JZU Tembo tells MEC chair to step down: ‘Save Malawi from bloodshed’
Former Malawi Congress Party (MCP) strongman John Tembo has given a rare media interview, telling embattled Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) Jane Ansah to resign voluntarily to save Malawi from destruction and bloodshed.
Ansah has been facing calls for her to resign for allegedly compromising herself and mismanaging the May 21 Tripartite Elections and purportedly favouring President Peter Mutharika.
Ansah, a judge of the Malawi Supreme Court of Appeal, rejected any calls for her to resign on principle, saying she will wait for the court’s judgement on the matter to decide whether to call it quits.
But Tembo said she must step down.
“She is not the only one who can do that job. She better resign,” said Tembo.
He adds many voices both political and apolitical who are calling for the resignation of Ansah for presiding over an election marred with irregularities and vote result rigging.
Tembo said it was not good that people should be dying, property destroyed all because of one person.
He said there are many professionals who can ably handle her position.
In a speech monitored on taxpayer-funded Malawi Broadcasting Corporation Television on Wednesday, President Peter Mutharika observed that demonstrations, mainly organised and led by Human Rights Defenders Coalition (HRDC) to force Ansah to resign, have often turned violent, creating an atmosphere of lawlessness and anarchy in the country.
“All this is happening because some irresponsible opposition people who lost in the elections are creating anarchy in this country and they better stop. I will not allow them to turn this country into a jungle. Whoever is breaking the law will one day answer for it. I promise that,” said Mutharika.
Mutharika said this when he presided over the launch of the 2019/20 National Forestry Season at Nkando in Mulanje.

TEMBO,NO MATTER WHAT? VERY SOON YOU WILL JOIN YOUR MASTER HASTINGS BANDA IN HELL.YOU BLOOD SUCKER TIME HAS COME TO TRAVEL LONG AND FEARFUL JOURNEY AND YOU WILL NEVER COME BACK TO ENJOY OUR CHAMBO,YOU KILLER.
One of real reasons why Malawi is behind today is because of this idiots greed! Go to hell!..
Kodi mkuluyi adakalipo? Who is he to day this nonsense He lives in history!
It doesn’t matter whether John Tembo killed people,or he didn’t resign from numerous positions,what matters at his age is his relationship with GOD,
What’s your relationship with GOD,
Remember the thief on the cross?
He recieved his SALVATION right at the end .
Inu mukuweruza anzanunu mudzaupeza mwayi ngati umenewu?
Mr Tembo has been blessed with long life to realize what he did wrong and make it right with GOD.
Read the bible.
JESUS is coming soon,
Very wise comment. I admire you.
John tembo mufa liti , mwakhalitsa padziko
Who will cause bloodshed, This is a war cry from MCP, Chimwendo also said similar statements in Dowa.
Ansa can not resign because of MCP and Satanic HRDC led by a wizard from Chitipa called Mtambo. Ansa is not a politician, she is a qualified Lawyer, she may vacate the position once the verdict of the Court is out full stop not at ransom from MCP.
When the Court will produce the verdict, the Law enforcers will be ready for you, Army, Police and any other law enforcing agency. dont think that our security organisations are weak, they were just giving the rights to the people who wanted the Court to determine, so dont be mistaken. If you will ever try, the Military will have the mandate to deal with you and some of you will regret the day you were born. This warning is for all the Parties DPP, MCP UDF AFORD AND UTM. Malawi is more than anybody and your individual interests will be rejected by sensible Malawians.
John Tembo must be the last person to say these words, he must reconcile himself with GOD for the many people he is alleged to have mudered.
Actually alhomwe akubanu you should be VERY AFRAID! Kubwenzera kulipo and nkosayamba. Very long jail terms! You reap exactly what you sow! Inu mumaganiza kuti mudzitizunza chonchi mpakana liti? You can say all you want about JZU but the status quo WILL NOT change! Mulipo ochepa and mwatha apapa!!! The clever ones among you have already started realigning. Moyo ndi pelete!!
Chitsiru chokumba mtundu. JZU does not provide reason for Ansah’s stepping aside. The old dog is tired and can’t think. Why take his uninformed word?
CONGRESS MITU SIKUGWIRA. ALIYENSE WA CONGRESS ANGOKAMBA ZA MAGAZI BASI ANTHU ANKHANZA INU KWANU KUDATHA MIX.
Mwadya ma albino angati inu a dpp tembo wadzuka kodi?
John tembo, was board chairman of 13 parastastals and never resigned due to his greed and sense of entitlement. He became first native minister of finance after eliminating dunduzu chisiza who was more qualified and reserved for the post. He stole the post of translator for kamuzu from John msonthi yet tembo was already serving as cabinet minister. Both chisiza and msonthi disappeared mysteriously. Now tembo is educating Malawians about resignation..?
Shame on Tembo
That was the past now he is talking about the present because he learnt a lesson.Remember,exprience is a good teacher.
Not that easy. Some of us lost our family members. It never was easy. Very easy to say ” it’s the past” because you never lived it. what happened in the past for some of us changed the future.
Hahahahaha John tembo is a big crook, he’s a silent manipulator. Amapanga zinthu iyeyo nkusadziwika chinthu wapanga ndiyeyo. In fact he’s a criminal.. ‘bakili mukuzi’. Should we assume tembo he’s the brains behind anti assah violence?..
Bakili is also a big thief and crook
True changed man.
Someone lost the election. Someone won. In life it does not matter how you win. A win is a win. Next time make sure YOU win.
Good point
Iwe Malume, so you want Jane Ansah not to resign just because John Tembo did not resign? Are we going backwards or forwards? Do you realise the wind of change is blowing everywhere? You are still living in the past!
Yes we dont want Ansah to resign, no matter in what days we are living. Tembo is not good example
Kodi pitala basi adzingoyenda ku mulanje thyolo Blantyre mangochi zomba phalombe nkhumakayankhula zopusazakezi adziwetu kuti ife sitikumuopa zonsezi ndi iyeyo bwezaniko ku mzuzu bwana ku mzimba rumphi ndikumangani mudakayenda chothamanga msonkhano osapangisa pitaniko ku Karonga nkhatabay ngatidi munawina ufumuwo za Jane Ansah tippex madando izo munya zaka zachulukatu izi five a malawi
Tembo, how many people did you kill? I am sure that you are a happy person because your killing spirit is still active through Chakwela. To continue your killing spirit, you had to choose Chakwela, someone with the same spirit like you. Despite Chakwela being a pastor but you spiritually new about each other that is why of all old and dedicated members of MCP, the bloodshed spirit was not there and you had to choose a person with a spirit like you, shame!! If you are still alive just repent Mr Tembo and also advise your fellow bloodshed agent Chakwela to repent. God is ready to forgive you. Chakwela knows because he was using the Bible to preach. He is a loving God.
Mwina ulendo uno “amva” poti ayankhula ndi Baba Tembo, o’kulu o’nzawo.
Mmmm nkhani iyiyi tikambe lero when the court ruling is just around the corner. Mmmm this is a lagged response to the political situation. Hahaha unless the camp is looking for a fresh impetuous to start demonstrations again against Ansah. But we know we are past that.
Kodi a Tembo zoti ndale zamagazi zidatha kalekale sakudziwa? Tonsefe tikufuna Jane atule udindo koma osati zamagazi zanuzo ayi baba. Tamangopumani zomwe munkapanga kale zija zidapita ndi Kamuzu
Of all things at least you have come to senses now JZU Tembo.That is what we call a true changed man.
Baba Tembo, why were you not resigning yourself during the 31 year rule. You were not the only ones to do the job.
I presume the people of Dedza still wanted baba in Parliament all those years. They were voting him in. “…of the people, for the people, by the people, ..Not by the tippex.
During those 31years people of dedza never voted
