Joyce Banda dismisses Mutharika’s ‘olive branch’ mantra: ‘I face imminent danger in Malawi’
Former Malawi president Joyce Banda has denied claims by President Peter Mutharika that she was responsible for bad publicity of the Head of State, saying the accusations were utterly shocking and she has also spoken on “other equally shocking matters” as raised against her by the DPP government.
During a news conference held on June 25, 2015 upon his arrival from Mozambique , Mutharika is quoted as accusing Banda of paying journalists to write negative stories about him; that she allegedly interfered with the electoral process in May 2014 , shunned his inauguration; and that the former president has rejected an ‘olive branch’ the President had extended to me.
“I have never paid any journalist to write bad stories against President Mutharika. On the contrary, President Mutharika had invited journalists to Sanjika Palace for an interface in November 2014. While there, journalists were offered MK50, 000s. Some journalists returned the envelopes containing the cash as they felt it was morally and ethically wrong to receive it,” Banda said in a media statement.
“On the elections of May 20, 2014, I indeed raised serious concerns about the many irregular activities that took place in the course of the elections such as the announcing of results from other places when others were still voting elsewhere. Many Malawians shared my concerns and in the interest of ensuring a smoother process where Malawians genuinely choose their preferred candidate, I had suggested that a presidential poll re-run take place where I would not be available as a candidate. So, there was no question of envy against anyone as I no longer had vested interest,” she state.
“In spite of all this, the courts ruled in favour of the Malawi Electoral Commission to go ahead and announce the results of the elections whereupon Professor Peter Mutharika was declared winner of the presidential race. I was one of the first people to accept this and immediately congratulated the President-elect.”
On Mutharika’s offer of an “olive branch” to Banda, she said late Yasser Arafat, who was Palestinian President once said: ‘I come bearing an olive branch in one hand, and the freedom fighter’s gun in the other. Do not let the olive branch fall from my hand.’
Banda said this was a serious quote with hostile connotations. During his inauguration, President Mutharika made almost a similar declaration about me.
“I take serious exception to the President’s ‘extension of the olive branch’ because he has never attempted to reach out to me if he were indeed to talk about reconciliation.
“Within the six hours of his being declared winner, my official cars were withdrawn. I woke up at six o’clock in the morning without any car. In his inauguration speech, President Mutharika started by castigating me. I have ignored all this and I have told myself and all Malawians that a country can only have one leader at a time and that as a country, we must move together into the future.
“Since I left office in May 2014, I have not uttered any single word to denigrate Professor Peter Mutharika;On the contrary, I have endured untold political persecution and abuse in the past year,” she said.
Banda said DPP government, through its spokesperson, Kondwani Nankhumwa told a news conference in Lilongwe on December 4, 2014 that they had handed over CCTV footage to the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) that captured meetings between chief cash-gate convict Oswald Lutepo and her.
“This was an apparent attempt by the DPP government to implicate me in the cash-gate scandal. However, State House security officers have confirmed that CCTV cameras at all state residences have not been functional since the time of the former President late Bingu wa Mutharika. The ACB has been calling for the alleged CCTV footage without any success,” she pointed out.
“In February 2015, government announced through spokesperson Nankhumwa that international organizations should not recognize and honour me for my various life achievements before consulting the Malawi Government. Government went further to demand that I must always take leave of President Mutharika every time I make any trip abroad.
“I find such demands not in conformity with the law. I am a private citizen who can travel to anywhere in the world anytime without any restrictions,” stated Banda.
Banda added that President Mutharika has also made “serious allegations” to the effect that she had planned to kill him when he was arrested on alleged coup plot charges in March 2013.
President Mutharika claimed “fake doctors” had been hired to poison him while in police custody and that he has sworn affidavits of the alleged ‘fake’ doctors. Mutharika further said he would use this information when the right time comes.
“On May 9, 2015, at the memorial of late President Bingu wa Mutharika at Ndata Farm in Thyolo, government through spokesperson Nankhumwa, claimed they had evidence that I had killed President Bingu wa Mutharika and that I must therefore be taken to court. These claims are extremely serious and expose me to serious danger. This issue was extensively reported both in local and international media,” Banda said.
The former president, who has not set foot in Malawi since September, said recentky the DPP government weakened her security by withdrawing some security apparatus.
“The withdrawal of security apparatus, accusations of attempted murder and killing of a sitting President and the CCTV footage allegations are a source of great concern not only to me and my entire family but to many people both in Malawi and abroad,” she said.
“As a result of this precarious situation, my husband, retired Chief Justice Richard Banda, who was in Malawi renovating our village home preparing for my return, has since written the international community, including the diplomatic community in Malawi, to alert them about the imminent danger that I face in Malawi.
“ Malawians are aware that there is a total breakdown of security in the country where both police officers and innocent civilians are being killed in broad daylight. This scenario does not help matters in as far as my own security is concerned. “
Furthermore, she said events of October and November 2010 justify her concern.
“ During that time, when I was State Vice President, my security was also drastically reduced and weakened. On November 19, 2010, one month later, I was involved in a mysterious road accident at Kanengo in Lilongwe. This accident was widely reported by newspapers in Malawi. As a family as well as many people feel the current scenario may be history repeating itself.”
She also accused the DPP government for not providing her with any of her retirement benefits, including a decent and secure home, transport and salary since she left office in May 2014.
“While all this is happening, President Mutharika has been informing former and current Presidents as well as leaders of international bodies that I am welcome to return home and that I would not face any political harassment. However, my family, Malawians and the international community are surprised that every time President Mutharika goes around the globe promising leaders about my safety and freedom, a few days later, the government spokesperson goes public to scandalize me and make statements that contradict the President’s purported standpoint.,” said Banda.
On President Mutharika’s assertions about former Presidents of Mozambique having cordial relationship, Banda stated: “I personally know former Presidents of Mozambique, Joaqium Chissano and Armando Guebuza. For instance, President Chissano and I shared the Africa Prize for Leadership for the Sustainable End of Hunger International Award in 1997. I have also closely worked with former President Guebuza for the past three years. I have never heard both former Presidents of Mozambique talk ill about fellow Mozambican leaders.”
Banda advised the Mutharika government that instead of picking unnecessary fights with perceived opposition political enemies, the President ought to seriously focus on his work as there are many pressing issues affecting the general citizenry in Malawi especially the rising insecurity and crime; impending hunger; water and electricity shortages; and the collapsing economy.
“The President must expeditiously work on a transparent programme to expose the looters of the K92 billion through a forensic audit by Price Waterhouse instead of playing hide and seek with Malawians. When that is done, Malawians ought to know the truth through Parliament,” said Banda.
“I know that this is possible because we did it in 2013 during my administration when revelations of cash-gate emerged. When the European Head of Delegation, Ambassador Alexander Baum, alerted my administration about the problems with IFMS (Integrated Financial Management Information Systems) and how people may have been abusing it, I announced at ECAMA (Economics Association of Malawi) Annual Conference in Mangochi on September 7, 2013 that my government would review IFMIS. This announcement also marked the genesis of investigations into cash-gate,” said Banda.
Banda insists that she has no regrets over her handling of the Cashgate affair in which civil servants, businessmen and politicians were put on trial accused of exploiting a loophole in the government’s payment system to divert millions into their own pockets.
She says she asked the British government to fund a forensic audit, made publicly available online and also launched an investigation into Bingu wa Mutharika’s last three years as president that uncovered the theft of a staggering K92bn.

You cant fight war WHILE IN ANOTHER COUTRY MAII. IF YOU ARE INNOCENT WHY NOT COME HOME AND FACE THE GIANTS. NOW WE ARE GETTING SUSPICIOUS OF WHAT YOU ARE DOING . PROBABLY YOU ARE PLANING TO BE LIKE YATUTA CHISINZA, CHIPEMBERE OR TATE MPAKATI. COME HOME YOUR HUSBAND IS SUFFERING STAYING BY HIMSELF. ACHIMWATU NDI AZIMAYI ENA. YOUR HUSBAND IS VERY HANDSOME. ONCE AGAIN IF YOUR HANDS ARE CLEAN WHY NOT CDOME HOME. THE POLICE WILL WELCOME YOU AT THE AIRPORT STRAIGHT TO MAULA PRISON. YOUR FILES ARE READY AND THE LAWYERS ARE ALSO READY
Just come home and enjoy the beautiful beach house that your husband built for you. I would die to live there
The fact that she is afraid to come to Malawi means she knows there is something she has done which she hopes will go away or will be forgotten while she is away. She is avoiding malawi because she is scared that she will be found out! she finds easier to cheat outsdiers than Malawians because Malawians know her very well. I am sure people like Kasambara, Lutepo and many more could write abook about that woman
We dont need her in Malawi so it is best she stays abroad.
It is very surprising, that people on this page are too vocal in favour of Joyce, How come you did not vote for her, she came third.
Now she should come forth!!
Zilema Sasekana Ndikulakwa kwakukulu uyu wa litata winayo woyenda ngati bakha nanga ziri bwino pamenepo? Ayi ndithu enanu mukuwonjeza kusiya ku commenta nkhani mukutonza zikugwerani muona
Stupid guys they just say about mama,these brothers are messing with our nation.its sad you go to other countries and start bosting.What have done to Malawi? Mmy nation is a joke,the president has been out for longtime but no fresh ideas.

When Benazia Bhuto was killed in Pakistan, the first step was reducing her security detail.. I smell a rat here.
Amai these thugs are planning bad things. As long as your security is not guaranteed then I support your continued stay there abroad. Civil servants are not yet paid. Security is porous. Life is tough since you left the presidency mai Joyce Banda.
I have never paid any journalist to write bad stories against President Mutharika. On the contrary, President Mutharika had invited journalists to Sanjika Palace for an interface in November 2014. While there, journalists were offered MK50, 000s. Some journalists returned the envelopes containing the cash as they felt it was morally and ethically wrong to receive it. Said Mrs Joyce Banda
To be honest Mai don’t come whether people call you names let them do so don’t put your life in danger but use this as your tool of protection your a believer and a born again trust God Hewill do it for you he delivered Paul and syrus He will surely deliver you and Makawi as a whole from the evil DPP and it’s Peter Mutharika. Infact you are not the only one Kamulepo Kalua and Kabwira have already received death threats and speaker also is in there plans to be impeached lets all together ask God to entervine and use psalm 9,91and 107 surely God will answer us May God deliver us from these demons leading our beloved Natio Malawi Amen
President wa litata kulephera kuyankhula kkkkkkkkkkkk koma abale mumutengere kumwayi Wathu akadule litata akumatipangitsa manyazi munthu ameneyu, komanso asiye kunyambita lilime ngati khanda poyankhula!!!!!!! shupiti nchona

4get about JB. wht malawians want ndichitukuko. sulary in gud tym nt like malebala. 1 yr opanda cholozeka.
A fully grown ex acting president, shamefully barking, barking, barking, barking and barking some more…. for nothing!
You have mixed your observations. It is vice-versa. Who has been barking all along in search of another despite having many problems to solve?
Okay, enough of this bickering you two need to grow up and stop this stupidity. I’m really sick and tired of both of you now.
So it is true that you are in exile, running away from being prosecuted from all the alleged cases you have highlighted.
Mama, just come back home and defend yourself if at all they will arrest or implicate you. Have you already forgotten how many people you threw in jail after just few days you got inaugurated to be the caretaker president?
Mama, muyeso umene umayesela nzako nawenso umazayesedwa nawo omwewo. We can see that you are making all this noise so as to buy sympathy from us. Pliz zisatikhuze!!!!
Bwelani kuno kumuzi kuti mwina muzayesedwenso ndi muyeso uja… However I dont believe that you will be killed/assasinated as you said. But may be implicated in issues related with cashgate and Mphwiyo shooting, since Kasambara & Lutepo mentioned about your involvement. JUST COME!! NO UNNECESSARY TANTRUMS HERE Madam.
Yassar Arafat’s was a different issue madam, you have nothing to say.
She is now haunted by Lutepo’s arrest because she knows that she is next which is obvious. Malawi needs the money you are spending in New York and JBurg. Bring the money but through an arrest of course because that is the route to make it happen.
Why the “Fuss”,with JB?Malawians,eeish!
Spare Chief Justice retired in your nomadic mongering.
The old man needs rest.
Ndiye a mai mukumva bwanji mpaka dzaka 5 muli koyenda. Koma munapha munthu? Chifukwa nkhani ya cashgate ndi bibi imene nonse a ndale mwazipaka. Ama iwe uli puresident mesa bambo mathanyula ankayankha mirandu yankhaninkhani monga cashgate of K92 billion, midnight six,issue concerning his properties, greencard issue. Komatu mwana mlomwe sadathawe ayi.Ankafuna kuti a Malawi adadziwa choonadi mchifukwa mirandu yonse idali yopanda ncthito. Achena Kalirani, achena Patricia, achena Mboshombosho. Why you mama. Iweyo mitsonkho yathu zedi. Ufune usafune udzabwera kuno mpaka udzayankha mulandu wako garu iwe.Chiphika mandazi ungakhale puresidenti.
Mamamama owoh koma
Madam JB I would like to support your views hundred percent and that what I wish is to see you remain and stay out there until God would use His mighty cardiac arrest for the young kahuna to depart for their eternal hell. In fact this people the so called lhomwes are very satanical in nature that we are all failing to trust them and not only you. So Mama please let me say that what we Malawians want is your happiness alone not being troubled by these thugs and crooks. I remain there for now.
these are the harvests madam Joy,if you were such a crime free Malawian citizen,I hop you could have stepped in your own land with your freedom but I suggest something some where is very wrong my dear grand mum.
When you have one grown man, a professor for that matter fighting a woman, just know that he has no medulla oblangata in his shell called his skull/brain.The mutharikas are like that.They thrive on fighting and intimidation.He is failing to run that stupid government where everything is going wrong.Focus on sorting out the problems we now face.
AT LAST we have an open and honest statement from a former-president. I wish the current president would be equally honest. Former-presidents who have made themselves very rich are open to suspicion but this one makes me believe her. We know that both of the Mutharika brothers suffered from severe paranoia, always seeing enemies under the bed. Her description of APM’s behaviour is very believable to me. Why do these Mutharikas always appoint Information Ministers who feed their cowardly delusions ?? They would be better off with psychiatrists and priests!!
Let us hear more from JB !!
‘Azungu akuti’ at it again. The whole president came to know of the weaknesses of IFMIS when she was told by EU Ambassador, kikkkkkkkkkk. Sometimes it is better to keep quiet that exposing your emptiness in public.
Just come back and explain your role in cashgate as alleged by Lutepo. In case you dont know, Lutepo has been turned into a state witness, ndiye kaya mulimba kaya tiziwone.
As a SA foreigner without papers I know better, if I am moving around here and I see a police car, I dare not run away because that will make the police realise that I am without papers but infact I go to them and ask directions just to show that I am not fearing anything. Stop hallucinating and go back home usatitopetse wena.
Amai Sitikukudwalani Kuno Or Mutati Musadzabwelenso. Koma Nsonda Mwamulakwilatu Simumati Akuti Munamuuza Kuti Mutobwera!
Iwonder why the president is asilent man when it comes to national issues but very noisy at nonsense.You have avery hard working vice president but your lazy DPP workmates are pulled down his strength,now you want JB to be following you at your useless rallies.Though JB did some wrongs,you are not the one to prove her wrong doings.Yes you are alawyer,but your past mistakes and current,where you made serious contradictions with the laws dont prove your real academic qualifications of being alawyer neither they prove that you are indeed aproffesorial material.For your personal dignity you better stop these JB huntings
The strongest woman (for white people) is finally afraid of her own shadow. And who told these whites that JB is a strong woman deserving awards? The cowardice shown here should be enough to prove the west wrong!
I can see JB was relieved when she noted that CCTV doesn’t work Ku sanjika after nankhumwa claimed they had there meeting with lutepo on tape. Why is she clarifying that they have not been working since she was at sanjika? Oyipa athawa yekha but whatever goes up soon must come down.
Wanting the president to respond to these is petty
Peter ndi Joyce amadziwana. Akulira limodzi Peter ali Std 8 Joyce akubadwa
Tikudikira kudza kwa Yesu
Why should JB come to Malawi? And when she comes what will she be doing? Busybodying at Misonkhano or that he should be quoted in newspapers. A person should be where she or he will be productive and have peace of mind. A lot of people yap Joyce is a thief, joyce is a thief but I wonder why is not in court now. For sure, she cannot run away from the long arm of the law. This is now one year since she was kicked out of state house but I don’t see anything to warrant all the noise that she looted state funds apart from the same hearsay. A thief should not be allowed to enjoy eating masausage ku USA! Something is wrong somewhere!
“Cowards die many times before their natural death.However the valiant test death only once” Julius Ceaser
JB has explained everything clearly. Peter wants JB arrested to revenge his detention at Lumbadzi police station. That is cheap politics.
Instead of blubbering, why cant Kondwani Nankhumwa issue evidence of a plot to murder Peter? evidence as to how JB murdered Bingu? Evidence as to how JB cashgated money from account number one? Evidence of how she swindled the proceeds of jet? Why cant they issue a warrant of arrest for JB? Interpol can assist in this. Cheap propaganda by Nankhumwa who is using his brothers certificate. Shame upon him.
This is a game of life and death for JB? Still I am of the view that the proceeds of the sale of the jet should be investigated? JB is not receiving any salary and yet she is able to live a luxurious life abroad. Where does she get the money to sustain such a life for over 9 months? Wake up Malawi from our deep slumber!!! korororororo!!
I feel disheartened when I hear that JB is living alone abroad without the comfort of her husband. She abandoned her husband in Malawi only to stay abroad? With whom is she staying there? Has she remarried another Mzungu leaving my fellow African let alone my fellow Malawian in the cold? Was it not possible to live in self exile together with the ailing husband? Where is love? Chikondi cha nkhwangwa chokoma pokwera!! Richard Banda was vibrant and energetic when Joyce Banda snatched him from his beloved wife. Now he is a spent force, does he deserve this treatment of being abandoned in the cold. That is Joyce Banda I know. if she managed to snatch somebodys husband, can we trust that she is living alone there without being hammered by a Mzungu. Let us wait and see
Stay there Mama please do not come. You are a wife, mother, gran ma. Moyo sagula. Stay there and be safe. There is hatred anger,envy malice you name it. They thought they were punishing you. You paved way they are in power so what’s the matter now. Mtima mmalo Mai Banda. Just keep praying.
Mama, while I did not enjoy your leadership style during your time, I am very angry that you did not work hard to ensure that thugs in the name of DPP did not return to power. As you can see now the man is clueless,agendaless and pointless. He behaves as though he leave in a 36hr day, very slow. He gives no assurance to the nation that things will ever work. The fact is Peter is the worst leader this nation has ever had. Malawi made a big mistake to vote back these people to power. Evidence was clear how they plundered public money and yet we did not learn. The paladin contract that has not benefited anyone except his late brother and a few bootlickers is one of the evidence how ruthless DPP is. Look at the progress made by TZ, Moz and Zam our neighbors. We Malawians do not seem to understand matters of public development. We like building our pockets than thinking about the poor souls out there.
kaninso mayiwa amaopa imfa? but is she scared of her security or the black police marina? stop talking too and come set your record straight.
If Joyce Banda pronouncements of insecurity is anything to believe and what she says that she is holy like an angel, why can’t she bold enough to come home, engage the very same courts she is scared of to clear her name and after all is done she can go back and continue with her global tours. Is she not aware that as a retired President she has to inform government of her whereabouts for security coverage she is apparently whingeing about? Now all can see that all this nonsense we are seeing daily in the papers is originating from her husband whom she has mentioned that he has written the international community telling them that his wife cannot be safe in Malawi because of insecurity in the country. Well if the recipients of these lies swallow that rubbish then something is not right somewhere. From the look of things Joyce wants to be worshipped and praised even after messing things in Malawi. By the way why should APM get in touch with her if she plays incommunicado by imposing self exile. If she indeed thinks she is just being victimised let come home and enjoy her benefits because as we are we don’t have enough forex to send to her wherever she is hiding. She even talks about the two Mozambican Presidents, why should she bring them into her shameful escapades as if they have anything to do with her. Mentioning them won’t have you declared innocent. All the stories mentioned in her interview are the same lame excuses she has always formulated since grabbing a husband from her closest friend; mind you she has done it twice, lol!! lol!! lol!!!!!!!*%#^!?
Lutepo turns state witness.JB makes her move,build up an asylum case,well your plan is working you are likely to be granted an asylum. Your case has good merits. What a shame from a Head of state to a refugee.well, a rich one though.
Ndale zokhalira kunenana pa malawi,you leaders wont be blessed.capital city yopanda nseu fumbi lokha lokha,koma tili pamavuto simungatengere za kwa america kwanuko olo pang’ono

Atambwari sametana! panoto mwayamba kumetana nokhanokha ife tiripheee kudikira 2019
Living fear of the unknown….shame you are unable to play the game you played on others!!!
Namweso mukiba. You also stole. If you did not, why did you openly say that those that received cashgate money should not be connected. JB you must be serious.
Dr. Joyce Banda is not in your league
1. Her Excellency Dr. Joyce Banda is an entrepreneur, activist, politician, and philanthropist. She served as President of the Republic of Malawi between 2012 and 2014. She was Malawi’s first female President and Africa’s second.
2. Voted as Africa’s most powerful woman by Forbes Magazine for two years running and voted as one of the most powerful women in the world by the influential Time Magazine, Her Excellency Dr. Banda is a champion for the rights of women, children, the disabled, and other marginalized groups.
3. Before becoming President of Malawi, Dr. Banda served as a Member of Parliament; Minister of Gender and Child Welfare; and Foreign Minister and Vice President of the Republic of Malawi. While serving as Minister of Gender and Child Welfare, Dr. Banda championed the enactment of the Prevention of Domestic Violence Bill in 2006, which provides a legal framework for the elimination and preventions of all forms of violence against women and girls.
It’s unfortunate that we have a president who is a great liar,a hater and someone who is governed by envy, why can’t they concentrate on the nation duties than prioritizing on propaganda just to tarnish the image of Dr. Joyce Banda. JB did her part and Malawi faced a new direction under her leadership,but now we are back to zero,leave her alone for once,why can’t you prove yourself on K92 billion/K577 billion. Why do you hate JB like this,I thought this is the time to concentrate on building your relation to a person you rigged election,this won’t take you anywhere.
You did your part mama Joyce Banda, you started helping the poorest in our society but the vultures’ are back sucking blood and not caring for the poor.
Continue staying where ever you want and feel safe. Malawi is a dangerous place to live in with these thugs in power, even the billionaire Nigerian is scared to set foot in.
Nyapala Peter Mutharika even a kid knows. He runs away from his own shadow. He is a disgrace to the continent’s Presidents. The worst president Malawi has ever had, clueless!!!
NDALE ZAKUMALAWI KUPATSA MANYAZI.
Peter wanenetsa kuti 92BN ndi fake ngati iyi alipampando chilungamo sichioneka akamufuse HTD – Mulla -motor gelo
Facing danger in Malawi, my foot! Just come back home and face your music.
Musabwere madam. Anthuwa are thugs. They Will kill you. I for one, advise you not to come here. We want you to be our leader after 2019 elections. Palibe chimene akuchitapo kuno. Angogona Ku state house. Report of cashgates are on the rise now. Malawi is under dead but alive leader. The current report has also been hidden under this dead ibu. Kaya! !!!!!
Okay. You have dished out what is in your heart. So why do some people refuse to accept that you are in ‘self exile’?. If you want a decent home, where do you think that can be placed, in Malawi or all over the globe as you globe-trot? On 92b report, why in one year, 2013-2014 the report says 350b were un-accounted for? Who was the president that time? Are you sure Lutepo gave you 22 cars without you knowing that he was the chief cashgate? Who shot Paul Mphwiyo? You said you knew him. Tangobwerakoni mwaulemu musachite kukwizingidwa kuti mudzaziteteze nokha muchitokosi.
Victimising former presidents, this has to stop forthwith. Zonsezi ndinu atumbuka you led the precedents. Kumunamiza Bingu to victimize Muluzi and now the trend is going on.
Mai Joyce Banda,I am sure you grew up in Malawi. You know very rare in Malawi people talk good of each. Even in offices and villages without exception. The only difference is that politicians talk bad of each through media; radios and newspapers while in the villages it is ear to ear so this is not effective enough. In fact you are able to hear whatever bad things are said here and equally they can reach you physically if DPP people were serious about what they say.
Yes,its advisable to take precautions but I am not in favor of your prolong stay in exile, if may call it.If you are really innocent you could be here and prove your innocence. And if you did not take part in the looting, you can give some clues or tips which you observed while you the president. You claim to have started but you scared to finish the cashgate investigations why??? Stopped where there are your finger prints?
Some times people accuse others while they are ones that need to change.
JB ukufuna kunama chani? Iwe magalimoto unampatsa Lutepo kuti anamize ife anthu kuti wapeleka ngati mphatso aja bwanji? Kumapanga deal ndi ana a size ya ana anu mayi zoona osalela ana bwanji? Ife tinkati kukhala ndi president wachizimayi mwina tisangalala koma aaaa mwina tiyeseno wachinyamata. aaa ndaonela kenya and USA.
Oyipa athawa yekha.zintchito za manja anu.no freedom and peace of mind
Too much talking
we miss you jb.
Ndinu amodzi mikudziwa iyaaa
Childish woman, she thinks Malawi is all about her
Yes there is a problem and a big problem between Joice Banda and the government of Malawi. Obvious JB will remain in exile till 2019. A lot has been said in the above narrated communique. Mama utoopa eti kubwera kuno. Still I am proud of your approach, remain in exile till 2019 to keep out your experience in setting up parallel structures which at times is not good for development.
A Mlahkho a kwa Goliyo onse ndi a mbanda. Sangamkonde JB. I pray in the Name of Jesus, the Living God, to protect our former president JB from these Mlahkho gangstars
Likewise Peter Mutharika has no regrets extending forensic to cover 2013 and 2014. He also wants a comprehensive audit like the one JR wanted. JB just be brave enough after the Lutepo u were keeping at State House as prison, you are the next. You don’t face imminent danger but rather imminent arrest. The time is nigh. The donors will chase you to come back home and face justice
Very foolish, How can the state security openly say that the CCTV at state houses are not functioning? Why did they stop functioning? how come that all the state houses CCTV (Lilongwe and Sanjika) are not functioning? Why are they not repaired? Nthawi zina zinthu zopusa zanuzi musamatiuze ife. Tazingobani ndalama zanuzo.
Seriously amayi the small cashgate during your time I would say mukudziwapo kanthu though it is difficult to directly link you to it. However the other issues you raised are true. Am sure Peter and his DPP are doing a lot to damage you and your security at home cannot be guaranteed. Indeed you have tried as much as possible not to interfere with the running of Malawi since you left office. You have not said anything bad about peter except reacting to what Peter and his DPP are doing and saying about you. I also suggest you keep safe. Only return when you are sure of your safety. No same government/person would say you killed Bingu, no sane government/person would say you wanted to kill Peter while in cells. Peter and DPP just want to divert peoples attention from the many problems in the country which he and DPP are failing to manage. Sad that you have to be treated this way.
So what should we as ordinary Malawians do with these issues? Tell us who is a better devil? Because all of you put self interests first before us and the country starting right from UDF RULE. Let me tell you what we have concluded. Malawi is not poor but is infested with thieves. If this trend continues the country will never advance even if we receive billions in aid from donors. We have no sympathy for any of the the presidents for we suffer because of you.
well understood JB. Stay there for security reasons. Eversince you left we are again slaves in our own land. We are looking for the messiah and that K92billion was just drop in an ocean, there real figure is huge extending K557billion. Our God will fight for us again hopefully. we are going backwards in terms of development
Eeish too long and boribg jb’s tantrums
Ine ndili ndi funso ukuyenda pakameza roundabout akuona galimoto ya police ikuima ungayambe kuthawa ukuziwa kuti sunalakwe?
Just come back and earn what you invested in Malawi during the 2 years
JB you better just stay there do not trust these thangs they want to revenge.
A DPP musiyeni mayi uyu alibe ntchito. Anthu ovota sakumufuna uyu and they expressed it. Oopsa kwa inu ndi Chakwera osati amayi. Amayi is busking in international publicity glory only. Be aware that the more you fight her publicly the more she will use the international media to kill you. She has the international media at her disposal and you unfortunately dont. She is besides a puppet of the west and her foolish white supporters will promote her useless propaganda.
Just stay where u are then, but I don’t think there is anything that can happen to you if you come to malawi, the world is watching. We miss u Here mama….
Where is airplane,maize,etc money Jb?
I think the fight between Joyce Banda and the Muthalikas is personal. Peter Muthalika knows what they are fighting for. And please don’t involve us Malawians. What we want from this man called Muthalika are the following: Food, jobs, fertilizer, opportunities, education, security, to know people who stole K577 billion. And also we want our Malawi savings bank back. We want development, we want change. Whatever Joyce Banda and Peter Muthalika are fighting for is not good for us Malawians.
Mayi Joyce Banda,you won’t be persecuted,return home. If there is need for prosecution,it will be done according to the laws of Malawi. Jodi kukhala kunjako zoona mukuzemba milandu. Come home,face justice
As acitizen ihave heared all what you have said but two of you (peter and joyce) have one common denominator, HEARTLESS THIEVES, unpatriotic vampires always aiming at causing pain and shedding innocent blood. Ask Bingu if he took his riches to Mpumulo of anxieties. YOU WILL PAY AHIGH PRICE on the Judgement day.
This to me sounds like somebody has presented grounds for seeking asylum in some western country here.
A joyce, musatinamize. inu ndi mbuzi yeniyeni ndipo ngati dziko linaonongeka inu ndi one of those people. you are loved by the foreigner and not malawians. how can the whole president complain about opposition riging the elections. thats a sign of even failure to manage your own success. khalani kwaeniko mwina mupeze mamuna wina
It is obvious and plain that Peter Mutharika’s govt hates Joyce Banda. Peter Mutharika is hell bent on victimising Joyce Banda. Chidani chinayamba when Joyce Banda defied the dictator Bingu wa Mutharika on Peter Mutharika taking over as leader of DPP in 2014.
zopusa basi
Kkkkkkk kuthawa cashgate amai, tazibwerani kuno ndikwanu. Ndiye mwasankha kufera moyenda? Anthu akudikira muzanene amene anamuombera mphwiyo. Paja munati mukumuziwa kkkkkkkk, mau awa munanena pamsonkhano waku lunzu ku blantyre.
Wayowoya mwanakazi apo
Mtima wa munthu umaziwika ndi mmene munthuyo amakhalira, ndi mmene munthuyo amachitira zinthu zake osati mau a pa kamwa pake.
Pitala have been saying the opposite of his being.
The olive branch is bitter, in fact it is poisonous.
And come to think of it, there must be something that Joyce knows that Pitala doesn’t want to be revealed, chifukwatu zinayamba kale…Kanengo accident gate.
Ndangodutsamo…
APM ngati ziko lakulepherani please just resign and leave mai Banda alone
malawian politians concentrate on trivial matters which can not bail poor malawian from their poverty. i’m not for Joyce Banda however her assertion that her life is at threat back home can be very TRUE. I don’t think the DPP government can leave stone unturned without implicating the former head of state immediately she steps on the soils of our country
DPP SHOULD FOCUS ON ISSUES CURRENTLY AFFECTING MALAWIANS!
That’s true , tell the JB
okey,tell malawians more,they are all ears,hahaha.
PLIZ MAMA DONT COME HERE AT THIS TIME BECAUSE THIS DPP GVT WILL ELIMINATE THEY WANT U, U R SAFE THERE SO JUST STAY THERE
Amayi chonde mutumizireni Msonda ndi chenji golo ticket ya Monorama muzakhale limodzi Ku Joweni.Chenji golo amafuna kusamwa ndi mafunso pa wailesi.Za Gwengwe ndi mwana wolowelera mutayeni.pano akumakonda kusunzumira Ku makhomo a Mcp building mwina kuti a Chakwera angamupezere chochita.Ndi Msonda yekha walimba pa onsewa.He is a true loyal servant.
God fearing people? God fearing nation?
Mayi Banda you have a choice to live anywhere in the world.Some will miss you,Some will not.That is part of life.The squabbles you have you two gogos sre not taking Malawi anywhere.We are not interested who want to kill who.We need solutions for the problems that have engulfed Malawians.Some speeches by Yasser Arafat of a Gaza Olive and some rusty arab guns has no bearing on the lives of Malawians.If Mutharika is refusing to give a retirement home why cant u just get into one of our own house.On one of your misonkhano you claimed that you were already rich before you became a president that you could pay for 20 women for a trip to US to see some yankees in new york cityand now you are moaning for a retirement home.They are alot of good houses in town built by cashgate money where the tax payer cant rent it for you while you are waiting for a retirement home.For Mutharika to arrest you,we will make sure that he has arrested all the thieves hiding in Dpp for 599 billion.Mutharika deeply knows too that he is also a thief number one and he also inherited the loot of 61 billion from his late brother Daniel Phiri.So where are you hiding those 22 cars you were given by wheelchair bound billionaire friend Lutepo.Kasambara is also waiting with his fangs out to sink on you to testify on Phwiyos case.Come home mama and sort out the issues you left behind than hiding in the mask of global engagements.Are these global really helping Malawians?
This is a true Reaction from Oswarld Lutepo the donor for former President joyce banda confession that indeed money was stolen in government willy nilly …….time ticking tick tock lamba wathina
shame why having fear of unkno wn. Between renovating a house and insecurity which one is the of staying away
koma ndiye kunjako akungosekatu kuti ziri ku Malawi, anthu kuyesetsa kudzikometsera on public wina ati ine ndiwabwino koma uyu wina ati ayi bola ine.
kaya me watching.
