated fully. It must not even take time as he died in Police custody. Whether he died during interrogation to find out the truth or an act of revenge over the albino killings , the truth must be told. By now people should be before the courts.
Kodi majisitileti wa kuZomba akupanga zopusayu ndiuti? ameneyo ndi wa DPP. Ndichifukwa chani a polisi nthawi zonse akafuna kumanga anthu chifukwa cha ndale akumapita kwa majisitileti ameneyu. ameneyo ndi judge di koma
pliz leave the magestrate on this issue. thier duty is to recieve complains and make sure the accused is given an opportunity to defend himself and the accuser provide evidence then the cout makes its decision based on evidence. as of now kalindo is a suspect until proved to be true thats them he can be sentensed. this means he might be innocent or not . understand legal issues
DPP and Zomba Courts. Magistrates aku Zomba azapangidwa za Ku Malaysia. The world is watching you bunch of crooks
Kalindo I’d stupid
Pls mumangenisangs
LA 40 LIMAKWANA GOOD PEOPLE —(don’t forget )
Winiko must not only be arrested but also be imprisoned, even ten years in prison.
Angulu inuu nthawi yanu yatha
We are watching kaya mukamupatsa poison , your day is coming galu aliyense Ali ndi tsiku lake
kkkkkk iwenso chitsiru eti, nanga popeza kalindo ukumuyikila kumbuyoyu ndi mngulunso?
Bon Kalindo achita bwino kumangidwa kuti choona chenicheni chidziwike
