Lilongwe City Council staff chase director out of office, deflate his car tyres

Armed police were called in to bring peace at Lilongwe City Council offices in the Capital after staff literally chased one of the directors from his office and deflated his car tyres.

Director of Engineering Julius Tsogolani was escorted by police from the office to his home and abandoned his car at the office as the irate workers had deflated its tyres.

The staff went on rampage and abandoned their work to force Tsogolani and director of Finance Jeremiah Sibande out of the council.

Sibande did not report for duties on Monday when the incident happened.

The staff said they will continue with the strike until the council fires Tsogolani and Sibande whom they accuse of gross maladministration and mismanagement saying they do not have the welfare of other workers especially junior staff at heart.

The two deny the allegations.
