Increased racism moves MP Musowa to ask Malawi govt for action: Cites Mpingwe Sports Club

October 8, 2020 Wanga Gwede- Nyasa Times 62 Comments

Member of Parliament for Mulanje Bale, Victor Musowa of Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) has asked Parliament to take action and deal with increasing cases of racial discrimination being perpetrated by foreign nationals against Malawians.

Victor Musowa (c) has asked Parliament to take action and deal with increasing cases of racial discrimination being perpetrated by foreign nationals against Malawians.

Using private members motion, Musowa said some places of entertainment and hotels are barring Malawians from access and that in some hotels, Malawians are being racially abused.

The legislator has since called upon the Legal Affairs and Foreign Affairs committees of Parliament to zero in on the matter and come up with a solution to ensure the malpractice is tamed.

Musowa cited an example where some Malawians were allegedly turned away from accessing Mpingwe Sports Club on claims of racial abuse.

“I am a sober parliamentarian who always think about tomorrow. I opened it to the public so that we should have an ample time to look at the reality,” said Musowa after he moved his private member’s motion.

However, Minister of Homeland Security Richard Chimwendo Banda while agreeing with Musowa that the problem is significant and needs to be dealt with, said investigations have shown that some clubs such as Mpingwe are membership-based hence only paid-up members are allowed entry.

“When we see such issues of racism coming up, we should condemn them,” said Chimwendo Banda.

He cautioned against generalising Indians as bad, saying there are some who are contributing positively to the national development.

Chimwendo Banda, nonetheless, said Indians must respect that Malawians have rights too, including to proper earnings.”

He said the government is committed to enforcing relevant laws to deal with the issue adequately.

  1. Gandhi was racist same Mwenyes are following their leader specialist in rape stealing corruption what have they done for this country apart from stealing they think there shit don’t stink 🤣🤣🤪 jokers machendes

  2. Nchifukwa chake ku South Africa akuwafufuzanso amenewa. Chodabwitsa nchoti nkhati kwanu ku India nkopambana osakhala konko bwanji. This is why Julius Malema is fighting the evil Guptas. Even in USA They have infiltrated the government with the evil man himself Bill gates of Hell. And you want to point at African tribalism. Lets talk about the caste systems in India. Lets talk about the evil wife burning practices in India. The shame is that our Politicians have sold our country to the lowest bidder.
    Even Nthawi ya Kamuzu a mwenye amaba ndalama kulowetsa mu chitanda cha munthu wakufa in the process of theft. If they came to improve welfare ya ma blacks why not start in India where kuli umphawi woti if A barren white woman wants she can rent an Indian Uterus for very cheap. So all of you Muther cunts saying malawi has a low gdp take your asses back to india and fix your own shit. You fuckers came here as coolies anyways.
    And when you saw it was nice in Africa you invited your chapati friends. Malawians start reading real History even the so called ghandi was a Racist thats why India is split in half . Dont put foreigners on a pedestal even those who speak Your language.

  3. Musowa wasowa zochita and wayiwala za tribalism which dpp subjected to Malawians. Bingu, APM and the entire DPP thieves thought that Lomwes were superior. Only Lomwes were given top positions. They introduced the quota system of education just to ensure that northerners are pushed aside. Today he attacks Indians who have always lived in isolation. We don’t even see their girls and women. Leave them alone it’s their culture.

  4. These indians are real bandits. They are robbing Malawi to no account. Their companies pay very limited taxes. They work with accounting firms controlled by Indians (such as ERNST YOUNG) to come up with a set of books for the banks and another one for MRA. Ernst Young is the gang leader. MRA knows this very well but since Shiraz Yusuf pays them very very well, they their heads away. John Bisiwick knows this as he has worked closely with Shiraz Yusuf when he was at PCL. We are watching him to see how he is going to handle the like of SHIRAZ YUSUF. He better knows that we are watching him and will not hesitate to broadcast the outcome of our investigations to the people of Malawi.

    1. Martin, you are making a very good point here. The key for Tonse is to generate tax revenue to rebuild our country. If this bad accountant is using an international brand to help Asian business people evade taxes, he must be punished. Shiraz Yusuf is bad and baddest. I am surprise that Ernst & Young can continue to put up with this man unless the international brand is also corrupt.

    2. MALAWIANS, Please denounce these bandits whenever you are aware of their mischiefs. We must retake our country. Such blatant tax evasion organized by ERNST YOUNG is not acceptable. We must track this and denounce them to the authorities.

      1. My cousin works for Shiraz Yusuf. He has assembled a lot of information on corrupt actions that he will share with ACB and the authorities.

      2. Samuel, FYI a group of NGOs who are promoting good governance in Malawi have filed complaints against EY and his CEO in a number of international organizations. There are lot of investigations on Shiraz Yusuf and we shall soon hear about the outcome. I am a a lawyer to one of the NGOs

        1. You are right. I am aware of this initiative that may lead to the end of Shiraz in Malawi. He will soon be under the fire. Poor CEOs who rely on him are better jump ship before it is too late.

    3. MRA is now fully controlled by Shiraz Yusuf, now that his friend John Bisiwick is the chief. Bisiwick gave fat contracts to Yusuf when he was the chief operations at Press Corporation. In Malawi, we are all foolish. For a few tips, we give the keys to our houses to these mwenyes who properly rob us. Surely Shiraz is happy to have his friend as head of MRA. Now all mwenyes will go to Ernst Young to cook their books and rob our Tonse government of the little taxes that they paid under DPP. Sad Malawi

      1. Please leave John Bisiwick out of Shiraz Yusuf’s mess. John is a friend of mine and a fellow member of my church. He was a top executive of a company that gave lots of contracts to Shiraz Yusuf and his company Ernst Young. But John was not the key man in charge at Press. He has since moved on and is now at the top of MRA. Knowing John, I believe that his door will be closed to shady characters like Shiraz Yusuf. Lets give him a change and you will see by yourself. Thank you

        1. I fully agree. Please leave John Bisiwick out of the shinegans that Shiraz Usuf has with Press. At Press, the buck stops at the desk of the CEO and not at the desk of the COO. Shiraz Yousseff knows this very well and, as a master manipulator, he knows on who to apply pressure. Shiraz Yousseph will only waste his time to buy out the key players. John has moved on to greener pasture. Shiraz Yousseffff is in safe territory since the CEO of Press still has his job (for now!) A lot of people beyond the new board members are monitoring his moves. It will be interesting to see how this CEO behaves next

          1. What do you mean by leaving John alone. Look, being a COO is tantamount to being the CEO. Look, John had a lot of power at Press and he was clearly able to hire or not to hire good and bad apple consultants such as Shiraz Yusuf. One cannot now tell me that he had no relationship with Shiraz Yusuf. The fact, these big Malawian CEO and COO rely on Asians and often, on bad Asians. Poor Malawi

        2. Irma, I like your loyalty to John Bisiwick. I don’t know him from Adam. He is certainly a fine man. We have plenty of fine men in Malawi and the mwenyes know how to take advantage of their fineness. Lets see how John Bisiwich will treat Shiraz Yusus in the weeks and months to come. People have gone on the record to tie him up with Shiraz Yusuf. He must prove them wrong by investigating the books of all Ernst Young’s clients presented to MRA. These investigations must be aggressive and public. Only then will I agree that John Bisiwick is not one of Shiraz Yusuf’s puppets. Ok, “lets give him a chance and we will see by ourselves”. Lets!

    4. No one must underestimate Shiraz Yusuf. He is considered to be one of the most powerful person in Malawi. He uses the “prestige” of Ernst Young to corner most companies in Malawi to give him contracts. People who know him thing that there is a pay-play in place. Anyone who knows more about his scheme should contact ACB. The thing is Ernst Young will soon get rid of him. His partners do not like how Shiraz Yusuf is using the brand in Malawi. There are just too many complaints about the man. He is the worse of the mwenyes. The association of chartered accountants is also investigating Shiraz Yusuf. Soon the chicken will be coming home to roost.

      1. Please any Malawian who knows anything on how these mwenges are robbing Malawi shall report them to the ACB. These mwenges have hired a lot of Malawians to do minor work for them. Malawians, you must spy on the mwenges and report to the authorities. We can’t go back for another round of colonialism, this time from asians pakistanis

        1. Malawians, please contact me if you need help to expose these bandits to ACB. I have a lot of cases I am representing against the people who have been listed above. Game is on.

      2. The chartered accountants association is worrying that Shiraz is using EY signature to issue bogus audit certificates. It will be interesting to see what their investigation conclude. Malawi must follow this matter very closely.

  5. Mr MP PLZ TAKE SOME STATS

    YEAR OF MALAWI REG
    ELECTION POPULATION VOTERS

    2009 14 MILLION 5.8mill

    2014 16 MILLION 7.4mill

    2019/20 19 MILLION 6.8 mill

    Looks like 60/70% of malawian population are indigenous malawians or either they have a british passport
    So they dint go to vote

    Or may be they way racially abused

    Plz u gotta think before u talk

    Homework has to be done well

  6. Just recently at Lilongwe Muslim sports club,those who hadn’t paid their membership were barred from entering the club grounds ,those people happened to be Their fellow” mwenyes”.were they being racist !!?.

  7. Just recently,at lilongwe Muslim sports club ,those who hadn’t paid their membership fees were barred from entering the club grounds,those people happened to be their own fellow mwenye’s.Would you say they were being racist !!?.

    2. We are all Idi Amin! Malawians are no longer in control of their country. Our country has been sold of to Asians. We are all Idi Amin Dada

  9. The issue of face masks in indian companies is rampant where locals are given cheap cloth masks while indians are given medical ones.
    We have situations around.

  10. Indians should know if we are to take them seriously they should start improving the wages they pay to ordinary Malawians. They treat Malawians like slaves and most of them have fraudulent Malawian citizenships. Take it or leave it. We should treat one another with respect.

  11. why malawians cry always. sometimes we are the ones to blame for remaining silent when these amwenye mistreat us,Lets wake up and fight our rights well.
    We have incidences where a whole group company HRM has no company vehicle allocated ,its a shame slavely in our own house.act my fellow malawians.

  12. Fact is these Indians are racist. they think they can treat people however they want just because they have money. The story here is that a lady was chased from the mpingwe club swimming pool not because she’s not a member but because blacks are not allowed at the pool. So you folks here backing up these racist cunts should get the story straight first before making conclusions.

  13. Why did you go to Mpingwe Club? Don’t you that for a long time Amwenye do not mix with us? We have different cultures and unlike mzungu Amwenye stink strongly to their culture and you will not see their women in public. Amene anapita ku Mpingwe had a reason kuti apeze zonena. We have to fight what the do in their companies like locking up employees in bakeries. Breach of employment laws. Izi za racism izi zikuwoneka kuti zikuvutirapo.

  14. Some hotels in Malawi are banning access to Malawians! Really! Which hotel owner / manager would imagine that this could possibly be a move likely to increase his profits? Hotels in Malawi ban trouble-makers. If the trouble-makers happen to be Malawians, why should anyone be surprised? This is Malawi! If you go to any country in the world, you will find that most of the trouble-makers are citizens of that country. Mr MP, please tell us where you will see signs in hotels stating: ‘Only non-citizen trouble-makers will be excluded from these premises’. MPs should not waste our time (and theirs) by grandstanding for the MBC cameras. Those of us who exercise our critical faculties when viewing are not impressed by such Trumphole behavior.

    1. Are you Indian??. Just a question. ???Freedom of speech is a constituional right but discrimination is not.

      1. If you are not interested in discriminating against me on the basis of my cultural origins, why do you enquire about them. My point is that hotels do not ban customers unless their behavior chases away other customers. It is amazing how many drunken trouble-makers in the evening become self-righteous saints the next morning. Just because they claim a common heritage with us is no reason to support their claims of unfair treatment.

        1. But . . . to reply to your question: my granma told me she was one sixteenth Cherokee, so how much of an Indian does that make me?

  17. It is sad for a rightful owner of the land to shout “I have rights too”. The best to say was “this is our land and we own it”

    1. Yes she is a rightful owner of the county as a citizen

      She doesnot own all the land
      Most of the land is sold by malawians legally to non malawians.
      So once u sale
      Then u want it back aftet u finished the bucks

      Sounds like an 8 year old kid

      The satement clearly stated
      Only members allowed

      If a women enters men bathroom
      Knowing its a men bathroom
      Whos wrong

      Malawi is peaceful country
      United we stand
      Departed we fall

  18. Amwenyenso ndiayaninso nawo. They’re facing the same treatment here in the West just like the any other minorities. Just send them back to stinking countries and barr them from ever coming back to our warm heart of Africa. Anyone found to be racist or abusive towards Africans must be kicked out of the country.

      2. Double 0 7, you are foolish. Where did you get your stats. Please go bac to school. In India or in Pakistan, you will be a house boy! All mwenyes in Malawi are rotten

    2. Why dont you try this out in western countries where afro Americans should be sent back Or the refugees / illegal migrants in eu

    3. Dear beggar,
      Talk when your GDP becomes crosses $400 … Idiotic donor funded country suckling the teats of Foreign donors and drinking chibuku subsequently…

        1. Indians shit in water
        2. Indians look like monkeys infact Dna is more neandrathal than Homo sapien sapien
        3. Indians have the rape culture that is why they can gang rape a woman on the bus in Mumbai and no Justice prevailed for the dead young woman. Nothing like that has ever happened in Malawi.
        4. Indians are also banned in European countries because they stink up communities with hair and nasty curry.
        5. If you dont like Malawi why come and live with Malawians, stay in Mumbai and smell the feces your country men put in the nasty Indian water.
        6. The day that you look down on Africans is coming to a screeching dead bolt halt, poor or not. You dont see Caucasians going to India to develop it but they go to Africa.
        7. So get your curry eating asses back to Punjabi or come correct.

  19. In the same vein, Malawians must respect people different to themselves. the tag line of Mzungu, Nkaladi and Amwenye is just as derogatory. A person of colour other than black cannot walk through the streets of Limbe without being acosted as “Mzungu, Ching Chong, Amwenye”. Such MPs looking to raise their political profile should Preach Racial Tolerance to all in Malawi, this is 2020 for fuck’s sake.

    2. Call me a black I don’t care you are Mzungu or mwenye period but lets be fair to one another. A poor man is a sleeping lion don’t wake him up. Ask Peter he will tell you.

    3. I agree. If ever there was a racist man it’s the black Malawian. However mostly out of ignorance. if in the middle of Dubai people shouted ” black man, negro” we would be extremely offended. However in Malawi it’s ” mzungu, nkhiwa, mwenye” and nobody ever condemns it.

      1. Well people who have been sabjugated or been under white supremacists rule are not liable to practice RASCISM this is because rascim is an institutionalised form of hate toward other persons.Malawians do not have global influence to impact the racial status of Indians or Europeans hence y when they say mwenye or mzungu it’s not rascim but rather a form of prejudice which is used is context and not from a distractive place as when whites/Indians call u blackie/nigga..

  20. I’m not too sure who got it wrong here, the reporter or the MP? But you need to be a member of a club to be allowed entrance. The same will apply to any of the other clubs in Malawi. If youb are not a member , you will not gain access, period. Joining to be a paid up club member means you made the choice to be inclusive in that society and bunch of people. If you want entrance to mpingwe club, request membership application forms.
    So you point is absolutely fantastic that we are all MALAWIANS and are all ONE, however, your example is totally WRONG. Try go to blantyre, lilongwe, thyolo, mulanje, kasasa, nchalo or any other club that membership is the criteria and see if you are allowed access of you are not a paid up member?

    1. I think you have missed the point, if you go to any of those clubs across the country that you mention there are Malawian members in those clubs. How many Malawians are members at Mpingwe club? They are not accepted membership because of their colour

    2. The question is what are the conditions for you to be accorded membership. The Kasasa club you have mentioned was using employment grades at first because most employees of the defined grades were whites. When the black numbers started going up the whites moved to Ngala beach where you could be lodged in if you were black and they were not serving day visitors.

    3. I think the MP got it right and so did the Journo. It is easy to be a member of the other clubs you have mentioned than Mpingwe Sports Club. I am not even sure if one can walk in and access membership application forms. Its possible that membership here is by invitation, so one can say club membership here is not open to all.

    4. While this may be true I wonder if the manner in which this was communicated didn’t feel like racial discrimination. We are all aware that too many times the customer service rendered to blacks and non blacks is different. I also wonder if the prices of the memberships are purposely intended to prevent certain types of people entry. While any business is entitled to set it’s prices as it wants the general public and community is also entitled to call out the negative impact on them or such practices. Instead of only paid up memberships access why not also have inclusive prices eg for day access.

    5. Mpingwe club will not even give your nigga butt application forms. Even ask to rent a shop and see what you are charged. When an Indian gets the same shop he will be paying almost half the rentals. In the end you say Malawians samatha business. It’s a whole system my friend

      1. Really sad. Indians do not like this country. Those of them who cheat on taxes must be kicked out. Period
