Msundwe residents loot cement from 5 trucks: Criminal elements continue

December 12, 2019 Wanga Gwede - Nyasa Times 45 Comments

Criminal elements are still taking place on the Lilongwe-Mchinji Road  as  more incidents of lawlessness continue to take place with the latest being residents of Msundwe have looted cements from five trucks.

Cement looted

The incident occured this  week when five trucks carrying the cement were stopped by a mob of Msundwe residents who jammed the scene and started looting bags of cement from the truck.

Police inaction was due t fear of what happened to Superintendent Usumani Imedi of the Police Mobile Service  who died after he was savagely attacked by mob on the Lilongwe-Mchinji Road when he was trying to restore order during a protest.

But concerned citizens have urged government to properly equip police with protective gears and that lawlessness should be curbed.

National police spokesperson James Kadadzera is on record saying that there is a calculated move by few criminal-minded individuals who are always after looting property of innocent Malawians.

But Kadadzera said the few criminal-minded individuals, also coupled by few individuals with partisan political interests, have not helped matters as they have fuelled violent demonstrations to make Malawi lawless.

President Peter Mutharika in his message on Human Rights Day which falls on December 10 noted that some youth are being radicalised to be vandalising their own education infrastructure and committing serious crimes over petty issues.

He expressed concern that while government is making every effort to develop the lives of the youth, political and civil society leaders are using the young generation in perpetrating violence.

“These people are exploiting the poverty and vulnerability of the youth to engage in violence and politically engineered political activities.

“Some organisations are hiding behind defending human rights when they are actually engaging in violence, criminal activities and blatantly violating everybody’s human rights. These people and organisations are in fact teaching the youth of this country to be violent society,” said Mutharika,

The Malawi leader said the youth must be taught to be responsible citizens instead of mobilising them into violence and criminal activities in the name of democracy and freedom of expression.

  4. This lawlessness is now being misplaced.. such thugs should not go scot free..Its not even politics now. This is something else. Lord have mercy!!!

  6. Munalandira mzimu wa satanic chifukwa cholola Mtambo ndi mzake atsogolere chipani pa mademo . muvutika anthuwa alowa satanic ndipo satheka satana ndioononga basi

  7. Apolisi osaopa pitani mukawalowelenso Mwa azimayi ndi atsikana awo. Mutotelethu osakavalanso zishango akhaule ana amenewa munyesana

  8. Zosakhala bwino komabe vilipo chikuusa dzaye kuti njovu itchoke mnyanga. But these msundwe acts of violence are neither Christians nor any religion that teaches humanity unless they are satanic yes I will agree with you Godiba . Christianity doesn’t teach the act of violence. They belong to the devil.

  10. Can you bring the evidence that shows that this really happened otherwise you’re bringing in confusion among the people, osamawanamiza anthu wawa

  11. Mr. Reporter can you tell us the exact date cause today is Thursday and we haven’t heard anything of that sort, don’t try to tarnish the image of the people of msundwe, bring in the facts before the nation, otherwise this issue will just bring confusion to the people.

  12. Msundwe residents were ferried in six lorries to improve the turnout at Tuesday’s demos. Do you now recognise what you have done? Iwe mtambo ndi anyani anzako

    1. Infact it is meant to be a bet and police know this. Thats why they were just watching. They know stopping this meant death. The result of a public institution aligning itself with a specific group.

    3. ……………………..solutions needed osaopa kupitako apolisi uku cifukwa cuma ndi miyoyo ya anthu njofunika kuiteteza malingana ndi malamulo adzikoli…………………………………………………….

    1. Akaphanako kumeneko akayelekeza kukashuta nsaona akati ndikugenda dziwa wapondamwala. Apolisi msamale magwilidwe ntchito game kuonela patali malawi alindimkwiyo apa 21 may zithera mwainu

    2. Be careful you may encourage armed robbery. Don’t forget the area boarders Mozambique which is littered with AK47s

  16. you can not tell some one to be responsible while smartly you are robbing from them…first DPP should stop nepotism type of running government,stop selling land to foreigners while Malawians are spending decades of years without having their land after having applied for the same to land institutions,stop police ration scandals,stop all acts of corruption and oppression.

  19. Amalawi tatani, dziko ndi lathu ili tikulionongali. ovutika ndife tomwe violence or crime has never yielded anything. Mapeto ovutika adzakhala ana athu, makolo athu . aliyense akuyesetsa kulimbikira kudyetsa ana ake. Kufatu saferana, kuchechenjera pagulu nkwanthawi yochepa

  20. Peter Mutharika, You should be the first person to tame your Petrol Bombing Cadets & the last person to accuse & condemn others because that is what you yourself are doing with your stupid & lawless cadets. You hold your evil meetings during the night instead of sleeping.

  21. Lack of religious values especially Christianity coupled with lack of education in these Msundwe residents is what is causing them to be acting like wild beasts. Okonkwo’s kingdom where people resisted civilization. Its sad that some quarters of the society especially those that share the same ethnical roots with these barbarians are taking them as heroes, using them to advance their egos. So sad!!!

    1. …………………………………..you are wrong Godiba because you cannot make an independent socio-economic stance on Msundwe’s populace as that’s not representative of the area and lacks belief.

      You are MYOPIC and you need to go back to primary school to re-start Standard 1…………………………………

      1. AMWENE, being MCP Supporter does not guarantee you to be causing violence. After all we are all Malawians and we are one. Politicians at the end of the day, will just mislead you, iwowo zawo kuyenda ali phee.

  22. injustice, inequality, unemployment and corruption impacts the youths the hardest, how do you expect them to be responsible when you are looting what would have helped them on a daily basis. you are responsible for this angry and violent generation of the youth, and the anger is still building till it will reach a boiling point then see the results.

    1. are there no unemployed youths in karonga, chitipa nsanje zomba dowa? why Nsundwe stop glorifying violence. violence in whatever form is bad

  23. Chakwela bloodshed, Chilima and the devil Mtambo in action. This seems very simple when you are not being affected. I pray that one day let these people be affected and appreciate the pain one is undergoing. Ask Mayaya. It is really painful when it is on you. Your charms will never protect you for ever. It is a matter of time. Where is Chihana after a good effort to bring multiparty democracy. But Chihana never encouraged the youth to do rooting. You are also spoiling the future of the youth. They will end as thugs and fail to manage their families because of you stupid leaders.

    1. At the level where we are we should be careful as a nation.who is to blame we are all to blame which leader to blame all leaders.Which tribe to blame all tribes.There are certain things which we need to stop.Our mindset of tribalism regionalism starting from how we share resources jobs contracts development.

      My humble plea is that the president as mandated by the constitution has the responsibility to unify the nation.Secondly, other political leaders have the duty to assist him despite differences.

      My suggestion is that the president should call for the national conference on contact and dialogue to lay out action point in case of the court ruling no matter which part will win there will be problems.We have to prepare on how to go a head.MR president I plead with you engage the other leaders to dialogue all will be well.After all we are all Malawians.LET US BUILD ONE MALAWI ONE NATION.AMEN

  24. Mr James kadadzera. Don’t you know the reason why this youth doing this? The reason is they are not getting what they have been promised from people like you and that Animal you call Peter mutharika. Just wait soon you will see this you call violence turn into peace when we going to have a good leader in this country because the you are not happy with DPP include Malawi police.

  25. The youth have radicalised bcoz you Mr president and your hand clappers are robbing them their hard earned money through different means of tax policies.

    There is nothing to show that u have done through their money u have collected that’s why Karonga and Nsundwe forces are taking the law into their own hands.

    If not well addressed, expect more trouble from the youth of all corners of Malawi. The youth have realised that you leaders they entrust are corrupt to the core.

  26. Guys ,Chilombo chotchedwa Nsundwe ndi chilombo chachabe chitakhala kuti ndi Nsabwe ndikapempha asilikali adzachiombere ndi nyena zonse zomwe chilombochi chaikira , koma poti ndi anthu zilekeni zikulire limodzi.

  29. Not surprisaing though done by the uneducated bastards under the Command of gthe Burundian General Timoth Ntambo. Even the army will fail to contain these thugs as they are gaining ground and creating their base and soon these thugs will start acquiring fire arms and they will be rebels. I thinlk we have given Ntambo a lot of space and its high time he went to see his maker.
