Don’t say Bushiri didn’t warn you! Dangerous time for Malawi

January 25, 2020 Ephraim Nyondo -Nyasa Times 38 Comments

The streets of Malawi are stinking with a stench of a looming danger as the nation, with each passing day, continue to draw close to the most controversial presidential elections case ruling by the Constitutional Court.

The demonstrations organised by Human Rights Defenders Coalition

With few days to a ruling of such a historical magnitude, the last thing you would expect, is a political environment tainted with series of street protests and even worse, an overwhelmed police and the defense force let loose with guns handling internal security.

But here we are. Everything around us doesn’t give confidence that, after the court ruling, this country will not break.

Just look around.

Timothy Mtambo and Gift Trapence have already tensed up the streets with a series of mass protests that, in all intents and purposes, questions the efficacy of last year’s May 21 polls.

I thought, for the sake of peace, government and other non-state agencies would have moved to have a truce with the Mtambo and Trapence movement to, at least, calm down the streets.

Governments, we all learn in political science theories and experience, survive on compromise and advocacy.

Strangely, instead of doing that, the DPP-led government has just gone on the offensive covering up, escalating the dangers out there. That’s not leadership Malawi needs NOW.

Even worse, what could be described as the nail on the coffin, is the current discourse regarding an attempt, by some, to bribe the judges who are about to deliver the elections case ruling. All seers, despite unofficial, points to the ruling party behind this.

Now look at this.

Mtambo and Trapence movement is a response to a public outcry that Jane Ansah mismanaged an electoral process that President Peter Mutharika won. Because of that outcry, MCP and UTM opened a case, seeking the court nullify this mismanaged election.  Now, we have beneficiaries of this mismanaged election, implicated in a heinous attempt to bribe judges who are supposed to rule on this case.

This is a dangerous time for Malawi, a moment ripe for big trouble.

Put it historically, do you know where Malawi is right now? It’s akin to the Europe of January 1913, four months to the break out of the First World War.

You see, Mtambo and Trapence movement demanding Jane Ansa resignation, Ansa’s resignation refusal, Nsundwe issues, attempts to bribe the judges and ACB refusal to reveal names—all these are, in world history, things like arms race and political alliances which provided a fertile ground for the First World War to break out.

All what is remaining in Malawi now is a spark—just like what sparked the First World War: the murder at Sarajevo yes, what happened on Sunday, 28 June 1914, at about 10:45 am, when Franz Ferdinand and his wife were assassinated in Sarajevo, the capital of the Austro-Hungarian province of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Malawi’s murder at Sarajevo is the Constitutional Court ruling in the offing. If Mutharika doesn’t reflect and, without a second wasted, fails to stand up for the country, not his cronies, and make serious compromises—this country is heading for a serious crash.

That is what Prophet Shepherd Bushiri said in October 2018. Don’t say he didn’t warn you.

  1. If you disregard the last paragraph, this is the best piece I have ever read from Ephraim. I wouldn’t blame him for dragging and forcing Bushiri’s name into this article. Man’s gotta earn a living. Underline earn.

  4. somehow I feel like the tension is understandable because we 18 million Malawians we are being ruled by a candidate liked by just 1.9 million voters…

    1. Ilondolozeni mbiri abambo…musayankhule chonchi chifukwa chodana ndi Bushiri ……..Mulungu akudalitseni…

  7. sad people who are excited about things getting bad in their country. unfortunately God is not a child he will not let Malawi disintegrate into chaos. For those who are fueling discord and violence, watch out you will be the one to suffer. Most Malawians have lived peacefully despite their differences and poverty dont make them fight now. In Jesus name they will not fight.

    1. Daaaa. Nyondo is quoting the person who has called for Unity in Malawi so whats wrong with that? Just observe as per your name, Keen Observers, if you dont know what to comment.

  10. Inunso musaopseze wanthu apa! Dangerous times for Malawi, meaning what? Munakhalako Ku Mozambique, Angola or DRc inu? Dangerous times mukunena Mtamboyi, muli ndi zibwana eti!

  11. Fellow Malawians, the writer is only quoting what Bushiri said. He is not worshipping God. Whether you like it or not, whether it annoys you or not, the fact remains that Bushiri spoke, and we all know that he did. Period.

    1. Actually there are many Malawians who have spoken and how special is Bushiri to keep on making noise about him. Za usatanic zanuzo ku South Africa komko.

      1. you cant see spaciality in him because of difference in dimensions unless you are in spirit idont blame you

      2. ndipo inu!!! this twat always tries to stay relevant on issues he can barely articulate. amandichita irritate bwanji!

  14. I don’t think we needed the money laundering, womanising Bushiri to warn you and me that Malawi is heading for a historic transformation. It has been common knowledge all along ever since the May 21 elections were challenged in Court.
    There is always a price for freedom or, let’s say, democracy. What every patriotic Malawian hopes for is for power to be wretched away from the greedy, plundering, thieving DPP who have no regard whatsoever for taxpayers money that they can shamelessly siphon the government’s coffers for personal gains.
    What we are witnessing at the moment is our leaders authorising the drawing of public resources for bribery with the aim of perpetuating their evil ways at the expense of the very same people they pretend to care for.
    Mr Bushiri should therefore divert attention to soul related issues and not rubbish prophecies.. Malawians know what they want.

    1. malo moti azipanga prophesy za corona virus, ali busy pretending to prophesy what everyone knows is fact and needs no soothsayer

    1. Ndinu A Kabwafudi mwadzina lanu. You dont have wisdom at all. all what you know is castigating the Major Prophet, our papa. But at least you know that, he is the first person to call for unity after elections court ruling. All these others are just following suit. Like it or not, but thus the true story,

  17. Prophecy prophecy , God can use anything to speak to his people let who have ears hear what God said . The eyes are witnessing . Let his mercies locates the nation Malawi have sinned against God. God’s intervention.

  18. I thought mudziti don’t say that GOD didn’t warn u. Koma mukuti Bushiri, za ziii, u are still busy worshipping human being when you should have been worshipping GOD.

    1. You must be demonic, did God speak anything on this? Bushiri did, why mentioning God here? Be honest with yourself, the writer is not worshipping Bushiri, rather is making a reference to what Bushiri said. Learn to appreciate what others have done right, Bushiri contributed to what is going around with an advice, just as any Malawian is entittled

      1. Oh, so thats an advice not warning? Konseko kufuna kutchuka kuti ngati za usatanic zanuzo zidzachitike mudzidzati Bushiri warned

  19. The problem in our country is the availablity of people who don’t have any vision of the country to develop. As the population increases, the developments are dwindling. All it’s becoz of greedy , power hungry individuals and selfish leaders, Who thinks that only them can rule Malawi. From what Peter Munthalika said before 21st May general election, “that he will not allow MCP to rule the country “, even when MCP wins the election.That is the root cause of all what is happening in our country.All supporters of the ruling party should understand that the will of citizens is respected at all times. When you start to twist things in favour of a particular candidate, that is where things goes wrong. Malawi will never be ruled by one party, the country is
    democratic.When multiparty came MCP was ruling and they allowed people to choose what they wanted between multipartism and one party system. Malawians voted for multiparty system.Meaning all powers belong to the citizens to choose/vote the party and the leader they want.What I have observed is that DPP is acting like Malawi is in a one party system.Dpp has ruled Malawi has failed, allow other leaders to lead the country to prosperity.We are tired with the level of corruption and yourself you are involved in doing bad things.No matter how long it takes eventually DPP will be out of power.Thats Why they sent Mr Thom Mpinganjira to try to bribe the judges so that the ruling from the judges should favour DPP, this also did not succeed. Do not put blame on the Human Rights Defenders.Those are the consequences of greedy, power hungry individuals and selfish leaders, who wants to rule the country at all costs even if they lost the election , they try some tactics to make sure that they win.Dpp is just waiting time for Malawians, to start prospering.It is the DPP that are causing problems in the country. Remember to keep the peace.
