DPP cadets block Kaliati at Parliament accusing her of backing Chilima-for-president movement: Masangwi, Mchacha trade barbs

The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) youth cadets on Friday blocked member of Parliament (MP) for Mulanje West Patricia Kaliati from going to parliament to attend State opening for budget session by President Peter Mutharika, accusing her of supposing  Vice-President Saulos Chilima.

Kaliati harassed by DPP youth cadets at Parliament for supporting Chilima-for-President calls

The irate youth cadets led DPP Southern Region governor Charles Mchacha,  confiscated keys of  Kaliati vehicle and blocked her at the gates of the National Assembly.

Nyasa Times correspondent witnessed Kaliati being turned back by DPP youth cadets, some brandishing knives.

Kaliati is also director of women in DPP sought for police help to usher her in Parliament.

The DPP youth cadets challenged Kaliati that “nothing will happen to us.”

The youth militia were also hunting to humiliate for other DPP legislators backing  Chilima-for-President crusade that is gaining support and possibly turn into a movement within the rank and file of the party.

Former First Lady Callista Mutharika openly thrusts Vice President Saulos Chilima towards a presidential run under the DPP banner at the expense of incumbent Peter Mutharika—who is her brother in-law— a proposal which has been backed by some members of the party including legislators Bon Kalindo, Noel Masangwi and Allan Ngumuya.

Callista openly said her in-law President Mutharika is “aged”; hence, Malawians should not give him their vote and install Chilima as President instead.

However, Masangwi confronted  Mchacha and warned him against unleashing violence against the voice of reason.

“This is bad politics… don’t kill democracy,” he charged.

When contacted Masangwi confirmed that indeed Kaliati was blocked and  had her vehicle keys confiscated by cadets while insulting her in presence of Police for supporting  Chilima camp.
 “I was blocked on the gate, there’s a list of the people to enter and not even police told me not to enter they kept me waiting, had to turn back but luckily I saw VP convoy and I joined it and luckily I found myself in the parliament, some of my colleagues like Kalindo and others had to jump into their friends cars and disguise themselves to come to Parliament.
“The terror campaign launched by DPP should spare Parliament,” said Masangwi.
It is reported that Mchacha had paid some rough necks K50 000 each to harass those in support of Chilima.
The endorsement of Chilima has worsened the tension between the President and Vice President and divided the ruling DPP.

But Mchacha scoffed at the accusation that he is being the terror machinery, insisting the youths are only backing Mutharika as their presidential candidate for the 2019 elections.

“We resolved that President Mutharika was the only centre of power, and unanimously agreed that Mutharika would be our President beyond 2019. Those who choose to ignore this will face the full wrath of the party,” he said.

  4. Aubrey Sumbuleta, this is a good material for what you call heritage programme. I hope you and your chap Filipo are working on it so that you can inspire the nation into violence

  5. Chilima, where ever you are, do you want to be part of this legacy? Are you happy to see young men being used like this? This is your party Chilima. Zizavuta kukana patsogolo when people will start saying you were there and you were the Vice President. What did you do?

    1. In your dreams that can happen Wandale, if you want them to test their own medicine, send them to try mcp and you will see blood on the dance floor, let those orphans play around with fools in dpp because they are the same.

  7. @ LAST MP LIKE PATRICIA KALI ATI ARE GETTING THE DOSAGE OF THEIR PARTY’S TERROR

  8. Chipani choyendetsedwa ndi Professor!!!! Maybe he is a Nutty Professor.

  9. Tsopano Mulungu wasiya kupereka chiweruzo pomaliza kwa anthu omwe achimwa wayamba pompo pompo monga tikuona DPP amanyoza ndikusonkhezera MCP , kukonzekera kudzanena zamboza tsoka I’ll mnyumba mwathu mwalowa chpwirikiti choti dausi ndi mtaba a katswiri odziwa kumyamyateka pabodza asowa chochita pamenepa. Koma ngati kwatuluka ma T-shirt a chilima zitha bwino kuchipani kumeneku Ask Jesus this question.

  11. Inu a DPP, chonde chonde aganizireni ma Cadet. Paint kaya makaka, kaya, chalk akudzorachi chiwapweteka! Chokochitu chikulowa mthupi mwa anyamatawa. Adzadwala mtsogolo muno anawa. Anawa alibe medical scheme yiriyonse. Simukuwathandiza.

    1. Dzitsilu ndi anyamatawa adzadwale ndiye bwino They can’t beg good things to assist them now and in the futule but they beg paint zomvetsa chisoni God could you please open the eyes of these stupid boys

  12. One day the DPP will get out of the government and the likes of Mchacha who are unleashing the “Full wrath of the party” will face the long arm of the Law. For some reason Mchacha feels he is above the Law!!

  14. That’s what you get when you have shithole president. It’s pure stupidity that a whole president would tolerate this utter thuggery and stupidity. And this fool you call Jose can’t do anything to deal with those hoodlums. Pathetic president

  15. What does this animal called mchacha or mcheche or mchuchu what ever you call him think he is. I would like to warn him that if he thinks he is one of the mafia, he is just cheating himself. We from the Chilima camp are as rough as they think they are. While their knives and pangas are one sided ours are double so let them watch out. We shall not allow this to continue in the excuse of backing the old guy as president. By the way, I think DPP is as blind as it was PP in 2014. Cant they see the writings on the walls that the words are written in capital letters as PAULENDO!!!!!!

    1. This is really disgusting what kind of a country is this? If people of unruly behaviour are allowed in the honourable house ,where else are we going to get the honourof this country.I understand our President is one of well educated president in the continent but why is he allowing this behavior ?

    2. Who in their right mind would appear and look like that! DPP cadets my foot! MABULUTU!

  16. If Mchacha is preparing war against all peace loving MALAWIANS he better let us know and we shall defend our country.Let me just advise him the so called Mchacha and his co,the politics you are practicing is long over gone and we are in a democracy era and everyone has got rights to say and choose the president he/she wants to be.What you must know is,”woyenda ndi lupanga azafa ndi lupanga lake lomwelo(what goes round comes round).”To you police also,you are not there because of DPP but to protect every Malawian citizen regardless of where he/she is coming from or party he/she belongs.To you Malawi Army,why do you allow DPP to form militias in our country?Are they not preparing war against Malawians whereby you are there to defend our country?You must not forget in the era of Kamuzu Banda,he had MYP and what happened?To us youths,Lets Stand Up and Defend OUR Beloved Country,mALAWI.

  17. AM FROM NTCHEU BUT CHILIMA,FOR WHAT? UPULEZIDENTITU SIZONGOCHOKA POGULITSA MAUNITS KAPENA KUNGOCHOKA MKACHISI BASI UVEKELE NDINE PRESDENT,IYI SINKHANI YOPHWEKA NGATI KUPEKA NYIMBO KAPENA KUYIMBA MAGITALA.UTSOGOLELI UMAFUNIKA MZELU ZENIZENI ZAKUYA,MULEKENI PETER APITILIZE KUTI TIDZAONE KULEPHELA KWAKE.

    1. Zoti walephera kale simukudziwa?. We can’t waste 5 more years on him again because his failures are just too much to comprehend. He is useless and sorry next year he is going

  18. The people who are supporting Chilima should resign from the DPP. Let them start their own party where they can make Chilima their 2019 presidential candidate. They even have the option of joining MCP or AFORD. Their argument is becoming silly everyday because if they are not satisfied in the DPP, the best way for them is to leave DPP. Is Chakwera from the South? Why is MCP not fielding a presidential candidate from the South? What about AFORD? So why on earth are they keeping talking about Chilima? Adya za Mia eti?

  21. One can only pity with Mrs Kaliati, but she is finally testing the bitter pill she helped inventing. It’s a matter of time Mchacha, Ben Phiri and the likes will soon test it too.
    DPP royalists anzawo akamadandaula amaona ngati ati amadana nawo.
    Let lamulo ndi a police akhale ndi mphamvu than ma CADET. Ndi izi, you tamed the MONSTER now it’s baying for your blood.
    SHAME on THUGS!!!

  22. This is internal combustion. DPP blowing itself up inside out. Crazy. This is so shameful
    Aren’t there anu mature people to sit and talk this out as one DPP? Unreal.

  23. Slowly, some doors in the era of kwa madala in Malawian politics is starting to close

  24. People who think and believe have support always leave the party they feel uncomfortable with and either join other parties or form their own together with their supporters. Good examples are The late Gwanda Chakwamba who left MCP to form RP, late Bingu wa Mutharika who left UDF to form DPP, Julius Malema of South Africa who left ANC to form FP and many others.
    It is a waste of time to form a movement, just follow the examples above.
    We are aware most of the people in this so called movement have issues. They thought APM will give them green light to plunder the economy. They are now looking for a soft spot to steal. If they were supporting me, I would have disassociated myself with them because of their questionable character. Since birds of the same feathers flock together, they have identified a bird with similar feathers to theirs.
    Please do not steal DPP. Leave the party and its leadership alone. The DPP constitution does not provide for former First Ladies to force people to be presidential candidates.
    Fare thee well members of the movement. The political party register is not yet full. Please do the needful.
    APM AND DPP PLEASE MATCH ON TO VICTORY IN 2019. VICTORY IS YOURS!!!!

    1. Poor thinking again from brother Hatton. Much as they are free to leave the party, do you think it’s good to harass one another? What is democracy brother? We are also in DPP but what is going on is a shame. Unfortunately we know you.

    2. poor minded person. Malawi doesnt need another party, it just need reformation from the exixting party period.

    3. @ Hatton

      Fine we have heard you bafoon on your ranting. Now What do you have to say regarding the substantive issue being covered in this report: that is DPP thugs harassing and molesting a helpless woman going to parly?. The problem with you Hatton is that your mind is tightly clowded with the partisan politics that you can’t see anything wrong with DPP roughnecks and thugs harassing one of your own or let alone a bonafide citizen of this country in the presence of your police. Surely you are a shame. What is the difference between kaliati and your mama or your wife. Would you tolerate such thuggery if it were your mama or wife. I think you are simply stupid Hatton . No apologies. Malawi is bigger than DPP remember.

    4. Well, well……..MCP is on its deathbed, UDF is hardly recognisable, Bingu-led DPP is dead; PP is in tatters and can hardly be called a political party and logic follows that Peter-led DPP is also on its way to graveyard, like all other political parties before it. Malawians should be obsessing about who the new leader will be and which new party is going to emerge. Connect the dots Hatton…..connect the dots!

    5. Machende ako iweyo, munthu opanda nzelu. I mean they have a legit and solid reason. Why always thinking negatively! Your mentality is disgusting. Stupid person

    6. Inu ndiwoganiza mopelewera. Are you supporting what your fellow idiots have done? May be it is you we are seeing in the picture?

    7. Hatton, you’re RIGHT. Those who want Chilima for president should leave DPP and start a new political party with him. SIMPLE. They have the democratic right to do so. Asatisokosele.

  25. Shame on Malawi Police Service. Such behaviour should not be tolerated anywhere… let alone at Parliament gates…. If I were the IG , If I were Deputy IG for Operations I would humbly resign for failure to do my job.

  26. Mchonayu administration yamuvuta, achimaliza chipanichi but what he should know is that when the wind of “change” blows, no one stops it. we saw it during Kamuzu era, bakili tried as well to no success.

  27. This is how dpp is finished. They laughed at UDF now it is their turn dpp will be finished like makatani come 2019.

  28. Please can NGC urgently meet and discuss Chilima issue and his entourage we are tired of this story. I think secretly Chilima is giving them support

  29. When parliament is starting, I thought the MPs have immunity. The parliament is a protected zone. Silly Malawian leadership.

  32. Please DPP spare us your Drama. It is clear that people do not want your granny let him go and rest. Its time new blood is ushered into power Chilima woyeee

  34. mchacha ndi chifwamba ndipo ndizosakaikisa kupereka ndalama kwama cadets kuti azunze mayi ophoda kaliati shha shame on diphiphi mwayamba kufuna kutemana nokhanokha ,muyaluka

  35. Kwatentha Angulu alindi ulemu Mayi Callista wathandiza kugawanitsa DPP however innocent Kaliati might be the DPP henchmen will never refrain from manhandling silent followers of SKC saga as for the Callista handclappers they will forever be in the 1984 Orwellian situation the Big Brother won’t let them off circuit but all the so-called cadets will appreciate the sudden fall of the rabid L Ngalande who enjoyed dubious prominence by beating up the PP supporter Mama Jumbe. Most of these idiots are gangsters the party tent in which they are is likely to get torn despite spearheading evil our DPP will be in mortuary next year

  36. The Malawi Constitution allow APM to stand for another term. Chilima is only 46 years. He has to wait for 2014 or else he must form his own party like Joyce Banda. Chilima cannot win on DPP ticket. He is not connected to DPP supporters.

  40. Continue to dismantle /tear the party apart. The same people you are harassing are enough to earn someone some votes by reducing voters of the old president. We are here to watch Mchacha doing it.

  41. This is what is called karma. DPP created a monster in its own ranks………the undisciplined youth league, and now its turning against its own members. I can bet my last Kwacha that the same unruly youth league will unleash some unthinkable to their own president, Peter Mutharika, and Mchacha himself….watch the space. DPP has created zimbalangondo and they will turn against all of them. Opposition parties will just need to give them K100,000 each and that’s it. motoooo buuuuuu!!!!!

  42. A house divided will surely not stand. I recall what Times said way long before these squabbles started, ‘ it is not all well in DPP, let them not laugh at what is happening in MCP. It is a matter of time’. Brian Banda said that with his colleague on an evening program ‘Kwagwanji’. Trouble is escalating now. These are not good signs.
    Why did the police not arrest those who were roughing up Patricia Kaliati? Impunity! If it were an opposition member, it would have been big news headlines and somebody would have been in police custody by now. Look at how the police apprehended those people in Mzuzu who tore the billboard which was just a paper impression, less prized possession for that matter! Patricia is human, she is not a paper impression and yet the police failed to apprehend the culprits. Hmmmmmmmm reign of terror! Shame

    1. Malawi police is a disgrace. how can they allow bad things happening on their own watch? if they can compromise security at parliament, are we safe in these so called Malawi police’s hands? We always say nobody is above the law, but i think in Malawi some people high above the said law. shame on Malawi!!
