MP Kalindo says ‘wear panties’ only on nude demo, says insults will not stop him

Mulanje South MP Bon Kalindo says he has been insulted and called all sorts of names since he announced his decision to make a nude match to force courts mete out death sentences to killers of people with albinism.

Kalindo has however said he is not relenting on his decision, saying the match will still take place on June 23 in Lilongwe despite the scathing attacks and criticisms from some sections of society.

“These people who are attacking me are wealthy, well to do and well protected people. I am doing this for the poor, vulnerable and marginalised group of people therefore am not shaken,” he said.

He, however, said that his lawyers have advised him that it would be against the law to match naked therefore he will put on an under wear and is advising others intending to join him to put on under wears and ladies put on bras in addition to knickers.

“I am not moved even by an inch by all what people are saying against me. Others are even saying am doing comedy, well let it be as long as it is for the good of people with albinism am not shaken,” he said.

Kalindo says he knows the death sentence exists in the country’s laws but it has not been used for many years and wants it used on those convicted of killing people with albinism.

Some civil rights leaders, including Billy Mayaya, say they will join Kalindo popularly known as Winiko on stand up comedy stage.

A group of women are said to have been organised to put on g-strings and bras to join the march. And some men with tight panties.
