Dzuka Malawi: Chakwera, the Godfather of Nsundwe …let DPP appeal and lose
In politics, optics and perceptions are very important. I said it last week, after the Constitutional Court ruling, the Malawi Congress Party will disintegrate and Saulosi Chilima’s UTM could be facing extinct. Insults from apologetic followers reigned. Five days later, here is reality.

Reverend Dr. Lazarus Chakwera has made a cardinal mistake. His first rally after the ruling, the victory ruling was at Nsundwe. Yes, sane people would shake their heads. The same Nsundwe with notorious thugs and uncontrollable youth.
As Malawi burned, as Malawians feared for their lives and as motorists, innocent motorists, vendors and shop owners and residents of Area 18 were being molested by Nsundwe thugs, Dr. Chakwera and the HDRC looked the other side.
On Saturday, 08 February 2020. Dr Chakwera owned his “boys” and openly said he was proud of them. He was proud they smashed Counsel Khumbo Sokos vehicle despite his contribution to the success of the case. Dr. Chakwera was proud of Nsundwe thugs that killed a Police officer on duty, he never condemned that even on Saturday.
Unfortunately, Reverend Chakwera is not alone as sponsors of these murderous thieving lots whom the MCP sees as heros of revolution. Is it wrong to say the MCP loves and still is a party of “death and darkness” as Chakufwa Chihana once branded it. MCP has a bad history of atrocities, Reverend Chakwera has owned them all, he has openly gone against sane Malawians and said Nsundwe to him is a god-given sacred place.
Sheikh Alhaji Sidiki Mia promised a “special reward” for Nsundwe thuggery. I was shocked beyond measure. For what? For causing mayhem, for killing a Police officer? Or for Stealing and smashing innocent Malawians properties? I hope the two MCP leaders are proud of Nsundwe that they can defend it throughout the second campaign.
Badada Khumbo Kachali also joined in the chorus for Nsundwe, saying it has a special place. No Khumbo, the name Nsundwe instils fear even in innocent voters. Nobody sane will go an invest at Nsundwe.
God has mysterious ways of revealing agents of evil. MCP label as party of “death and darkness” surely is not far from over, otherwise someone sober should have advised the party gurus, Nsundwe is a very bad political apple to be associated with. Such gives a chance to MCP opponents to hit the party and associate it with violence that happened during demonstrations.
I wont even comment on the irresponsible and contempt of court remarks by SG Mkaka. MCP can never be agents of peace, if in their eyes, after we all were harassed and terrorised by thugs from Nsundwe are perceived as their heros. The MCP end started that Saturday, unfortunately the glorification of thugs breeds anarchy. The good this is MCP will have tough time to convince voters affected by Nsundwe violence to vote for it.
I see very few votes in the South, East and Northern region. The careless rally at a violent venue, means Reverend Chakwera is the godfather of Nsundwe thugs. He is proud of them, he owns them, he sent them, he sponsored them and in victory they celebrated together. Voters are not stupid.
Contrast Chakweras overzealous Nsundwe PR blunder to Chilima. After the ruling, he sounds like a statesman and a leader. He looks mature and toned down. SKC could lead any party to victory. I am not just sure he will be given the platform.
The UTM faces the challenge of perception again. Every sponsor now knows it does not have the political muscle it proclaimed before May 21. After being tested at the ballot, UTM is the weakest link. And even sponsors now know a Vice Presidency in Malawi is a ceremonial role with no real power or influence.
UTM was a good brand, political reality is that it can only be a king maker not the king. Chilima his post ruling conduct makes him elevated in the eyes of many. He might wish to negotiate to join a party and run either as a candidate or five year vice president and take over afterwards. These are realistic options.
I don’t see anyone giving finances to MCP which is likely to lose in the South and some North for its position of embracing Nsundwe thugs. Nsundwe is a curse no sane politician should own or associate but condemn. For Saulosi, he can play kingmaker by negotiating an alliance quickly that gives him a seat and visibility, financially our mainly Indian sponsors don’t spend money on likely losers.
I will write on the DPP more later. Today it is good that they appealed. They will lose again at Supreme Court. This will damage perceptions of other in other regions. But it will bring the case to its finality.
Dzukani a Malawi, we are at a place where denial of facts don’t help ourselves. MCP sponsored Nsundwe violence. Chilima is now a mature statesman we can trust. DPP will loose the appeal. These are facts we can keep!

ndye mwati MSUNDWE GODFATHER ???
Chakwera hahahaha zomvetsa chisoni kwambiri zonyadira izi? Mukumana nazo mtsogolo muno simunati
Ngati ndi kufuna ndalama Rudo nde wazifuna zenizeni ndipo waonjeza……….!! Rudo, at your age, (and I say at you age because a minor can not do this) have you ever watched and or can you comfortably sit back and watch strangers rapping either your sisters, or mum or aunts in day broad light? Rudo, if people from the south tolerate such level of misbehaviour, then excuse us, we can’t and shall never do that nonsense but retaliate straight away!!
Ngati ndikufuna utsogoleri wa dziko, then go ahead, but don’t dare to take us for a ride…! Ndipo muuzane, kuti the Chewas sitiopa, ndipo sitingaope mfuti, ataaaaaa!!
If its morally right in the south to watch evil doers committing sin, then never ever dare to do that anywhere in the central region!! Sincerely time and again this is the key reason why some of us the chewas are squarely bent that we should allow feudal system to come in and let the regions rule themselves!! Abale kuteteza m’bale wako akuchitidwa nkhaza and or chipongwe dzuwa lukutswa mtengo ikhale nkhani yakuti ena ngati Rudo afikile kunena kuti we are “thugs”! Are you serious we are “thugs” for doing that! May God forgive you Rudo!!
Your words can tell that iweyo umayesa kuti anthu a kwa Msundwe amanguonjeza moto chabe akamanena kuti anachitidwa zooopsaaaaaa (adagwiliridwa)! I watched it and many of the victims are my relations…………………….. ndipo mosabisa mkwiyo, I need no evidence that the culprits are your compatriots!! Rudo anthu inu ndinu odzikonda too much…………………!! Kodi mukufuna kuti anthuwo akuuzeni mwa ntundu wanji kuti mumve kuti anachitidwa nkhanza komanso chipongwe…………………!! Moti iwe ukuona ngati kupepesa kwa TA Kalolo and TA Mbwatalika on 8/2/2020 was meant for a good joke? Shame on you Rudo and your dirty dpp…………………… ndipo ngati ndi zimenezo nde kuno kwathu musadzabwelenso………………………!! After all sitimusowa kalongonda ndi makaka zanuzooooooooooooo!! Mind you, if you thought you and your party can threaten us, nde walemba m’madziiiiiiiii………………. mungoyesa kubwelanso muoneeeeeee!! Fotseki!! Kuipa mtimako kwa mtund wanji, ntchito anthu mwawamana, ma contracts mwawamana, spaces in secondary schools mwawamana etc etc nde muwamenyenso, kuwapatsa nthenda komanso mimba zotenga mokakamiza komanso mosakonzekelaaaaaaa!! Ana a njoka inuuuuuuuuuuuu I repeat, just dare to come again, mudzaona chomwe chinameta mpala nkhangaaaaaaaa!
What a bunch of hog wash. The writer truly magnifies the speech and appearance by Dr Chakwera as malfeasance. Nundwe is part of our country irrespective of what took place there few months ago. What this writer does not tell his audience is that people of Nundwe have suffered at the hands of our law enforcement. It was therefore befitting for Dr. Chakwera to have his first rally at Nundwe. In every part of this country there are thugs including those at Nsanjika and Lilongwe state house and police stations across this country. It is very disappointing Nyasa Times would stoop this low to expose its partisanship. Malawains know better. Malawians know who the thugs are and whose supporters are. In this case it is Nyasa Times who continues to lick-ass despite the writing on the wall.
i think the owners of this paper didn’t go to school of journalism coz there are no work ethics here only full of biasness i think they lack professionalism end of story or may it’s a cadet owned newsline
why didn’t u mention raping of innocent girls and women by the same police thugs who were supposed to protect them, I am not an MCP or Dr Chakwera’s sympathyzer but i find it hard for u seemed to bea learned person deliberately diverging facts to gain political sympathy from DPP may be, when the same Police killed a person in karonga you kept quiet when cadets beat up Mayaya in full view of the same useless police what did u say? when the HRDC hired vehicle was torched to ashes in Blantyre by cadets what did u say? when the same police officers killed 11 innocent people in the north in 2011 what did you say? when the cadets killed a police officer at Goliati what did u say then what was the difference between a police officer killed at Nsundwe & he one kiled at Goliati? what did you say when MEC changed figures deliberately to the advantage of Peter Mnthalika ? what have you done when Mphepo openly said that the defucant APM govt will not develop the north as he has already done in the past 6yrs? what did u say when peter mthalika citizens money worth 154million? what did you say when a primary school girl in with flying colour grades not selected to any secondary school in malawi? what did you say when Mc Donald Masambuka was brutally murered by the same DPP cadets. to me I feel DPP is a more darker than you want us to believe in the past 15 years of its reign we have witnessed nepotism, regionalism,tribalism or Lhomweism, albino killings by the cadets, raping of nsundwe women and girls of which even a single day we have never heard any word from APM himself or any member this barbaric party to condemn such acts of barbarism sham on you the author of this page i think sunabadwe kwa makolo koma mwina makolo ako ndimikango or fisi
Msundwe Special Forces (MSF) muchidule
This message speaks volumes but dont forget that peoples of Msundwe have been sexually abused by police and some infected with sexually Transmitted Diseases and you dont feel they also require sympathy…shame on you
BUYIng abag of Maize at 23k in BT,18K in LILONGWE -SORRY TO HAVE SUCH TYPE OF LEADERS
DPP will again win he fresh election ,Chakwera wa nkhope ngati gule adzakasumanso ku mcp court ya ivy kamanga ,healy potani ndi enawo kkkkkkkkk DPP is waiting for that day
Ballot to speak…not media platforms
As much as we regret the death of a police officer in Msundwe, Police committed atrocities in Msundwe. When a police officer was killed in Goliyati, Thyolo, nothing happened. Bui in Msundwe, war crimes were committed.When you listen to stories, its like those of Boko Haram.
Chakwera aphwisa posachedwa. He will go to court again. Nsundwe does not make the whole Malawi. Mcp is bloody thirst ask Odinga Oginga of Kenya. He was like that but he went to USA last week with Uhuru Kenyatta when Arab Moi was on sick bed
You can’t promise Nsundwe warriors that they will buy a tractor.to each one of Nsundwe. That’s cheap and premitive politics. Uphwisa dothi la katondo Chaka chino.by July
Iweyo ndiwe wabodza, uzinena zowona, anyway awa ndi maganizo ako chabe
Chitsilu chakwela sazidziwandale
Nafenso tiyambitsa Nsundwe yathu ku Blantyre. Tibwezere zomwe abale athu akhala akuchitiridwa ku Lilongwe ndi Karonga. An eye for an eye.
Pangani tikuwoneri …Ku Blantyre anthu Sakuona Umve wanu ….Akumapeza mankhwala mzipatala ,ndalama ziyikuvuta….Mokatoba mukumawagayira ….Akatodwala mukumawatumiza kunja kapena ku Private Hospital ngati Cadet Uja…..Mumatoona ngati Anthu Onse ndi Opepera Saganiza?
I think ku Blantyre iliko kale. Ndikumene chitsanzo chinachokera. Do you know Jomo Osman – Ntopwa one? If yes find out what he has been doing.
yambisa
Thugs ….Lead by John Chilembwe caused mayhem mpaka kumudula mutu Liston ….They were hunted and killed ….Today we Celebrate them ….Thugs were Gunned Down in Mzuzu…Thugs were Gunned Down in Nkhatabay ….All these were Thugs in the Eyes of Government .Chakwera Condemned violence at the Same Rally ….and he has always Said that the Law should take course on Perpetrators of Violence….I stand with the Good People of Nsundwe and hope we will fight for 50 + 1 together….
You can say that again and again
A silent citizen doesn’t have any media platform,he uses the hallo to speak.watch him after you have talked through the media…always he is right and truthful..respect his choice and speech.
Every revolution has an epicentre. For the Liberation of Malawi, Nsundwe is the epicentre. Malawi needed to be liberated. How many people have died in Malawian Hospitals because of corruption that is rampant in Dpp? Malawian hospitals have become death traps and you have the courage to criticise a people who wanted to set themselves free? What we are experiencing my fellow Malawians are last kicks of a dying horse. I have said it and will say it again, it never ever will be business as usual again in Malawi. Malawians now know how to fight for themselves and there is no going back. Let the writer tell us how he expected Malawians to liberate themselves from a mafia group known as DPP.
Rabish
One point writer if you don’t know all great leaders in Africa were rebels at one time.Mugabe and Mandela Yoweli Museven just a few.Therefore,Msundwe name will remain in history for fighting the truth and not today but tomorrow they will be heroes like John Chilembwe who cut the head of Lingston was it not murder murder ofcourse for a purpose so is our hero today so these guys one day.
Propaganda analysis.Guys just google this heading and read for yourself what propaganda writers use tools the writer is one of them stereotyping generalization biases subjective article.You are portraying mcp party of death compared to which party.is dpp clean without blood what about albinos, and others.MCP and DPP you say DPP has no blood.What happened to Mayaya.Its time now we engage peacejournalism in Malawi.Write balanced articles in depth use swot analysis of all parties not targeting MCP or DPP.These two parties have both weaknesses and strengths over each other.Writers please engage such writings to enlighten Malawians to have informed decisions on matters.Not this shallow minded article.Thanks next time do that so that you write for the people not yourself.
Paja ndinu a UTM nde mungalembe zotani. Its u in UTM amene denail of facts will not help. One of the facts is whether its 50+1 or not UTM can not win mwina bolanso DPP ili ndi mwai kuposa UTM. Kupanda kubela, MCP would hav been declared winners pa May 21 2019 elections…..
Excellent article…you simply nailed it!
Stupid DPP cadet. Wangonyoza apa
The author should be one of thieves. Does he know the distance from Nsundwe to A/18? How can walk/-cycle over 30km kuzaba ku A/18? Thieves usually like deflecting, cause confusion so that people should not see the reality.
You are not living in Malawi. Let me give you a hint: they are fetched in lorries during demonstrations to town with one objective; to break shops and homes and getting away with what they touch.
Rudo, naturally you’re a good writer but your problem as of late is that you’ve been supporting dpp in your articles and tried to force your choice down everybody’s throats. And now it looks as though you want everybody to support Chilima just because you can smell the end of dpp, so readers are now taking your writtings with a pinch of salt.
I don’t understand the miss calculation by MCP. A political blunder that level headed politicians have avoided. The whole MCP leadership is praising Msundwe including Chakwera and Joyce Banda ( the lost soul) praises Msundwe barracks…… really people??? …..can we all settle down pease!
We won’t settle down unti Mutharika and DPP are out. The fight is not over!
Tamusiyeni Malopa azibwebweta. Aona zakuda mu July.
This write eat or live MCP nothing from the story except glorifying your master
This post is biased, You are not a god political commentator my friend
Chakwera is the worst MCP leader ever who has made some of us stop supporting the party. Grooming, nurturing and promoting violent boys is catastrophic to Malawi. Look at the damage that they caused last year. What will these boys do when the Supreme Court overturns the ConCourt judgement. Nsundwe is a snake Chakwera is grooming just like MYP whose ending will be disastrous.
There’s nothing wrong with MCP to have another MYP when dpp has cadets. You’re scared! You know cadets won’t stand a hair against MYP. Munaziyamba nokha musaope! Nobody listens to DPP propaganda anymore! The whole world knows dpp and MEC stole the vote by using tippex. Putting Malawi on world map for wrong reasons. Shame on you! Usalire! Waba wekha!
Do not always think bribery work. You will be shocked! You never know what the supreme court will decide.
Anzanu a MEC apanga submit mbwelera uku. Judgement ikunena kuti “only 1,138 Form 66Cs were subjected to verification by auditors, leaving a whopping 3, 864 66Cs unverified”. A MEC mu appeal yawo akunena exactly the opposite. “Judges erred by finding that 1,138 results sheets were not audited”. Kaya anawerenga judgement ‘yo kaya, kkkk
The propaganda will not work this time around. This is cheap and shame on you. Did you get what was shared at Nsundwe. The message was full of hope and did not condone the bad that happened. Do you know the healing process
Just shut up and talk about your DPP problems other than wasting time here
Is APM best leader?
On tuesday 4th February i woke up at 0400hrs to a very still Devil Street Lilongwe market. There were no women at Mimosa Hotel in Mugasa House. No fish vendors at the open market. I enjoyed the serenity of the place. But i remembered: the Mugasa women will not have my cash today! The fish vendors will not sell today! ……and then appeared the police patrol vehicle 911. I am out of police cell Area 3 police today. How sweet to be free and home….
Viva Nsundwe! The epicenter of 2019 revolution. We love you Nsundwe brothers. Change is coming to Malawi 🇲🇼
The good thing is that majority of voters are not influenced by this kind of biased posts. Another good thing is that any fairly educated reader can easily see what you are actually up to.
The writer is not objective he thinks we do not have the brain. Hey Mr Author, is your mother a woman? kkkkk Does the sun rise in the east at your home? Is your brain in the SKULL wake up Mr Writer Open Your Eyes . We are not in 1994 kkkk Change will Change many kkkkk.
It is written that those who kill by the sword will die by the sword. In Nsundwe is born an generation that will haunt the country for a long time. Though nothing was said supporting the Nsundwe acts but the association itself leaves everything about Chakwera and the MCP to be desired. Take it or leave it. A lot of people have bad memories about Nsundwe
