DPP’s Mchacha, Paramount Chief Lundu hit at ‘poisonous’ MCP-PP alliance

April 15, 2019 Osman Faiti -Nyasa Times 42 Comments

The governing Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) has said the recently formed Malawi Congress Party (MCP) and People’s Party (PP) electoral alliance is “poisonous” and threatens the very fabric of Malawi’s political, social and economic life and undermines the tenets of democracy.

Charles Mchacha, the flamboyant DPP regional governor for southern region, made the scathing attacks during whistle-stop campaign rallies addressed by DPP vice president for the region, Kondwani Nankhumwa at Mitondo in Chikwawa east, Nchalo in Chikwawa central and Chikwawa Boma in Chikwawa north constituency on Sunday April 14  ahead of the May 21, 2019 watershed tripartite elections.

He claimed that the MCP-PP alliance is a union of “murderers and thieves”, which is detrimental to political, social and economic development of the country.

Mchacha observed that from 1964 until some three decades ago, the MCP presided over one of the most notorious and autocratic regimes in the history of post-independent Africa.

“It is a fact known to many people that during the brutal MCP regime between 1964 and 1994, many sons and daughters of Malawi were brutally killed, detained without trial and fled into exile for political reasons. The Lower Shire has had its fair of MCP atrocities; many people here lost many property including their cattle during those dark days of MCP,” Mchacha told hundreds of enthusiastic DPP supporters during the tour.

He said Malawians must not allow MCP to crawl back into government because it is simply suicidal and thus dangerous.

Mchacha said Malawians should say an “emphatic no” to the return of MCP and its dark legacy. He said the latest apology by MCP leader Lazarus Chakwera should not be taken seriously as it does very little to heal the wounds Malawians suffered under the party’s atrocious regime.

The regional governor who is also deputy minister of Homeland Security said to make matters worse, MCP has partnered with PP of former President Joyce Banda, a party infamous for cashgate.

He said ex-president Banda presided over the massive theft of billions of Malawi Kwacha when she was Head of State and no sane person could dare offer Banda an opportunity to return to the corridors of government.

“So you can see that this is a very dangerous combination; that of murders and thieves. Banda went abroad in self-imposed exile because she faces a myriad of charges of corruption,” claimed Mchacha.

The Paramount Chief Lundu of Sena and Mang’anya people of Lower Shire concurred with Mchacha, saying he was there when Kamuzu Banda came to Malawi in 1958 and saw his departure after the referendum in 1993 and general elections of 1994.

“I am old enough to give you my people a true testimony of how brutal the MCP regime was. It would be foolhardy for us to vote for a party renowned for torture and murder,” said the Paramount Chief.

On his part, Nankhumwa encouraged Malawians to vote for President Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika, DPP MPs and councillors on May 21 for uninterrupted social and economic development.

In Chikwawa central, Nankhumwa said the party has Samuel Office as its candidate while in east and north, DPP parliamentary candidates are Griford Maulidi and Owen Chomanika, respectively.

Nankhumwa pledged that would ensure that Lower Shire flood victims are looked after properly until their lives return to normal, warning officials tasked with distributing relief items against indulging in theft and corruption as they would face the music.

He also pledged that government would ensure that construction of the modern tarmac road from Thabwa to Fatima is expedited.

  1. A Mchacha, siyani kulubwalubwa, boma likupita ku MCP iri. Onsewa mantha. Prepare to leave, mwanyanya kuba ndi nepotism. U will not cheat Malawians anymore, yo time is over

  4. A MCHACHA KUDA KOSAKUKHALANIKO NKHOPE YAWO IMANGOWONETSERATU KUTI NDI CHIGAWENGA CHENI CHENI MUPAKIRA MCP IS TAKING THE THRONE

    1. CheDzonzi pitani ku nkhani yokhuza UTM mukapange komenti. Apa muli Out of Bounds. Kkkkkkkkkkkk

  6. Look at who is talking. Do you think we will forget the July 20 victims, Chasowa, Njaunju and the many albinos who are being butchered under your watch. Can this idiot, this intellectually challenged Mchacha point to one current MCP member who is alleged to have been involved in murdering people during the MCP regime? Can he do the same in his own party and see which party is a party of murderers. Which party is composed of most thieves? Mchacha and Lundu just need to look no further than the man at the hem of DPP, APM himself. He is the prince of thieves leading a gang of thieves disguised as a party. You people are caught between a hard place and rock. Chilima promises to prosecute you, and recover what you have stolen. Likewise Chakwera promises the same. You have no idea how you are going to get out of this. You only have 35 days to enjoy your stolen loot.

    By the way, why is this man called Lundu still a chief? The man needs to be removed as chief within the first 100 days of a new government and install someone who will truly perform his chieftaincy duties.

  7. Results of May 21 Tripartite elections will be as follows:
    1. MCP – 2,900,000
    2. DPP- 1,900,000
    3. UTM- 1,746,000
    Discredit this information at your own peril. DPP will this time around be an official opposition party.

  8. So all the way just to talk about MCP, it good you now know that MCP is forming the next government. back in power.

  10. A LUNDU mesa a MEC anena kuti mafumu asamapange campaign yokomera chipani chimodzi??? MEC ntchitotu iyi pa LUNDU. mufunanso umboni wanji kuti LUNDU is pro-DPP?

MCP of 2014 was good, but this mcp of today is just full of rotten politicains who are power hungry chakwera broke and power hungry, JB power hungry and control freak, currently controlling chakwera, mia & hurry are both too rich and power hungry. SO THE MILLION DOLLAR QUESTION TO MCP SUPPORTERS IS, WHO IS YOUR BOSS????

  16. I do not know why such an idiot was elected as a chief. I have seen so many chief in thei world but this idiot has triffld former knowings because he can hardly understand the law.
    Kindly drag this idiot t court and finish him there

  18. Actually it is the DPP that harbours all killers and thieves. All those that killed and stole government money joined the DPP to seek refuge and top jobs. It is not the party that kills and steals, it is individuals in the party. Dausi and Ntaba were members of MCP during Kamuzu era. No current top MCP official was there then. In fact, this campaign of branding MCP as a killer lost its significance. It worked in 1994. With time Malawians have realised the need to focus on development issues. MCP is winning these elections, this I can assure you.

  21. Only idiots still think post 1993 MCP is as cruel as that of the Ntaba/Dausi era. It’s sad that even APM, knowledgeable as he is, thinks so. Any attempt to dissuade voters by painting MCP as a cruel party is a complete waste of time since Malawians now know what they want and this is to ensure DPP is booted out on 21 May.

    Come to think of it. A party that has perfected the art of diverting taxpayers money to individuals at the expense of health and education qualities, among other services, is, in my view, the cruel party.

  22. on top of what has been said mcp is a party that encourages kusankhana mitundu…u will agree with me kuti mcp imatenga chigawo chapakati ngati base yake komanso sifuna kuti chipanichi chilamulilidwe ndi munthu wa chgawo china…gwanda mwana zuwere mphezi mwana olimba mtima chakwamba adakanidwa ndi a tembo ndi anthu ambiri achigawo chapakati omwe ankaona kuti munthu wa southern region sangakhale president wa mcp…hence my conclusion kuti chipani cha mcp chitha very soon after loosing this coming elections coz ochakwera akhala ataluza kachiwiri ndipo mcp sidzawapatsanso mpata kuti adzaluzenso kachitatu….mia adzakhala akufunitsitsa mpando wa upresident as he is the vice and power hungry ndipo anthu ambiri a chigawo chapakati sadzalola kulamulidwa ndi mwenye wachigawo chakumwera…mbava za cashgate za PP zidzaonetsa mawanga awo POYAMBA chipasupasu….ochakwera akudziwa kuti sangawine zisankho ngati president nchifukwa chake aimanso kwao ku nsalu ngati phungu wakunyumba ya malamulo….nevertheless DPP idalonjeza zambiri in 2014 kuyambira ku lowershire mpaka Malawi yonse koma sadakwanilitse .eg doko kulibe ku nsanje, tala sadafikebe kumalaka, technical college plus TTC ku lowershire sizinathe, mombera university ku mzimba kulibe, ku karonga ndi ku mangochi kulibe ma university , mabwalo andege kumangochi ndi ku nsanje kulibe ndi zambiri….a DPP tinawalemba ntchito koma akanika….kuipa kwa zipani ziwirizi ndikomwe kwapangitsa anyamata tonse kukonda dziko lathu kuposa zipani pogwirizana kudzavotera CHILIMA ndi UTM party…chipani cha UTM sichidalila chigawo chimadalila Malawi yonse…ochakwera for several times has been praising chilima’s wisdom..UTM motoooooooo

    1. A Mulumuzana uku ndiye tomatillos kudzikwata ndi chala. Why do you think the DPP is only talking about MCP here? Answer. There only main competitor is MCP. Not the Facebook party. Ana kumangolubwaluvwa basi. The MCP is the real winner take it or leave it. Am Lomwe but eish no more Muntharika this time around. Chilima no intergrity man . Salary without working. All people with intergrity around the world resign man. You can’t say we will not work together in the party but we will work together in government aaaaahhh

      1. In this digital era, someone still thinks facebook is not an effective means of communicating an agenda. With this mentality, I am not surprised most Malawians are backward. Social media is the platform that creative parties and businesses are using to their advantage. It looks so far that only UTM is moving with the times. Its campaign rallies are being complemented by social media. The sooner that most parties realise that the Malawi of today is not the same as of five years, the better. If your target is the youth who by the way are the majority in this country, you better use social media. Ignore this advice at your own peril. My granny in the village will ask me of an issue after getting it first on social media for confirmation. Social media is such a powerful tool for communication. Just consider how Obama or Trump used social media to their advantage. If MCP really wants to rule this country, it should join the bandwagon of social media users. Don’t stick to the old way of doing things. This is what has failed MCP in the past. While MCP concentrated in the Central Region the last elections, social media sees no boundaries. Chakwera lost to APM by only 400k votes or so. Who knows using social media Chakwera could have amassed the 400k votes or more and could by now be the president of this country not the crap this country has.

    2. find better things to do. DPP leaders have come from what region and who are they? Mutharikas and you accuse MCP that it encourages kusankhana mitundu

      1. AMULUMUZANA nanunso tulo….Simungawone mpakana Mbuzi ya Mfumu ikuima mansanja kumanyoza zipani zina….ndale zake za mtundu wanji izi….osawauza anthu bwanji zomwe mudzapange mukalowaso m’boma kuti anthu akopeke akuvotereni???

    3. Even DPP wont allow someone from other regions to lead the party. look at what happened to Chilima when the issues of presidential candidate arose in the party, dpp gurus mostly from the lomwe belt could not allow Chilima to take over. So lets not take dpp as a hollier party than other parties in as far as regionalism is concerned

    4. A Mulumuzananso nzeru ndiye mulibe, ndimdani wachigawo china yemwe adatsogolerapo dpp- Bingu?, Peter?

  26. But the people who actually did the killing are welcome to DPP and given top jobs. You not very serious Mr. Nankhumwa. He is running out of ideas because he is one of the few people who are campaigning in DPP.

      1. mchacha khalani pheee kunali anzanu amalankhula mokhadzula pano ali kuti ndale zonyazana ndi umbuli lankhulani zotukula Malawi , iwenso Mfumu Lundu usamalowelere za ndale
