Malawi police impound ‘unroadworthy’ bicycles in Mangochi
Malawi Police in late shore tourism eastern district of Mangochi have gone flat out impounding unroadworthy bicycles, saying the action is done as one way of reducing road traffic accidents on the roads especially those in the town’s streets and its peripherals.
At least 82 bicycles have been impounded this week within the lake shore town, and according to police, most of the bicycles do not have important features like blue lights, reflectors and brakes.
Operating a bicycle without such ‘parts’ is contrary to regulation 34 (3) of the Road Traffic Act., according to police
“The traffic department has registered unprecedented rise in accidents involving cars and bicycles which necessitated the campaign,” said Mangochi Police Station Public Relations Officer, Inspector Rodrick Maida.
“We specifically targeted taxi bicycles (kabanza) plying the roads without blue light, reflectors and brakes because motorists fail to see them at night,” Maida said.
“It is our belief that at the end of this exercise, which is ongoing, we will help to reduce road accidents in the district, hence protecting life and property,” Maida hoped.

Apolice akumangochi with maida your fools why kulanda njinga while kumangochi kuno ku ma unroadworthy cars ambiri but simumawalanda
Really APM really? Are you serious? Your administration is advising the police to impound bicycles belonging to the barefoot poor people because they are not road worthy!! Gawd have mercy!! What is the Police doing about the vehicles on our roads that are causing accidents and killing people every day? Come on man ,you got to be joking! Give these useless police officers a real job. put them to work where they can make a difference in this unsecure crime ridden country. Give them some work to do such as keeping our crime ridden streets safe. Leave the poor barefoot bicycles riders alone. How many accidents have been caused by these people compared cars that are allowed to be on the streets simply because some police officer was paid to leave them alone?? Your government is desperate in its attempt to make a difference but the problem is you are focusing on wrong causes of road accidents.
Nanga Ngolo muzigwirenso
Kuziwa kugwila Njinga.akuba kuwalephela kumamenyedwaso mfuti ili mmanja

Manyi amenewo sitikwafuna mukawuza mukamati zipewa ngati ovina beni
Okeey!…kenako tiona oyenda BEYA kugwidwa……..mwatani kodi?
This is being silly our police does not know what is important and when?
I would rather advice Malawi police service to first make an awareness before pulling bicycles out of the roads.Bcz Malawi is a poor country & hence those bicycles are bread winners of some families.Malawi Police should not use its force against ppl operating on the roads whether with a bicycle or what,but consider other ppl as well bcz Malawi is a poor country.I see that Malawi is still following those old stone age road laws.You go to Mozambique motorists dont even use helmets bcz a motorbike is like a bicycle & is used as kabaza.Unlike in Malawi where you see the police busy bicycles instead of dealing with important issues like Robberies its very ridiculous to the outside world.Especially this time of insecurity where foreign investors are scared to open their businesses & those operating planning to leave the country.
Apolice kumeneko ndiye kuso chochita thats why you impricating things in malawi Big bank robbers they are from police and many more leave themwhy dont you fix you problem people are driving cars without even COF .or liecence you do nothing shame on you
Zopusa basi kungofuna kusokoneza anthu osauka kale
Mbava zikukukanikani kudelera a njinga eti. Anthuwo ndalama alibe zogulira tachabechabe mwatchulato……anaba ndalama aboma ndi mtsogoleri nde tikagula bwanji ma brake……mwasowadi chochita eti…
Kodi ndi anjinga okha?amatola amadutsa bwanji?koma pankachitika ngozi nde kumutsekera dalaivala munamvapo kuti driver wonyamula matola wamangidwa.january wavutadi bwezani njingazo
This is extremely nonsense! Is this what they were employed for?
Alande aphokonyole a police mndani.Ali ndi ma Land Cruser opanda ma head lamp kumbuyonso no lights.Konzani kaye zanuzo musanayambe kulanda za ena.I doubt of their vehicles go for Road worthness test for COF.
Just money making. Rubbish
Mountain bikes are sold without mud guards and blue lights. May the law enforcers first check with the sellers before punishing the user. Komanso akabaza mukumawonjeza njinga yopanda buleki chifukwa chiyani?
Mukalandenso za mseu wa Balaka, Zomba sasuntha mu Mseu galimoto ingakule maka oro akumva vuvuzerayo kkk. Mudzalira dzitoliro za kabaza mmimba mwanumo.
Were these reminded of the road rules and regulations in advance. Were they told of impending such campaign and the penalties for each crime?
Njingazo sizikuoneka ngati za kabanza bwa? Hope you are doing this in good faith. I think you are supposed to say ngozi zikuchitika chifukwa alibe zoyeneleza ngati ma brakes ndi zinazo. Koma osati usiku amagalimoto sakuwaona ayi ndi nkhani inayo chifukwa naonso magalimoto ambiri alibe nyali zogwilisila ntchito usiku. So what next with all those bikes in your offices? Are you going to give them back to their owners after producing what you want them to have because some of us are interested parties therefore we want to know what happens next. Nanga magalimoto ambirimbiri ku mangochiko opanda number plates, misonkho, mathayala akutha, petrol tank ndi 2 litres ya sobo bottle, no wipers the list is so long what are you going to do with them? We want to see these vehicles in your offices as well. If justice is to be done. On humanitarian grounds did you warn these guys before or you just thought of taking their bikes in this way. Chonde chenjerani anthu awa ndi osowa, ovutika ndiponso atha kuku pwetekani chifukwa this is where they get their daily bread buttered from. Put yourself in their shoes. Something should be done soon otherwise mavuto akula malo mokuti muwachepese.

Not newsworthy njinga? What for police meadows chochita
Bring back civics lesson. People have stopped using zebra crossing they just pass every where. They have to know that these have legal complications after accidents. You cannot be compasated if the car hit you when you are not supposed to cross the road. Wake up Malawi
WELL done Police! I hope all police regions will follow. Each bicycle should have reflectors and brakes at least!
zandimvetsa chisoni zimenezo.
Osakalanda magalimoto okhala ndi nambala za Joni kwa chaka zikuyenda pa mseu. Mpakana njinga?
