‘Most baffling body armour’: Presidential guard at Mutharika’s swearing-in dominates UK’s The Sun
The swearing in ceremony of President Peter Mutharika for his second five-year term after a gruelling May 21 Tripartite Elections campaign trail hit the headlines in UK’s popular news outlet The Sun which has focused on the bodyguard and splashing his pictures in what it said he decked out in some of the most baffling body armour.
The Sun said the burly security man – identified as Sub Inspector Ndengumawas -on guard resplendent in a spiked helmet and shoulder pads.
In its report, the publication said: “World’s scariest bodyguard kitted out with bizarre spiked jacket, gas mask, assault rifle and two pairs of sunglasses at Malawi president’s swearing in ceremony.”
Prepared for any eventuality, the gun toting military policeman also wore his battle camouflage, a gas mask and two pairs of sunglasses, reported The Sun.
Staying on the doubling up theme of his get up, he even had four torches strapped to his spiny headgear, it continued.
The man was standing guard on top of a pick up truck as Malawi’s President Peter Mutharika was sworn in for a second five-year term Tuesday.
Mutharika narrowly won re-election in the southern African nation with 38 per cent of the votes in last week’s poll, while main opposition leader Lazarus Chakwera received 35 per cent.

Forget about donor aid with this power of tippex lomwe belt regime.
So wanted him to put on thewla kapanga chogoba cha gule! This is the place to show that mmati akavale koti ife situmuwona- Shine on bigggie
Apite ku Afganstan akapenge pose imeneyo ngati ali dolo.
Who can want to kill an already frail man?
Kumuopa Chakwera kumeneko?..KKK
Its not an issue, he is proud of his work. Stupid Malawians who are shamelessly criticising their Military to please foreigners
Sorry. Two sets of sun glasses! spiked helmet!! Gas mask! torches!! seriously awo ndi matama opusa. Was there intelligence that there was going to be a chemical attack? was there going to be darkness and then he would remove the sun glasses to use the torches? Umbuli winawu abale!!!!
Zopusa basi.
Most baffling but we the poorest doesn’t make sense
I first said “oh what the fuck! the moment i saw the title of this article! than when i read it and looked at the pictures oh i laughed! MALAWI NGOMVETSA CHISONI
useless
Money is spent on these useless equipments yet there are no medicines in hospitals. You later go to UK, US , World Bank, UN ADB to beg for budgetary support? These donors are surely equally crazy to give or even lend money to Malawi.
a PMF akanakhala asikali akanavuta
The way he is so exposed, if I was a sniper I’d take him out first, and then his boss.
Kkkkkkkkkk
Correct and agree, even without a periscope mounted rifle kkkkkkk very easy target! Azaziwona kutsogoloku abwana awo akapitiriza zomwe akupangazi!
A ‘periscope’ is used on a submarine. On a rifle you get telescopic sights.
any army that has never fought a war but ready to shoot its citizens in defence of a rigged election
The army does not shoot its citizens, its the policemen. The army is busy in DRC engaging rebels on UN orders hinged on peacekeeping.
Kumeneko ndiye ku malawi ngakhale nkhondo kulibe anthu ake amakhala ngati kuti anayamba amvapo zoti president adayamba amukonzelapo chiwembu
Our drones would take this clown down in 10 seconds. What a joker !! Just missing his clown suit…..
