Monica Chakwera and Abida Mia MP travelled to Nsundwe to hear from the victims who police officers allegedly raped them in retaliation to the stoning to death of a police officer.

Both Chakwera and Mia listened attentively as the victims narrated their ordeals when the police officers stormed their homes and allegedly raped them.

The two spouses of the most powerful politician in the main opposition managed to raise K1.5 million which they donated to the victims and other essentials both food and non-food.

The NGO Gender Coordination Network (NGO-GCN) documented accounts from women and girls who said they had been sexually assaulted by police officers.

“While NGO-GCN advocate justice on the case [the killing of the police officer], the network is disturbed with reports that some of the police officers dispatched in the area … raped women, defiled self-boarding girl students, tortured people and looted private property,” read its report.

The report, which described how police officers threw teargas and broke into houses, demanded that the president and other authorities ensure the allegations were thoroughly investigated and perpetrators punished. “ No one is above the law and the rule of law must be respected,” said the report.

Acting Inspector General of Police Duncan Mwapasa said the police were probing the allegations but the UN and other international organisations have asked for an independent probe into the matter.

  1. If Abida Mia is a true Muslim, she was supposed to comfort the wife and kids of fellow Muslim who was murdered by the chewa and MCP members of Msundwe

  2. Why did these two powerful women of MIA AND LAZARO not visit Imedi ‘s widow in Mangochi ? Your husband caused his death in Nsundwe but you never raised any penny. It was Chimulirenji who went to condole the family of the slain policeman. Shame on you ABIDA And MONICA LAZARO

    1. Chimulirenji went there as a vice president and any penny he used to condole the Imedi family is from the govt not his own pocket. He used everyone’s money including those of Nsundwe’s residents which means even those whom you are accusing of neglecting the family of Imedi had condoled it through gvt.

  3. ohhh noooo thats not the way to solve this trauma though ku Mw kuno nkhani za zigololo eish sizikhala ngati vuto. but we are talking rape. sex that was not consented.

  4. these are real mothers, where is getrude and madam chimulilenji and seude white ,they could have gone there and cry for there fellow mothers too who has been raped and bitten rather than crying for a single woman who has wronged many malawians

  5. Go and cheer the victims. You sent them to cause mayhem and in turn they have met the consequences of their own brutality. Sons and daughters of crocodiles!

  6. Mere Propaganda. Trying to bring hatred between the POLICE and the community for some selfish gains

  7. It is a good gesture only hoping that the police officer’s widow was condoled by the MCP ladies. They aren’t hypocrites. But godfearing women. They are weeping for those in rape pains as well as the Mangoche widow missing the comfort of her husband. MCP doesn’t house hypocrisy

    1. Very true they are supposed to visit the widow as well. In this case people are just concentrating much on the raped victims and not the deceased. This is a political sympathy l think. Let these crocodile tears be shared with the widow of the deceased as well.
