Malopa says Chakwera has his work cut out
Former Malawi Broadcasting Corporation (MBC) director general, Bright Malopa has sent congratulatory messages to opposition leader Lazarus Chakwera who is set to defeat incumbent President Peter Mutharika in the fresh presidential elections.
However, Malopa cautions that the task ahead is huge for the in-coming administration since it comes at a time the country faces the negative impact of coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic that has led to under-collection of revenue by the Malawi Revenue Authority (MRA), uncertainty and global recession.
“The regime is has also come at a moment of grave crisis during which violent and fanatical men made attempts to destroy the unity and the freedom of lives of men and women, the independence of men of the bench and governance institutions .
“Our assumptions of a democratic Malawi may have been naive as has now been demonstrated to us by few misguided persons just how fragile a democratic society can be if democracy is not prepared to defend itself,” he says in his post on Facebook.
“When we compare ourselves to those who lost properties in the ensuing commotions on all sides and consider that we now have orphaned children in Lilongwe following the death of their parents by deeds of fire, we must prepare to face those children and ask ourselves, how did we come to this how did concepts such as love, friendship, compassion, humility or forgiveness lost their depth and dimensions?” he adds.
Malopa says he did not expect DPP and United Democratic Front (UDF) alliance to do well in the election just gone by because of the nepotistic tendencies in the DPP leadership.
“DPP decided to wear itself down to the state they are in. I saw this in 2015 and I did not hope for anything better. Siwathu [he is not one of us] syndrome and an insatiable appetite to fight everyone with a contrary view point forgetting that democracy offers a market place of ideas emboldened this self-belief and they have paid a social price.
“They are history, they are frightened with the prospect of accountability and we know they messed up, but that’s their business. Let’s not waste more time with more blames. Nyekhwe or no Nyekhwe, Let the rule of law be the guide to each one of us,” emphasizes Malopa.
He urges ordinary citizens to support the new government so that it delivers what it promised.
Malopa likens the election of Chakwera and Chilima to the return of government returned to the people, challenging that it is within their might to help it work.
“The Malawi Defence Forces did not weave in the fight for constitutional order and so is the judiciary led by Justice Nyirenda, Charles Mkandawire, Healy Potani, and now Justice Dr Chifundo Kachale. The conduct of these men and women should act as a constant reminder to us all.
“Each one of us, DPP, included has a constitutional responsibility to help create a Malawi where dreams and ambitions can be realized as we begin to look at the good side of each other. Having said all of this, I still want to know: what really happened in China?” asks Malopa.
Malawians went to the polls on Tuesday after the Constitution Court in February annulled the May 2019 presidential vote due to irregularities.

Professional opportunist, evil to the core. We never heard him in a single day openly admonish the evils, thuggish and corrupt practices of dpp. A disgrace to the core.
I thank malopa for his background information he gave to tonse alliance. He used to be bad but repented and he could not come open coz he would have been chopped. He has helped a lot for tonse alliance to know the secrets of cadets. He was not DPP. Malopa malangizo ndi awa. Dont associate with cawards. Thanks for your background information you rendered. Makadeti akanatipwekeka.
Don’t look malopa as a waste man how ever sankachita bwino with makiyolobasi etc.
Go to hell Malopa, when did you realise that the DPP is nepotistic?
When did Bright Malopa change to start speaking like this? He knows he needs to reposition so that he maintains what he’s eating.
opportunist, gold digger. the father of mizwanya, makiyolobasi. we ca not have reformed mbc with you in it.
Malawians have woken up, we will scrutinize every appointment from now on wards, so Bright Malopa please sit down
Malopa lero????? Bodza ili
Mr Malopa tithokoze kuti mwazindikira kuti mbiya sakhometsa gwada sapanga saladi change has come
Malopa is an opportunist! ……we are draining the swamp !
This is an Edification for in coming Leaders. Learn from the Bible. Read Nehemiah1:1-6; 2:11-18. It talks about about
“LEADERSHIP THAT LEADS”. This says whatever position of Author:11-3. ty we hold, we must be willing to identify with Human Need so that God can use us as instruments of solutions and blessings to troubled areas. That is Leadership Leads. The second edification is Ezra 3:8; 4:1-3. God encourages leaders to ” KEEP ON SWIMMIN”. Many people fail to reach their Goal because they become weary and discouraged.. They do not realize that Success is within reach. I encourage you new Leaders to soldier on in REBUILDING THE RUINED MALAWI. In the Bible, Zerubbabel and his Crew encountered numerous delays and discouragements while they were REBUILDING THE TEMPLE in Jerusalem. They soldiered on in rebuilding because they knew God had ordered the work they were doing, and this gave them the confidence. So Rev. Chakwera and Dr. Chilima, God has ordered you to REBUILD THE RUINS OF MALAWI. May our God give you the Wisdom and Knowledge to execute this important task for the good of Mother Malawi. God bless the new Leadership and God Bless Malawi.
@ Mboga Matoga
Malopa comes from Ntcheu
Malopa shud not act as a saint now that Apm and his dpp has fallen.
If there was somebody who trampled on other people while at their peak at Mbc ad DG , then , it is you Malopa.
You are at Macra cos of the same ideology of nepotism.
You’re one such a product of dpp mediocrity
This guys in an opportunist and a sorry excuse for a man….Go sit down! Zopusa, who cares about your opinions…where have you been….Galu
This is the utterance of a Statesman. He has nailed the crux of the matter in Malawi. Such are future Leaders of Malawi. There is a lot of wisdom in this written work. Well done Mr. Malopa. May our God continue to guide you and protect you. You have talked like a Citizen of Malawi; not on tribal lines..
Well said Amalopa, whatever was said during campaign at each other is over now.Now is move on and work as Malawians.
Anyway… you are now speaking now because DPP is gone. You could gave stood up and rebuked DPP and Mutharika right in their faces during their time in office. We understand they gave you a job at MACRA that’s why
Bright, just give us a break! Period! Most of you people do not vote for….. but….against those ones…….. Your vote is not cast for your candidate but against a certain tribe
Malopa was the mastermind of propaganda on MBC Tv with his Mizwanya programs. He was rewarded with a palatial house for his bootlicking. The new government should be wary of such sweet talking youths. Take your time Chakwera and uplift youths of integrity . We have so many competent Malawi youths of the calibre ngati ya the Kachales, Noel Kayiras, Martha Chizumas etc Let Malopawfocud on his businesses with his Cape Mclear dream
Dear Bright, my brother, well said. DPP took everything for granted. HE APM also took everything for granted. Being out of government will be a great walk in the desert. If this great walk goes well, perhaps the new-DPP will come out less Siwathu syndrome!!
Dear DPP, have a great walk in the desert. Come out of it with a big diploma in humility, brotherhood, love, compassion and other minors.
Happy walk!
Man has been at macra for the last 5 years as a consultant yet he does nothing. Is in charge of the mangochi development project that is nothing but a cash cow.. We appreciate your sound advice but you are part of everything that is wrong with malawi. “we rember not the words of our enemies , but the silence of our friends”
Che Malopa hiding under the pseudo name of “JACK BANDA”-you were one of the most nepotistic persons I have come across in my country who sold this ideology to Bingu just before he passed on.Look what you have done with Cabal you sustained on hate and kleptocracy.It has cost your party an election.My bet is that the road for the mighty DPP from now till the future is on a slip slop and never to return.Mark my words.
To be honest, we don’t want to see the face of this Charlatan – just go away………
I second this point.
Malopa is a shameless opportunist who is part of what went wrong with Malawi. Malopa should never be allowed anywhere near any public office.
Malopa cheese and milk now is not a good time pls tonse alliance don’t allow this guys to defect into let them be in opposition benches we need to see new faces
Malopa is useless
Too late ababa
Some of us know exactly how China graduated into what it is today. I bet, any leader who will try to implement policies which made China the giant , will be considered a bad leader here in Malawi because we misunderstood democracy. We need to experience pain and make personal sacrifices for the good of the country. Of course China started with land reforms, then controlled productive Agriculture, then value addition, then technology transfer agenda, then manufacturing, then transport and industry, then commerce (the silk road), then education focusing on skills development (high technologies that is). Loyalty to the rulling party is key in China and they don’t remove a delivering president out of jealousy as we have done with APM. And 95% of Chinese people belong to one tribe and they subscribe to one political ideology that’s why “cabinet” decisions are always supported, unlike here where tumbuka people always oppose Govt plans.
In China they practice complete democracy and not competing democracy that’s why they get rich together leaving no one behind. Political stability is key to China’s development. Destructive and indespline people like Timothy mtambo, trapence, sembereka, mayaya etc couldn’t be tolerated in the Chinese development equation.
Izi ndiye mbwelera Dhara
Munayamba bwino koma ur obsession with tribalism has totally messed up ur commentary. Dont blame the Tumbukas for DPP’s stupidity, why do u always feel the need to blame someone instead of taking stock of ur own shortfalls soberly? When Bingu delivered on projects, did the same Tumbukas not support him? We are all Malawians and every well meaning Malawian should strive and pray that we find leaders who are able to deliver as Bingu did in his 1st term at the same time, there should always be the Timothy Mtambo kind of people on the bench who should be able to galvanise the people to remind the political leaders that Malawi belong to Malawians when they go off track. APM was not delivering nationally, mwina kumudzi kwanuko he was, but nationally he was not so if u expect people in the other districts to vote for him based on what he did in ur home district, then that is being selfish on your part. Malawi Wa Tonse, any leader that wants to stay long in power should deliver on developmental promises, simple and straight forward.
That sort of Commentary should have come when people were campaigning not now
This is what a prostitute said to the priest.
I am not surprised if those aren’t the same sentiments you have been telling APM all along, regardless of the signs which were given to him to try avoid shooting in his own feet, (so to say), which has entailed his own downfall.
Dr. Chakwera is a humble servant of God, and has been put in command of our country at this moment and time to serve God’s purpose, according to God’s will, and the same God will provide him with the strength, wisdom , people and resources to pursue his daily endeavours, so as to help Malawi move forward.
I have every belief that from now on, we will have a prosperous,unified, developed, law abiding, orderly and non tribalism Malawi.
Mr Malopa, you are an imbecile, and undoubtedly a bad influence, and please do not try to sweet talk Dr. Chakwera or Dr. Chilima now that the DPP ship has capsized in the Red Sea.
Thanks for the congratulatory message, but no thanks.
A Malopa zoona kumukana nzanu tambala atalirira katatu! Inu sanali nzanu uyu mumadya naye!
I am sick and tired of the opportunistic people like this Malopa guy. The country is full of these chaps whose job is to position themselves to governments like leaches and siphon resources through dubious deals and barefaced corruption. You see them all over town driving their expensive SUV’s and building mansions in the new suburbs. Yet they cant point to any business structures that can generate the money to support their lifestyles. Now wonder we don’t develop wealth in this country.
I agree. These are the type of people SKC was saying should go to prison after Tonse Alliance government releases people who were sentenced 10 years for stealing a chicken.
Congratulating LMC just because you want some favours?? No, not this time. The TONSE government will engage and employ people only on merit. Just wait for the reforms shortly.
We do not WANT the likes of Malopa and all Dpps. Akagwera MBAVA ZENI ZENI ZA CHABE CHABE. OUR JOB NOW IS TO DISINFECT THE COUNTRY OF CORRUPTION AND NEPOTISM
Malopa is a stupid monster. He works for macra because he was fixed there by DPP. Stupid cunt.
Kufuna ntchito uku. Not this time. Aliyense anadyerera nthawi ya Bakili, Bingu, Joyce Banda pano sali nyantha. Kaya at Kaliati, Chilima ayi. This is our time.
When APM became president in 2014, you went to MBC thinking you would continue propaganda that you did under Bingu. As advisor ntchito yako miseche, kuneneza ndi kuchosetsa anthu ntchito. At state house you were a terrible advisor using your position to fleece Indians and rich executives of their money. A womaniser. You kept lying and showing off about the Cape Maclear hotel initiative. Pants on fire. Do not distance yourself from DPP, it is a monster you created. You are angry Ben Hill finished you and you haven’t had the opportunity to steal. Please don’t try to sell yourself to MCP. We need new people and you are a dustbin of history along with your DPP! Go away.
Dusting up the pan man. This is the utmost double standard one can ever expect to see. Malopa Sir, this does not look good coming from a person who once held a position as Presidential Advisor of something along those lines. You are clearly misplaced.
Unali kuti nthawi yonseyi kape iwe. You have been part of the DPP sickness all this time nde mudziti chani pano? Just shut up and go lick your wounds ndi a dad akowo.
He is trying to position himself towards the new government with the hope of being considered for a position
Nthawi yonseyi munali kuti a Malopa stop playing double standards……olo titati tifunse kuti chisankho chimenechi munavotera ndani mungatiuze ?
Musawanyoze a dad anu chifukwa chakuti aluza, you were obviously one of the beneficiaries of those nepotistic acts and deeds that were so embedded in the DPP government….
You are the ceo of the green belt initiative not because you qualified for the job but just because you are a lomwe……period.
MALOPA is no a Lomwe by all means. He comes from Ntcheu as both his parents. If you have issues with him then just address that but don’t include Lomwe issues in it. He is an original Ngoni. Not everyone who worked with DPP were lomwes.
Bonga matonga you are very stupid
This is not very nice. Just disagree with the person’s idea, not calling each other names.
Malopa happens to be true Ngoni from Ntcheu and was appointed to his current position on merit
Kodi awa alipo? Kwanu kwatha inu shut up. Kodi castle ija ilipo? Tikufufuzani
Komatu Malopa…utisamale…Tawina tokha ingokhalani chete baba
You mean we have been together in the nationa while your own friends were destroying the nation?
You were once wise, people thought but i think reading your writing, i have now known that you were, are and will not!
Amen brother. You couldn’t have said it better. Suddenly he comes to an epiphany after leaking us dry. Za ziiiii.
