HRDC name 3 Malawi ministers behind petrol-bomb attack on activist Mtambo
The Human Rights Defenders Coalition (HRDC) has named three Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) officials who are also members of the Cabinet suspected to be the masterminders of petrol bombs that were thrown at HRDC Chairperson, Timothy Mtambo’s house and car.

One of the members MacDonald Sembereka said the Southern Region DPP governor Charles Mchacha, the party’s spokesperson Nicholas Dausi and Ben Phiri are sponsors of the attacks.
The three are also in President Peter Mutharika’s Cabinet with Dausi responsible for Homeland Security and Phiri for local government. Mchacha is deputy minister.
Sembereka said the trio has been meeting at Mchacha’s house in Area 15 in Lilongwe to plot the attacks.
He said this during a press briefing in Lilongwe that the activist will not be cowed by the savage attacks.
But Dausi denied that DPP is responsible for the attack on Mtambo’s house.

Mtambo has been in the forefront organising demonstrations to force Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) chairperson Jane Ansah to resign for allegedly messing up the May 21 2019 elections whose results are currently being disputed in court.
The HRDC chairperson has been a target for threats for his relentless action alongside other activists in fighting against human rights abuse and ensuring that the Malawi government is working in an accountable and transparent manner.
In August, 2018 thugs again petrol bombed HRDC offices in Lilongwe leaving a security guard severely injured.
Mtambo is also executive director of the Centre for Human Rights and Rehabilitation (CHRR) and vice chairperson of southern African Human Rights Defenders Network.

THE WAR HAS JUST BEGAN……..WE WILL KILL ALL DPP MINISTERS INCLUDING PETER MATHANYULA
The three people mentioned out of hatred of them, How can Mchacha who is Sick and weak be involved with an issue in Lilongwe. HRDC what ever you are planting and sowing will always come back to you, you think those people whose properties have been destroyed are Saints not to hit back? The victims you have victimised will definately seek revenge and get prepared for that.
akudwala edzi yanji??????????
Mtambo chitsiru cha munthu amaona ngati katundu yemwe waononga wa anthu aja zingafane ndi chiphakasala chake cha galimoto .
Poti bingu ndi wakwanu tikuziwa
Dausi, Mchacha and Phiri ndi a mbuli zodyera pakwamwa ndiye palibe chomwe angachite kumutundu wa Malawi kupatula kuononga komanso kupha ndizintchito zawo DPP kunazaza mbuli zokha zokha
Malawi ali pa mavuto, ophunzila ngati dr chaponda ndi gondwe kukhalila kuba basi, kuika mbuli dausi u minister wapsyeteza malubino mmalawi. Koma pa malawi sikwathu sure
Anthu nonse mukudabwa kuti dzina la Ben phiri latuluka pa list imeneyi ndiye kuti simumadziwa zomwe amachita namachende ameneyi? Im not surprised
There is no evil act that can happen in this nation without the name of Dausi mentioned. This man is evil through and through. He is retained in cabinet sololy for masterminding evil acts in this country. When you see Dausi given the ministry of homeland security just know that the government is geared for evil acts. But God is able to see him and I prayerfully hope that He will act very soon to save Malawians.
Why can’t we deal with this Dausi,on every evil news the name Dausi is there and comes this useless Mchacha and Ben Phiri.Let me warn them,the old politics of terror are long gone and those you are using them one day or the other shall surely face the feint.
Chisakomere MBUZI kugunda Galu, Nyumba ya Obama KUPHATIKIZAPO GALIMOTO inawotchedwa munthu oti analuza ndikale pa chisanko, a Rev. NKAWI ndi anthu ena ambirimbiri osalakwa nde ZALAKWIKA POTI YAPITA NDI ya a Mtambo. A Mtambo, a Chilima, a Busa a Chakwera kweni kweni akufuna chani poti mulandu ulikale ku khoti?.
we are going to haNG heads of dausi, mchacha and ben phiri on the wall aputa yolakwika
MTAMBO AKUFUNA ANENE KUTI MA MILLION TASONKHA AJA APSYA
Nicolas Dausi wa Malawi Young Pioneer uyu, zimene amadziwa ndi zimenezo. Kupha, Kuba ndi Kuwononga, jabulosi weniweni uyu
Look closely at the faces of Ben Phiri, Mchacha and Dausi. All are devils incarnates
Even mutambo himself is, especially when he opens his mouth. Canines are very visible.
Muburundi wopusa uyu. He has created a lot of enemies among the businesses that have been looted with his organization. Asians, Nigerians, maBurundi etc. I suspect that these all could have retaliated on him.
Komatu seriously speaking anthu awa ndiofunika kuwabwezerako pang’ono. Maka maka when they have the guts to do this in Lilongwe, atilowa. Apapatu they are testing the waters, if there is no reiteration you will see, pang’ono pang’ono ayamba kupha anthu. NDIPONSO PETROL BOMBS ARE WAR CRIMES!!! apapatu pofunika a ARMY atithandize a Malawi. A police palibe chomwe angapange poti nawonso ndimacadet
You’re the last person who should start naming names and yet you begun this war yourselves. So you mean you’re qualified enough to go out there and destroy other peoples property and when the same happens to you you scream foul? Noo! Have you forgotten the saying: “An eye for an eye?” Who are you to be do indispensable that you can cause mayhem to fellow human beings and when the same dose is dispensed to you you feel short-changed? Mwaziyamba nokha, muona kuti muzimaliza bwanji.
Seriously some businesses were destroyed and vandalised and foolishly point out to the police for the deeds. Please HRDC come back to your senses. STOP THESE DEMOZ FORTHWITH!!! THEY ARE NOT DOING ANY GOOD TO THIS NATION!!! WE NEED PEACE AND TRANQUILITY!!!! AND YOU REPORTERS EVERYONE YOU CALL CSOs. WHO EXACTLY ARE CSOS? WHO DO THEY REPRESENT? WHO SELECTS/ELECTS THEM? HOW MANY PEOPLE DO THEY REPRESENT???? PLEASE TRY TO BE FACTUAL PRESENT HONEST AND BALANCED REPORTING. NOT BECAUSE SOMEONE IS COMMENTING THE WAY YOU LIKE THEN THEY AUTOMATICALLY BECOME A CSO. IF THEY DONT EITHER A GROUP OF THUGS OR GROUP OF ACTIVISTS!!! REPORTERS YOU ARE INDEED FUELLING DESTRUCTION OF THIS COUNTRY!!!
No wonder this country is going no where with such stupid fools like you we can not go anywhere.HRDC are freedom fighters like how Chihana fought against one party you idiot.
Which freedom are they fighting for? Whose freedom? Are you telling us that those people who lost property by demonstrators are less human than Mtambo? Nkhonya yobwezera kuwawa.
WHAT? Chihana was not a stupid man, Chihana did not seek fame,Chihana never authorised looting, burning of property. He was our Hero who fought the dictaorship which you are trying to bring back. Chihana was not Homosexual supporter in fact he hated it, he was not a witch who used to go to the grave to speak to the dead, he never wore a 200 years old bangle. He wished Malawi good, even after his party lost in1994 he never wished to spill any blood for those he fought for. CHIHANA IS ONE OF MALAWIS HEROES.
Foolish dpp cadet
Achitsiru inu nanunso mtiudza chani?
DISTRUCTIVE PEOPLES PARTY DPPP MUKUONA NGATI TIZINGOKUYANG`ANANI MUKUPONYA MABOMBA Operation Bwedzani Yikubwera DAUSI Tikudziwa kuti iweyo nde KADETI NYANI PAMODZI NDI CHALESS MCHACHA KOMANSO BEN PHIRI

Timpana machende dausiyo
This crisis is in Malawi is self inflicted; most of our leaders chose themselves and pretend we endorsed them,and they stick to party agendas neglecting communities priorities . There are better people in our society who can lead us at community and state level without seeking titles yet we are manipulated by selfish politicians we know are thieves. We vote based on tribe and other affiliation and at community level (constitutiency) we are far aback. Things cannot change by one man; every person is called to be a leader at his on milieu. This year’s election should challenge the way we chose leaders into power. When the storm is over let us focus on a seed not a big tree; these MPs should be pushed to and flo and something happen in our communities. If we are to retrieve CDF Fund track for the previous Two years we will burn more houses of people involved with our funds. This country is really rich but demonstrations in this nation with half of the population illiterate and lacking basic knowledge of governance will yield no positive result. It is rather time to shop…Let us Re-think the forth-coming Demos at border posts and airports.
MOST OF US ( MALAWIANS ) DON’T LIKE THE TRUTH JUSTICE AND RIGHTEOUSNESS ——PLEASE OUR BELOVED MDF SHOW YOUR PROFESSIONALISM PROTECT OUR FREEDOM FIGHTERS -‘-
Definitely Dausi and Mchamcha are behind this.These two evil people are indeed the Mafias in DPP.Lizakwana la chi 40
So this is the kind of Malawian who needs protection other than first capital bank which u sent your guys to loot. the pharmacy you looted in city centre , the many businesses you have destroyed and public property . to hell with all your egos n how I wish something more happened.
You lamukwanila LA 40 coz some innocent people are suffering right now just bcoz he want to eat free money???? What kind of freedom do u thinks Malawi need?
The moment I read 3 ministers are behind, I knew Dausi Mchacha would be but did not expect Phiri; meaning the two are not human beings ….
THEY SHOULD NOT STAY IN LILONGWE BEN PHIRI, MCHACHA AND DAUSI LETS HUNT THEM AND KILL THEM LIKE DOG AND HANGS THERE COPSES ON THE WALL APUTA YOLAKWIKA
The struggle must continue…..these properties will be replace and security will be tightened! Stay vigilant and fight on the good fight my brother!!
Apa Dausi ndi Mchacha msakane, we know u are evil people and u had demonstrated this not once but several times. Ben Phiri is just a new kid in this company of crooks.
No retreat no surrender, tili nanu nanu next of next week on 27th August, nyumba zanu msamuse mu Blantyre , Lilongwe ndi mzuzu zikakhale ku Thyolo ndiku Mwanza otherwise we are in for it.
MMalo moti mukonze zimene anthu akudana nanu ndi pamene mukupitiriza.
True
OBVIOUS THESE THREE PPLE ARE RESPONSIBLE
This attack is a sad development. However, HRDC may be accusing the wrong people. The truth of the matter is that the leadership of HRDC as well as MCP and UTM have created for themselves a lot of enemies who are now very angry, following damage to property, loss of business and injuries as a result of the demonstrations. People affected are not just smiling. They are hurt. To whichever Churches these demonstration leaders belong, I would urge their Pastors to talk to them that the demonstrations are not peaceful. They are just creating animosity, and this is sinful. When there are no demonstrations, the country is calm. When there are demonstrations, there is a lot of suffering by many innocent people. I know a number of strong MCP and UTM followers whose property, including vehicles, have been damaged. The fear at the Border in Songwe for people to remove their cars so they are not damaged, note that the owners of these vehicles are not just DPP supporters, but also MCP and UTM. Demonstration leaders are shooting themselves in the foot. Where will these political leaders get the confidence to stand again for elections in 2024?
I totally agree with you, phiri. His enemies are not only DPP but those who have lost their katundu as well as those whom they are not protecting under the banner of human rights.
Olakwa amako pokubala iwe Phiri and bambo akanongotaya pambali umuna wawo ndithu
@phiri
A sober minded posting indeed.
Finger pointing at political leaders in the opposite parties serves no purpose, but only to inflame the crisis further.
Most Malawians do agree that political violence of any form, from any source is not acceptable. And, we should trust the Police to get to the bottom of this.
Ben Phiri should be very careful. He should be worried his days as a minister are numbered. This con idiot has fake qualifications and is stealing money from the government via dubious contracts. He will be exposed and jailed, mark my words
VERY RIGHT PHIRI!!!!
NOW HRDC WILL REALISE THAT THEY ARE NOT REPRESENTING ALL MALAWIANS!!! THEY NEED SOUL SEARCHING!! BE SOBER GENTLEMEN!!!!
Mwachita bwino apite Ku police akamang’ale munthu wodzikonda mtAmbo
The good thing is that you are an unknown character making silly comment, just as a coward as those who came under the cover of darkness to commit their crime.
UUUhuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu,eeeeeeeeeeeh eish, haaaaaaaaah ,mmmmmmhhhhhhh.
Ikangoyambika Civil War, Nicholas Dausi, Charles Mchacha, Ben Phiri adzachita kuphedwa ngati agalu. Ndipo tawakonzekera tidzachita nawo. Makamaka “Kafula” uyu Ben Phiri amachita Mastermind zinthu iye osaonekera.
Iwenso nde ntumbuka wina wopusa ngati Ntambo. Do you want a civil war? Mubwelere kwanu kuthengere uko.
Ntumbuka nawenso ndiye ukundivetsa chisoni. Mmene inayambira milandu, palibe appeal yomwe DPP inawinako, zonse a High Court amangozikhwatchamula, kkkkkk

Asatinamizepo awa ma plan awo omwe away akufuna kungopanga create enemity komaso kungofunirako extra funding
Paja this week, kwatuluka list ya anthu amene achita donate K60m for the upcoming demos. Masamu akuyenda mutu mwa Mtambo.
Agalu inu mwaiocha nokha inorder to draw people’s attention and to divate people’s minds from the case you are loosing in Court. How can dpp do that when they are winning the case
Munya muona simunati. Next step we will hear that your underwears have been petrol bombed
Nchilima has completely finished you guys. You trusted him and you wanted to use him like a condom. He realized that he was being misused.
Bravo Ngoni Nchilima waitha game.

THESE FOOL MINISTERS…ACHOCHA OLAKWIKA!
NO INTIMIDATION TO MALAWIANS…WILL SEE!
Following with keen interest

Comrade Mtambo, so sorry for the loss of your property! But hey, I hope the K60m individuals have contributed to the demos on 25th August, is intact?
Nicholas Dausi has always been mention in arson activities. Why is this the case?
