Gloves are off: DPP cadets revolt against presidential aide Chisale
The gloves are off in the governing Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) as militant party cadets led by Blantyre-based notorious Mike Chitenje, popularly known as Bangwe 1, have openly declared to dump supporting President Peter Mutharika if his security aide, Norman Chisale, remains at State House.
According to video clips circulating on social media of Chitenje, Stone Mwamadi both from Blantyre while in Mangochi Edward Madakawo and Kefasi Banda with his fellow DPP cadets are seen demanding Chisale’s immediate removal as Mutharika’s presidential security director.
“If the boss ( President Mutharika) loves Chisale, he should always leave him in Lilongwe whenever he is visiting Blantyre. Nobody, among us, wants to see Chisale anywhere near the royal family. In fact, we are not alone in this war, our counterparts in Mangochi, Liwonde and Zomba are also part of us,” Chitenje is heard saying in the video.
The members describe Chisale as a greedy person who does not pick their calls or answer any of their correspondence, simply because he wants to enjoy the royal fortunes alone, yet his fellow party loyalists are out there languishing in poverty.
Chisale, who at times has been seen addressing DPP political rallies, has been seen in public activities like buying meals and different items for street kids in Blantyre and financially supporting the construction of a church in his home district of Ntcheu and donating a bus to CCAP Nkhoma Synod.
In a video clip from Mangochi cadets are threatening Chisale not to step his feet in the district and have since advised him to relocate his Zimatha Executive Lodge to his home village in Ntcheu.
“We want to tell you Chisale that we are struggling because of you and if the president loves you so much we will leave the party for you, and you have to remove your Zimatha Lodge and plant in in Ntcheu district,”said Edward Madakawo in the clip.
Chisale quoted by one of the blogs is urging all those that have issues with him to follow the proper channels to address their grievances.
“ I am not a politician so don’t drag me into your politics, I am a security guy and the President security is my priority. I am warning those thugs that are threatening to deal with me to be careful of what they are saying- as long as the president security is threatened then I will have no choice bit to deal with them,“ Chisale said.
Meanwhile, DPP spokesperson Nicholous Dausi has advised party members to channel their problems to the secretary general and not wash dirty linen in public
This is unbelievable to read…Chisale is a presidential boardguard and threatening him is bugging the president. Ths is act of episonage; whatever name they give themselves these cadets are going off-limits. Laizzes faire type of leadership is leadership, and dictatorship is leadership too. Mwana opulupuza anyapulidwe else azaimisana ndi adadi ake pagulu…
Confusion in the camp.
We don’t need a prophet to prophesy. The end is nigh.
“Royal Family”. This is the true Malawi. Not knowing that they are the bosses to the President. Unless we are over this, Malawi will remain a Banana Republic of “Yes Bwana”without those in leadership being Accountable to the people who elect them, since they are “The Royal Family”. Shame on us in this time and the year that we can still have such type of people with that thinking among us.
Royal Family? Sharing of Royal fortunes? That is the problem with the DPP government, they have no idea what democracy is, they act as if they are in a Nigerian movie and APM is the useless out of touch tribal chief whose favourite position remains on his knees, arse up, and head buried deeply in the sand.
where do those royal fortunes you share come from? Tax payers money????????
So Mr Bangwe 1(Mike Chitenje)you killed Robert Chasowa,Issah Njaunji etc now you want to kill Norman Chisale?Let the game begin.
Chisale has paid other cadets to counter …ziliko ku mpanda
The cadets are calling the President and his wife the Royal family. Can these cadets be any dumber??
Chickens coming home to roost. Correction, Abakha coming home to roost. While DPP was busy unleashing its notorious cadets on civil society leaders and opposition parties’ members, little did the party know that when they are done with their nemeses, it will be the party’s turn. DPP reared thugs and thuggery it shall receive. I am enjoying watching cadets tearing their party to pieces.
Thank you Lord for making me a witness of the fall of the seemingly mighty.
so ife tikumagwila nchito ndalama yake Chisale kumalipila anthu kumakapha anthu osacimwa kufuna kubisa umboni wa coona. i think cisale sadzafa ndithu. he is takin us for granted and again amalankhula pa dpp misonlhano. tili limodzi
this guy akuoneka ndi mu std 1 sanapondemo. old fool. osamangophuzitsa adzukulu ufiti bwanji!!
