A group of concerned citizens have asked prosecuting authorities in Malawi to re-commence prosecution of the ‘attempted murder’ case of...
Malawi leaders should be equipped to deal with problems facing the country within it’s context. The president is doing the right thing to resurrect the discussion on death penalty in Malawi. The mentioned 2007 moratorium on death penalty cannot be applicable today because the situation in the country has changed: people with albinism are being terrorised and killed, armed robbers and thieves are terrorising people who work hard. This situation needs to be managed in Malawi by Malawians and their leaders. Every country in the world has got people with albinism, but many rich countries, especially in Europe and USA… Read more »

Ngati nzosatheka kumapha anthu amene akupha ma albino chifukwa cha ma donors ndi a Amnesty Int. ine I have suggestions (1) just quietly surrender them to mob, these guys can instantly lender justice and there can be not cost (ndi za ma court zanuzo) (2) apo ayi, azingowadyetsa nsima ya cement ku prison komweko mwakachetechete basi.

Chinanso: asing’anga wandi amene akulimbikitsa, zitsiru mapwala anu asing’anga nonse. Ngati mumadziwa kulofza mulodze ine Heavy-duty. Panya… Read more »
I agree, we could use mob justice to circumvent the complexity of death sentence – from lengthy trials which will waste public funds to waiting for the process of execution itself.
The bottom line is that Malawi is such a weak state, economically, no sane president would be willing to re-introduce the death penalty and face economic “boycott”, and political castigation, from major western countries. Some people think: Malawi can withstand more aid withholding. That’s just plain crazy thinking. The West (even Americans) feels strongly against death penalty: dire consequences could follow. You think you’ve seen poverty, in this country. Just wait! We are already suffering from effects of climate change. Poverty levels could easily increase by twenty – thirty per cent; and criminality – not just the petty variety –… Read more »
Oh please, do you really know America? It has death sentence in some if not most of its states. Our country needs to do what is necessary rather than listen to western countries which have lost so much power post-end-of-Cold War with a resurgent Russia and rising China as well as India. Where we are going, the west is going to lose more power. That’s why we need to stand on our two feet.
To hell with Kafantayeni justice because anyone who kills loses the right to their life. How can a murderer have human rights when s/he did not respect another person’s right to life? These stupid liberal laws are inhuman and counterproductive to the principles that underpin human rights. If someone takes away another person’s life, they do not deserve to live. The only exception is when someone does NOT deliberately or plan to kill another person. But any person who is involved in premeditated murder, should face the death penalty including Chanthunya.
