Entire village sold in Mchinji, 200 families facing eviction

Shocking details are emerging in Traditional Authority Dambe in Mchinji where a village known as Kachoka was allegedly sold in June 2019.

Trouble Kalua: Quits as SRFL vice chairman

Currently, over 200 families are facing eviction as the new owner wants to develop the area.

Group village headman Kachoka told Nyasa Times that a son to late chief Kasoka who died in 1996 sold the land claiming it belonged to his father.

The chief added that a primary school and a graveyard were sold together with the land.

Deputy director of Legal Aid Bureau Trouble Kalua also confirmed that the locals lodged a complaint with the office and a stay order has been obtained following an enforcement order that was obtained by the buyer Frank Chisakalimi in June this year to have the villagers vacate the area.

The villagers have also lodged a complaint with Human Rights Defenders Coalition (HRDC) on the matter.

  1. HRDC please take immediate action coz Malawian are suffering on there home land the intruders there enjoying upon the owners , don’t stay quiet ,act accordingly

  2. Where is the uproar Mr gift and his entire hrdc?! So you like to pick and choose as to which cases you want to comment on and hold press conferences?! An entire village is being evicted including a graveyard and school and you stay quiet even after they have approached you! Yet if the buyer was otherwise not Malawian(mwenye) then I am sure you would have immediately asked for a press briefing and also let’s be honest the comments here would be entirely different but that is the honest truth.

  3. This guy so called Frank Chisakalimi , I think that he doesn’t think properly cos on earth how can someone, an individual tells you that is selling the whole village claiming that it is his land???? And you pay money with an intention to remove all the people. That can never work

  4. Majaza should be at the helm of all this shit. Frank has money but no education while Majaza was influenced by the regime then. No wonder the daughter became a minister

  5. So This fool ( the buyer) did t realize that there is a whole village on this land? Is he planning to compensate the villagers for displacement, emotional trauma and illegal sell of the land which is probably ALL THEY HAVE!

  6. Land sold in 1996, the developer is coming now after 24 years? Otherwise, if I was leading the administration I wouldn’t entertain that.

    1. Chief who died in 1996 (simple), his son sold the land in 2019 kapena tinene kuti mfumu imene inamwalira 1996, mwana wawo anagulitsa malo 2019 kumanena kuti ndi malo ake. Is it clear now? Spoon feeding…

      1. Oho mwina mwanayu ufumu udamuphonya powawidwa mtima adaganiza zogulitsa mudzi onse kapena titero? Adaganiza bwanji anthu amenewa? I mean both the seller and the buyer.

    1. Mmmmh. Just like when the Lhomwe chiefs in Thyolo and Mulanje sold land left and right for a song to white settlers and welcomed a usurper from Mozambique as a paramount chief. The thieving by DPP was not confined to taxpayers money, unfortunately.

    2. Mmmmmm ogonatu akuzimenyera nkhondo apa. Ndipo kuiona bwino nkhondoyi ndi yowinawina. Chifukwa mafuso akhalapo. Lease inatheka bwanji pamalo otelewa? Nanga bambo awogulitsayu amapanga
      Lease? Apa zikuonetsa kuti achewawa n’ngozindikira koopsya

  7. This is perhaps one of the worst cases of corruption during the DPP regime. If the regime was given five more years to rule, I doubt if there would have been anything left in Malawi worth writing home about by 2025. If you think I am kidding you, how do you explain Muli being given half of the LL city centre?

  8. Somebody tell me who was in power June 2019? Even the buyer just took advantage of the situation, he deserves to lose his money. People with money but no morals…

    1. Which buyer do you want to be told about? You want a different name from that of Frank Chisakalimi who has been mentioned? If you are not satisfied that this is the buyer then you tell us who it is.
