Led by Boniface Massa, chairman of the Association of People Living with Albinism, the light skinned people held prayers and sang hymns at Chaziya Village in Chief Kapelera Village as they seek divine intervention following the sharp increase of the abductions and killings of people with albinism.

Witney Chilumpha was abducted from whilst asleep in late night a month ago and only her clothes, a napkin she wore on the particular day, teeth and skull were discovered in a forest two weeks ago by some women fetching firewood.

Deputy police publicist in Kasungu said late Witney’s father and his accomplice have been arrested in connection with the murder.

The people with albinism asked for divine intervention as the police are failing to curb the vice.

“The murder of this innocent child is part of a deeply disturbing pattern of disappearances and killings of people with albinism in Malawi, where body parts are sold for use in witchcraft,” said Muleya Mwananyanda, Amnesty International’s deputy director for southern Africa.

This country’s leadership is satanic that is why satan is having a free ride. The activities of the citizens mirrors the kind of leadership we have. This could not happen during Kamuzu’s time. The best way is to change the leadership in 2019.

Right approach, this time. The devil is the one doing it. Komabe aboma apereke security yokwanira kwa abale athu with albinism. Asasowe ndalama. Ena chifukwa chaumphawi akumakaphedwera kochita timageni olo kumunda. Pomwe ana asukulu akumaphedwa chifukwa chopita masukulu wambawa opanda chitetezo. Bwanji inu aboma muwapezere masukulu abwino ana amenewa nkumawalipilira nkumawateteza? Izinso ndizovuta? Atetezeni abale athu amenewa, osangowopseza mpakamwa kuti mudzawalanga ngati kuti ndinu amene mumaweruza milandu. Kumakhothi kuli anthu ena. Kupolisi nako kuli anthu ena. Actions speak louder than words.
