DPP cadets beat up UTM’s Chidanti in Nsanje

March 31, 2019 James Nthondo - Nyasa Times 51 Comments

Over 100  ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) cadets descended on UTM Party spokesperson Dr Joseph Chidanti Malunga beating him up in Nsanje on Sunday afternoon and had to run to Police to save his life.

Chidanti beaten by DPP cadets

Chidanti confirmed in an interview with Nyasa Times that indeed he was beaten and is taking refuge at Nsanje Police Station.

“Its true I have been beaten by DPP cadets who were trying to remove our flags here in Nsanje. Right now am at Nsanje Police Station for my safety, ” said Chidanti.

He condemned the political violence saying Malawi is for everyone and people should not be intimidated.

Other sources in Nsanje said the DPP cadets were removing flags of all other political parties save for DPP and UDF in preparation for a DPP rally.

UTM Secretary General Patricia Kaliati condemned the incident and said the party will report the issue to the Malawi Electoral Commission for their action.

” We have been saying all along that DPP is scared and has been sponsoring violence. Since Malawi Electoral Commission said we should be reporting these kind of incidents especially now that we are in campaign period, we will do just that,” said Kaliati.

“This violence by DPP just vindicates our position we have been saying all along that this party is on it’s way out and it’s very painful when you see clearly that a woman doesn’t want you anymore, others resort to violence and this is what is happening to DPP,” added Kaliati.

  1. Jane ansah hides her frustration. She got lots on her plate, contracts monitoring, looking after her sickly hubby, maenda awa siosewra naotu.
    Aona ma proglam aku UK! Nzoculuka izi.
    Timudziwa mlungu winawoooo

  3. aaaa hahaha Kaliati ukuti chani nawe nowadays nkazi kukukana sichinthu chopweteka umangothokoza kuti ndimwai wanga

  4. DPP keeps violating Electoral law with impunity……………

    Last of last week it was a Chief up North campaigning for DPP and DPP through Ben Phiri defended him as freedom of expression….and since MEC did nothing, DPP has beaten Malunga………..what next? Ndiye a MEC zipani zina zitani poziteteza?

    Whatever happens now onwards, MEC you are responsible because you are biased and unfair………….you are favouring the ruling party and there is no need to report to police or MEC because both organizations are conspiring to leave DPP violating the electoral law with impunity.

    The police, as professional as you are that is if you are because being trained and being professional are two different issues, how could you allow a national to be beaten up the point of ‘seeking asylum’ and you just accept him without even arresting one perpetrator of the violence?

    Why should we have the national police in the first place if they cannot protect the citizens? Civilized policemen understand what I am talking about………Please stop this violence before it escalates

    This is shameful to the nation……….

    1. Jane Ansah is DPP cadet & she doesn’t even hide it at all. She painted her A/3 house BLUE, dpp flag. She uses her blue “Ndata” house to syphone MEC funds, giving herself contracts for accommodation of any MEC activity in Lilongwe.
      To Ansah, unlike most lady Judges, (like Justice Msosa), the phrase “conflict of interest” does not exist to her. She is a DPP worker and she simply doesn’t care.

  7. Am an MCP fan what those cadets have to Malunga ndizomvetsa chisoni God is watch tionetsana pa 21 may ishud not bit around the bush dpp is going out

    1. masangwi is a bad khluku and zitha kutheka kuti ndi za bonza angofuna kupeza njila yotchukilapo mainly inu anyasatimes pofuna kuipitsa mbiri ya ena.

  11. Thank you the so called ‘DPP police’ forgiving refuge to Malunga of UTM- you surely do not take sides

      1. Chitukuko chake chiti………???? Mulibe manyazi kumenya anthu……kuzolowera…remember, there is God in heaven………..nthawi yikukwanirani!

    1. Chitukuko mmachidziwa inu ? Nanunso mutiyankhulisa pambali , pajatu tisaiwale Atumbuka ndi anthu ombwambwana kwambiri , nchifukwa chake simuzalamulira dzikolino mpaka kalekale.. Paja makolo anu amakuuzani kuti muphunzire mukaone ku Blantyre .Anthu osazindikira inu , ndimayesa chitukuko ndalama zake ndizanu, misonkho yanu ,.mukuyamikira munthu kuti wapanga chitukuko pomwe ndalama mmatulusa ndinu , muzachangamuka liti anthu inu ?

  14. DPP government and it’s police are simply too stupid. For God sake for how long are we going to talk about this stupid conduct by DPP and police failure to reign in on this nuisance. Mutharika, Malawi is a democracy and as a prof you should understand what this entails. Surely Mutharika, DPP and malawi police are simply irrelevant in the new political dispensation. They are a threat to democracy.. Simply put they are stupid. Mutharika would not understand and know the price that Malawians paid for this democracy he and DPP are messing up as this old man was having quality time in the land of democracy. It’s simply stupid to have such a person as president. For someone who stayed in the states for well over 40 years it’s simply incomprehensible to imagine to the kind of stupidity on display.

    1. Of coz these guys after inheriting foul mouthing from Callista, Kalaiti andtheir Arafat Hamdan beating them up at times will bring some sense into their useless brains. Koma zikuoneka kuti sanamuumbuzetu ngati mmene anamuumbuzira Winiko muja. Next time those beaters could do a better justice to these zombies

  19. Why just DPP penetrating violence, Why!Why! The former MYP terrorists in DPP are the Architects: Dausi, Mchacha, etc.

  21. The only way to stop DPP violence, is by engaging your own thugs for defence. In the 1990s there was this small party (Titus Mvalo was one of its leaders) which successfully employed this defensive tactic against UDF “young democrats”. A bully will not attack you if he knows that you are willing to protect yourself, UTM is big enough to pay for its own thugs…and they don’t cost that much

    1. NDA had very good self defence tactic mpakana UDF yinalira chweeeee kenaka kunali bata!

  22. UTM kukula mtima. We hear you didn’t even have flags in the area. You started planting them upon hearing the coming of Nankhumwa. That’s provocatoon. Where were you all this time?

  23. Having been in the DPP until recently, Dr. Chidanti should be able to recognize a few faces of the thugs that beat him. That should be the starting point!

  25. This kind of violence by DPP cadets is a reason on its own for the DPP to be kicked out in the election. The ‘D’ for Democracy should now be removed from the title of the ruling party. It is anything but democratic. Having removed the ‘D’, the party itself must be removed from office. The police are clearly under the thumb of the DPP when they take no action against these thugs.

  26. You mean the cadets hsd the balls to beat him up in his own bedroom ? Dr
    Malunga is useless then !!

  28. We have a huge problem in Malawi; no police. That’s why these so-called cadets can behave the way they do. Yes, no police in Malawi. You see unruly motorists driving around with no number plates save for the stupid “Ana a Dad” or “Aimanso” signs and the police just look on. Pity.

    1. Of coz it seems a partial panel beating. Doctor ogulitsa ma computer ku Bunda can’t be wise. Ena anatiuza zoti man yi ndi zoba.

  30. A MEC gwirani ntchito yanu… Police- Malawi wake up. Tisamve zoti simunamangepo ndi mmodzi yemwe apa

  31. It’s very unfortunate and uncivil for a political grouping to employ violence against those with opposite views. Where is our once peaceful nation heading to?

    May the good Lord our God save us these barbaric attacks so that peace and tranquility can reign on.

  32. DPP unfortunately is a leaderless party at the moment. All is lost, what is left now is just violence, led by the ministers of police! What a joke. kkkkk

  33. Fisi akasala pang`ono kufa omuphanu muyenera kuchenjera chifukwa pomwe iye akufa ena amakhala akupita ku chipatala ndi mabala!!!!!!!!!! Ulendo uwu wa chipani!!

  34. Dzulo wina wa utm watukwana JB, Chakwera and Khumbo Kachali in Dedza yet you can’t contain dpp cadets in Mulanje, Mangochi, Nsanje etc. You chose to work with dpp and said bad things about MCP. Just know that you can’t win in the south where there are so many thugs. Chilima is useless and says of nkhaza under MCP yet he lived happily in Nyambadwe when his father was an engineer at Air Malawi. Chilima left Ntcheu to settle at Njewa in Lilongwe. Mukamanyoza mudzinyoza bwino. How can you say bad things about Khunbo’s dressing? His jackets. Utm are just too childish and no wonder the party is full of prostitutes. If you want clean politics just vote dpp out but don’t vote utm in. We have tried udf they are violent. PP were better. Dpp under Bingu was not violent but Alamu Pumani Mwakalamba doesn’t talk but very deadly.
