Malawi opposition initiated violence, now reaping what they sowed– Dausi
Minister of Homeland Security Nicholas Dausi is in the news for making comments that the opposition parties crying foul now for escalating political violence were responsible for the radicalisation of youth during the post May 21 2019 Tripartite elections protests and they are harvesting what they sowed.
Dausi, who is also spokesperson of the governing Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), has been backed on his remarks President Peter Mutharika’s spokesperson Mgeme Kalilani, according to quotes reported in the country’s leading daily, The Nation.
Said Dausi:“Are they [opposition] not the ones who killed a police officer at Msundwe in Lilongwe? Are they not the people that torched houses and buildings in Mzuzu, Karonga and many other places?
“Are they not the ones who dressed in berets written Osaopa? [Don’t be afraid].
“They are the ones behind the radicalisation of youth and we are now just harvesting the seeds of what they sow.
“We [DPP] are a peaceful people and we have not fought back after being attacked several times. It is very illogical, wrong to say that we are perpetrating violence.”
While President Mutharika’s spokesperson Kalilani said opposition parties alongside its partner Human Rights Defenders Coalition (HRDC) organised post-election demonstrations that at times turned violent with DPP members on the receiving end.
“The opposition politicians praised the violent demonstrations as successful and those perpetrating the violence as heroes and freedom fighters. Since then, President Mutharika has been condemning the violence and called upon the opposition leadership to show leadership, they ignored him, they kept quite.
“Today, they violence they initiated and nurtured is turning full circle and they would like to blame the President for it? They are being hypocritical. They are not sincere.”
In its extended coverage, the daily’s editorial comment branded remarks by Dausi and Kalilani as “irresponsible and insensitive.”
The paper said the minister should know that such “reckless and purely partisan remarks” can send wrong signals to some overzealous police officers who may overreact or indeed choose to be casual in handling cases of violence, thereby putting lives at stake.
“National security should not be compromised at the expense of partisan political interests. What binds Malawians as a people is far much greater than what divides them, including political affiliation,” the paper said.
Malawi is heading for the fresh presidential election after both the Constitutional Court on February 3 and Supreme Court of Appeal on May 8 2020 found that the May 21 2019 elections had serious irregularities.

Truth be told despite the opposition leader Chakwera initiating ndikhetsa mwazi politics in Malawi, inunso a Dausi ndi a Mwapasa anu you have failed to solve even one case of political violence you are the people that make the present government look bad APM should have fired you all a long time ago.
Nyekhwetheeeeeeeeeeeee ,,,,,,,,chisankho china KU mangochi after court in Blantyre nullified the election results of mangochi north east
Chakwera and MCP has perpetrated violence for the past 12 months. Chakwera said he was to ‘spill blood.’ He sent MCP thugs to chase people from the southern region. MCP, UTM and HRDC thugs destroyed shops. Chakwera created the Nsundwe MCP thugs who damaged government property and killed a policeman. He went to Nsundwe and thanked the MCP thugs. With Chilima, Chakwera sent thugs to stone Mutharika convoy in Ndirande and Atupele convoy on it’s way to Salima.
Shallow arguments I am afraid. Don’t forget DPP Mchacha and Dausi deliberately plant so-called cadets in protest processions to cause havoc so they can subsequently blame the opposition. This is a Dausi specialty.
Yes but no one was killed, anything tiny as tiny as a sewing needle was stolen, no shop was vandalized. Make your own judgement who the terrorist is.
Bandawe which persons from the South has been chased from central region.Iam from the South and stay deep into the central region at Nsalu in LL.
Useless leader
Violence happens when top readership disregards and disrespects the rule of law. The rest just follows. There’s chaos in Malawi at the moment almost in every sphere of life. Not only political physical violence…….. mu mitsika, taxi ranks, city councils cannot collect refuse, public littering. Mulibe mtsogoleri Malawi panopo. DPP didn’t have a voting mandate and it’s weak government and they know that.
See what we’ve been saying, asatana onse left MCP for dpp aka dausi and ntaba.
Chakwera said ‘we are going to spill blood.” What did you say? Chakwera sent MCP thugs to burn shops and buildings. Was that DPP. Nsundwe boys were created by Chakwera. Is that DPP? They spilt blood and killed.
Nothing good will ever come from this idiot Dausi.
Ngati pali munthu azathe ngati makatani nde dausi. awa palibe azakhale mbali yao akayamba kuyankha milandu
Dausi, have you forgotten your saying “Two wrongs do not make right”
We ate fed up of MCP, UTM and HRDC perpetrating violence. So we the PEOPLE will deal with these violent MCP and UTM thugs.
IF THE PRESIDENT DOES NOT WANT TO COMPAIGN FOR HIS JOB why Vote for him.
Ministers including Minister of Energy Running Mate Atupele compaigning BECAUSE they FEAR loosing THEIR
jobs and Promising LIES….
WHY waste YOUR VOTE on a Dead President WHO has run out of Ideas who just wishes to remain in State House… WE NEED A LEADER WHO will COME to HIS PEOPLE and ask for a Vote.
VOTE a NEW ERA of GOVERNMENT,..be part of CHANGE
It’s a shame that Chilima, Mtambo and Chakwera can today stand tall condenming violence. Is only violence when it is unleashed on opposition and it’s not when it is the rolling who have faced it. For 9 months Malawians have suffered at the hands of demos, people killed, property destroyed, businesses but that , to these people was peace and not violence. Well done Dausi
You are people who are empty headed. Peter and Jane caused the demonstrations because Jane refused to resign immediately when she was told she messed up the management of elections results. On the other hand Peter failed to fire her immediately and all the commissioners. That was the cause of the demos. Political parties had nothing nothing to do with the HRDC demos. Let us go to court and you will pay heavily.
MCP is a violent party.
With Dausi remarks police officers are not safe then
piece of sausage shit.
where were you all this time.if i was dausi would have shut my HIV drugs shit stinky breath.
mayufi awa asiyeni.
munagwilizana kutseka ma school and now the youth are gathering in massive during any political rallies , protest. with the lies of only 4 people dead from Covid! are you checking the statistics finye iwe????
on line learning should not have started now okky
The time internet was done in Malawi, by now we would have been advanced in it.
we have had ministers of education and i mean PhD holders some being from Chanco i mean that old fella let alone pitala himself.What did they do? 0 work than inviting each other for evening drinks. How can you expect a kid in the village be online learner with no gagdets????
yet we got someone promising mobile fones to lure people to vote for him and his grandad??? and when it was another scam hiding the ballot papers deal in that overturned lorry in Lumbadzi??? we were there dude.
we got the msakas distributing a blanket to the oldies to lure the vulnerable .
the scheme Bingu started The Gray …. and them taking it for granted as a personal token.
Msaka just done a 37 borehole in his area and the councillor lady got nothing on paper but very clever lady in talking nonsense!!!!. ofcourse water for life but bit doggy deal. how about the forest water project!!!
and now pitala bring in again the 2 old commissioners who were deemed incompetent
ARE WE TOGETHER HEY DAUSIIIIIII??????????????IT SUCKS
Who created Nsundwe MCP thugs? Who was chasing people from the southern region? It was Chakwera and MCP
Always truth pains. Everyone knows how for the past 10 month we have been leaving in malawi. Party leaders were busy in streets forcing people ti go for demostrations which at the end turned into violence. Nothing wrong to Dausi words as i can see.
When did HRDC a political organization?
Umbuli a Dausi: Know the difference between a demonstrator and a vandal!!! It is your responsibility (as Homeland Security minister) to differentiate between the two and to deal with vandals, instead you were busy harshly dealing with demonstrators!!!!
Are Nsundwe MCP thugs who killed a policeman protestors?
Are DPP thugs who petrol bombed the innocent family of tambala who left four innocent children orphan with scars , njaunju ,chasowa family. The UTM car in mulanje and what have you?
Foolish Dausi. He still has this in his head. He was one of those that were in the forefront of killings during Kamuzu Banda. Now because they know they’re losing they unleash violence. In fact we know the people that were violent during demonstrations were people you Dausi planted amongst the hrdc peaceful demos. Please osabweletsa maphokoso chifukwa mulibe kolowela. Mufune musafune dpp will not form government. It is obvious. Unless mubeso. Tinkhope ta mbava.
Dausi should RESIGN as Minister of Homeland Security it is YOUR JOB to protect all Malawians to suggest the opposition reap what they sow is a disgusting comment unbecoming of a Minister in such a position of Security of the Nation.
How difficult was it to investigate 63 police officers accused of Rape. Science available DNA testing once you are gone the NEW Government will test those Police Constables who’s your Daddy.
It’s UP TO YOU to VOTE CHANGE
Dausi wakuuzani chilungamo. Anthutu avutika ndi asakhwi a opposition wa ndipo ndi okwiya. Mpake akungogendedwa. Mudzaona mmene anthu adzaonetsere mkwiyo wawo pa ballot kukana awa a satanic okwetsa mwaziwa
ukunamatu iwe. Anthu ake ati ozavotera mfiti za dpp?
People can no longer be cheated, this Dausi guy, eishhhh u can tell just by the look on his face, he is a big time cheat and a liar…….I have never heard anything sensible coming out of his mouth, no wonder u r a DPP that’s what dpp is all about anyway, change is coming musapezele ponamizila anthu
MCP has perpetrated violence since last year. Chasing people from the south. Chakwera creating Nsundwe thugs who killed a policeman
Shallow argument
Dausi Minister of Homeland Security that’s a JOKE if you were GOOD at your JOB we would see arrests. FACT is the Violence has been done by DPP Cadets reason has been NO ARRESTS when there is you release them.
YOUR TIME WILL SOON BE UP, welcome retirement at your lake side mansion paid by the ill-gotten corrupt funds you stole from Malawians. Better yet enjoy the free accommodation at one of our prisons.
Only YOU CAN VOTE CHANGE be part of MAKING MALAWI GREAT stop corruption and Violence.
Days I had hit the nail on the head. All this is because of Chakwera Chilima and Hrdc with their Osaopa mantra. People enjoy and are used to political violence. It will be hard to stop even if we changed the president. Every slight mishap, people will take to the streets just we did at Chanco. Ka demo kaziyenda basi.&
Demos against stupidity by the ruling capitalist is not wrong. We are living in a new world order and if old guards do not want to change they will be forced to.
Wa Pioneer Dausi palibe chanzeru anganene chindere cha munthu
HRDC started the wave of violent politics that is affecting the country. The donors to this violent NGO should be ashamed.
If you don’t know the different demonstration and violence then you better go back to school.HRDC were demonstrating the out come the elections of which were nullified by the courts.So stop showing your brutant here wit your stupid Dausi and Mgeme.You are all fools who don’t understand democracy.
