CSO’s change demo route in Lilongwe, set for ‘red’ street protests
Malawi civil-society groups organising the Tuesday, January 13 anti-government street protests against the National Aids Commission’s (NAC) disbursement of funds to non-conventional organisations and governance concerns have said the demonstrations will go on peacefully with only “slight” changes of the Lilongwe route.
Spokeman of the demonstrations, Timonthy Mtambo said change on the Lilongwe route has come about following an interface meeting with the Malawi Police Service “where they expressed security concerns over the Mchesi route.”
He said: “ We hence agreed to abort the Mchesi route by instead opting for Kamuzu Central Hospital Roundabout as the converging place via Lingadzi Round about via National Aids Commission Offices via Parliament then deliver the petition at the Civic Officers.”
In Blantyre they will converge at Upper Stadium via Highway and then deliver the petition at the Civic Offices.
Northern city of Mzuzu, people will gather at Katoto via Mzuzu clock tower via Mzuzu High Court round about and then deliver the petition at Civic Offices
In Zomba they will start from Community ground via Mponda Primary School and then direct to Zomba district assembly to deliver the petition
And in Karonga at Karonga roundabout then direct to Karonga district assembly to deliver the petition.
The CSOs are taking to the street on January 13 against NAC’s disbursement of funds to First Lady Gertrude Mutharika’s Beautify Malawi (Beam) Trust and Mulhako wa Alhomwe cultural group which counts President Peter Mutharika among its members.
Mtambo said Police Service and the relevant duty bearers including the DCs and Chief executives “have not only been cooperative throughout the planning phase but also shown deep commitment towards ensuring that we have a peaceful, successful demonstration.”
He added: “ We have no doubt that the law enforcers will live to their word throughout the process especially during the day of demonstrations. As on our part, we remain committed to ensuring a peaceful demonstration by adhering to the law and human rights precepts.”
According to the police, the general public should feel free to go about their daily economic and social activities without fear as it is in full control.

Kikkk, there were about 30 people at the LL demos
this is tribalistic and its against the Lhomwes
I hope this is a peacefull demo bcause some people they take it assive its an opportunity to rob peoples shops and cause havock in the city.Afterall which affects the economic activities going on.

Even 10 people are enough to present the petition. So was the first lady right to get the money? Mulhako to hv the money as well? If u are happy about that then just keep quite. Amene mukuyankhula zachamba simunayambe mwapangako ma demo ever since
Ndikale lija ndivala red red throught. Mmawa kuli kanthu!
Tipanga mawa apo bi wina amwalira
Zodiak Broadcasting sikuti muzizanenerera manyiwa ngati mpira. Remember, if it were not for Uchitsilu wa ZBS sibwezi atumbuka okuba opandanzeru 20 atafa pa 20 July. Iwe mtambo, umufunse mwakasungula zomwe akuwona. Chautatu si James. You mean all this nosense becoz of NAC’s procurements to beam and Mulakho only. ? What about donations to Maseko Ngonis, joice banda, trapence etc? Atumbuka, you are now exposed beyond doubt. Pangani chipani chanu tizipikisana in good faith on ground anyani akumpoto inu!
I Don’t know why Atumbuka are very frustrated as if mmalawi muno alimo okha…
Please Malawians watch out as I am told Mtambo has given ten AK 25 guns to thugs. The thugs have been well trained to shoot at least two or three people at each center of demo. This is planned so that the good image of DPP should be as dirty as the appearance of the mad person. I have evidence and tangible evidence for that matter. There after these people will go for downfall of the current regime. Mark my words. Mtambo is working hand in hand with JB. We should expect total biafara war after the demo. This is very bad. JB ruled this country for two years or three without being disturbed now look what is doing. She has paid Timothy Mtambo a lot of money. Mtumbukas want to rule Malawi by force. IMAGINE!

I HAVE A QUESTION THAT NEEDS AN IMMEDIATE ANSWER FROM THE CSO ORGANISING THE DEMOS. COME TOMORROW ITS TAKEN TO THE STREETS, AND NO RESPONSE FROM GOVERNMENT OR BEAM. WHAT IS THE NEXT ACTION, BECAUSE WE WANT TO KNOW WHAT IS THE GOAL AND HOW DO WE MEET IT WITHOUT ANY EXTERNAL ASSISTANCE. “MUKAMAPITA KUNKHONDO MUMAFUNIKA NDONDOMEKO, NANGA KUTAPEZEKA KUTI WINA WAFA KAPENA KATUNDU KUONONGEKA, TIDZAFUNSE NDANI? INE NDIKUFUNSA IZI CHIFUKWA SINDINAMVEPO KUTI CSO YAKAMBIRANA NDI BOMA KAPENA BEAM KAPENANSO NAC. KOMA NDIKUNGOMVA KUTI TIYENI KUNSEWU. KODI KUNSEWUKU TIDZIKATANI? SIMUNATIUZE ZOKACHITA; TIKAGWADE/KUYENDA NDAWALA/KUTHAMANGA/KUKUWA/KULIRA/KUGONA TIKATANI?
You want us to teveal our plan so that you can plan an attack on them. We wont tell you until when need arises
Oh how stubborn are you Mr. Mtambo. All your colleague are against this demonstration. If people will die there you will be answerable.
Iwe Mtambo! are these demos against K5million to Beam and transport to Mulhakho wa Alhomwe only?? what about the K73million that NAC gave to Joyce Banda? Is Joyce Banda funding you???? kikiki analephera chitsankho chamu chaka cha mayankho 2014 zedi. lock anatsekedwa ndi anthu aku Zomba Masongola
Mtambo needs brain surgery. I am sure mmutu mwake mwazaza madzi !!!!
The only language democratic countries understands better: Demonstrations, Strikes, Vigils and sit inns. Contact and dialogue was barried with Ngwazi Dr H Kamuzu Banda.
Frustrated and disgruntled individuals
expect poor turnout tomorrow and don’t say that I didn’t warn you-
Spend your time and energy on beneficial stuff………this is the better topic at least we can focus on[PARIS ATTACK] ~~~~About 3 Americans and 12 Europreans get kiiled and its a “World tragedy” and World leaders come together to show solidarity——–2000 Nigerians get slaughtered by (CIA) organization called Boko Haram and they are just statistics. ———Amangwetu don’t be fooled with these white people they are on a mission trying tarnish Islam religion’s image
They new all along that by publishing such provocative cartoon deliberately some Muslims may react
I condemn many (Unislamic) attacks happening across the
global and those people should stop using peaceful religion of Islam in their endeavors > to put the record straight in my personal capacity i salute those( Paris attackers) for taking necessary/drastic measures
In every action there’s reaction-what do you expect me to do if you come at my house and clap me?
Many Palestinians have been slaughtered by Jews and it was never called “World Tragedy” and no world leaders came together to show solidarity–Fokofuuuuuuuuuuuu!!
accountability is of uttermost importance in a democratic country like Malawi. it makes no sense to be irresponsible bcoz Joice Banda is claimed to ve bn so. our blood brothers and sisters will be the ones dying if this malpractice goes on unchecked. lets love malawi than france.
What they want is to submit their grievances not how many will turn up
Bodza a Slam ndinu wovuta and iwe Imran Sadik ndiwe one of the terrorists.
I followed with keen interest and vividly remember how the July 20 demos were conducted.
The main players in Southern Region for the July 20 demos were not the organisers – CSO’s but political parties in coordination with few little known SCO’s.
Kennedy Musonda, Horphmally Makande, Humphreys Mvula, Rashid Nembo (then UDF Executive Members) Rafik Hajat, Dr. Nandin Patel, Kamlepo Kalua and murder suspect Ali Kaka Chinemba were some of the people behind those demos in Southern Region.
Musonda was in charge for ground operation.
Eastern Region had Lawrence Bisika and Dr. Jessey Kabwila in the lead.
In the absence of the above characters taking part in tomorrow’s demos I personally doubt its effectiveness.
It’s not as easy as people think to mobilize the masses to go into the streets to demonstrate it takes special efforts and skills.
I look forward to see if tomorrow’s demos will be effective if the above mentioned characters don’t take part.
John Kapito tried several times without the much anticipated results. People have now lost trust in demos organized by CAMA under John kapito.
Mwina anthu ena ali ndi ma New Year resolutions ochita loose weight. Nanga ma ARV, kunenepa sidzikhala bwino, ndiye part of the plan ayenereka kumayenda yenda kuwongola thupi.. NDE alekeni apite akawongole miyendo mmawali. I hope Mvula igwenso tsiku lonse kuti adalitsike bwino. Nanga inu ichi nchiyani khutukumve dzosamva pa Demo aziiii!!!

Mtambo, mzeru zakutheratu apa. You wanted to involve people of Mchesi just to use them???? Yet you do not share with them the spoils you make from your financiersI
Nanga pa cashgate simunapange ma demostrations bwanji?
Komamulimba?
Ndye kut ma demo ndi a malova?..i believe sukulunso inakuvutani inu amene mukupita ku ma demo chifukwa ine ndikakhala ndili mu office mwanga kusainira ma cheque ndikumwa tea wa mkaka..kusukulu ndinapitako ndipo ndine ozindikira
These politically motivated demos. Rev Sembereka and his colleagues are frustrated because their PP Party lost and their fortunes have gone
Che Mtambo cancel the demonstrations, we now have natonal disaster claiming lives of our citizens and we need both government and CSOs to immediately address this terrible situation. We have had continuous rains in the last 2 days in most parts of the country and over 45,000 people are homeless. The numbers will be rising on daily basis. If you indeed claim to serve people lets cancel the demonstration and use the funds to feed our brothers and sisters affected by the floods. God bless you and the team as you cancel the demonstrations today and re-channel the funds you have to rescue human lives.
BRAVO POLICE, BRAVO CSO, BRAVO MALAWI, LONG LIVE EQUAL RIGHTS & JUSTICE THE MATCH WILL BE FREE THE MESSAGE WILL GET ACROSS!

May God be the best judge on this matter becouse i and my fell malawians either know or understand the hiden purpose such Demos and anticipated outcome,if done in good faith or not if yes how.worning to the orgernisers do say i have received Jesus a have stoped doing this and that in the near future becouse Jesus is watching u and u are say thats representation of malawians out cry whom are you representing.malawians or your stomach or selling your talents to the leadership of this country so that you should be considered in next recruitment of Government staff . Is there any country on earth where Demos have yielded good resuilts to poor citizenly not teas .We know nothing but you know the trueth
Ufa infa yowawa iwe
The police officers must not be the one to result to violences.we saw it in the past demos they got t the chance to intervene the mbavas to start stealing.we dont want such malpractices.we need a very peaceful demos.
BREAKING! Some CSO’s who were organising protests against nac have announced that they have withdrew from taking part. Announcing this in blantyre yesterday,Mr mbendera who is the executive member for Family Planning Association of Malawi (FPAM), apologised to malawians for siding himself with few gready cso leaders whom he described as day pharisees. Mbendera also disclosed that the few cso leaders pocketed money from some financiers of the demos and did not mention names. meanwhile sources disclosed that mtambo, kwataine,sembereka and trapence received 40 milion from joyce banda to mobilise vendors to be on front.blantyre and zomba city venders and residents said they are not taking any part come 13th.
MUYALUKA MUWONA CHAKA CHAKE NDI CHINO KKKKKKKKK. PITANI MUKAYENDE BOLA MUSAYIWALE MA RAINCORT, CHIFUKWA NVULA NDIYE IKAKUCHAPANI ASATANA INU KKKKKKK. MUMUYITANE JOYCE AZAYENDE NAWO KUTI MWINA MUZAKHALEKO AMBILI ANTHU KKKKKKKKKK NANGATU NDALAMA WAKUPASANI ZIJA NDI ZAMBILI MAKOSANA. NDIYE OFUNIKA MUMUGWILILE NTCHITO YABWINO KKKKKK KOMA KUMENEKO. IFE NDIYE TIKUNVA KUKOMA FUEL WASIKA Eeeeeeeeh YESU WATHU NDI MULUNGU WAMOYO.
I guess CSOs have a right to demonstrate with or without the support of the others who have opted out and that does not show Satanism. Just as we are physically different so are we intellectually and can therefore not agree with each other on all matters. Kodi Fathara simukudziwa za fuel kuti watsika pa world market to almost a third of its price at peak? Ndiye inu akutsitsirani ndi zingati? As long as Ministers get fuel allowances in cash, the downward adjustment of prices will be sluggish since it negatively affects their net income! I’m not sure if you get me chifukwa ka sukulunso kakuoneka kanakuvutaniko!
Koma chilichonse kuseka, si misala iyi? Mukamati mulungu wanu, what do you mean? Fuel price reduction is an obvious thing because worldwide the fuel pump price is reduced. Just for your information, oil has lost value by 5.5%. So what are you talking about? Just solve your governance and nepotistic issues. We are not looking at short term solutions but rather long term ones. I believe your comment is myopic. Comment about rains late February, 2015 by then we might have harvested not now. And again, malawi’s inflation is still the highest in southern Africa. People are buying maize at Mk 120/ kg, beans at MK 700/KG and rice at Mkberi 600/kg. Let us see if you wont match. Malawi needs quick decision makers and robust brains not weak and wicked brains like your so called HE.
Loafers only will go and march.
