Malawi women politicians in united front against political terror: Demand arrest of thugs
Wife to State vice-president Mrs Mary Chilima has told women politicians to protect each other in the wake of attacks by Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) youth cadets against the opposition as women politicians are demanding the immediate arrest of the regime thugs.
Mary Chilima said this on Tuesday morning when she attended a crisis meeting of women politicians in Lilongwe organized after a women member of the UTM Party was stripped naked in Mangochi.
“We need to help each other, we need to protect each other during this campaign time,” said Chilima, whose husband, Saulos Kalus Chilima, is the president of the UTM.
Also present at the meeting was Veronica Kapanga, a UTM member who was stripped naked by the DPP thugs in Mangochi on Sunday.
Women politicians from all political parties, including the UTM, the Malawi Congress Party (MCP), the DPP, the Peoples Party (PP) and the United Democratic Front (UDF) attended the meeting in their party regalia and spoke the same language of non-violence against the women politicians.
Leader of Women Caucus in parliament Jessie Kabwila has given the government seven days to respond to their concerns, saying failure which they would match to the Office of the President and Cabinet, the police headquarters and the Malawi Human Rights Commission (MHRC) offices.
The Malawi Women in Politics are demanding an immediate arrest of the DPP thugs.
“President Peter Mutharika should live up to his responsibility as a He for She Champion,” said Kabwila.
The stripping of the UTM of her clothes followed a weekend of terror by the DPP terrorists
The use of terror by the DPP has been severely condemned by opposition politicians as well as Public Affairs Committee and human rights activists.
Since the beginning of this year, suspected DPP cadets have assaulted UTM Party director of youth Bon Kalindo in Mulanje, harassed and forced party supporters to undress in Mangochi at the weekend, and beat up Malawi Congress Party (MCP) supporter Edward Govati in Blantyre.
As the news conference came to an end and the women were dispersing, women clad in DPP regalia stormed the place where the women politicians were addressing reporters.
It was not immediately known the DPP women wanted to physically attack the fellow women politicians but this is a sign that Malawi is heading towards a rough road to the May 21 highly contentious and unpredictable polls.
Meanwhile, the Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) and Malawi Law Society (MLS) have warned that failure to address the issue of violence could have a negative bearing on the outcome of the elections.
Further, MLS has questioned why Malawi Police Service (MPS), whose officers sometimes are within the vicinity of the heinous acts and appear in video clips of some incidents, does not bring the perpetrators to book.

Joyce Banda thought campaigning was more important than showing solidarity with other women ……..ayayaya!
Aja Amati ndi a champion a women’s rights Abiti Mtila Joyce Banda anali kuti Lero. She thinks this is below her. Yet she is the first one to run to white people and claim she is a champion ……………please! She s such an opportunist
Gertrude Mutharika, Joyce Banda , Mrs Chakwera decided not show solidarity ?????? Hmmmmmmmmmmm! We are watching
Pajatu Mr Ziboda Maliseche anthu amati ndi a ujenitu…
That’s why amadana ndi azimayi kwambiri…
They were rumours pajatu kuti Ankayenda ndi Ben apparently.
Getu is just a marriage of convenience after he was told kuti people where questioning his sexuality .
I imagine it was my mother stripped off her clothes in my presence. I would kill someone.
I personally know the guys who harassed the woman this week.The man who was also asked to be putting on and take off utm clothing is a shadow mp for mangochi lutende.I was actually in company with these pple.If the police are to respond to women’s concerns then let the police come to me…i will show makwawo onsewo.Am also a shodow mp for utm ndiulula basi
JJ Mbewe the Pathfinder, I feel so sorry that you are so daft that you can’t see what is happening even from the closest range. All you know is to defend the thugs. Why don’t the police arrest the suspects so that the truth is known? If the people involved in these criminal acts are from the same parties that attack the followers, the police should have done something to expose the dirty tricks. As long as nothing is happening to the suspects, the truth of the matter is that they are DPP cadets – period. Your argument has no substance. Tell us who beat up Kalindo, tell us who burnt the UTM vehicle in Mangochi and tell us who beat up the MCP supporter in Blantyre? You will die like a dog when you very well know that the car that you are racing against in the opposite direction while barking attempting to bite it will kill you and then when it runs over you the barking stops on the road.
Iwenso nde mbuzi yeniyeni, don’t you see kuti this is drama staged by UTM, directed by their strategist Michael Usi
With dpp cadets as actors?
pathfinder ndi mbuzi nzako heavyduty u r both the most stupid malawians, its obivious u are eating our tax money from dpp, but not for long, we know this is the only u can make money so after 21may you fools are going to suffer, we already know who u r
So Mary Chilima is a politician?
She is a woman with good sense showing solidarity with other women, her participation shows how much she cares about women. And womens issues, The question you should be asking is where was JB, Mrs Chakwera and Gertrude Mutharika, ????
Plz don’t the president. He ie the one sending them. Now they are more powerful than the president. Plz whoever take over the next should punish all including the inspector general,minister of home security and president.
May ask Joyce Banda, what did u do to people organise an assassination on you. Pls u have the police report on the accident. Let the world know
Last paragraph, police can’t do anything to Dpp terrorists because cadets Dausi and Mchacha are their political bosses
On behalf of thousands of Malawians in diaspora,I proudly congratulate our women for their love of their country.Indeed,you have impressed not only Malawians where ever they are but also internationally BRAVO MBUMBA ZA MALAWI.You are no longer MBUMBA ZA KAMUZU that was stupidity and shameful for the whole fuku la a Malawi.You were not born to be slaves of mchona Hastings Banda and refuse also to be slaves of the Muchona Peter Muthalika who has destroyed our country politically and economically.We in diaspora,are proud of you for championing the struggle for dignity and humanity in our country that is led by machonas who have no notion what they are doing.Our friends in diaspora are highly impressed of your courage and determination to put Malawi on the right direction.Once again,we love you and congratulate you for your determination in defending our freedom and integrity.GOD BE WITH YOU!!!!!!!!!
Mbuzi iwe, sumagona m’ngalande kumene uliko, m’mawa nkumakatsuka zilonda eni mthaka ndikuwachapira ma panti, how can you speak for all in diaspora? Are you there spokesman/woman? Who appointed you to be their spokeperson?
Heavyduty has poor reasoning just the same as Malawi news journalist and Editor of this news.
U need to argue with Facts nigger and not just making noise for sake of your dying horse.
U rather stay quite if u lack facts.
Shame on you mtumbuka iwe! Kamuzu was very proud of his mbumba and he would not send thugs to undress a woman in public like what Pitala does. Your hate for Kamuzu is unfounded and you are full of lies. You always try to hide behind people in diaspora instead of speaking for yourself! Your propaganda isn’t working because people on the ground in Malawi know the truth unlike you with your fake diaspora status! No woman was a Slave under Kamuzu unless it was only your momma!
yes and my advice to the women of Malawi PLEASE STOP DANCING FOR THESE STUPID POLITICIANS “like chilima said” SO WE EXPECT TO SEE YOU BOYCOTT ALL DPP RALLIES FROM NOW ON
Ine am more than 98% sure kuti amenewa a opposition. The aim is to dent image ya a Boma. They have failed in all angles and have resorted to press an “over drive button” to gain speed or trying to savage the little they can get in this remaining shot period of time. Actually more is ahead. Paja pa nkhondo chilichomse ndi chidatu kaya kuluma kaya kugenda kikikiki
I am 100% sure you are just another useless cadet.
The videos are clear that the terrorists are DPP cadets so unless you hate knowing the truth. Go and tell your DPP and Pitala that terrorizing women and the opposition won’t get people to vote for them.
Iwe nde dzete lakufikapo chomene……………………………..! Iweyo chikanakhala chimanga chimafunika kukazinga osasungako mbeuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu fotseki zakoooooooooooooooooooooo mwana wa njoka iwe, cadet wachabechabe
Our ladies, mothers, sisters, let me applaud you for your leadership. You were put on this earth for exactly this reason which is to care for the nation. Amongst us men, we have too much ego and testosterone as well as dullness and drunkedness, tinakakumana kumeneku tinakakhapana. Forgive us for being cowards and thugs, especially our DPP cousins.
Not in my name, just say you are a coward yourself Mr Bigman
A First Lady anali kuti???? Tulo basi
Busy kuba and hiding the money. She’s the one running the show since the old man can’t do anything
Imagine beam forced itself on city assemblies to carry out all waste collections. City assemblies paying them millions exclusively instead of investing in their own equipment.
Where is Joyce Banda???? I thought she likes to tell azungu that she is “the champion of women’s issues” …….. Now dhe is too busy or feel too important to show solidarity with other women? ……….shame on you JB
A president ndiye ayi ,zonse zikuchitikazi Iwo zikwasangalasa,chacha sanatukane amai ,peter munamuva akunzunzula ndipo anathokoza mchacha potukana azimaiwo anamupasa unduna, winiko wamenyedwa komanso zomwe zachitika Ku mangochi weekend mwavapo alakhula kapena kuzuzula.a president akuziwa kuti akuluza chisankhochi nkana agokhala chete.
Where is Gertrude Maseko “Mutharika” the so called First Lady of Malawi ??????…………..where is Joyce Banda???? ………lost opportunity………don’t you ever lie to us that you care about women
Komano ine I think akupanga zimenezi ndi a opposition (UTM or MCP or both) Remember they are desperate kwambiri to be in government and they want to gain milage at any cost. (1) They exaggerated issue of corruption and they failed. (2) They dented issue ya economy but they were put to shame by IMF/World Bank. (3) They are trying to undermine infrastructure development but even it, they are failing. Physical infrastuctures are visible not with a telescope or microscope or magnifying glass or optical glasses but with naked eyes to anyone and this tactic too is failing. (4) Opposition has also used these so called political commentators, lecturers, demos, CSOs. This too has has misarably failed. (5) They have used church and this tactic is backfiring.
DPP is still commanding majority and encreasingly seem uncheckable, unbendable, unbreakable, unstoppable on course. No wonder they have now resorted to self-harm ngati aneneri a Bala mu nthawi ya Elijah.
Just to remind you UTM has experienced (drama) actors. Do you believe a normal, healthy and a winning pilot with bright future can deliberately bring down and crash a plane? Is it not an enbattled guy or loser in the cabin cockpit who can. Remmember MCP has better experience in im torture, beating, killings and abductions. Make no mistake guys, this is the works of opposition losers.
heavy duty MBUZI ya munthu
Let us not waste time with this STUPID Muthalika. We know how He has failed to resolve issues in the past. It is asking too much if We ecpect him to do anything on tHis matter. The only way to make him act on important issues affecting Malawians is to VOTE HIM OUT OF POWER. Tizingozinamiza kuti tili ndi president wotiyang’anira. Not this dude called Peter.
KOMA GUYS AWO AVALA ZA BLUE AKUFUNA CHIYANI PAMENOPO ZA ZIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII NDIAMENE AKUPANGA ZIMENEZO KOMANSO ALIPO HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
The beautiful women of Malawi. I have liked your unity. This nation belongs to you. You are in majority and must be running this country. Keep it up . Fight for your protection and rights. Do net let us men take advantage of you. May God bless all mother’s in Malawi. May those involved in violence be cursed . Kamuzu loved you. Bingu loved you.
UYUSO NDE NSETE ZENIZENI SUKUONA AMAYIO BWINOBWINO. NDITH KUKU TCHULILA AMAYI A DPP PAMENEPA
That is true Kalulu. God bless our mother Malawi
Yeah, yeah yeah! a nyasatimes apeza zolemba tsopano. DPP terrorists my ass. Mukumavala nsalu za chipani cha DPP nkumatenda ma video nkumati DPP ikupanga ziwawa, muli kukwapulana nokhanokha. Mukhaula palibe nagative writing about DPP yomwe munalembe kuti ingachite afeect DPP pachisankho. Umve zimenezo iwe mwana Khamula.
M’mutu mwanu munadzadza utuchi. Bwanji asakumangidwa chifukwa wolakwira malamulo ayenera kumangidwa basi kaya ndiwachipani chanji kuti akayankhe kukhoti. Koma uyu maliseche akufuna kutiwonongera dziko lathu, iye anazolowera kukhala kwaeni.
If they are from the other parties, why the police is not arresting them given the evidence that those doing the act are taking pictures as well as videos of themselves.
Speak as if there is God in heaven? Your DPP is not God, his term of office will come to an end soon.
Behave yourself man, there are ladies on this forum. Miserable thug.
If they are not DPP, what is stopping the police arresting them with the same zeal they usually have when it is an opposition figure even for flimsy charges like acting suspiciously. Looks like the thugs are untouchable and this can only mean one thing. They are DPP hooligans. It is only in this country where thugs maiming people are given protection by the state.
Mbewe the pathfinder ndiwe mbuli as gogo akowo matchende ako n gogo wakoyo nonse
Izizi zandisangalatsa kwambiri, go on our mothers, make Malawi great again. anjatibwe basi, ajanso avula munthu ku Blantyre bwana Jose achitepo kanthu. Bwana IG dont fear about who appointed you to be on that position as it was only through God Almighty that you ascended into that position and the earthly appointing authorities were just used by the Most High Himself to fulfill his will through you. Malawi is now in a mess because you do not want to listen to what God want you to do for Malawi. Know that you will be answerable to God and not men hence need to do your job professionally without fear from what will happen today or tomorrow. If they remove you from your position bcoz of your professional handling of the suspected terror suspect from the ruling elite God will reward you more that what you have now. Gwirani ntchito bwana satana amadana ndi kuwala ndiye inu musakhale mdima othandizira satana kuti azivulaza anthu osalakwa bwana, Malawi loves you bwana IG Jose and we know you can work without being compromised by the powers that be.
Koma mwati maliseche ali moyo? Mwina tikungoganiza zoti alipo koma atatisiyatu.
Indeed,snoring on the job.Chinkhonono tiriiriri
Elections in May 2019 will not be free and fair.
Time and again we take things very wrongly. Timasogoza convicting people even before suspecting. That’s where we go wrong with issues concerning all of us. Everybody is convicting DPP cadets, mudslinging them and you expect the president, a lawyer, to be convinced with this? Forget it. How we deal with issue is to go through proper protocols with respect and you will receive a response. Mai Kabwira chepetsani your hatred for the DPP. You didn’t make it in 2014 and 5 years have passed and you have never accepted the defeat. Pray very hard because this time around, its 90% that 2014 scenario shall repeat it self. Mai Chilima dekhani. Accept that entering state house through the back door has not been possible because God doesn’t answer evil prayers. It also seems you have gotten it wrong this time and am sorry that should you and your husband fail to make it to state house this year, then you will never seat on that chair with mikango iwiri. I am afraid your name will be forgotten in just 5 seconds. Zimafunika kuzichepetsa izi. Sizitengera maonekedwe kapena mapezedwe koma kukonderedwa. From today on wards be a good advisor of your husband, but the first advice you gave him was very wrong, 0%. Dont let the powers of the devil deceive you and make you blind because you have a lot of blind spots.
Another useless cadet with internet access, God help us.
you r wastign ur time inu ma cadets writing here, we just read a few words and know it is a stupid cadet writing and we dont waste our time reading ur stupid comments, so you can write ma pages and pages aint nobody reading ur trash u CADETS KKKKKKK u r now finished, these women are going to finishu may 21
The president is sleeping on the job. Peter has decided to look the other way unfortunately. He is doomed to loose the elections.
Can you suggest what decision should the president make on this issue?
What do you think the president should do regarding this issue?
he should make a press conference and condemn these barbaric acts of his cadets and he should stop this rubbish happening once and for all, if he has any power he will do that
IWE JJ MBEWE WASUTA CHAMBA ETI ANGAPANGE ZIMENEZO NDANI UKUVA KUTI ANTHU ENA AKUWADZIWA KOMA MATHA KUTI AKAWATENGE UKUNAMA IWE DDP CADET BASI AKUONONGA DZINA LA BWANA TU NGATI SIMUDZIWA KUMASEKERELA ZIMENOZO BWANA DZINA LAKE LIKUIPA TU PLEASE SIYANI ZIMENEZI
The president is silent, the first lady is silent. Is it a sign that they condone what happened? The first couple need to remember that what goes around comes around. Today, it is that poor woman, tomorrow it could be the first lady or one of the first couples relatives. Do you remember Robespierre, the French politician who arranged execution of his opponents? He ended up being executed himself on the guillotine. What about our own Muwalo? Sometimes we fall victim to the same evil we plot for our opponents.
Please chonde amalawi lemekedzani azimai iwe uli pamenepo chifukwa amai anakubala iweyo. Koma Mulungu akuwonatu zonsezi .Anzathu akuzunzika mmayikomu ndiye inu mukupanga zosayenela kuvutitsa azimayi!
The fact that he has said nothing about the on going violence shows that he is not fit to be a leader. OUT!
