Dzuka Malawi: Post elections sitting on court benches, the DPP infighting
Happy new year folks. We all made it. Of course, politicians made it too. If we were to jail them for lying, most of them would be facing indefinite jail sentence. Look how they lied soon after making it to Parliament.
Of course, our leader of opposition parties their priorities have been to sit on a bench outside the High Court sitting as constitutional court in Lilongwe. Courts are generally for lawyers not political posturing or demonstrating to young ones, that they have nothing to do but loaf around court premises like job seekers do.
Serious politicians like John Zenus Ungapake Tembo, Chakufwa Tom Chihana and Gwanda Chakuamba would never spend half a year on court benches for political expediency, they allowed their lawyers to run the cases. Unfortunately, many hangers on will believe that’s the best time two Vice Presidents (we pay) an MP abandoning his constituencies can spend.
At least the UTM had straight agenda- MEGA farms. If I were Saulosi Klaus Chilima I would have launched at least one private mega farm and get the UTM engaged as a model of what I could do if I got elected.
I am not sure what MCP promised, but hey they can think of something to keep the party social media noisy gang busy. Imagine Gogo Gowoka, Vic Mlenga, Francisco Kabango, Chancy Mtambo and Master Chilunjika being busy like Dalitso running own empires. That’s what I want to see in 2020.
Then we finish the year of destructive demonstrations, bwana Gift Trapence of HRDC has something for 2020. More people to rise up. Really, that’s the progressive agenda from the Civil Society which can’t protest the evil electricity generators deal that fleeces Malawians MWK3bn a month in fuel? Really, Trapence and company think demonstrations should focus on politics when we have huge social services gaps that require to push the civil service-not-politicians to deliver?
According to our politicians and civil society, instead of dreaming innovations, new projects to support youth employment and creativity, instead of mega farms, instead of poverty ending initiatives, we should do what we have done for the past two years politic more.
Look here, Malawians hold the destiny of their country. Those elected and unelected voices have done enough creating work for themselves and trying to be relevant to national causes they don’t really care about. In 2020 we want to change Malawi to a better place.
So, if anyone dreams of becoming my leader where through a re-election or 2024, they should borrow a leaf from Kondwani Nankhumwa of the DPP. He speaks the right things, projects progress and rejects trivia.
Of course, whether Kondwani will become a president one day, is another day’s debate. The point is he has right optics. Right speeches and right projection of what a leader would do to secure a good future. He does not speak about being a billionaire like Mr Ben Phiri does, nor does he project himself as super diplomat like Bright Msaka does. He is simply a politician on a mission.
Bright Msaka is a smart person but not cut for battle politics. He can claim he brought the Eastern region to the DPP, the same claim Right Honourable Herbert Chimulilenji can claim. Joseph Mwananvenkha is a smart technocrat, he will need lots of good strategists to sale his Presidential ambition. So you see, the DPP field is not yet cut for next President.
The problem is everyone would be painting the other black, that by 2022, all potential candidates will be black, unless they are smart like one politician we all are guessing will join the race but we not sure.
Malawi does need less politics. On the electoral front, whatever the ruling, lets push for electoral reforms. The opposition sitting on benches of courts should stop, leadership does not stop at court. Civil society should look at critical issues than politics alone. The DPP infighting should stop, its too early to become a President. Let Peter Mutharika finish his legacy projects, the Area 18 roundabout, Mombera University and the Mangochi Tourism City project. Such legacy will create jobs, improve our lives than talking politics from January 1, 2020.

Mombera University yamukanika. There is nothing that he is doing. Why should he be given more time? And what is preventing him from finishing the project?
APM has no vision to run Malawi. The man is totally blank. Nchinthu waka nthene
my country malawi kkkkkkkkk mukufuna Nankhumwa the same DPP timaona ngati munena zachina mbakuwaku movement
DPP cadet.
Useless creature this one must go back to Zimbabwe & write about Mnangagwa. Rudo is a Shona name no wonder whether this Rudo is a lady or a gentleman doesn’t know what is happening in Malawi. Cadet wa Nankhumwa.
You are a cockroach thinker, you think like your leaders, write up of no substance and shows your gross deficiency in politics, social, civic and moral knowledge. Go back to your books
Choka iwe. Munthu kukhala pansi kumalemba zochucha chonchi?
Great and well balanced article. Readers should open their eyes to see sense in the article. Good job
u president satengera pa BENCH kkkkkk
I have read this article twice I still don’t understand what the writer is trying to put across…….
Same here 🙄
Because you are dull
The most important attribute of a good writer/ journalist is effective communication, not quite sure what the intent of this piece was!
When we talk about change we include pathetic journalists/story tellers as well.
Trash article. Doesn’t he known that Chakwera and Chilima were part of the witnesses
so all the witnesses were sitting on this bench for the whole six months? a witness would go to court the only day he was required to testify.This article is 100% true analysis.A chakwera ku parliament samapitako koma salary ndma allowance a MP akulandila.Whats that?
Compromised scribe. May you live long to see justice
Kkkkk. He will see justice very soon
What is justice?
The writer is somehow ignorant about politics, he better go back and read something about Civics which was taught at primary school old syllabus. Opposition politicians attending the important presidential case cannot be described as sign of roffing. These are the very people who moved the court so they are key to the court process and it is a must that they attend the court in person.To say that Gwanda , Tembo and whoever were more serious politicians than Dr Chakwera and SKC is another dispay of the writer’s limited knowledge about Malawian politics. Any serious Malawian can never forget so quickly how late Gwanda Chakuamba and JZU Tembo frustrated each other in 1999 and later in 2004 through getting political kick backs from Tcheya of the ruling UDF then.How did you expect the Presidential Elections Cases to go as far as the judgement with those kickbacks? So who is serious between JZU/Gwanda vs Chakwera/SKC?
Nakhumwa is fit as a DPP Governor for the South or Vice President nothing else, he is another mere propagandist, has a shallow CV , presidency is demanding position not mere propaganda.
umangoziwilatu kut article iyiyi yakubaya pa Thako kkk
myopic instructor please take off your tinted muddy goggles and then probably your trashes
I am very disappointed to see someone referring to Chakufwa, Gwanda and JZU regarding elections court case. If Malawi has reached the stage of MEC electing presidents not Malawians is because those you people you have mentioned were being oiled by the past governments particularly Muluzi who used to give them posts in govt. This is a different Malawi to stop MEC from this rubbish ever. So stop blaming presidents to attend to court proceedings.
I really dont understand what you want to communicate.wasted energy
wakubayani kkkk
Thank you for a nice article but you did not touch the main problem Malawians are facing.Its not peter who is bringing problems indeed to Malawians but the machinery of his party that is clipaling our beloved nation.If only he could stop thinking about the future of his party and think only for the greatness of our National goals then we will not need opposition or any elections.Peter is mislead and he himself has accepted the fact that he does not want to change for common good of our nation remember he said he can not let down the people they suffered with him together.He does not see that these people are the ones bringing him down.Let all of them fall into a pit then,or peter should decide to let them fall.
Good adice but too late for them to use
Khadethi wa diphiphi we don’t need this old gogo.
Useless article written by a tippexed person.
I still have unsold boxes of tippex. What is your advice, Sir?
No sense article, siting on the benches is not a problem, what new things have you seen in those parliamentarians who were not attending court cases? Mind your own business and let them do what they think can help them to yield something.Akutuma???
Nothing tangible from the this story
Sickening article, good title but rubbish inside. In disguise to campaign for Nankhumwa wakuba MSCE yomwe now trying to be president of Malawi, kkkkkkkkkkkkk God forbid!!!
yakubaya article yi
Waste of time, find better things to cadet
It’s obvious the author of this article is a cadet……I read the first paragraph BooM….I could tell. Let’s make one thing straight, SKC & LC were mandated to testify in court, how the hell did u expect them to testify by not being at the court physically? Kuganiza kopelewera ngati kumeneku ndichifukwa chake mumangosapotela zilizonse even wen u see malawi going down the hill………basis ikhale ndalama basi 😡
so they were testifying daily? kkk koma guys vomelezan munthu walemba zoona uyu.Munthu anasankhidwa MP kwao koma ku parliament osapita yet ndlama akulandila .Daily kuswera pa bench ku court kkk koma u president awufuna malume wa eish
Inunso ndino a chitsiru with your silly write up. We know you are a dpp paid up scribe but please save some of us from your stupid comments. If you are a Nankhumwa agent just chew his money. Which Mombera university are you talking about you idiot of a writer?
So you are either MCP or UTM
The title of this article is wrong. It lacks information on the parties involved. I think the author just wanted to write about his hopes for DPP presidency.
Walembayo is very dull
