Mayor of Blantyre receives death threats: Police arrest suspect
Blantyre City Mayor Noel Chalamanda is said to be receiving death threats and police on Friday arrested one suspect.
Chalamanda confirmed he has been receiving the threats on his mobile phone.
“Today I was attending a Malawi Defense Force meeting at Chichiri when I received one such threat. The guy said he wanted to meet me at Shoprite and was arrested by police,” he said.
Police in Blantyre were reluctant to divulge more information on the matter saying the law enforcers were still investigating the matter.
The youthful lawyer-mayor is credited for making Blantyre more beautiful than ever before and is making initiatives that will make Blantyer the best place to live in Malawi cities.
Do not be threatened, His Worship. Keep on the good work you are doing to change the face of our city. We beloved citizens like your efforts and we expect more to shame the jelousy and unproductive brutes. Now try to de-conjest the entry into Haile Selassie and Victoria Avenue. We know you are a listening and effective leader. You will find out solutions soon. May God always protect and keep you.
MP Kalua also received death ???? threats from DPP thugs and he provided cell phone ???? numbers. The police ???? failed to arrest them. Is this not double standards? Can the police deny that they are unprofessional?
