Malawi police hunt Ngalande, Kunkuyu for Ndirande violence: 5 arrested over stoning of presidential convoy

May 7, 2020 Zawadi Chilunga - Nyasa Times 89 Comments

Malawi Police are hunting for UTM Party’s Louis Ngalande and Malawi Congress Party (MCP) director of campaign  Moses Kumkuyu for organizing violence in Ndirande Township in Blantyre in which some youths pelted stones at vehicles that made part of the convoy on President Peter Mutharika.

President Mutharika and his runningmate Atupele Muluzi toured the township after presentation of nomination papers for the fresh elections set for July 2020.
While in the township, some youths pelted stones at vehicles of political party officials  that were on the presidential convoy.
Police arrested five youths who have revealed that they had been K1,000 each by Ngalande and Kumkuyu to cause havoc.
One of the arrested youths told the police that Kumkuyu and Ngalande had hired 39 of them.
“We were 39 of us. We were told to mobilise at least 100 women. But we only managed to find 11 vocal women. We were paid K1,000 each. They told us to be chanting anti-DPP slogans while they filmed us on their mobile phones”, Zimba said.
He added: “They wanted us to create a situation where it would look like Ndirande doesn’t want the alliance”.
Police have since said they are conducting further investigations and will bring everyone involved to book.
Ndirande is the stronghold for DPP and UDF and, in organizing this violence, Kumkuyu and Ngalande may have thought they could undermine the popularity of the two parties there.

  1. The same old tricks for the same old dogs Dausi and his DPP at it again to fool malawiaans

  2. Fellow Malawians, I saw the video clips yesterday evening. The police must be ashamed to be part of this misinformation.

    If what the boy said was true – I honestly believe it is a lie – then those boys and women were in minority. From a quick view one sees more than one hundred people booing. So 39+11 which is 50 is very little compared to what was seen.
    Please give us the results of the arson at UTM offices I have Area 23 Lilongwe now! Tisanakalipe!

  3. My massage to Police Department is, this police is for malawians not for Cadets muli mu ziko muno kuteteza amalawi osati kuteteza ma cadets only kumene mupanga inu ndikulephera ntchito and to say the fact police panopa mugwira ntchito ngati a security a dpp not for all malawians i am not supporting any political party but the way police department is working in our country it shows kuti akumateteza enawa koma enawa alibe ntchito this is not good at all pompano ku ndilande komweko Cadet anaphwanya zida za MEC and NRB nothing happens to them ku chilimba they did the same and the well wishers munthuyo anamugwira kumupitisa ku police with the same day munthuyo anamasulidwa mumanja mwa a police kopanda mlandu koma zomwe mupangazi ndi zibwana zana lomweli ku lilongwe kwaphwanyidwa komaso kuotcha miyoyo ya anthu ku UTM office but nothing happened and they are still investigating but yesterday afternoon anthu aku ndilande akuwiza president koma mukuti anthuwo apezeka kale but why your doing this to our own lovely country malawi yi ndiyekhayo ndipo cmuzapeza malawi wina wapadera a part from this Malawi we are all one people guys tisazuze ena poti asogoleli akutiuza zoyipaziiii please my fellow malawians mulungu anatipasa ubongo tiyeni tiugwirise ntchito mwanzeru and palibe chamuyaya siku lina DPP izatha muzaona moyo kuwawa muzada asogoleli pomwe kuyipa mukuyamba nokhaaa and mulungu kumwamba aliko ka moyo ka ndkanthawi yochepa.

  4. MCP and UTM presented their papers without any disturbances. Why was there this disturbance when DPP and UDF were presenting their papers. It is Chakwera and Chilima who sent the Ndirande thugs

    1. Did DPP & UDF tell Malawians kuti adutsa ku Ndirande for Chakwera and Chilima to send people to disturb? Pano mukuti ndirande thugs? Amakatani kwa ma thugs then?

    1. Kod a police mumafufuza khan Zambili imodz bwanji???? There are alot if scandals that are happening out here kma u r much focusing on DPP issues…kapena znaz zopanda ntchito et?

  6. NIB please tell the president the brutal facts about his popularity. The booing in Ndirande is just the start of what he will face in most parts of the country.

  7. How about arresting those who torched the UTM offices in Lilongwe that has resulted in the loss of three lives?????

  9. Guys if Kunkuyu and Ngalande really did this, these guys will spoil MCP and Chakwera should be watchful with such type of acts. MCP and UTM were in Blantyre for the same nomination issue but I have never heard that their convoy was stoned somewhere which is a positive step to our democracy and freedom of assembly. It is not good to be fighting as Malawi is one and leaders should stop and condemn this.Every party has a stronghold at where it comes from. MCP has a stronghold in many districts in the central region the fact that you cannot deny and DPP in the south you can’t change it so easily but it is possible to attract some from these areas. Ngalande and Kunkuyu were part of DPP and should not cause chaos in MCP with an aim to call favors upon themselves.

  10. Mwaiwala zomwe mumapanga pamakampeni achisankho cha 2019 kuNchinji,madela ena akumidzi kwa Lilongwe,kasungu ndinchitidwe.Mwapha adpp osakusapotani ndikuonga zinthu zawo.Mumati akummwela azipita kwapusitsa.Kodilelo mavoti awo simuwafuna ZITSILU ZA ANTHU

  12. Bodza bodza mungofuna kugwira powerful of UTM and MCP leaders, you are playing with 🔥. Poverty is the source of leaders u need to end poverty not fighting opposition leaders.The citizens of Malawi shall govern the country.Change is coming with police and soldiers to your side still change is coming in two ways.

  13. Ndilande yense uyu watembenukilaaatu.
    Wabwelela komwe anachokela UDF/DPP
    Akuti ndiyeyawotu kuwneko
    Madela omwe adakukhosi ndi kutsogolela kwa LAZALO GOLOGOLO WAKWELA Anthu anafunitsitsa CHILIMA
    MONGA NDIKUNAMA

  16. times, its not youths chi mdala chachikulu achinyetsa dzulo ,,
    it was sad seeing mwala ukufikira mzimayi atabereka mwana kumbuyo,,, wtf

    1. Tiyeni nazo tikabwenzela musamati ndife masavage si apa mukuti zinali bwino

  17. I doubt the authenticity of this report, this is clearly another propaganda by dpp, those youth saying this are probably cadets, look I have seen the videos and you cant tell me the multitude of the people that were there chanting against APM were inspired by a couple of youth to cause havoc, no way, Malawi has woken up, a Malawi zafuna zopusa, if at all you are really concerned about citizen’s welfare and wellbeing go and arrest those who have murdered a family in LLz after petro bombing UTM offices, go and arrest those Nsudwe rapists, go and arrest albino killers, go and arrest all the corrupt thieves in the govt………..zausiru basi

  18. THERE IS NO MORE POLICE IN MALAWI ” JUST A BUNCH OF DPP CADET THUGS AND THIEVES” Period.

  19. A president you are too soft with these kids! I know you are human rights lawyer but this too much

    2. Who told you that mutharika is a human rights lawyer? Why does it seem as if all cadets are headless?

  20. Police are hunting Ngalande and Kunkuyu but they can’t hunt those who torched UTM and petrol bombed the innocent family of 8 in Lilongwe.The police of today’s as long as something is associated by DPP/UDF to them these are angels.

    2. Becoz these twoo are also the master minders of that situation too.
      So that you and me believe that its DPP.

    3. That was an inside Job…. I always say that expect many violence right now…… So many blame games… last month or earlier this month was UTM vehicle has been petrol bombed blablahbla….. To day UTM Vehicle has been petrol bombed…… Cmon people this shit ain’t real the OPPOSITIONS are trying to paint a bad picture to the rulling party. If it is about Kunkuyu that is his tactics of painting bad pictures on his opponents since he ventured into politics back in 2009 where he fooled people kuti anthu (Jimmy Banda)amuchita chipongwe atazichita ekha kukazisiya ku tea ku Thyolo later fans mkumazazindikila kuti inali move yake. That’s why anagwa nayo anamutulukila kuti ndi Zoba. Feeling those people that are losing their lives in the name of politics….. Ku office’ko kunali chani chomwe angaotcheleko? Penapake anthu inu tazikhalani ndi second thought before you react…..

  21. Indeed if they did that they must face the law but you must also arrest and prosecute Dpp thugs who committed an arson on utm office in Lilongwe killing atleast two people in process.

    1. Wait until investigations are made to establish whether there was no fuel in the house

      1. they will be no investigations cause the senders of the criminals work at the top and its utm! mangochi utm cars 2019 burnings up to now still waiting for investigations to see if the cars had gas in the fuel tanks in them!!! dumb ass

  23. GO AND ARREST THOSE WHO TORCHED THE UTM OFFICE AND LEFT THE FAMILY WITH BURNS AND MEMBERS LOOSE THEIR LIVES

    3. police was called to the scene.no police turned up except time later when they showed up to clear the up the burned tires.

      SAD

  25. I don’t think that is true!! The president has an intelligent organization that could have detected this prior to thale occurrence. If that is true then the NIB is a doom and a threat to the president. How can organized activity come to pass while intelligent is there.
    Nyasatimes, it have shown that you are now used by posting issues that can demote others. The issue is anthu afikapo and zikuoneka kuti zangoyamba.

  27. aMalawi anatseguka maso. Blame it on those innocent lads, but I can assure you that it won’t yield anything. You are fighting Malawians. You are fighting good people and we will win this time

  28. One reputable man of God prophesied this last year…and concluded by advising malawians to accept God’s will..the wise said.the choice is yours…God’s will must be accepted…Don’t fight God’s battles….

  29. Tactics being applied by UTM/MCP is substandard. Who can waste his/her resources to go and attack such a dilapidated structure instead of attacking strategic targets?
    To know that this is an in house plot, soon as their objective was achieved, Arafat Hamdan had the audacity to take to the podium to announce that his life and that of his colleagues is in danger. Who would want to kill an already dead person (politically)? If people wanted to kill him, he would have been eliminated by now when you look at his carelessness with his manhood when it comes to being promiscuous. Hamdan is running out of ideas hence his frantic jostling helter skelter like a confronted and cornered rabbit. Shame on him. As if that was not enough, he unashamedly organised his criminals to go and attack a presidential convoy in Ndirande; seriously? When him and his friend left Mount Soche hotel the previous day, nobody even raised a finger. But now he has all the guts to attack a fellow politician, for what? At times one would wonder if this dude is indeed educated. Because education goes together with discipline and good conduct in society, mainly when one is vying for leadership. Can such a person be entrusted with anything? Even the Bible discourages that type of behaviour. Really because of leadership, Hamdan goes so low up to the point of killing his own people, who are you going to lead if you start killing your own followers? His secretary was even intoxicated with crime up to the point of getting confused that it was her own people who undressed a police officer during one of their escapades in Lilongwe. She deliberately pushes the blame to DPP and yet it was her criminals led by Mtambo. In all this, we ask the Almighty God to forgive you, and possibly give you humane sense before more lives are lost.

      1. Ndirande ndikuchimake cha DPP and UDF make my words muzaone ma vote omwe azatuluke

    3. Jason Mlowoka you are so dull and brainless because whatever you are saying here is nonsense. The one you are calling Hamdan is a million miles ahead of you. What do you have to show for? Not even a pair of jeans worth a penny. You are a useless person whose vendetta is to castigate the leaders who can stir our beloved country from the jaws of poverty. The opposition is fighting to bring Malawi from the abyss of poverty. Where in the world did you here something phony like what you are saying? You will be the first one to enjoy the fruits of what we are fighting for here. The middle class in non existent in Malawi hence the need to claim back the country from this ntchona who has a retirement house in New Jersey. He will leave you uli mbuu kutuwa while he goes and retires in the USA. What do you have to show for? You dont even have a shack in Mtandire. Fotseki!

  31. Anthu oyipa mtima. Kumkuyu akhale bussy ndi inuyo seriously osachita manyazi anthu akukukanani okha opanda wa opposition kulowelera. Lero mwati muwuze azitola nkhani opanda mayinawa alembe maboza alembawa.. Useless police.

  33. So the people we see in this picture allowed few individuals paid by opposition to cause trouble? Who in their right mind could have done that? Ndirande took you by surprise and now you have to find a scapegoat. It could be those who vowed not to see Chisale in Blantyre.

  35. Shame on MCP and UTM. Shame on Chakwera and Chilima. They are circulating a video where some boys and a few women are chanting anti-DPP songs.

  37. Mzomera anthu atopa ndikuba kwanu musanamepi apo dzulo amayika mmanda mmayi ndi mwana wake mwawaotcha ndi petro bomb 💣 ku Lilongwe manyazi mulibe inu.Pano mukufuna ziwembu zoti muthane ndiokutsusani ndimmene muthere afiti inu 👿👿👿👿👿

  38. MCP and UTM Nsundwe Boys were sent to disrupt DPP and UDF parade. Just lock the master minds Kumkuyu and Ngalande. Get their masters too.

  39. And so, MCP and UTM had a peaceful presentation of papers yesterday. DPP never disrupted their day. Today, CHakwera and Chilima have sent thugs to disrupt DPP parade.

  40. Kumkuyu and Ngalande should be sent to jail. They were instructed by Chakwera and Chilima to disrupt DPP and UDF parade. Lock them up.

  41. MCP and UTM have caused violence since last year. They have destroyed property and businesses. These thugs need to be locked up.

  42. With security detail ya president then fail to stop violence caused by only 39 people? Now you tell us security of the president is compromised. Just accept the reality on the ground please. Don’t frame up innocent people.

  43. I was told they were sent from Ben Phiri’s camp, angered by not being picked up as running mate

      1. ndipo ndi zinthu zomvetsa chisoni kupha anthu osalakwa chifukwa cha ndale ndipo reporter walemba zabodzayi mulungu amuyendele mwapadeledela kod kukuwizidwa amakuwa kuja mkwa anthu 39 kumene kuja gulu lonse lili pa pic po ndila anthu 39 okha manyazi akugwileni ndipo ndikupempheni muzilemba zoona zokhazokha ngat dziko lotsogoza mulungu patsogolo shame!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  45. What a sad ending to a brand that was once a leading online media house. Destroyed by propaganda .

  48. Shame, people are actually paid to hate apm… Reformed mcp is same as old mcp, this party can’t change. After 31years of nyakula, ng’ona ku Mt view and kulanda akazi aeni komanso nkhuku now you have sunk very low. Hiring ma haters paying them peanuts. Only fools can believe mcp has reformed.

    1. Nawe iwe uchitsiru ichita kuzionetsera. Only an embicile can believe this shit. Those are coached responses by those youths. You think we can believe anything Shane on your plastic face. This govt is not wanted full stop. Leave Ngalande and Kunkuyu alone.

    2. I thought you were saying one should not be getting pay for hating DPP as it should be automatic !! But I was wrong !! 😂😂

    5. And they are the same alliance team that torched utm office in Lilongwe 22 to appear as it is DPP. Very bad people. May the LORD God punish you.

    6. You must be the most stupid person that has ever lived. Do you really believe that what we saw in Ndirande today was a result of “few” paid up trouble makers? And the way you have written your comment one can easily see that you have a mosquito brain.

    7. These are allegations made against the would be culprits. Let justice be exercised, due investigations carried out, all the processes adhered to. If found guilty, let them face the music and serve the desired punishment. Leniency should not be applied. Actually, Ngalande is the same person who was associated with the demise of Chasowa together with his colleague Masangwi. Kunkuyu should know better since he was once a cabinet member who should be in the forefront leading by examples. These are criminals causing havoc in the country all in the name of politics and yet the wrong people are being accused and blamed.

      Surprisingly, you kill your own people, phone the police who all along were victims of your evil plans just to inflict more harm to them as if the one policeman you killed at Nsundwe is not enough.

      Unfortunately, wherever these criminals are taken to court if found guilty, the compromised judiciary will set them free because their objectives are the same. But mark my words, one day you will gnash your teeth when they begin to unleash mayhem in your own backyard.

  49. Inu Dpp ndi UDF ndi ma thugs, arrest people or not you are going to be disgraced in the upcoming elections.

  50. .within this period they have known it’s Kunkuyu and friend yet it has taken 3 days not knowing who petrol bombed people in LL. Suppose maw court linens kuti kulibe President mutani ? Shame on Police

  51. Anthuwa ngoyipa, nchifukwa chache ayamba kuvulaza ma suporters awo omwe kuti aziwoneka ngati ndi a DPP.
    Anthu oyipa inu mwaphesa anthu osalakwa, mulandila yankho pa 2 July

  52. DPP tasted sour grapes in their own back yard.

    Where was Dausi with his secret agent not to notify the president about the predicament lies ahead ?

    This shows weaknesses on part of security agent to depict this violence. Muntharika could have been cornered today.

    Next time try to sense the situation on the ground b4 u let the president visit the area.
    Otherwise u have failed your responsibility to protect and prevent this from happening

    1. Where was Chilima not to notify those who were petrol bombed? These were paid up people by MCP and UTM. Let them be sent to jail.

    2. This is DPP gymmic! & Their own cadets under the pretext of being sent by MCP/UTM. Dausi is behind this game. Stratigy to turnish UTMCP.
