Malawi army soldiers beat up violent DPP cadets

July 19, 2019 Owen Khamula - Nyasa Times 117 Comments

Some ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) notorious cadets had a shock of their lives on Friday in Blantyre when Malawi Defence Force (MDF) soldiers beat them up for attempting to foil the civil society organisations sanctioned peaceful protests in the commercial city.

The DPP cadets had arrived at Kamuzu Upper Stadium earlier, sending back would be protesters and beating up some of them.

The police, who were assigned to protect the protesters, just looked helplessly.

A Zodiak reporter in Blantyre said the cadets even told the privately owned media crew to leave the place, accusing it of bias towards the opposition.

However, things changed when Malawi Defence Force  soldiers turned up, beating up the cadets, roughing them up, leaving most of them with blood oozing from nose and mouth.

Some of them had sustained injuries and had their clothes torn as they struggled with the MDF soldiers who wanted the protests to go on.

Earlier, the High Court in Blantyre granted Human Rights Defenders Coalition (HRDC) an injunction to allow the protesters march peacefully in the city.

Blantyre City Council had denied permission the protesters from marching in the streets.

The council said the Human Rights Defenders Coalition had not paid a K9.5 million bill for damaged property the previous demos, the counsel was holding a mayoral and deputy mayoral elections, among others.

  1. I hope these boys don’t have children attending school. I can feel the moral pain they have inflicted on the kids. The whole school knowing and calling ana a makadeti omenyedwa heavy ndi asilikali. May be their are in foregn lands.

  2. Bravo MDF for the job well done. Shame on you police people who are sididng with the cadets. Malawi is blessed to have a professional ARMY. My request to the soldiers; next time also beat up those who are sending them.. Thes cadets foolishly think Malawi is their estate.

  3. Why not beat too those who are rooting , burning and destroying property. Has they resumed the work of MYp which terrorised innocent lives. The army commander should discipline his boys. The eyes of the LORD God are watching.

    1. Of course the ones who have been whipped are the ones who have been breaking and stealing.. Can’t you see that?

    2. Dont mention za God here you idiot!!!! Dont mention the name of God in vain. These cadets deserved the beating. Akanawathyola miyendo or kungowapheratu kumene nonsense

  6. Good job Mdf. Bt city since when organisers pay damages? Why did muli get tax payers money? Keep on beating them. Mdf is unlike corrupt police officers.

Amenewo ndiye mademo .Musazayerekeze kuvala chimanga chanucho nkumayenda nacho ku Capital , tizingokuswani basi , muziwanso.

  12. When DPP were conducting victory parade were they stopped by opposition youth? I think the soldiers were right to beat these brutes up. Similarly if MCP youth tries to stop victory parade in Lilongwe MDF should also beat them up. It is not good to stop others celebrating or protesting.

  13. The cadets should be schooled that conducting demonistration is unirversal constitutional right,and no one. Including the cadets themselves can stop it. The best way cadets. cadets can do to stop the demonustra is to go to Ansah and plead with her to resign, otherwise the demos are unstoppable.

  14. MA CADET AWA AKUFUNA KUSOWETSA MTENDERE NGATI M’MENE AMAPANGIRA A MYP. PANO TIKUFUNA AMENE AMADZIWA CADET WINA ALIYENSE ALEMBE DZINA LA CADETYO NDIKUMENE AMAKHALA. TiKUFUNA .TIZIKAWAPEZA MUMAKOMO MWAWO

  15. Amzathu a mdf tayamba kudabwa nanu. Mukuoneka kuti mbali inayi simukuiona. A mcp, utm ndi hrdc akamaononga katundu simukwamenya kapena kuwamanga bwanji? Ngati mukuona kuti a dpp akuphwanya lamulo muziwamanga not kuwamenya otherwise mukuyamba kuoneka very brutal only to the suspected dpp cadets. Let mcp, utm and hrdc cadets be bitten by you mdf whenever they are on the wrong side of the law.

    1. Akufuna boma lopusali lichoke atopa nawo manyiwa.They are tired of this Shit of Government.

  17. kuongola mtendo udakali waung’ono. Izi mukusekerera just because MDF assaulted ur enemies mawa ndinu ku football match. Under no circumstances should MDF personnel be allowed to assault people. Umbuli utipweteketsa

    1. DPP people think they can do anything without consequences. Inuyo mumasekerera anthu akamabera chisankho; ndinso ma cadet akamamenya innocent protesters. These thugs were beating up people and undressing women in full view of the police. Last time the soldiers just caught them; but because they didn’t learn their lesson, they were roughed up this time. An adult needs to know that actions have consequences…

    4. Khala ndi ubongo wako wamaminawo palibe chomwe ukudziwa mphaka iwe!!.Dziko silaamanu Kapena mutharika akukutumayo. Muzingomenyedwa abakha inu FUCK!!!!…

    5. In the same way, under no circumstances should party zealots take themselves above the law and beat up peaceful protesters whose rights to assembly are guaranteed in the Republican Constitution. Moreover a polisi nkumaonelela. For your information, by the way, the rules of engagement for the police and the MDF are not the same. Soldiers are not for internal security. It is because the internal security apparatus has failed that the soldiers have come in — with their own rules of engagement. Si mesa ndi zomwe mukufuna?

    6. tell these idiots apa, palibe chifukwa chomenyera anthu apa?? asilikali amamenya munthu chifukwa chovala yunifomu ya usilikali ndi abulutu awa. ASILIKALI ALIBE UFULU OMENYA MUNTHU. Too much ignorance ku malawi

      1. Iwe ndiye mamina yeniyeni.Akutibulani kumene amphaka inu.Mukuona ngati dzikoli ndi la amanu inu a DPP??.Next Tuesday tikukalowano kumene mutharika amakhala munya muona.😉😉 mbuzi!..

    7. if the cadets had stayed home and let the protesters exercise their right to protest sakanakanthidwa ndi MDF

    8. right now u r excited because u r operating on emotions but believe you me no soldiers should assault citizens whether wa dpp or mcp or utm. they need to show that they respect the security machinery. you don’t right a wrong by doing another wrong. if security deteorates amnzanu mukuwatsatawo adzakwera ndege nkukusiyani inu mukuphana . MDF mukuidalirayo itatembeneka. follow the Sudan story. ndilibe mbali ine koma just trying to open ur eyes which seem to be shut. U r forgetting kudzakhala mawa

  18. Idiot ndiwe aNNSA ndi ma cadet anzako. U think you could fool the people. Never again. Mwauponda

    1. peoples army yakuti, anthu otelenu amakhala munthu wankuru okhala ndi ana ake, komano bulutu, utsi palinso chonenera bravo apa??? “fool the people” which people are you talking about??? abulutu okhaokha chilipo chanzeru chimene anthu onsewa akuyankhula?? kuyambira a chilima abuutu okhaokha

  20. You can fool some people sometimes but not always / not everybody !!The truth here is not about tribes /gender /religion /region /colour /education /colour NO NO NO !

  21. Most soldiers in Malawi are idiots, komano amachokera amongst us and ma soldierwa ku malawi ndi amphawi komanso amalakalaka atapita ku nkhondo, vuto lina amalawife we for granted ufulu umene tili nawo mpakana kumakaphwanya zinthu za anthu ena, kufuna kuyambitsa ziwawa mpakana atsogoleri kumatchula za magazi MCHIBWANA CHACHIKULU

    2. And so is you who thinks the soldiers are doing a bad thing beating up DPP cadets who were roughing up innocent people.

      1. alibe ufulu omenya anthu, mpakana akumamenya apolisi anthu MDF ndi zitsiru a malawi ena opusa akawachemelera basi?? We need to change our mentality a Malawi

        1. Bravo MDF. Go first change mentality ya nyani wako ukuti president Pitala Maliseche. Zoona chimunthu chikulukulu kuchitchula kuti ndi Maliseche chili kuchikamwa wiyuuuu kusekelera ndi dzino lake limodzi lija. Chi mkononso chopuwala hahahaha MDF beat the shit out of the bastards. Chikamabisala pakati pa akasinja we will shoot him in the head, chamba eti.

    4.

    6. mwayiwala kale operation bwezani kapena munali musanabadwe MDF ndi kawawawa musawatokose dala ndi mwano umenewu

  22. Right now I cannot applaude MDF because the day the supreme court rule on the matter of election—-most Malawians will not accept the verdict. They will take their frustration to the streets and the MDF will start killing them. Peter Hitler Mutharika has already planned it.You mark my words. The supreme court has already been compromised and there will never be justice. The tribal regime of the Lomwe has started to unleash terror on unarmed innocent Malawians. In Blantyre is a NO go zone for other political parties because of the militia of the DPP who have been unleashed to terrorize others. The DPP cadets can be compared to Interhangwe of the Hutus—-slaughtering none Hutus. Malawi will be another Rwanda. Fight this tribal regime of Peter Hitler Mutharika that has stolen your votes with tippex. Alluta continuaaaaaaaaa!

    1. man, sizosankhana mitunduzo, kuti mupite kumeneko aliyense amadziwa kuti anthu oyipa mitima ku malawi ndi Atumbuka, quota inabwera chifukwa cha iwo, amene anayamba zomasankha ndi atumbuka, KAMUZU ANAONA VUTO NDI ATUMBUKA, MULUZI ANAONA VUTO NDI ATUMBUKA, MUTHALIKA ANAONA VUTO NDI ATUMBUKA amayi aja inali ngozi chabe kuti anali president, PULEZIDENTI OBWERA WINA ALIYENSE MTSOGOLO AZAPEZA ATUMBUKA KUTI ALI NDI VUTO. Anthu amadera enawa amatha kukhala bwino bwino komano pakabwera Mtumbuka zinthu zaonongeka, people from the other regions know. STRENGTH YA ATUMBUKA NDI MAPHUNZIRO NKONA KUNABWERA QUOTA. ndiye dont go there kosankhana mitundu

      2. Kuyankhula Kwa munthu opanda nzeru you.. stupidity at its best…. No wonder most of u lomwez are garden Boiz and anaphiriz in the same atumbuka oipa mtimawo as well as beggars on the streets… Can’t u question urselves? Nde simunatitu, quota or no quota we still soaring and achieving greatness. Do u think if Malawi is divided today mukhala anthu inu? Muzafa ndi umbuli wanu womwewo ndithu…

      3. Ine ndi WA ku Ntcheu koma I never thought of this kind of foolish and stupid statement before, simungasunge mtundu wa anthu inu muoneka osakhwima mzeru, Malawians are all the same, don’t be too imotional ndi Andale izi tizazisiya bwanawe

      4. Historically, blame it on the colonialists who owned estates. In some areas they never wanted schools in their vicinity to carter for Africans. They disturbed their sources of cheap labour. In some areas Africans were suspicious of schools. They thought they were established to dilute their culture. In the north, such issues never occurred. Northerners pursued education in mission schools with ease and Europeans in turn recruited them to work alongside them in colonial offices by virtue of their capacity to read and write. Ever wondered that most village heads in the north are able to read and write in English?

        By the time other tribes realised how important education is, northern Malawians were ahead of them. Current policies are trying to improve that situation but the problem is that in some cultures up to now do not value education. They would rather send children to initiation camps while other children are learning in classes.

        The quota system you alluded to is in part contributing to mediocrity. Look at calibre of students being picked up to pursue university education just because there is need to check the imbalance among regions. Besides, it is a source of conflict as noted between those in support and those opposing it. However, reading your post, you seem to have got fired up with hatred against northern Malawians. If indeed Malawi has people like you, then, there is potential danger.to national unity. Adolf Hitler hated Jews, and what happened to the Jews? Think about it. Remove that inequity in your hands.

  26. promote more commanders they will still act professionally cause they understand the UN and the ICC doest smile at crimes against humanity even peter can protect them. KKKK Rules of engagement!

  27. Arafat Hamdan…what can you say about the Cadets being kicked by the Army? Hehehehe..,ma Cadet chaka chake ndi chino!!!Mumadutsa mbali…!! Army ilibe mbali, simaopa ma Cadet!!!a

  29. Kudos MDF! God be with MDF for doing what they are here for and a job professionally done!! These cadets have sinister intentions and its good you’re curbing the same in the bud……………………………………!!

  30. ARMY SOLDIERS MUST PAID HIGHER SALARIES FOR DOUBLE SERVICES EVOLVED ,THE MALAWI POLICE GIVE THEM K100000.00 BEFORE TAXATION. AND ALSO GIVE MDF LOANS TO BUY HOUSES OF THEIR CHOICE.

  46. As I write there are two MCP supporters on remand in Zomba for insulting someone yet these two cadets will not be arrested, questioned etc because they have blue blood.

  49. Mufera zaeni, anzanu achina ben phiri, nankhumwa, dausi……etc ali pheee kudya money zakuba.

    Choncho mkumati bambo ake aujeni awa atibulidwa zaziiii. Inu nzitsiru kwambiri, ndipo mukapeza akazi anu atanyengedwa ndi a dpp anzanu

    Ana ndi azibale anu azavutika inu mtapwetekedwa chifukwa cha Mchacha ndi Dausi.

    1. Yes, these British and American trained service men know how to safeguard peace in Malawi. Those with intent to cause trouble as if they are in Goma or KIvu will face the music. If I were a DPP cadet, I would not have dared to assault those peaceful demonstrators. I would have gone to a garden to make ridges in readiness of the planting season which is just a few months away. Not partaking in crime of beating peaceful demonstrators.

    2. My plea is that next time ask them who sends there Or Please our Excellent Army beat Mchacha and Dausi kuti atenge po lesson

  54. mwazionatu…….kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk…………..aziswa..kkkkkkkkkk…..anymata mukufera zaeni inu…………pezani zochita ndale ndikanyama koipa mphwanga

  59. Thumbs up General Nundwe!!! I am feeling this new Army General really has Malawian’s concerns at heart. Some people in this world were born to honestly help people and this Army General is one of them, No stupid gimmicks ,standing for truth, no fear of loosing his position,respecting human rights and justice ,Well done big man GO GO GO Malawians Wake up and lets do Zimbabwe with our combat men

  66. DPP cadets seem to be daft – they can’t learn from past mistakes! Heads full of sawdust! Pepani ana Adadi, mphoto yakufuntha ndi imeneyo!

    3. So we are celebrating that our army is strong? Shaa koma umbuli sudzatha ndithu.One of the core duties of men in unformis to protect the same citizens they rough wounding, just because the wounding is done by soldiers then it is justifiable, shame

      1. Iwe you wanted the Army to look the other way while the rights of people to demosntrate are being violated by cadets????if we had police in malawi this was their responsibility….
