DPP cancels rally to pave way for UTM launch in Mzuzu: Callista set for more ‘mtchona’ slurs
The governing Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) has cancelled its rally at Katoto Ground which coincided with the United Transformation Movement (UTM) rally in Mzuzu to be addressed by Vice-President Saulos Chilima this Saturday.
The DPP cancelled the rally amid commentators saying it could be a recipe for violence as the UTM has their scheduled launch of the North at a stone throw distance of Mzuzu upper stadium.
UTM spokesperson Joseph Chidanti Malunga said they were the first to book a rally in Mzuzu on the day.
He said their supporters will not waste time to engage in violent scenes since they are eager to listen to the message from their leader and the country’s Vice-President Chilima.
But DPP regional governor for the North Kenneth Sanga said they have decided to cancel the rally so that they could address 22 meetings in Mzimba this Sunday.
“The DPP is holding a series of meetings on Sunday and we are going flat out,” Sanga said.
The UTM rally will be held when Mzuzu City legislator Leonard Njikho has ditched DPP and could be welcomed into the newly formed political movement.
Meanwhile, it is expected to be seen whether former first lady and the incumbent President Peter Mutharika’s in-law Callista Mutharika would maintain the jibe of calling him ‘mtchona’, a description of someone who has been away from his or her country for long after former president Bakili Muluzi censured her.
In an address to the United Democratic Front (UDF) convention at Comesa Hall in Blantyre on Wednesday, Muluzi—the country’s second Head of State who formed the first multiparty administration in 1994— called for politicians to respect President Mutharika and desist from abusing the spirit of multiparty democracy as that is destroying the country.
Said Muluzi: “Please do not destroy this country because of politics. This is the only country we have. Should we destroy it because of politics? Multiparty should not destroy this country. Whether mlamu [in-law] or not, you cannot stand on the podium and call your President mtchona.”
But analyst Henry Chingaipe said there is nothing wrong with calling Mutharika that way because it is a truth that exists.
According to Chingaipe, the fact that Mutharika is a ‘mtchona’ and what the former first lady and the incumbent President’s in-law Callista Mutharika and others said about him is just a statement of fact since Mutharika stayed abroad for decades where he was employed as an academic.
Callista is expected to address the Mzuzu rally and would throw in slurs to spice her speech.
Politicians from DPP have on different occasions used foul and degrading language against their rival as recently the party’s Southern Region governor Charles Mchacha publicly used offensive remarks to Mulanje West legislator Patricia Kaliati through her husband and Mulanje Pasani legislator Angie Kaliati at a rally addressed by Mutharika. The President did not condemn the unsavoury remarks.

Tsopano Mai Callista ndi chani eeeeeh akuchita kuoneka kuti panali kulalata eeeeeee azimai
Anyway even Calista married a mtchona, Bingu.
Mwambi wankhaniyi ndiuwu MWANA AKALILIRA NYANGA YANSATSI MSEMERE IMFOTERE YEKHA.
When I was working in Mzuzu, I overhead people saying: Wamunkhwele wakusekana chimphata my poor Tumbuka translation is Monkeys do not laugh at each other. Muluzi should first repent and confess to all Malawians that he mess the political landscape by introducing hate speech and other evils. It was Bakili Muluzi was the Professor of this school of thought he condemns today. In fact, the DPP , PP and UDF guys are his disciples. He has not explained to us what happen to Matafale and Con. Njoloma and General Chigawa of MDF. If some of you are doubting ask ababa JZU Tembo. I cannot waste my time listening this hypocrite.
It holiday fever for boys and girls. There is no knew here.Chipwikiti Party.Too many cooks.
They are afraid that their crowd will be smaller than UTMs.
Callista the thief and woyankhula mwa mwano.
As a matter of fact Mutharika and DPP themselves pride in his lengthy stay in USA.
Baffling that they don’t want him to be called a mtchona. May be this Chichewa word doesn’t sound okay for them.
Probably they would like us to say he was a sojourner or an overstayer and not a mtchona!
Mtchona is one who stayed away from the country of birth (home) for many years. APM is a classic example.
A DPP akunjenjemera eti!!! Wakuba athawa yekha!
They have canceled their rally not because of meetings in Mzimba but because only a handful people would attend it. People will trek to UTM the new hope and DPP leaders saw an embarrassing moment coming with Chilima at the upper stadium-their rally would be overshadowed by the rally by UTM leaders. DPP should also be aware that UTM has already won the hearts of many northerners.
Thirty two tablets per a day and Kaliati sipping soapy waters from shaved beards which in simple Chichewa she is a dunderhead who can’t tell a tail from a head Bakili isn’t an elder statesman he is partisan purchasing palliatives from the DPP pharmacy selective listening and advice on protection of his democracy
Callisto is from DPP and this party is known for kutukwana and kunyoza. In fact it was started by Bakili Muluzi himself. He was the master as people were cheering him on and now he has conveniently forgotten. However, castigating each other won’t take Malawi anywhere. In any case this world is round and who knows one day those castigating each may end up in the same house or their kids marrying each other. It is very unbecoming and unMalawians kutukwanana gnat ana. Let our logic and persuasion skills do the dance and let people hear what the political parties are going to deliver for the people.
Callista ni mama wambura mahara. Wajiruwira kuti wakakharanga pakuguna pamoza na Bingu (mhsrp). She is a good for nothing. In Blantyre she lied that first lady wakaferuka ku St Mary’….utesi chomene.
Well done DPP this is the way to go osati zachimidzi midzi mumafunazo ayi pple can attend UTM rally and not every one is their member tidzavota ndife mtima pansi
Mwaopa kuti kukabwera anthu 5 okhatu
Yes yes UTM forever
I cannot imagine joining a movement! After all it’s a just a movement. A group of excited people that allerge to have left DPP. It’s UTM drama group. Gulu la zionetselo!
Good that Callista is being put forward for her slurs – people will just be reminded about how she used to abuse us when she was First Lady – when she used to receive a huge salary for doing NOTHING. UTM is full of thieves and crooks.
Waste your Vote on UTM ( DPPteam B).They have nothing to lose.SKC will get his Vice President Pension.Enao azatobwelera Ku DPP ikazatowina.In 2014 the North massively voted for JB if you had given those votes to Lazarus and Msowoya we could have buried these Thieves for Good.Muzarira if you don’t learn from the Past.
Which north voted massively for JB? North America?
akuziwa a dpp kuti kwawo kukakhala kopanda anthu…kkkkkk ndipo ku Mzimba akupitako akukanamiza ndani pano ndi zaka zingati zakumanga Momberra university? anthu akuona ndipo atopa nalo bodza la DPP
Zitsiru zeni zeni za DPP. Aona okha kuti akachita manyazi ku msonkhano wao komwe akanakakhala ndi anthu awiri okha. You should have learnt a lesson after your sinister attempts to stop people from going to Masintha and Njamba. Chilima and UTM are unstoppable. Dzanja lalemba!!
A Callista, now you want Malawians kuti akulembeni ntchito kuti muziwadzatozanso. Is not you, when people complained about fuel shortages muli ku State house, you had the audacity to challenge Malawians to sleep on the road if a car would not hit them. Lero mukufuna a Malawi omwe. God should save us!
