Head of Malawi Catholic cautions Mutharika on ‘Ndidzakunyenyanyenyani’
Archbishop of Blantyre Thomas Msusa has asked political leaders to watch their tongues ahead of the May 2019 tripartite elections, making a direct reference to President Peter Mutharika’s catchphrase “Ndidzakunyenyanyenyani’ [I will crush you].
Mutharika has been using the catchphrase in public political rally to challenge the DPP members demanding that he should not stand at the convention. He warned those who were rooting for Vice-President Saulos Chilima – before he announced on Wednesday that he would not challenge the incumbent for presidential candidacy- repeatedly warned he would crush them at the convention.
His grace Msusa, who is head of the Episcopal Conference of Malawi (ECM), urged political leaders to desist from using threatening words.
“We don’t want to hear words like ndikunyenyanyenyani, [I will crush you at the convention],” Msusa said.
He made the remarks during the 85th graduation ceremony for Form 4 students at Providence Girls Secondary School in Mulanje.
The leader of influential Catholic Church also asked Malawians to choose wisely in the May 2019 Tripartite elections and vote for leaders who are calm, patient and development-conscious.
He also condemned nepotism and cronyism.
But the presidential spokesperson, Mgeme Kalilani said the statement Mutharika made about ‘ndizakunyenyanyenyani’ is just a “figure of speech” which are never meant to be understood literally.
“One does not need to be a rocket scientist to understand that a politician’s statements on a political podium challenging his competitors to face him at an elective convention and saying that he would crush them does not have anything to do with violence,” Kalilani said in quotes reportedin the local press.
He said to pretend that one sees a call for violence in such a straight figure of speech was stretching pretence too far.

Ambuye Msusa, r u serious that when the president said(ndizakunyeninyenyani) he meant violence?inu munakulira kuti? sukulu yanu munalekeza STD chiani? Don’t think that for being head of catholics here in malawi means everyone should dance ur tune no no no!!!!!!

JEFFREY IS RIGHT, COME OUT IN THE OPEN
Thank you for telling this old man. Kamuzu once used the same language and said those trying to challenge him would be meat for crocodiles. Though no one was fed to crocodiles all opposition thought it was true but that was the same political rhetoric used by Pitala. Bakili used to say atumiza ndege zopanda mapiko.
che-msusa you were quite on albinol. kapena u are one of them( dealers)
AROMAwa ndi afalitsi. Ali ndi ana mmalokeshonimu. Enawa mpaka majunior? Chiwelengero cha anthu ambiri onwe akupululuka ndi HIV ndi ansembe a Roman Catholic. Ansembe akuononga mabanja m’malawi muno.
Kudzudzula kwa mwanoku ndi kosadabwitsa chifukwa the word Msusa is a translation for opposition. Mkulu ameneyu anachita chimodzimodzi Ku Providence Secondary School.
Ansembewa amusokoneza Chilima who was the undisputed DPP presidential candidate in 2024. The entire Chilima movement is infested with catholics. Mwamulakwira Chilima.

Original Bishop anali a katundu a Chiona si za Chinazi zonamizidwa ndi azigololo a chi na Mulomole ndi anzawo. Enafetu we have been catholics before jumping ship poona kuti kwachuluka ndikupembedza mafano. Munthu useme thabwa wekha kenako uyatse kandulo nkumaigwadira. Pali nzeru apa? Lero ma Bishop atopa ndikubisala pachipande. Amusokoneza Chilima lero ndi uyu angothawira paguwa ngati Yowabu. Inu simudziwa kuti ngakhale Yowabu adakakamira gome koma adagwazidwira pagome pomwepo? Kulephera kuzuzula ansembe awo akufalitsa edzi mmamizimu ndikumangobereka ana a pa tchire. We know you in and out ngati mukufuna kuti tinene zambiri ma bishop nenani. Kenako tidza bweretsa data ya ana amene mwabereka mmizimu ndi maina anu onse. Inu mukuona kuti mungamvotere Chilimayo nkuwina? Mulipo ma Bishop angati? Ndi akatolika angati amene mukuona kuti akutsatirani zopusa muchitazo? Please remember that respect is mutual musayese kuti ulemu umene mumapatsidwa you do enjoy it nowadays. Anthu takuonelerani kuti mwasukuluka zedi. Nchere osakomanso. Bwanji mukusogolera kubweretsa zisokonezo pomawatuma a che Mulomole kumawauza anthu azikayenda panseu? Kuli ku DRC mukadachita zimenezo? Ine I have friends priests amatibulidwa ku DRC komabe kutumikira akutumikira si zanuzi ayi. Musatiyankhulitse pambali.
Peter Muthalika is a savage and a thief
Chilima and Pitala ndiamodzi. Yina DPP A yina DPP B.
Akhala limodzi all this time. I don’t think a true member of MAP would go to Chilima. Amene akupitawo ndi a DPP okhumudwa. Agawana zida.
Viva MCP
Asatinamize awa, a few months ago they used foul language against former pope Benedict the 16th and those behind the distribution of a cloth bearing the former pope’s face.
The Malawi Catholic (but the church is actually Roman Catholic) is also on record gagging the ministry of education not to allow Mdalitso wa bodza as part of literature books to be studied in Malawi’s secondary schools. Ngati mukufuna kuimitsa kandidenti wanu pachisankho imitsani, tidzamunyenyanyenja pa May 2019.
Mgeme u are just useless. What about that of I will arrest you can you figure it out please what does it mean if its not violence. Do you arrest because one has dissenting views fokofo no more dpp next May you are gone you fuools.
Kalilani, uwawuuze abwana ako anyikaaaaaaaaaaa big time ndipo asiye kulankhula zoonunkha!! Period……………………..!! Ndi m’mene anayambira mkulu wake Bingu kuti kumapeto anyenye Chisowa, anthu 20 ku Mzuzu, Sheik Bagdad ku Liwonde etc etc etc
Anthu amene akudzudzulawo akudziwa chimene akuchitaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!
Is this a Malawian or Russian that he doesn’t understand Chichewa.? What about the Bishop involved in Alabino I killing. He thinks we have forgotten.
ine kudabwanayetu munthuyu, khani ya ma albonol sananenepo khanthu.mwina nayenso amapanga zomwezo
Mgeme should STOP cheating people, most DPP thugs take Mutharika’s words literally, for a fact and not as a figure of speech.
The evidence is plain and simple, one thug in Limbe was caught on camera assaulting and MCP sympathiser. Of course the police as expected have done nothing.
SHAME on THUGS!!!
AKULIMBA CHIFU BWANJI MNKULU AMENEYI ???BWINOTU BWINO ASAZATIBERENSO PAJA MBIRI ZAKE NZOTERO !!!
KkkK am very surprised that our bishop who did I philosophy, let alone logic, he doesnt see analogy in kunyenyanyenya. Even osaphunzila knows kuti the president meant to defeat not through physical war but election. Tiziti nonsenu simukuziwa izi kapena dala?? By de way
Msusa ndi the most right Reverend arch bishop msusa not just his grace. Amadana nazo zimenezo.
Whoever doesn’t take Peter threats literally is in denial. The man is capable of unleashing another “Mwanza four” at a click of a finger especially if he feels he’s losing a grip on power. He will indeed crush anything in his way to get to the control of the fiscus.
Ndi ndale izi naunso. Sipaguwa ayi. Let politicians do what they know best without religious referees.
Bishop Msusa stop poking your big flat nose into the political affairs of this country.Late Bingu had used the same ‘ndidzakunyenyanyenyani’ phrase in his speeches before but you did not raise any word of protest against him.Is it because Bingu was a catholic?Instead of pressing for a speedy trial of your fellow Bishop who is answering charges for murdering an albino, your are wasting time on petty issues.
Shame on you Bishop! Shame on Catholicism!
SKC should just get on his marks for the race. All the Catholics will be behind you. In Malawi Ntcheu and Nidrande decide the winner of presidential elections. If he doesn’t stand, MCP will take the whole Ntcheu district and Chakwera wll be the next President, mark my words.
ANGANENE CHANI A KALILANI SI AMADYETSEDWA NDI A NDIDZAKUNYENYANINYENYANI. IT IS NOT A FIGURE OF SPEECH. WHO IS HE TRYING TO FOOL. WE WERE TAUGHT ENGLISH LITERATURE AND FIGURES OF SPEECH DO NOT COME UNDER SUCH SITUATION AND DO NOT BEAR SUCH NOMENCLATURES.
Mr Kalilani sir are you kidding me……. Are you kidding me? what do you expect your empty headed cadets in dark glasses to do when they hear this rubbish? They have no time to think through any questions or issue and you know it.
Remember Bingu I will smoke you out. These figures of speech as you want to call them are not good in our political environment. We know how DPP behaves
Anthu awanso amazitenga ngati a holy holy chonsecho eee iiiiiiiiiii oooooooo
