It started way back in late 1960s with MCP having Malawi Young Pioneers (MCP) where we told the young guys were undergoing agricultural training, but were able to handle military weapons and put on military-like attire. In UDF era, we had young democrats also so violent and could brutally attack anybody trying to oppose Bakili Muluzi on his political ideologies. In Bingu’s era (MHSRIP), we saw these cadets. Its in the blood of our politicians young or old. These young men threaten democratic values of our nation because the Media is very crucial for good governance in any democratic state

Malawi Police Crime Investigations Detectives should at all cost apprehend such dangerous wielding panga knives people and bring them before court to answer charges of likely causing conduct to breach peace in an environment in which there is calm, law and order. Where innocent people have assembled should not be used as a field where to exercise political intimidation on those perceived to be opponents. People’s gathering at the court had nothing to do with a political party.If prosecution proves problematic, MDF should disarm those panga militias just in the same way they did with the MYP in December 1993.
