DPP ‘spin’ on undressing women hits record low

January 22, 2019 James Nthondo -Nyasa Times 29 Comments

Desperate times! The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP attempt to ‘spin’ their militant youth cadets acts of stripping and beating innocent women in Mangochi has hit a record low after the party tried to organize a march against a united opposition news  conference condemning the evil acts.

Chazama: DPP director of women in awful spin

Women from across the political divide, are this morning holding a news conference to condemn the incident which happened in Mangochi where clearly visible DPP thugs are forcing out of a vehicle UTM Party supporters including women and forcing to undress them.

A video clip which has gone viral on social media shows the DPP thugs bragging that they should be filmed while roughing up the UTM supporters and stripping the women.

An attempt to ‘spin’ the incident had failed horribly after Director of Women in DPP who is also a cabinet minister Cecilia Chazama called for a march to present a petition to Vice president Saulos Chilima’s Area 12 residence for UTM to buy more T shirts for its supporters.

“Today all women are protesting against mchitidwe wa UTM okanganilana ma t-shirt ndikumawavula azimayi. We demand that UTM must provide more t-shirts to its supporters, discipline all the guys captured in the video clip and offer an apology to all women…. We are marching today…. Let us all meet from the old town hall, we are marching to Area 12 to present petition to Saulos Chilima, ayipeze pobwera ku USA,” reads a message from a DPP WhatsApp group.

“The National Director of Women Hon Chazama is inviting all women volunteers surrounding Lilongwe  to meet at our party headquarterss at 9am today before proceeding to the venue of the press conference,” reads another message.

But social commentators have laughed off the ‘spin’ saying this has reached a ‘record low’ of all ‘spins’ ever since political spins were invented’.

“I cannot believe that the whole DPP party would sink so low to do a political spin of this nature. Here it just shows that the party is on its way out. You mean they cannot see that the people in the video clip are DPP members. Others are coming out of Kamuzu Palace after collecting their payment for the violent acts? Some things are better left unsaid,” said Nicholas Phiri, a resident of Bangwe.

“DPP should be ashamed. You mean all these people in the party can stoop so low to do this kind of spin? I have now believed that when one is dying, he or she can’t hear a thing…ukamafa munthu mumayambadi ndi nkhutu kungontha,” added Kondwani Gama, a resident of Lilongwe’s Chinsapo township.

Centre for the Development of People (Cedep) executive director Gift Trapence and Youth and Society (YAS) executive director Charles Kajoloweka said violence should have no space in a democracy.

Said Trapence: “They should stop using violence as a means of suppressing freedom of association or assembly or expression.

“Malawians deserve better and people are after ideologies that will bring a difference to their lives and not savage politics.”

Kajoloweka, on the other hand, said: “This development is quite disheartening and so embarrassing. We cannot be using violence as a weapon to intimidate political opponents.”

Mustafa Hussein, a political scientist who teaches at the University of Malawi’s Chancellor College, described the violence as retrogressive in the democratic era.

  2. Nadi a mama Chazama , mwachitika wuli? You have no problem with a fellow woman being stripped off her clothes? Those of us who kniw you are shocked , but we shall pray for you to remain a committed and loving Christian mother

  3. Abale inu anyaniwa tikuwalekerera mwamva apa tiyeni zikhale ndewu zapachiweniweni tiona momwe zithere nafe patience yathapo pano

  4. Beating up opposition supporters and abusing women are clear signs of a failed government. The DPP are in a hole and they are continuing to dig it deeper. The police are too scared to investigate and take appropriate action against this type of thing. All the President can talk about are the stadiums he is going to build because he enjoys football!!!! Wow! Malawi needs such a President like a hole in the head. Come May it will be ‘Bye,bye Mr Mutharika, sorry to have known you!

  5. Zaonekeratu poyera tsopano kuti, the violence against opposition party members is orchestrated by the party at the highest level. Their actions are speaking louder than denials DPP know this. You can not bully people to vote you into government. You are diging your own grave. Come 21st May 2019 , mudzaona chomwe cinameta nkhanga mpala.

  7. Chazama you are one stupid woman who doesn’t know what you are talking about and doing. If it is about money just know that you have lost your dignity as a woman. It is better to keep quite sometime than try to be clever. Shame on you stupid woman Chazama.

  9. shame dpp iyaaa I can see kufunika kwa chilima mu dpp coz kutuluka kwake kwaoneseratu kut kwasala mbale zokha zosaganiza coz there is noi way muthu oti ndi minister azikhala pasongolo kusokoneza security mu dziko , ine sopano maganizo ovota abwera , viva chilima

  11. PLEASE THOSE THAT HAVE THEMEANS DO INFORM DONALD TRUMP AND THE HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION IN GENEVA! PETER AKAYANKHE MULANDU KU ICC AFTER HE IS BOOTED OUT OF POWER.

  12. I didn’t expect Chazama can sink so low like that. Our police has failed us we have seen the military akukagwira ku ma forest ena atalephera ntchito yawo. I think this is the time the military should come out of their cacoon and flee the lebwedelebwede Malawi. Malawi has reached a laze fairest country

  14. DPP leadership including Chazama , Mchacha and Duasi , are people without integrity all they know is brutality and false hood. Your days are numbered 16 million could not be crying day and night without God hearing there cry. Mark my words 21 May 2019 Its the judgement day

  15. A Chazama the video speaks for itself, those people ndiodana ndi UTM. If it was kuchepa kwa ma t-shirts oti agawidwe then sanakamuuza m’mayi kuti avale then azivula. Don’t twist nkhani. Just condemn the violence by your cadets. DPP the sinking ship.

  16. The problem in DPP is simple, there is Zero leadership. A President who is too old to do anything other than taking naps and managing his trips to the mens room, too timid to control his own cadets who are destroying his party. Basically the lunatics have taken control of the DPP asylum. The result is chaos. Even those who you’d expect to have the balls to speak out from within are too scared to do so within the party, afterall if the president is OK with it…………

    1. Zoopsa kwambiri al DPP team there cant even say anything on this n still more supporting them ma professor drs etc onse ziiii koma dausi wafika po kodi IG is from where? Zinazi bola to even resign from your post as IG if sakukuvera or akuuza zochita koz next you will answer iweyo IG

  17. NDALE ZIMENEZI SIZABWINO AYI PLEASE ALIYESE ALANDIUFULU OSAKHA CHIPANI CHAKE OSATI ZOKAKAMIZANANZO AYI AMALAWI IZI NDI ZIJA ZOTI CHIPANI CHINA CHAWINA CHOLAMULA CHALEPHE NDIZIJA ANTHU AMATHAWA ENA KUZIMANGILIRA KUMENE, KUMAKHALA KUGANIZA ZOMWE AMAPANGILA AZAWO ZIJA MWINA ATUBWEZELA NDE CHONDE CHENJELANI POPANGAZITHU

  18. This country we need apolitical (non partisan) law enforcement agents, if the police has failed to protect its citizen then its better to try the military to protect us from these DPP thugs, tatopa ndi za iwo.

    1. Mayi Chazama akuoneka aulemu but it seems she doesn’t have brains. Violence will not the DPP anywhere. Anthu anasiya kuopa masiku ano.
