Malawi govt bans pro-federalism demos: Karonga residents to defy ban
Government authorities in Malawi’s northern district have denounced the planned demonstrations in favour of introduction of federal system of government as a plot against the state and accused the organisers of preparing for violence.
Tutulane Palikimo Business Association and Karonga Youth for Justice and Development submitted a letter to the DC on Friday asking the authorities to give them permission to hold the pro-federism demonstrations.
In a one page petition signed by Steve Simsokwe, Jalako Mwenefumbo and Happy Gondwe addressed to the District Commissioner and the Officer in Charge of Police, the youth are among other issues demanding government to switch to federal system of government or autonomy for the northern religion, stop quota system of selection of students to public universities, equal distribution of resources and that Karonga should become a municipality.

Karonga District Commissioner Rosemary Moyo has downplayed the content of the petition saying the reasons given do not guarantee a demonstration and that the youths are just “being forced to do so.”
“I can see that these so called associations are acting out of ignorance and they don’t know what it takes for people to do demonstrations, as a commissioner of the district I am telling you now that the demonstrations will not take place in Karonga,” said Moyo.
Moyo said everything which is in the petition has already been addressed.
“The other thing is that everything which is in their so called petition has already been addressed. On the issue of federism, chiefs said are not in support of that.
“Talk of quota system government has said that new university is coming in the north. On equal distribution of resource they have not indicated which resources they want to be distributed equally which is a clearly assurance that the people responsible don’t know what they are doing and have just been forced to do so,” said Moyo.
Human rights activists in the district from Centre for Human Rights and Rehabilitation (CHRR) Grecian Mbewe said the “gives us a right to conduct demonstration in our country but with valid reasons and in the right channel.”
Karonga Business Community chairperson Wavisanga Silungwe said there are many ways of expressing the desire of federism apart from demos.
District Officer in Charge of Police Foster Mangani warned to arrest anyone who will bring violence in the district.
“As security people our duty is to take care the well being of people in the district and to protect their properties so if anyone will or is trying to start violence in the district the law will be in charge without seeing who is who. Everything has the right procedure with valid reasons not just from the dreams,” said Mangani.
The demonstrations have been slated for 28 September.

Banning Federalism is not the answer – what has the government done for the many students left to fend for themselves after being marginalized through the Quota system? No help has been given to poor students whose poor parents struggled to earn little money and sent their kids to school to break the cycle of poverty. The government of Malawi says no hope for you northerner, none as long pregnant men (bellies so big due to gluttony) whose brain went south, filing up everything below the neck, are leading the country.
Learn from South Africa, a call for fairness by Nelson Mandela, Biko, and the like was not anti-fair government. The Malawi government has just admitted it is doing something bad promoting the quota system. Why is it called the quota system anyway? This is subjugation. The government is systematically telling northerners that they don’t belong, are not qualified enough to go to Secondary School or University, because they focused on their studies and did great on exams.
Well, do you know Biko, Steve Biko? Maybe you know this song then, an excerpt…
“You can blow out the candle
But you can’t blow out the fire
Once the flames begin to catch
The wind will blow it higher
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Yihla Moja, Yihla Moja
-The man is dead
And the eyes of the world are
watching now
watching now “
what is wrong with federal govt? Perpetrators of injustice will want this scenario to continue. Those who have eyes and brains will not object this great idea unless one is contented and enjoys the spirit of selfishness, self centredness and inconsiderate. Look at the north: not public technical college or a decent structure. Mzuni just by name in terms of structure. May be Muluzi could have been given third term. At least without him we would only be talking of Karonga-Chitipa road. From their hearts they know that the north is really marginalised. No one will fight for you northers. Get up otherwise will be losers for ever. Freedom does not come on silver platter.
kkkkkk mbuli zilipo zambili bwanji Federalism sikugawa dziko go to the books. the problem is omwe amayamba kutanthawuzila ndi mbuli thats why in Malawi zanbili anthu akumudzi amanva Molakwika. it just gives the country equal opportunities and equal distribution of worth. That is what is working in the USA now where all the states has Governors. and is working very well.
Mmalawi ndi Mmalawi, ena achalila kukaphwanya okala ya wina wake osauka ngati uyo. Nde asekelele zimenezo ndani? Ndi Demo iti inapangikako osaswa sitolo za anthu oti sizikuwakhuza, are they not malawians that needs protection?
Go to your north, rule it by yourselves, palibe atakulilireni, ndipo tikhala pa chi mtendere cha zaoneni. Start vacating today pliz from our regions via north. Kamuzu paja already said……aliyense azikagwira ntchito kwawo…….you cried and cried. Go. go, go, go, go, go, go. Let peace prevail in our 2 regions.
Do these stories get edited? What kind of a reporter writes such broken english? Sad
Pala mwasowa nkhani start another busnes not using your cashgate to stage war.
We are also ready for demostration despite being in the ruling party.
We want ouq part thur all.carry on guys from karonga you are not alone ra ther we are many
These are the women I want. I will promote her to be the CEO of Lilongwe City Assembly. I will send my deputy to romance her
fine , lets share the country and see who will suffer, don’t just say things out of masachets influence , if we try to look analyse the issue critically u find that we have lot of northerners in the in central and southern region and some they have belt mansions if the need development why cant the develop in their region
We will join yu guys. Enough z enough!!!!!
I would like to educate the Officer in Charge of Karonga Police that Demonstrations do not mean violence. Of course if anyone becomes violent, then, and only then, can the police arrest such persons.
To my brothers and sisters of Karonga, be assured that the Malawi Republican Constitution guarantees you the right to demonstrate, but show some civilisation by not engaging in violence since demonstrating does not mean breaking other peoples or Government property let alone beating up anybody. Shame the Police and the Government by not being violent.
in these modern days ,it is very dangerous to take people for granted. If the people from the south think they are clever, time has come to show them that their time Is slowly coming to an end. We shed blood during john chilembwe, another blood in 1969, another blood in 1993,another blood in 2011and we are ready for more blood until the north is completely free. If you ignore this call, you will only do so at your own foolishness. You can rig elections but you cant steal peoples bravery. Believe it the end of this will not be a comedy, its a real thing and its gaining momentum as of now. Watch out we have come for real change, and we will not retreat until we get it.
Fellow Malawians, I agree with those saying a few individuals are there for their own greediness.Aren’t the northerners all over in the central and southern region? Are they not all over in the offices? These guys want everything good to belong to them. Remember those who will be affected will have nothing to do with your greediness. And don’t bring war to Malawi. We need our peace. Who is it that have given you funds to start dividing the nation – for their own benefits. Tamvatu kuti mukufuna kugulitsa nyanja yathu the northern side. Is that the development you are talking about for your children. Wake up and don’t be selfish. You will only regret it latter.
let us not leave Karonga alone but we have to support these guys. If Central and North can join forces here am sure this government will even fall. we are tired of these Lhomwe idiots.
So people of Karonga want us in Malawi to share equally?? Fine; we will start with Kayerekera Mine. We want all the money that Khumbo took and Kyungu got from Kayerekera equally shared to all the people in the country. Secondly, the cash-gate money that Kasambara, Richard Banda rt. justice, Khumbo, JB also shared equally. People from the north as mentioned above looted in the cash – gate more than any of the two regions. So we must share that money equally as well.
Are people from Karonga ready to share Kayerekera equally???????
And what about the 92bn? You also stole the money from kayekela without the people of kAronga benefitting!!! Did your dpp share with the rest of the country?
NYAMOYO PALA WLYA ZA DPP PAMOZA NA FUMU IYO MUTIMUFWILENGE MUCHIVWATI WANAGA NDI MUNYAKHE
After Karonga the next to stage federalism demos will be the entire Central region districts, just wait and see.
They just don’t know what they are asking for. Let them ask their relatives who are staying in the central and southern regions if they are ready to relocate to the north anytime sooner. Its all about ignorance and greedy
Iwe DC Moyo akupatsa chi bans eti….can’t u see with your necked eyes that there is unfair distribution of resources starting from education, health, tourism, agriculture, transport infrustructutures and even political positions. The north is just used. Iweyo ndiye educated salvage not omwe akufuna ferdal gvt….
Tikakumenyerani nkhondo ozadyerera ndinu nomwe mukutipanga let down….what we want is to eliminate this stupid quota system or atamanga Mombera University…
Ndimmene nkhondo imayambira
If Malawians were educated and had knowledge of democracy like other people in other nations, to day this country could not have been ruled by DDP. Thinking of conquencense which will come if DDP rules. But Malawi is a nation which is divided in region, tribalism. If people will have harder time they have to blame themselves. They could have understood that DDP was a government which provoced donors because of governance. It was a corrupted, tribalist and Nepotism government. Peter did not hide that he will take where his bbrother left, what did that mean? Where did his brother left? Unfortunates Malawians looked at few buildings he made with their own tax money but forget how much this man stole from them. Malwians only saw what JB government stole. Now DDP is going to have hard and Malawians will also suffer who to blame? The people not Peter or DDP. You made you choice then take it. Who or which donor country will give Malawi money which they know that thse people are wating to take to enrivh Mlomwes and friends. Why DDP is not forcing the Cash Gate cases if they want to show how good and serious they mean about corruption? Because they know very well that if they do so they will also face the same treatment. Dont forget where DDP came from. The donors are waiting to see the thieves to be punished. but this will never happen in Malawi. In donors country even president can be punished if he/she stole tax money which is peoples hard earning money. Africa and Africans have failled to rule themselves. Here comes a man who has not stayed in the country for many years and you choose him to be a leader, just because he is prof and his brother is a president who also was choosen by a disappointed corrupted leader. This foreigners wonder. Are Malawians really people who think properly? NO! Peopel have spoilled this beautiful nation. Cry for Kamuzu Banda A dictator but a man who made this nation to be a good nation for education without separating the nation. Mutharikas dont even know if they are Mlomwes. Most of Muntharikas are in Mozambique. In Malawi anyone from neigbouring country can claim a citizen and become a leader of this nation. It is not difficult. Malawians are so dum fools.
And if they are phiris, are they really lomwes? Not tongas? Ha ha!!! Opusa alomwe inu!!!
Apakatife Wakumpoto basi dpp yatibera vote yathu !!
SomethingI think Northerners are just empty headed people who dont know where and what they want. is wrong with we Northerners. First we vote for the Southerners then we want to demonistrate. What for. Northerners voted for DDP on 2014 elections. So why are you not happy? In Likoma Island they voted for DDP in all districts in Northen region there were people who voted for DDP. So when you were voting what did you expect? No wonder they say they will be no Northerne president. I am sure Northerners will continue to vote for Southerners even in 2019. These Muntharikas have come to rule Malawi for eve. As long as Northerners dont use their intelligent brain to other things rather than reading books.
Intelligent brains is what you are seeing, federalism or secession!!!
I can Also see your very ignorance, that political parties should be based on regionalism!! Is it really necessary for the north to have its own party? Where will that party lead them to when your savage voting patterns are tribalistic? Only people who lack proper education tend to vote that way. Parties should be national and the people should be voting nationally as northerners have shown you. We love Malawi more than you DPP people but what have we benefitted?
You want the status quo because it benefits you people from the south. You Also have the numbers. Your days are numbered. You may end up on your own in the south.
KARONGA KARONGA,It is home of false allegations recently one business was nearly killed because of their hate of other tribes.They leveled him against false allegations and demonstrated that he should go back to his CHEWA tribe.He was stoned, his car was burnt .Today they same people spearhead to ignite tribe hatred amongst united Malawi without even single knowledge of what federation is.It is not that .The real issue is economic problems and interest of other Politicians who want positions in NEW DPP government by force.
Nkhondes are very knowledgeable. It is you ignorant DPP people who don’t understand federalism.
All this because of quota system. You can deny people of the north everything but not Education. Why do you want to hardworking people their only reward. Merit is achievable by everyone. This should not be difficult to understand. Remove quota.
Why doing this now????? This is pure greed.. Mmene kunali jb chinasintha ndi chani ku north???mxieeewww
Just two years?
I dont understand this madness of dividing the nation. It is only supported by failed Malawians. Our country is small and poor and hence defragmenting it farther will not solve anything. The failed PP gulus are misleading people in the North on this. They were in government and did nothing.
let these bastards demonstrate and get killed. Who cares about them ? Atumbuka ndi anthu ojijilika kwambili and amaganidza kuti nimadolo and yet they are not. Taonani pa 20 th july , dzinapedwa dzambili ngati dza agalu. Am reliably informed that govt. has purchased ammunition worth K200m and and this should be used on these damn suckers in the so called NORTH.
JB never feared demos. No matter how provocative Kapito,Kabwila,White and others were,she encouraged them to demonstrate. See the difference? Mutharika shivers with just a plan to demostrate. Who is democratic? JB allowed the Kapitos to demonstrate and people shunned them.
tikatelo ndiye tayambako panopo we ready to die tikumana munsewu
Cry my beloved Malawi! Just because of a few power hungry individuals, they want to throw the whole country into turmoil! This is nothing about northerners or karonga people or whoever: it’s purely greed by those who thought they would rule forever. Now realizing that their chance will never return they want to confuse sober but weak minds that are already falling into their trap. Chonde abale, think seriously what ignited this federalism debate and who keeps fueling it? You will get the answers. Please let’s maintain our ” four corner stones” that have nurtured mother Malawi to this day. God bless my beloved country Malawi and protect it from evil minds..
Those of you who are advocating bullets for a peaceful demo, think again!!! After all why should a demo in kAronga bother you people in the south? You already say the people of the north can go on their own!!! I don’t know why you even bother to respond to federalists or secessionists when it doesn’t matter to as you keep on saying.
The problem is very clear, while the south keeps on insulting northerners, they are also clearly afraid of being on their own should the country split up into three. The south knows amongst the three regions, it is the most vulnerable to failure economically should the country split. Hence its opposition to federalism or secession. Hence their motto of being the only rulers of Malawi and not other people from Centre or north.
Well if you people from The south don’t want federalism or secession, then you must change your attitudes when in govt towards the north and central, more so towards the north. You always assume the centre is with you but you are very wrong.
Back to the kAronga demo, I would strongly advise the authority not to use any kind of force if the demo is peaceful. Just one reminder KAronga is not Mzuzu or mangochi!!! Some of you stupid dpp people advocating bullets could actually see the beginning of the end of what we know as Malawi if blood is shed in kAronga. Crimea is a good example that fits perfectly with KAronga!!!
Nya Moyo tikulowenge ta wina Karonga.
Muloweni Nyamoyo. Muchotseni mafupa.
We have parliament. There is no need to demonstrate for anything until it is debated in Parliament. Everyone ‘s mouth piece is his/her MP that is why we have them and that is why we voted for them. The DPP government is there legitimately through a vote regardless of what one might think. Our President Peter said that he would continue from where late Bingu left from. People voted for DPP knowing well what they were voting for. If people feel DPP did not win for whatever reason, they should ask themselves where the DPP NGC was when votes were counted. Whatever happened it was a system that wanted the present government and that system won. This is democracy. Our President Peter is carrying out the DPP manifesto as said and campaigned for and people complain yet they voted for it. This is unfair to democracy and we need to see ourselves as a Democratic nation and we should defend this democracy. Please do not be misguided to break the law as it is bad for democracy and our future as a people with or without federalism.
No one is talking about winning or losing elections here. People are talking about federalism or secession because the current system has failed them as it is not changing. The dpp govt promised to do things differently but it is continuing with its blatant tribalism and nepotism. That is not doing things differently.
Kodi amwene are you really this daft or it is your love for DPP? I have no more words for you.
TIWOTCHENGE KA NYUMBA KAKO NYAMOYO USANGE UKUKANA MADEMO, OR MUTIKOME NA BINGU WAKO AS U DID JULY 20, TALKING ABOUT UNIVERSITY UKUNENEAYO KUZAKHALA ALOMWE OKHA OKHA, CHECK MZUZU GOVER, MZUZNI ALOMWE 70% ACHEWA 20% $ 10% ATUMBUKA NDIYE UKUTI NYOOO,NYO, DIKILA UZIWONERA WEKHA.
Why do politicians fear demos?
bwana mutharika and your Dhee.Phi.Phi banning demos in this democratic dispensation is not the solution, address the grievances instead.
DC was rather very forceful in her response. The O/C is also a crap. Very intimidatory. If you want to silence people in this way, you will be surprised on the material day. Hear about the descriminatory selection of students to colleges, Nkhaboss and Chaminade. Does that not offend people who are affected. Any way, poti ku Police mipando amangowona yemwe wakhaliska pantchito, physical appearance and where one comes from. Madam Rosemary, I dont blame you. I know you are getting the psychological pressure from the powers that be. Sinanga munatenga injuction. You cannot add salt to the wound.
Useless Useless so called DC! She is not fit to hold the Office of the District Commissioner for Karonga or any part of Malawi because of her Dictatorship Stance!
Let the Demos be conducted freely and the Security Forces such as the Police must guarantee good security to ensure that those Demos are Peaciful and Fair!
My belief is that Karonga belongs to Karonganz even before it is Malawi it belongs to them. My plea is that Mama Nyamoyo please listen to them and see sense in them if there is any. But to call all clap may be it is just going too far with all the powers vested in you.
As for the leaned Mangani, I believe that threatening people is like pouring fuel on fire. I suggest you seek mediation than confrontation. You may not contain the violence that could ensue as a result of peoples anger and frustration.
Now we can remember JB when everyone could do demos freely.Shsme on DPP.Balekeni bene mpoto bakhale pabekha.
Now we can remember DPP, when they were in opposition they never funded any Demo.
Dc chindere iwe!
Dc wachabechabe uyu.
kkkkkkkkkkkk nanji dziko lichepelenji kwenikweni aku north vuto ndi chani Poti nonse mwazazana Pakati ndi kumwera
Hahahahaha usless demo
Federalism is a political concept in which a group of members is bound together by covenant (Latin: foedus, covenant) with a governing representative head. The term “federalism” is also used to describe a system of government in which sovereignty is constitutionally divided between a central governing authority and constituent political units (such as states or provinces). Federalism is a system based upon democratic rules and institutions in which the power to govern is shared between national and provincial/state governments, creating what is often called a federation. That’s what Northerners want, remember they brought freedom to us and were not selfish that they put Kamudzu to rule who brought as cash gate. Wake up idiots of Malawi. Umbuli ndi matenda.
Did you google this or fromyour brain.
Go karonga go to shame Kyungu wadyera. This DC is a dpp supporter and a lomwe by tribe. Karonga plz play her cool. Which issue has peter addressed 4 north? Leaving 10 and 11 points north students and selecting 25points lomwes is adressing quota? Shatapu zako dc mwina maweya yako. Unditukiska chindere iwe
this demo is welcome! Let it spread to the south and WE THE PEOPLE will return the favour! Its high time these tumbukas realised that we dont want them in our region. Be prepared to relocate you parasites!
IT SADDENS MY INTELIGENCE TO READ THE IGNORANCE OF A COMMENT. THE ISSUE IS NOT ABOUT TRIBES BUT SYSTEM OF GOVERNANCE. SO COMMENT WHEN FULLY INFORMED.THANK YOU
you are right no 80.1. Wa no 80 ndi mbuli za quarter system. akuganiza kuti ife a ku Mpoto timakonda ku central or southern region? we have a home called Northern Region and we love our Mother North. The problem is distribution of resources. If all was well bwenzi tili kwathu developing our own Region. This is why tikangokumanapo automatically we switch on to our Tumbuka or any Northern Region language. tikangoyamba kukamba our mother language Achewa onse ndi A Chawa koma kufuna kukomoka. What is yr problem? Inu mumatha kukamba chiyankhulo chanu mukakhala ku mpoto anytime. Surprisingly, Ife sizimatikhuza olo. koma inuyo mumafuna kutsegula mmimba kungomva chitumbuka. Kodi Northern Region is it a threat to you??????????? Answer me.
machende ako kape iwe……ife ndi amene sitikufuna kuti tizikhala kumwera kuno coz ur just killing our intelligence…fuck and suck ur mother!!!
Who can cry for selfish tumbukas? Go to your dead north! Tatopa nanu! Mumafuna u driving seat yet you don’t have the numbers! Go to north, we want our jobs back!
elhaji supuni 79,ukulira usaname!kulira kupose ap?pepani
Why are the other tribes in Malawi so scared of northerners. All I can read here is amandikwana and that they will never rule. Why don’t you look at the advantages of federal government. Look at Kenyans doing it. Even central and south in federal systems will manage their own funds. Please first understand the system before this nonsense reasons here. People in Malawi are clever to be scared of an idea for all malawians just because northerner brought up the idea. Wake up people even USA uses the system.
That is totally wrong to think like that, people for north think it twice for that suggestion
Malawi is small country and is poor. Please find out who is behind that issue want our country to divided?
central is next. we are victims as northerners.
The very fact that you get irritated when the Northerners say they want independence means you need them, no matter how much you deny it. Northern economist raised a great point, the fact that this APM guy said he will build a university there does not guarantee that its for Northerners. I was at Nkhata-bay Secondary School myself, and its a pity if you see what the ethinical stats are like there, even though its deep in the Northern region. So Nyamoyo, We know you are trying to protect your job, but do it within reason. We will have an autonomous North, free from YOU who IS AGAINST IT, so zip it because we do NOT NEED YOUR INPUT ANYWAY!!! We dont really care what the NGWIRAS’ motives are for starting this federalism debate anyway, its a choice between a lesser evil. The arrogance of the LOMWES nafe takwanidwa nanu, just as much as nanu mwakwanikwa ndi a tumbuka. Votsek!!!
My brother John, you can say that again, ngati a Lomwe akwanidwa nafe nafenso ndiye takwanidwa nawo. Kutikakamira bwanji kodi. Let us go.
To start with, I’m a northerner but brought up, educated, working and married in Central and southern regions. It is sheer ignorance and primitivity that you call for federal Govt. Few people understand it’s meaning and the majority will misinterpret it’s meaning and cause unnecessary panick and loss of jobs that you demonstrators will not provide. Your fellow rich men are constructing Universities to address shortage of public universities. Introduce technical colleges and develop like Japan. It is total lunacy to cause the state of anarchy at a regional level because of a reverend turned satanic Ngwira to inject evil spirits in your already dunderheads.
Leave us alone that went to school enjoy the fruits of our hard work. We worked hard to see good things and in return develop our poor homes.
I totally disagree with whatever stupid planned demos will bring to the people of north. Katunga should not represent northern region. I am not part of this. SHUPUTI
You are not a true northerner. Your surname is probably not northern. My children could not do what they wanted in college although they fully qualified just because they are northerners. You can go to hell, please renounce any association with the north.
Zitsiru za anthu izi,they dont even know wat it means to say federal govt.umbuliwu inu.mitu izigwira ntchito
#PAYEREPAYERE chitsiru ndiwe coz we don’t need u….go and suck ur mother ur a useless human being…ur not a northerner so it means ur not concerned its us from the north who r concerned so shut up u pussy hole
At 42, u r really a foolish. Southern Region & Central Region are developed with govt resources, why do u want northerners to develop their own region? That’s silly. Building a house is personal issue. We’re talking about infrastructure here. North has one tarmac road. Recently Peter Mutharika said he will build a stadium in Blantyre. Really? There’s already Kamuzu Stadium and other smaller ones. Lilongwe has several. Ask yourself, ‘how about Mzuzu?’ Mutharika, like his brother Bingu, is favouring his region in devt. Bingu had the audacity to build right in his village. When northeners are fighp for federal state they have a point.
Those accusing this poor lady are not serious. You want her be demoted or redeployed? She is protecting her job. Let those wanting to demonstrate go ahead because it is their right. My problem is with southerners who hate northners but dont want see then govern their affairs. Dont worry southerners, mpoto guys akusiyirani Goodal Gondwe. They know that you you are severely challenged in economic issues even though Mandala (Fredrick Moir) taught you business but still can not run financial affairs panokha.
Let them go and do their thing. You will be going up north to learn from them or learn from us on the centre.
we just want the north for northeners
umbuli chabe some pple they don’t even know what federal gvt is,
In bashing Karonga Pro. Demonstrators, DC Rosemary Moyo says the issue of Quota system is already addressed with the coming of a University in the north. The whole thing is to use a horse and a carrot style to perpetuate us in the system. Abolishing Quota system does not require a construction of a university in the North but simply the political will to do away with it unconditionally. Lets not judge a person by the district or place of origin but by his or her personal character. A district or region should not be a barrier to any one’s success.
A DC akuteteza ntchito chabe awa.Akufuna ma salar, yet deep down her heart she is for seccission.We will still do it my friend,no matter what.These are women,and they are sentimental.We need seccession….period!Azimayi ntchito yanu ndiyongophika basi.You cant say anything sensible.Izi asiyireni anyamata ndi azibambo.Just receive the petition,if they are peaceful demonstrations,then they have a sound voice to hold the demonstrations.But zoyambitsa mzimayi izi,agaluwa atumiza asilikali a nkhondo,coz of kupanda nzeru kwa mzimayi.Stupid.Zoti even atamanga university yo,inu mukalowamo?Mwaona zimene zachitika ku Nkhatabay Secondary School?52 students were selected to that secondary school,all chewas,no pserson from Nkhatabay selected,and not even one from the northern region has been selected.Yet this rubbish Moyo is busy refuting the genuine calls for seccission.Basi?Ntchito?
The issue here that the north is sick & divorced with the status quo. The DC is uncivilised misguided person. Does building a university solve quota system? NO. Students will selected using quota system & will be 4 the country. Sorry DC u are very myopic or greedy. The fact that u have ur paper doesn’t mean everyone. 4 sure Malawi should be ashamed using AFFirmative action on a tribe. Those who get to university thru quota are MPSU meaning Members of Parliament for University .
Demo might be an extreme action. Focus on mature debate, my people! On the government side, “banning demos” is tantamount to trifling freedom of expression. In fact, if you stop them, you are trying to put out the fire by pouring paraffin onto it. Find the right mix – even fund school debating clubs to debate it; Nankhumwa to fund/moderate public debates in our city/town halls, etc. Make it fun, hey!
Peter don’t think you are smart by doing that, we can do anything to accomplish what we need. We are not dumb like your brothers, we can do it if we want to. you are such a stupid President. I have used my real details so that if you want to do anything you can do that, a foolish man.
Osatikakamira tisiyeni tizilamulire tokha agalu inu ma tenant athu a fodya

So Mbombera University is for north only, then that is what we call SANKHO. So north people can’t go to Chanco or Polytechnic or Malawi Science for Technology because the Mombela. Shame
Mayi uyu akulankhula mwachibwana! Mafumu adakana kale? Hahahaha! Kodi voti yofuna kumva maganizo a anthu idachitika liti? Nanga ‘mafumu’ alipo angati? Akuti sukulu ya ukachenjede ikubwera! Liti?

WHAT IS EQUAL DISTRIBUTION OF PUBLIC RESOURCES IF ONLY PEOPLE FROM NORTHERN REGION HAD ACCESS TO THE UNIVERSITIES. SO QUARTER SYSTEM IS THERE TO MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE FROM ALL DISTRICTS IN MALAWI HAVE EQUAL ACCESS TO THESE PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES. ON THE ISSUE OF FEDERALISM, LET THE NORTHERNERS HAVE THEIR OWN COUNTRY SO THAT THEY CAN DEVELOP IT TO THE MAXIMUM.
DC opanda nzeru uyu! Do you think iweyo wekha uli ndi nzeru koposa anthu onsewo akufuna kupanga demonstration wo??? Nchifukwa anakuchosa ku uphunzisi iwe, ntchito kukwerana ndi Makileni. Alore anthu achite Demo. sikuti apha munthu, ndi ufulu wao kusonyeza zakukhosi kwao. Pwiiiih!
If you are from the north, you can see the pain that the people there are going through. This so called one Malawi is utter rubbish and nosense!! Let the north be given a chance to govern itself other than being oppressed in all spheres of life that matter. Quota system is a hate policy which was outlawed even during Kamuzu dictatorial rule. No sane human being can smile at this rubbish policy. Why are you subjecting northerners to discriminatory selection when exams are written under same circumstances?? You are the scum lower the lucifer and you can go to hell with your fictitious country called Malawi which is still a village after 50 yrs! You think we want to cling to Blantyre and Lilongwe? What is there in these townships? Whats there to show? Give us our country and see where we will be in 10 yrs from now!! Lets see who gonna teach your children you maggots and lets see how far you will go with your medieval cultural practices that also shape your bullshit policies. You are very evil!!!
that sounds too much, slow down and essentially concentrate on ideology.
I see pain my brother. When things get this far, it is dangerous.
Bravo no 57. hear, hear, hear mbuli za DPP. wait for another kadiyaki alesti.
Tawasiyeni ntchito yao ndi kutsutsa ngakhale ndi zabwino zomwe.Kuno kumwera tikuwona nepotism coz bwana akakhala wa kumpoto no chance kwa wa central ndi south koma kukwezana okhaokha.Ifenso tatopa nao go back to ur so called northern Malawi.
Shoot to kill will be the only solution and Malawi will be very peacifull.
From Chitita to Nsanje is one Malawi and the President is Peter. Anyone who disagrees is commiting treason.TREASON ,TREASON,TREASON. Blood will flow for nothing coz that will no materialise. Your tenants will become farm owners.
Go ahead guys you have the right to do so. Please the officer incharge don’t intimidate people let them go ahead. Do you remember in the early 90s what they were saying about Chihana, but today who is enjoying the fight of Chihana. Shame on you who are against this idea. We will continue with the struggle cause we know our destiny. For your own information, it is a known fact that there is a conspirancy to weaken the north, just look at quota system and appointment of positions etc. Kawaliro kafwene. Time is now. Go boys!

Security agents please if they(selfish northers) try to stage the demos, please please take this opportunity to wipe out this blood. Atumbuka amandikwana heavy becoz of kudzikonda. Makamaka Nzomera Ngwira uyu – the satanic reverend! Eeesh!
Ng’ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!Tapitabe!
POINT OF CORRECTION TO THE IGNORANT. NOT EVERYONE IN THE NORTH IS A TUMBUKA. tONGAS ARE MOSTLY IN NKHATABAY, NGOINIS ARE MOSTLY IN MZIMBA, TUMBUKAS ARE MOSTLY IN RUMPHI, NKHONES ARE MOSTLY IN KARONGA AND THERE ARE SEVERAL TRIBES IN CHITIPA. SO PLEASE NOTE THAT NOT EVERYONE FROM THE NORTH IS A TUMBUKA.
The MP’s from Karonga who feel left out of government are funding this chaos in Karonga to pressure Peter Mutharika to appoint them as Ministers.
Frank Mwenifumbo is the ring leaders are organising this from Mwenefumbo’s hotel. Next thing Mwenefumbo and even Enock Chihana will do is offer to mediate and calm the situation in Karonga and the north.
This always happens when those who are suppose to lead turn them selves to rule,intimmidate,oppress, undertreat…feel them selves familiar than others,adopt the arogant style of living and marking them selves that they are always ascendants forgeting that once by any means they shall descend.Am not from the North nor I support this so called feds. or separations.but as a malawian I have a say to say, more espercially to my THE central citizens . this LOMWE GVT OF MALAWI is downplaying any body who is not of them and mark me well soon is you chewas next to cry (if you are not crying already which is impossible)… And was for the same Arogancy,Regionalism and Triblism MULUZI chose to gave power to STUPID LOMWES than giving it to the other regions…..TO the NORTHENERS get ready for the bullets because the name MUTHARIKA still exist..no matter some changes. when going to demos. remember to cary every body ones coffin..20july is not far from your calender.RESURRECTION OF DPP, A THREAT TO ALL….IT JUST COFUSE ME WHY YOU CLAPPED HANDS WHEN THE PIERCING SHOOT WAS EMERGING KNOWING THAT YOUR FOOT IS BARE. silly NOTHERNERS……Gooooo…he is ready to KILL YOU.
This DC is foolish woman. Who said that the university that will be built in the north will be for northerners? It is for all Malawians you fool.
Is that a DC or a politician? how dare she contravene the very fabric of a free society… how can she say the youths are sponsored just by looking at the letter?
Nya Moyo is comletly wrong to say that the issue of Quota system is already addressed with the construction of Mombela University. Abolishing the discriminatory system does not need a construction of a new university, for even with the new university coming in, northerners will still be discriminated against. Just look at the Nkhataby boys secondary school selection list, you will find no northerner on the list. Let them abolish the evil system unconditionally.
If this is true, where is your spirit Mtemi Kyungu, Themba Chikulamayembe, TA Kamemem, TA Fukamapili, Ada Vuwa Kaunda, Minister Grace Chiumia?
AMALAWI MUZOLOWELA MTENDERE MUDZIKO MUNO NOW YOU WISH FOR BLOODSHED KUSILIRA ZIMENE ZIKUCHITIKA KUMAIKO KWINA. CAN YOU NOT GET IT THROUGH YOUR THICK HEADS THAT IF YOU PURSUE THIS, THERE IS GOING TO BE BLOOD SHED IN THE COUNTRY MORE ESPECIALLY KUMPOTO KWANUKO. STOP THIS NONSENSE AT ONCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We are more than ready for blood shed UNTIL We have our own nation in the north.
Northerners,how many times should you be reminded you shall neva RULE Malawi?Malawians cant vote for a northern president.They would rather rotate the presidency from Chewas-Kamuzu,Yaos-Bakili,JB,Lomwes-Mutharikas,and other tribes senas, next on the line is either Chakwera or Atupere, then the circle re-start, but not tumbukas becoz of your characters-no need to mention. Check yourselves. You get busy developing central/southern region with masions, yet your region is in scums, inhabitable and you later claim resources are distributed unequally. Charity begins at home. None will develop the north unless by yourselves. Southerners/centrallers develop their own regions, why cant you do the same. Dont shift the blame on government.
Amangeni ndi Mbuzi anthuwa
contradiction fallacy….u want equal distribution of resources 4geting dat education z oso a resource…mungofuna kumpangira apa….
A wind of change will soon blow. I dint know about these intelligent boys who are they? we must suport them.its been long time we notherners oppressed and depressed.quota systm is the shitest thing in one nation state,who will soon recognise mbombela college in a job market?.
mmesa you want equaldistribution of resources…so y? rejecting quota system…quota is all about equal distribution of education(resourse)
This will be another July 20 2012 incident if you don’t handle it carefully , this is Genesis , you will see when we rich Malkayi be careful bwana DC that is Karonga , you will ask me one day
I dont understand why the government is begging these people from the north to make their country. In fact they are the very people who have underdeveloped this country. They have occupied each and every office but what they do their is underdevelopment. Let them make their nation. Tiwathamangise kuno kumwera ife amatinyasa kumwera ndi pakati
Kaya mufune kaya musafune tipangabe ma demo.Nawenso Moyo the Bitch,you cant even think that universities are also resources?Quota system is one of the issues on resources!
Ise mpaka titipangenge ma demo. Wakhumba wundakhumbe
Zaziii!! Poor Northerners Eiiiish!!
Zaziii! Poor Northerners kkkkkk!!
ife aTUMBUKA sitizatheka
We are in a democratic country, individuals they have a right to raise some issues concerning their daily life, and sake opinion from the general public and to those who are campaigning to see their dreams coming to reality please be strong enough, remember even the time people stood against colonialism the challenge was there, don’t forget our our struggle to multiparty domination. There is no sweet without sweat.
Madam DC,is it true?
It is your right guys go ahead
what will happen between now that we dont have mbombela university if t will ever come to exist? the DC must not be that myopic in dealing with karonga ppo. chiefs do not put food on peoples table. Imbombo iyo
HONESTLY SPEAKING I VALUE HIGHLY PEOPLE FROM NORTH VERY INTELLEGENT AND I KNOW RIGHT NOW THEY ARE JUST DEALING WITH ANGER. BROTHERS FIND A RIGHT WAY TO ACHIEVE YOUR GOALS…………
IF I HAD AUTHORITY TO GIVE THE NORTHERN REGION TO YOU NOW. HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE YOU TO ACHIEVE TO GET WHAT YOU GOT ON YOUR LIST.
IF SOME ONE AMONG YOUR SELVES ASKED TO CUT YOUR WELL ACHIEVED FEDERATION STATE TOMORROW, WOULD YOU JUST GIVE HALF OF NORTH TOMORROW LIKE YOU ARE GIVING YOUR SON COINS?
ZIKANAKHALA KUTI MALAMULO AMATILOLA KUPANGA NGATI MOMWE ZILILIMU BWENZI MAFUMU TIKUWALANDA HALF YAMUDZI KUNGOWAWONETSA MFUTI, KOMA PALI DONGOSOLO YAMAGAWIDWE AMUDZI PAMAKHALA A T/A KOMANSO ANTHU ACHIBALE OMWE AMALONGOSOLA.MTIMA PANSI.
We never learn from past mistakes. The DC has sworn to the nation that there will be no demonstration in Karonga. She has in her wisdom noted on behalf of the daft people of Karonga that all the things in the petition have been answered. Quota system will be resolved by Mbombera university. Furthermore they should have sought her permission to have the reasons validated by her. You are basically challenging the people of Karonga Mam, and in the process fuelling the demos, it will come sooner than later.
Some of us may not know where chiefs come from, am not surprised when you say chiefs are nothing, but your land is best known by chiefs and we didnt elect them like MP they are naturally there without our power. Then you think you can just decide to be a chief in the land of other chief. Go try in Mozambique if it works. Are you Guys copying FROM Tanzania to cut Lake Malawi. lol
The DC must be mad, how can she ask such foolish question about the resources. We are deprived alot of them. We know she’s trying to protect what brings bread on her table. Let justice prevail leave people to express their opinions, this is a Democrat era, call a referendum on this important issue.
what govt should know is that northern region leads in every change that happens in this country, so they can never be supressed, bingu tried but we saw wat happened thereafter he collapsed due to pressure, this is the same way peter will lose his life faster , these people do not forgive munthu that easily, i can assure u that wind of change is blowing, ask kamuzu in 1992, it was chihana who chased kamuzu!!!!!!!!!!
YOU ARE FREE TO DO ANYTHING PROVIDED YOU QUALIFY FOR DEMOS. If their issues are being addressed then they are not qualified for Demos. If cheifs say no for federation, If gorverment is in the process to build the University, and you still want to go to the streets for demos then its not right. We cant mix FREEDOM against PEACE…..Freedom could not mean in your house your son decides to bring his girl friend in his mothers bedroom, or your daughter decide to bring her bustard in your room to enjoy sex rights, and if you say no to him/her then he/she go to police for demos. Its you country but you must obey the law or you get arrested for breaking the law.
Demostration is a right not breaking a law.They have even went further to present their request to the DC!!
Very pathetic-sounding DC. Will the unconfirmed university in the north be for northerners only? Have you been told that this questionable university will be erected next month? ka ndiwe nyaMoyo mbuni iwe? Yayi, mwana wane, nthena chara. Enya, mulimo wako kolera, kwene, kumbuka Estere wa mu Baibulo. Wapulika nyaMoyo?
UNITED KINGDOM GAVE PEOPLE A CHANCE TO VOTE, WHETHER SCOTLAND SHOULD CONTINUE BEING PART OF UNITED KINGDOM OR NOT? DO NOT STOP PEOPLE, LET THEM VOICE OUT THEIR ARGUMENTS. THIS IS DEMOCRACY.
Mbuli iwe ADE, go and check the map of United Kingdom and see where Scotland is located.
It this the reason APM secretely wagula zipolopolo from South Africa to kill the demonstrators? shame.
Stop quota system in the selection of students to public universities!! You have one university in the Nyika Republic and as you want to become your own country,think of where you will place your people studying internationally at UNIMA,LUANAR and MUST. We are watching you with keen interest.
We will start building our own you asshole no 18 mhone!we will succeed and you will see how we will prosper mwamanyazi!
stupid no 18. Mukuopa chani wina Mpoto akakhala paokha? very foolish no 18. you wait and see. Northern Region itha kutukuka ukuwon ndi maso ako asapenyawo.
tchaka or wateva u co urself tatopa nanu mukhoza kumapita u motherfuckers
W@ we need z govt 2 abolish quota system & nt just promises of building new public university in the North. Does that mean we will be suffering quota till de so called university is finished? How will the new university address the issue of quota system? R u trying to say that that so called Mombera will only be for the north people? I can see that building so called Mombera university is not related at all to the abolishment of quota system we r asking the government here.
MR MALAWIANA YOU DONT SOLVE PROBLEMS BY COMPARING MANGOCHI
an issue of NORTHERN district is equal to over throwing the present goverment, if this will be allowed then SOUTHERN region might also decide to become federal then CENTRAL region in fact the entire mini Malawi………..what you think?, is this berber shop where you decide to cut your own style.Mangochi is just a district issue is not based on developments of the city or inequality of wealth distribution of the goverment or racist. Even if Mangochi qualifies to be islamic warawara this doesnt mean other people should stop going to church in mangochi. It may JUST mean that you can eat pork in your house but dont take it to the MARKET or schools should allow those who feel to dress islamically without restrictions. There is no compulsory in religion. You see where you come from…SIR
Atumbuka nonse muchoke ku south ndi ku central regions mupite kumpoto kutchire kwanuko. tikupasani federalism ndipo musazatibowenso. chomwe mumakakamira kuno sitimachiziwa anthu ozikonda inu.
Mula, infact thats what your government has been telling us through actions all these years. Its just a matter of making it official. The actions of all the governments of this country have cleary shown that North Malawi is not part of this country. Listen to the radio and you will hear something like Azam Tigers inakasewera mpira ku mpoto and Moyale inakasewera mpira mu mzinda wa Blantyre. Why not say azam tigers inakasewera mpira mu mzinda wa Mzuzu?
Minority vocals
Mayi DC, remember that people have the right to demonstrate. You don’t have to agree with their reasons for demonstration for you to grant them permission. Some wise man once said ” I may not agree with your opinion but nevertheless, I will defend you to express your opinion” (not exact). Be wise, you live only once and your life should be lived such that people under your care are fully supported to fulfil their aspirations.
Is this democracy where people are free to express their grievances? Did you dabate on this issue prove how many in the north are againt this system. Do you want to dictate against their will? Are we in democracy or Thangata of ancient Southern Region where Chilembwe ‘s false story said he fought for the country not his church? He also prophesized that Kudzabwera wina mtsogoleri ndiye Kamizu Banda. This gave him a licence to appear on money!
THE START OF FIRE HAS STARTED, LET KEEP EYING PEOPLE OF MALAWI, AND LETS PRAY TO GOD TO SAVE OUR SOULS.
This Mulhako government has declared war against the people of Nyika. This illiterate DC doesn’t know what the hell she is talking. People have a right to demonstrate peacefully and let their grievances be heard. She cannot see trbalism, nepotism, genocide, and many other “Isms” the Northerners are suffering from because she has been showered with blood money. Let this demonstration take place with/without permission from her. The chiefs do not speak on behalf of the people of Nyika. The word of the chiefs do not bind to us. Chiefs are the instruments of oppression and to us, the people of Nyika, do not count nothing. Let me warn these brutal savage mulhako police that the world is watching your actions and you will be accountable for the death of our brothers and sister. Peter Mutharika has turned Malawi into a police state. Fuck You DC and the demonstration will go ahead. I will be the first one to take the bullet for the freedom of our people. You DC must start parking your shit to Ndata Farm to be a house girl of Peter Mutharika. You cannot stop the movement of people who are yawning for FREEDOM. Alluta Continua in our beloved Nyika.
Mai DC give the people a chance to demonstrate. By the way, who appointed Chiefs to be spokespersons for the people? Masikono avuta pa Malawi.
NYA MOYO U DONT KNOW WHAT U R TALKING ABOUT.
NKHATABAY US IN THE NORTH BU THIS YEARS SELECTION HAS NO SINGLE STUDENT FROM THE NORTH.
WAKEUP U UGLY THING CALLED NYA MOYO. WE WILL REMEMBER U WHEN WE TAKE OVER.
U BITCH
University ya viweto ndikuti wakumpoto wakwererenge kumoza?, kuti yikamale universty DC ndipo quota system yizamumalira ? ndipo mphauli ?
Thus a good idea achina Karonga. and we are behind you please keep it up because at the end it will go to other districts for the same demonstration.
Trying to surpress people isn’t best thing. Syria on my mind!
does the DC knows that t\a mwilang’ombe said the people have the right to debate about the issue,in mzimba a pressure group is in the offing to fight for secession,the DC should be neutral in some issues.chiefs dont have the last say in important issues.FOND is there just wait on 28sept,the venue to be announced soon in mzuzu.come and hear facts.the struggle has begun.
Atumbuka, move to the north and decliar independence. No one from south will be bothered, what are you waiting for. You make too much noise for nothing.
This is really becoming interesting. By the way, why do the authorities fail to ban demonstrations in Mangochi? I mean those people in Mangochi can demonstrate and go on rampage at will and have made it clear that they want an Islamic State in the district but the levels of political bickering from the authorities do not reach the levels we have seen lately with regard to federalism. Do you mean you dont take the Mangochi people seriously?
ban the demo and see that an armed struggle becomes imminent.what happens when the society is dissillussioned?the struggle has just began.mark my words.
Abdul, Do not fuel strife. Karong people are people who do not the law about demos. It is a banch of sent people ‘a kadzifere’. Let them dare go to the streets, the police will finish them.
and who understands law about demo if karonga people do not understand??????????????????? which southerners understand law of demonstrations????? the same who work as tobbaco tenants in northern region??????
