Lilongwe vendors want to march to Mtambo’s residence August 6
Lilongwe City markets vendors have informed Lilongwe City Council (LCC) that they intend to march to Human Rights Defenders Coalition (HRDC) chairperson Timothy Mtambo on August 6.
Ironically, August 6 is the date when HRDC has mobilized a ‘one million’ strong protest march in each of the three major cities in a bid to force Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) chairperson Jane Ansah to step down.
The letter, dated May 31 accuses Mtambo of continually organizing protests which they say are negatively affecting their businesses.
“The protests are leading to violence, looting and damage of property which affect us, too,” says the letter in part.
The vendors said the demonstrations have negatively affected their businesses as customers are scared to make it to their trading places, thereby denying them revenue.
The so called vendors are accusing Mtambo of reaping from the protests, saying donors are giving him huge sums of money for organizing the protests.
Tension has engulfed the country since May 27 when Ansah declared President Peter Mutharika of Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) as winner of the presidential race with 1 940 709 votes representing 38.57 percent. He was followed by Malawi Congress Party (MCP) president Lazarus Chakwera with 1 781 740 votes representing 35.41 percent with the country’s immediate past vice-president Saulos Chilima of UTM Party finishing third and ahead of four other aspirants with 1 018 369 votes representing 20.24 percent.
Chilima and Chakwera have since filed a petition seeking nullification of the presidential election results in the May 21 Tripartite Elections on the basis that there were irregularities, especially in the result management system.
HRDC has been holding a series of nationwide protests to force Ansah and her commissioners to resign for allegedly presiding over a flawed electoral process.
Osaopa akakumana ndi osaopa!!!
Kaukonde, I also know of the donors who have given the vendors money!
Tulo basi bag of maize now is K10,000 by Dec will be K15,000
PAJA ANA A DADA LILONGWE INAWAKULIRA MATSIKU ANO NDE AKUFUNA ANAMIZILE KUTI NDI MA VENDORS
Tiyeni nazoni ma vendor. Tikutibulani osati pangono. Mbuli zenizeni.
I know of the donors who have given Mtambo money.
These are desperate times for DPP. The problem is that they underestimated Malawians. Malawians have woken up and will not be taken for granted anymore. These desperate actions aimed at defeating the will of the people will not work and are very embarrassing to see. Give the masses their wish. After all, there is no way Jane Ansah will ever be allowed to organise elections in this country. Peter knows the fall of Jane is his fall and that is why he had told her not to resign. Instead of calling people who are fighting for change in the country greedy, it is Peter because he is doing all this to the country for his own political gains. No other explanation fits.
These are idiots who were selling plastic bags, now because the court has ruled no plastic, they don’t have anything to sell. Foolish.
TIKUMANA PA 6 POPO MA DPP CADETS INU….
Timothy Mtambo and his friends are not doing this on their own, but 62% + of Malawians are doing the demos.Timothy and his friends are just mouth pieces of the 62% + Malawians. The cause of all this is THEFT.{ RIGGING of VOTES WHICH IS VERY CLEAR} by someone.The Tippex, some monitors of other parties kunyanyala kusainilla ma form chifukwa choti ena achita zinthu zofuna okha, someone was red handed caught in Nsanje marking some Ballot Papers of 20 Polling Stations, which Jane Ansah said that; we heard that someone was doctoring some figures on Ballot Papers in Nsanje,but when we sent our team, we found that it was not true,but the man was caught and put in prison with the marked ballot papers.This was the PLAIN TRUTH with STRONG EVIDENCE yomwe idasowetsedwa.We heard that this caprit died in prison.Kwa Goliati Polling Centre; registered voters; 5 thousand and something,those who voted,11 thousand and something,kodi ma monitor onse angakhale osapenya bwino ma figures wo pomwe Jane ankanena kuti, tinatumiza anthu athu akapeza kuti sizoona.MAYANKHO AMENEWA AMATIKWANA . TIMANYANSIDWA NAWO KWAMBIRI. Some MEC members are dying suspicious deahths. Don’t burry the truth in this way please.Fear God not people. Those who have GENUINE SPIRITUAL EYES AND EARS ARE ABLE TO SEE THE PLAIN TRUTH on this matter that elections were NOT FAIR.During the day when we casted the votes, it seemed that it was free and fair. But come night, some norcturnals went there and exchanged the ballot boxes and tempered with some papers. Usiku mbavazi zimaugwiritsa ntchito ngati zimenezi. WAKE UP MALAWIIIII! TIGONA TULO MPAKA LITI? Go back to History, office ija idaotchedwa ku Lilongwe atafuna kuwerenganso mavoti,kunali kubisa choipa. MALAWI SATUKUKA CHIFUKWA CHA ANDALE,KUPANDA CHIKONDI. NGATI ZIPITILIRE CHONCHI, ndiye tikabaguba.Timalipiro ta a bale athu a phunzitsi ndi ena ambiri tikadali pansi.Akulephera kutigulirako ndi Kafeteleza.Adasiya kalekale, koma kalero, ankatigulira. Those businesses which you are saying, are not picking up. Pompaja pakale. Ma demowa zawoneka zachilendo kuno kwathu,poti tinazolowera a 2 days basi.Inutu {vendors of Lilongwe} munatumidwa zikuwonekeratu.Komatu uku ndikufuna chisokonezo.Inu ma vendor nu you pretty know that on that date kuli ma demo, then nanunso on the very date mukutinso izo, kaya.But also,KNOW THAT IT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE KUPITA KU NYUMBA YA ACTIVIST NDIKUKACHITA CHIONETSERO AYI, ACTIVIST NDI WOTITSOGOLERA KAPENA KUTIYANKHULIRA CHABE. KOMANSO MUDZIWE KUTI; WITH OR WITHOUT ACTIVISTS, WE WILL STILL DEMONSTRATE.
You are a liar. You are entitled to your opinion. The truth of the matter is that Mtambo is the mouth piece of his own stomach and not 62% of Malawians.
Pa ujeni pako…..
Are they vendors or DPP Cadets???? Now they’re looking for something else. But DPP operatives dont think a bit, they think that these tactics will make things right??? It cant be.

But who were the first ones to propose demonstrations for this day, shame on you DPP devils, Jane Ansah is also a devil who needs to repent and resign.
I surely bealieve that you are a seriouse Devil on this world more that Lusifer looking by your comment. Please stop this.
