Malawi VP Chilima claims State plot his assassination, Chakwera and 3 others
The country’s estranged Vice-President Saulos Chilima has alleged that hat some governing Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) functionaries and Cabinet ministers met and agreed a plot to have him assassinated together with Malawi Congress Party (MCP) presidential candidate Lazarus Chakwera and three other people before the July 02 fresh presidential poll.
Chilima made the claims when he spoke to deliver his eulogies at the funeral ceremony of two family members – Ayiles Tambala and her 11-year-old son Shrinuran – who died after they were petro-bombed as they slept in a UTM Party office in Lilongwe on Monday.
The two victims were buried next to each other in Lilongwe amid sombre mood.
In his remarks, the Vice-President, who has partnered with MCP president Lazarus Chakwera in the fresh presidential election, alleged that his party’s intelligence shows that the political violence is State sponsored.
He maintained that ministers and DPP top brass met and agreed to finance violence against opposition political party supporters and that the meeting also agreed to kill Chilima and also eliminate the MCP torch bearer.
Chilima further claimed those marked for assassination include leader of Citizens for Transformation movement Timothy Mtambo, MCP IT expert Daud Suleman and chairperson of Human Rights Defenders Coalition (HRDC) Gift Trapence.
He claimed the assassinations plots symbolises “cowardice of those in positions of power” as Malawians are heading for the July 2 fresh election.
Chilima, who is also UTM Party president, has since challenged Cabinet to prove him wrong.
“I challenged them to refute this when I addressed the news conference. They have not made any rebuttal. I maintain refute this if it’s not true,” said Chilima.
“Go, tell them, record me and give them unedited speech I am making,” he added.
Chilima said: “If the regime thugs succeed to kill me, take my body and bury me at the gates of State House.”
But government spokesman Mark Botomani said there was no assassination plot.
Speaking at the funeral, Chakwera condemned those who petrol-bombed the UTM office while people slept inside.
He called for the police to investigate the incident and ensure that the perpetrators face the law.
“In this country, people are suffering and they are dying because of lack of government care and concern,” he said.
“Our hospitals have turned out to be places to which people go to with little hope of recovering,” he added.
MCP Lilongwe South East member of parliament Nancy Tembo said the people in the area were heartbroken, saying “may the arsonists themselves meet tragic ends.”
The Tambala family lived in the backroom of the UTM Party Lilongwe District office reportedly for free.
Bed-ridden head of the family, Selemani Tambala worked as a security guard at the office premises.

Ayelekeze aone! Kupha anthu athu statue amenewa ife 62% ya ma electorate tikutani? Chilima and Chakwera together got more than 50% of the vote in 2019…people are behind you good leaders so the one planning these assassinations should think more than twice….!! Timuonetsa nyekhwe!!
Chilima was that the right place to present your allegations? You mean the deaths of the victims were not important but your life. Am sure Chilima engineered the petrol bomb so that he can use the situation for public sympathy. But you should know that the most important person now Chakwela, iwe ndiwe wapa kaliyala.
Chilima itakuphe ndi MCP basop kumene walowako
Izinso ndiye za chamba. Ndizimene zikusokoneza anthu muma location nimu. Anthu akuphana chifukwa cha ma statement aziii ngati amenewa. Plz desist from making these unfounded , irresponsible utterances. If they wanted to kill u, they cloud have done it with ease.
The foolishness of Chilima has no bounds. If DPP wanted to kill you, they would have killed you already. FOTSEKI
Foseki
They tried to kill others like Mtambo and managed to kill Njaunji
Chilima is an arrogant power hungry power grabber. He doesn’t realise that his plot is known. He will rot waiting. No power for childish Chilima.
This power hungry power grabber Chilima likes to make outrageous and unsubstantiated claims. Chilima is a proven liar we all know that. But looks like Rev Chakwera cannot see that Chilima is already acting as if he is the leader of the Alliance, and Rev Chakwera is a deputy to Chilima. Chilima look like he is the boss of Rev Chakwera.
This is very worrying for it’s plain to see that Chilima is only going into the alliance to destroy Rev Chakwera. From day one Chilima’s focus will be on how to increase his support base and how to destroy Rev Chakwra and MCP before the following elections in 2025.
Sorry Bwana Chakwera and MCP you have let a hyena into your house, this Chilima is a hyena be very careful. Remember my words Rev Chakwera “Those who ride on the back of a Hyena end up inside the Hyena”
Get well soon cadet
Mumafuna akanene kwa ndani? Dausi?
As stupid and empty as this DPP government is, i wouldn’t put it past them. They are murdering babies and women already, the president even supports rape of girls by DPP police officers.

Why petrol bomb and killing people. We know you and one day If this continues Malawi will burn. The sad part is is Akapokola are doing nothing because the order came from Above.
Let me warn you if you kill Chilima then just know Mbuyanu will end up like Savimbi
Malawians should be more afraid of politicians who will do anything to get into power. Politicians who can massacre their own folks for propaganda’s sake. It’s a shame how desperate humanity is for power. I am weary of the current crop of politicians. Too ambitious and too greedy. Oh yes both UTM/MCP and DPP/UDF.
There is none good among these guys. All of them rotten. Why killing innocent souls and then deliver eulogies for them. Dont u folks have a soul. Please it’s disgusting.
DPP is a terrorist political party that will cling to power by all means necessary. It is a political party of Southerners who have succumbed to the Lomwe kingdom. Peter Hitler Mutharika is the king. In Malawi we don’t want kings or domination by one region/tribe but rotational presidency among our three provinces, Southern region, Central region, and Northern region. It is the time Malawians have to move with time rather than believing in medieval ideologies. Tribalism, regionalism, and other “isms” are the recipe for civil wars that we see all over Africa. We definitely don’t need pensioners like Peter Hitler Mutharika to run our country. I call upon all Malawians to go to the street and demand Peter Hitler Mutharika to go to the old age home
Generalising that all from the south are dpp is bad
Kupusa sikuona sukulu ,sikuona mabvalidwe , sikuona maonekedwe ,sindimadziwa kuti nkulu uyu ndi opusa chonchi ,anthu akufuna kukupha umakanena kwa anamalira a banja loferedwa pamene akulira maliro iwe ukubwera vwapa vwapa vwapa ndi ndevu zako zoyera umvekere inenso anthu akufuna kundipha kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk shupiti ,ukufuna anthu akumvere chisoni ,imfa imeneyo yaku 22 eni ake chilungamo akuchidziwa okha ,chilimanso akunama kuti anthu akufuna kumupha chilungamo chuli mkati mwake .
A saulos penatu kumayankhula zopusa ngati izi is very bad. May be you were coming from ACRES and you were intoxicated as usual
Chibwano ngati ncimba. Who cam waste time to kill you. Watchout
Why not report to the police.We told you galu iwe that you have joined a wrong camp. If they wanted they would have killed you when you formed your foolish party. It’s you who wanted to kill Peter. Komadi wapakariara amavuta kufuna kuti aimbe bell. The drama you made with KALINDO you are doing it in mcp
Mcp this guy will mess up your strong party. I never heard Chakwera making such allegations. Mutu ngati njerwa yosaocha. Uoona Chaka Chino. You think Mia and MANGANYA are happy with you. U you are now afraid of Atupele who is much younger than you
We young people now wants a young man like Atupele to lead us in future not you idiot 47 years very soon you will be 50
Hmmmmmm kkkkkkkk Komatu Chilima penapake muzikhalako serious. Why is being a cry baby your most powerful weapon? Who feeds you with these stupid “intelijense”? Nsundwe boys? or you tap them from facebook? I mean, do you mean the whole cabinet can sit down, agenda: Tiphe Chilima. kkkkkk koma guys. 1. No regime in this era can plot to kill the whole opposition (It was only the party you have joined, MCP which managed to do that) 2. Chilima you are a non entity and if some losers lie to you that you are important in their lives, (just becoz munali a MD a Airtel) you are not to the majority of us. 3. It is with such careless, baseless accusations that ignite hatred among ppo and perhaps even civil war 4. You have been a pathological liar Chilima all along in your effort to buy sympathy from the GP and convince some that you are relevant. If you want to win the presidency, do it smartly, with a clear agenda that will benefit Malawians, but not thru falsehood, pretence and public sympathy and lies. Please, SHUT IT!!!
mcp is the only party to have ever assassinated 3 cabinet ministers and 1 MP. if they take power and chilima dares to misbehave chances are high that they will attempt to assassinate their own VP.
rubbish. this is a democratic nation so there was no need for your supporters to block and stone the president yesterday. it was wrong and unacceptable. dpp supporters behaved well and let mcp president pass through Blantyre without problems but you foolish supporters of mcp and utm think blocking apm is sign that dpp is unpopular but you are mistaken. dpp is still the fron runner in the coming election
Malawians we should not just look when things are taking wrong way,If you kill our leaders , DPP leaders will die too we got two hands too, what you can do we can do ,we are watching the police officers in Malawi.
Your allegations Rt. Hon have already been made against you by yoir current boss therefore you are parroting what has already been in the public domain. No government or party can dream of whipping the opposition in such a way because it’s a recipe to anarchy and civil wars. Now if some people could be crude and allege that you deliberately bomb your offices for political expediency trying to curve aome politicàl ypamthy in the aftermath of Maundwe incident where a policeman of Muslim faith was killed by your sypathysiers. Would you love it that thwory. Definitely its a no. Fire bombing was perfected byy your bedfellows on international scale you are too young ask them about Ati Mpakat how he died there are experts in tumbuka nkhwanda. You have failed in your personal mission to state house and joined another old man, no problem but let’s discuss issue to build Malawi if at all you love it. Leave crap yo crap minded bufgona unless you want to join that league
To William Chirwa. I don’t know what point are you trying to deliver because your writing doesn’t make any sense. We can’t comprehend what the fuck you’re trying to say. You jump from one point to another and there is no connection to make what your writing flow smoothly. You’re a true DPP supporter because most of them have fake degrees and doctorates. One of them is Ben Phiri. KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK, baboons.
And you what point are you putting across. Take some of these allegations by the opposition especially Chilima with a pinch of salt. And what has fake degrees got to do with plotting to kill someone. People we are all Malawians first and supporters second.
That’s besides the point
What a Childish/kindergarten comment. Don’t compare goats with cattle. Unlike UTM, we know how ruthless DPP is, from incidents like Chasowa, Njauju, Lule, albinos etc, etc. Please note that innocent lives were lost in DPP’s quest to keep APM misruling Malawi. Shameee
Iwee Soulos take that issue to court if you are serious ..how can a whole cabinet sit and plot…
Its never like that were more than 3people sit and discus an assisination plot.Even in a movie
Plz be a gently man in your spèech .
otherwise youre not well in your head…..
Who would want to kill a non-entity like You? Fotseki
Foseki
It’s Mbuyanu Uja he already killed many people already bombed cars before for UTM.
But if this continues Tizabwezela and Mbuyanu will end up like Savimbi
He who alleges should prove. Dr. Chilima has the right to allege that some people in society are planning to eliminate him plus other individuals. In life committing or plotting to commit a crime is chargeable; likewise if someone alleges that you intend to do as alleged, but you prove that it is not true, the person making the allegations with no concrete evidence can also be charged. The beauty of the law is that it serves equally on both sides. Meanwhile, it is up to the purported alleged side to defend their case and again Chilima has to take a bold step to go ahead and sue the otherside for redress in order to have a fair and safe Malawi.
Foseki
The DPP shit government is petrol bombing killing people and Akapokola are doing nothing because they have been given orders from above
Very shameful of DPP killing innocent souls .
Am totally pissed off with this DPP / UDF hooligans including their visionless Cadet Dausi ,who want to pretend as if he is clever and know it all but in actual sense he is myopic minister and full of hatred and gangsterism.
Thats A Nsundwe counterpart
take it or leave it
Kkkkkkkk
mukuseka pamene adzanu ali pachisoni aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa zodabwitsa ndithu afulu ndinu a dpp dziko lili mmanja mwanu
There is light at the end of the tunnel and yes we will lose a few comrades before D day the 2nd of July but on the morning after there shall be joy for everyone.
On the morning after, Malawians will live in peace again and there shall be no chewa, no lomwe, no tumbuka, no Sena, no nkhonde, no nyakyusa, no Yao, no Tonga, because we shall all be known by one national accolade, Malawians.
Those who are perpetrating violence now shall live in shame for
the rest of their lives.
It is unfounded allegations like these that start civil wars.
Which police can investigate this? The cadet police? I doubt it. They dont mind as long as its the member of the opposition. They could have rushed to make arbitrary arrest if it were dpp cadet or official who has been killed.
they are not unfounded allegations bwanji ku boma sakususa
