Malawi opposition on alert over Israeli visitors

March 6, 2020 James Nthondo &Owen Khamula -Nyasa Times 77 Comments

Oposition political parties say they are alert after reports that  three Israelis are visiting Malawi  reportedly on State House undisclosed business with some sections claiming  they were  “espionage agent” just two months before the court sanctioned fresh presidential election.

The Israeli visitors in Malawi

The three Israelis; Aviv Osher using passport number 3901885, Barlev Omer on passport number 32212418 and Tsairi Marom travelling on passport number 39023709 flew into the country on Wednesday through Kamuzu International Airport in Lilongwe.

Private practice lawyer Bright Theu took to social media on Friday to question government decision to grant the Israelis  special immigration clearance .

A letter from the Immigration and Citizenship Services signed by Gloria Mtande clears the three to arrive in Malawi having been issued with gratis entry single visa on arrival.

“They are coming to Malawi at the invitation of State House on business visit,” says the letter in part.

According to lawyer Theu, the Israeli visitors include intelligence specialist and one with expertise in developing data manipulation computer programmer (python).

Theu, who represented UTM president Salos Chilima in the presidential election petition case at the Constitutional Court, said there is a “curious” rumour about vote rigging in the forthcoming fresh presidential election.

Meanwhile, the Immigration and Citizenship Services department has transferred some senior officers over the leakage of the letter to clear the three Israelis.

In the shakeup, officer in-charge for Immigration at Kamuzu International Airport Mbalose Mapemba has been moved to Malawi  Investment Trade Center and will be replaced by Justin Bello from the ministry of homeland security.

 

Theu said the shake up at immigration over the leakage  is to “confirm that the foreign agents are not here for any legitimate business.”

  1. Advise from a learned Judge
    Should any Malawian see a fellow Malawian or foreigner involved in rigging or acting suspiciously they should carry our a citizen’s arrest and hand over the culprits to the police.

  3. Ine nkhawaphalila yanga ngati was opposition ndi Jane ansah komanso mec sikuchoka pampando awa pang’ono Moti sindidzavota

    1. Nkhawa yanga ngati wa opposition ndi Jane Ansah ndi mec Kuti akukana kuchoka pa mpando osati izi za Israel ziii😂😂😂

  4. Opposition, people have stood behind you now get going instead of getting frightened. Time to deliver, stop creating unnecessary hype. We just want to vote and bury same old same old. People in our communities want meaningful change and you are the carrier of that hope. So please getting going with the business, people of different nation will visit us and that stop you from doing what you have to do

  7. Mbuli izi and political failures zititopetsa kwambiri kodi tikhalire zimenezi basi? If boma ends quota system ndi ndale, alendo abwere ati akudzabera, transfer ya anthu akuti ayi they to rigg elections. Eeeeee koma inu just quit and leave APM rule the country mukutinyansa kwabasi! And simunati kuliratu mwayamba kale kunjenjemera nayo dPP/UDF alliance! APM/Atupele fakani moo wambiri they should know game iyi siyamafana konse show and show them until you knock them out with 70% votes.

  8. While his counterparts throughout Africa are busy spending taxpayers money in preparations for Corona Virus, Malawi’s president peter Mutharika is busy hiring the Israelite to come and rig elections. this is very sad!!!!!

  9. don’t worry abwelera mwachangu, they have gone, left in hurry on Ethiopian Airline kikikikikikikikikikikiki

  10. Ohooo ndayamba kuzitsa tsapano. Mwati chaniiii. Sanalakwise. Wina walengeza kuti is planning to shut down state residences. Ndiye mukuti alakwisa? Alandilodi amangilira galu pa khomo ya chimbudzu. Ndiye kulilakutu?

  11. Jane Ansah is more than ready with her fell DPP MEC team you should more worried about than these foreigners . Should Jane Ansah read again the forth coming elections and say the opposition parties should keep watching this movie why are they still in charge of the elections till today not resigning their should be a reason behind this.

  12. Zione, ukanangovomereza kuti mwaonekera msana anthu akuba mopanda manyazi inu, si za defeat ayi, Our God never sleeps. Whatever DPP does in secret or during the night, always finds itself exposed to the public fullfilling the saying “No secret under the sun”

  14. vutotu apa ndimatha.pitala no longer trust his own security ,especially the army n now intends to beef up personal intelligency to avoid kujiwa

  15. Opposition have sniffed defeat and now they want to prepare their supporters that if they loose it is because of the Israelites. Chakwera is seen flying out of the country yet no one raises alarm.

    2. Iziso ndizo ziti Zione? Kikkkkkkkk bwanji? Ndiye popeza avomela kuti chizilimidwa Chambachi,ndiye kaya zifika pati?

  16. The opposition must wake up and do things fast. This baby crying will not solve anytihng. People have been waiting for an outcome from your alliance meetings but nothing is coming out, a clear indication that you are power hungry. Now a question is if you are failing to agree now how will you move forward together in future? So how can we trust you with our National Presidency? Time is running out for campaigning.

  17. Theu you said with expertise in developing data manipulation Computer programmer(python)? Do you know what python is? It’s a programming Language u idiot. Why are you trying to bring chaos in the country with your illiteracy? Osamakonda maboza ngati abwana ako…. are you saying that systems developed under python are all manipulated? Chitsiru ngati simmaziziwa osangokhala bwanji

    1. eti eti akulu awa kaya bwanji. Unfortunately people spread lies about things they know nothing about, its why there are so many conspiracy theories

    1. It doesn’t matter who they are. All we know is that they’re here to fix the election for DPP and MEC. APM invited them to the state house. They can’t fix the election for Netanyahu though so they’re failures.

  19. This Lawyer is too pompous, he doesnt deserve to be one, he has an erratic behaviour that will one day drive him to blazes. Being a Lawyer doesnt mean you are everything and his practice can be cancelled. Kamuzu never tolerated such type of Lawyers to poison the masses as this one is doing, during Bingus time he would have been smoked out of business. This issue no Government Official or Security organisations of the country will comment. In the World all Countries have Intelligency agencies we all know it and intelligency operatves of friendly countries do visit each other and its not for public consumption and its surprising to see a trained Lawyer questioning the State house visitors for what purpose? The Immigration officers have completely broken the oath of Secrecy they swore to observe, this has put to risk the lives of the Israel officers visiting state house and exposing lies about them and the Immigration officers are supposed to be interdicted and arrested all of them. There is no democracy in the security of the Nation, this is putting our reputation and safety at stake. Even if this had happened in the USA, UK the Immigration Officers were to be arrested there and then. No security organ can be such childish as what has happened at our Immigration Office. Exposing the identities of classified priviledged information and exposing data of foreign visitors is a very dangerous thing, even Data protection act does not allow that, the Daily Times need to be very careful Splashing the pictures and personal Data of people without their clearance can cost the paper a fortune if the individuals affected may decide to react you will cause your organisation to be in a mess. That is why there are diplomatic Reporters who are trained to handle such issues and diplomatically seek clearance before publishing, thats why Nation Publication has not rushed into publishing this mess, they know the repercusions if this will be querried diplomatically

    2. A state house cannot enlist foreign operatives at a time a country is on the edge. This is scandalous and is similar to watergate scandal. These idiots are here for no good and that is why the government, which is led by the slowest mammal ever existed on earth, has moved at a lighting speed to transfer all top immigiration officers. As for Theu, he is a top-notch lawyer who managed to tame your infamous Kaphale during the concourt case. Hate him or love he is at the top of his game and Alfandika Kamathukuta can atest to that,,,

  20. Why has this DPP government decided to import Coronavirus?????? To kill Malawians for the sake of rigging forth coming presidential election. Baba APM is your head functioning properly???

  22. Jerusalem university lecturers come for their student. He failed last May 2019 exams. Now have come to grill him that he should not fail again in May 2020. Unfortunately dzanja dzanja lidalemba kale.

  23. is wrong to have bisness with governmrnt? u fools, even during kamuzu banda the grat man mkaqngo, we had ubale with israel even the hammers that MDF IS USING WERE BOUGHT DURING THAT TIME SO WHY NOW? ZODIAK ZINAZI TACHITANIKO MANYAZI BY ELECTION YA KU BALAKA KULI ZII ZBS SINGANENE, KOMA ANAKATI DPP YAGWA, BWENZI ATAWAFUNSA AKAMANGA KAPENA ATHINDWA ZAMANYAZI, A KAZAKO NDI A MARIA NENANIKONI KUSANVNA KWA UTM NDI MCP ANAKATI NDI DPP BWENZI KULI WOZA FRIDAY ZA MANYAZIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

    2. JUST TO LET YOU KNOW NEITHER MCP NOR MCP TOOK PART IN THOSE BY ELECTIONS.IT WAS ONLY MBKUWAKU. WHEN YOU ARE TALKING PLZ CHECK UP YOURSELF

  25. Interesting. I thought we are just about to embark on voter registration. Therefore we do not have voter registry that could be manipulated. Maybe they’re here to rig the voter registration exercise. Mmmmmm food for thought.

  26. Why were these lot not invited last year? Why now? Why not invite them after the elections are done and over with? Why the rush? Something smells bad. And yet the opposition are just idle as always and will cry foul after elections. Wake up Malawians. It’s your country and your futures you are playing with. Just complaining and doing nothing doesn’t help. You must ACT upon it !

  28. State house is a government house dziko liyenela kuziwa who is entering the state house suppose akapanga chipongwe what are you going to say

    1. hahha mwayamba liti kutsata zaku state house agalu inu?
      kuzolowela kulila basi,pangani campaign muwine osati kulila zilizose apa

    1. Amatha chani amene uja….. Be in the IT industry u will know kuti his evidence was just nothing but trash read again

      1. am surprised many seem not to know that it was trash including the five-judge panel

      2. Daud is not even among 100 best IT guys in Malawi.. Kuli amasata ngini za IT osati iye uja

        Go to skyband, Global, Airtel, Huawei, TNM and some banks mukapeza madolo Eni eni a IT

  31. aMallawi anzanga tiyeni tilikondetsetse dziko lathu. To allow someone we put in office to bring Israelis to rig our elections is treasonous! We need to have a way to deal with traitors ourselves! We just need to send word out to ‘Apprehend At-First-Sight (AAFS) and Appropriately Deal With’ both the Inviter and Invitee! so we can avert the chaos and anarchy that may arise from the action! It is the only way we can defend and nurture our nascent democracy! I am sure this is what the Israelis would do if this were to happen in their country!

    1. cowards indeed.anthuwa ndi zitsilu amwene,mmalo mopita pa ground kukamenya ka campaign yovuta anthu awavotere ali busy kufalitsa bodza kkkk atibera volume 8 ikubwera

      1. Don’t change your names mawatu pano! Mukuona ngati ndinu Malawi. Zitsiru ndizimene zimanyoza malamulo adziko,pofunitsitsa kukhalabe pa udindo, mubweletse ambiri anthu ngati amenewo, muone mmene mudzagwele chagada. Ulendo uno DPP yatha mark my words ndipo mudzathawa dziko lino.

  33. The fact that we now know about these shady visitors shows that there are loyal citizens out there who have the welfare of Malawians at heart and will try their level best to ensure the forthcoming election is not marred.

    I would suggest that Results from each polling station will have to be announced before information is sent to the so-called tally centre because electronic transmission will easily fall prey to the DPP spies who are no doubt experts in this field. In other words Malawians will know in advance how each candidate has scored at each polling centre.Can anyone tell me why this proposal is not acceptable?

    It’s when Ansah saw that her boss APM was lagging behind Chakwera that Tipex started to be used.

  35. Mmmmm Mr theu Kodi u lawyer wanu ndiwotani
    President asakhale ndi vistor Basi nkhani ndiyobera eish a Malawi

    1. Kikkkk eti inu? Mbava za DPP zikupangitsa kuti aliyese wobwela kuno azioneka ngati mbavaso eti? Idiot! Anthu ozolowela kuba samasowa amabweletsa anthu osakhala bwino mdziko lawo lomwe.

  37. Malawi opposition parties is a confused and shaky lot who are scared of their own shadow. These rumours are meant as a cover-up since they are already jittery and confused following their laughable court ruling, whereby they bought their way and won but didn’t have plan A,B or C in case scenario 1,2 or 3 occurred. To day they are still in a euphoric situation and don’t know what to do next other than holding each other by the throat fighting for leadership. Think strategically when leadership is concerned.
    It simply means when they lose again, which is an obvious, they want to say the Israelites helped DPP rig an election. For info, electronic rigging manipulation can be carried out hundreds of miles away. Ask your fake Suleiman and he will say so if he does operate sincerely. Yes, atibera volume 7 or is it 8, in the making.

  38. Leaking confidential information which you are privileged to have by virtue of your job/office is tantamount to breach of oath of secrecy which you signed before you got employed. this is total stupidity on the officers concerned if indeed they divulged such delicate info to the public. Malawi is a nation of Rumor Mongering

    1. Gentleman dpp cannot win this election on a straight line and I bet you all. Malawians are totally tired with dpp Country wide because of their deeds.You might talk this way and that but the truth is there. Kamuzu built all State Residences and can you tell us about peter Wamanga Chiyani ? Mungogona nyumba za eni ake? Govt. wants to sell them so that tione kumene mutagone . Visitors are at NIB offices. Mind you immigration otherwise if you lose again sorry for we know all of you.

    2. An Oath is not taken by putting your Country on a risk,but protecting and safeguard a very citizen in their home Country! Foolish! Idiot .

    3. I think r stupid. If info poses a threat to the public then there is no problem. That’s common sense.

      U may need a brain transplant. A chicken brain would be an improvement

  40. I don’t know what we are waiting for aMalawi anzanga. This thing of warm heart of Africa is an idiom now. To the opposition, winning the court case is not all. There are more battles to win. Mobilise those masses who attend your rallies and go into action. Peter is not larger than life and Malawi.

  41. Kodi tingopita konko bwanji akatilongosolere chomwe akuchita …nanga nthawi yonseyi tiziti sakuwononga abale…anthuwa will be paid dollars and are working day and night now damaging our country ife tizingowawonelera….choyamba ndegeyo pa airport then tisake on the ground…….

  48. We will have to go total manual system this time to avoid ghost MEC persons who manipulate results to favour their own in a computerised result management system.

  49. Can we not voice kuti abwerere kwawo? We are not ready for this drama this time around

    1. Oluza ndi oluza basi. Whether manual or not. Even if you replace all MEC Commissioners and staff with Robotic processes, you won’t t win. Mwadzionongela. Mwamva?
