Mtambo attacks Atupele, strikes a chord in MCP stronghold

May 15, 2020 Wanga Gwede - Nyasa Times 41 Comments

Former firebrand human rights activist Timothy Mtambo who joined frontline politics through a political movement Citizens for Transformation (CFT) turned the campaign mood into great excitement of the crowd of hundreds of people who had gathered at Lumbadzi in Lilongwe when campaigned for electoral alliance between Malawi Congress Party (MCP) and UTM Party.

Hundreds of people turned out for the whistle-stop meetings  organised by MCP  in its Central Region stronghold areas of  Lumbadzi, Dowa Turn off, Msakambewa, Dowa Boma and Mvera mission.

When the boisterous politician Mtambo took to the podium, clad in his black beret – his catchy trademark – the crowd greeted him with loud cheers.

The “Commander-In-Chief” of CFT-People Power Movement took much time attacking United Democratic Front (UDF) president Atupele Muluzi, who is running mate to President Peter Mutharika of Democratic Progressive Party (DPP).

Mtambo quashed what Atupele has been saying in his campaign rallies that Malawians should vote for Mutharika, saying he is a tried and tested leader.

“What experience is Atupele talking about? Is it experience of thieving? Atupele has no experience, I have more competence in statecraft than Atupele,” said Mtambo.

In the course of his unscripted speech, Mtambo mercilessly ridiculed Atupele and Mutharika.

But between the jabs and the jokes, he stressed that his movement will assist MCP and UTM Party and their alliance partners to unseat President Mutharika and his DPP in the fresh presidential election.

Polling is due on July 2, but could be brought forward to June 23 by parliament, according to Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC).

The ‘Commander-in-Chief’ said DPP and UDF have presided over “great mess” in the country since 1994 and “do not represent the aspirations of our people, its time they should be ejected from power.”

Mtambo made a name as chairperson of Human Rights Defenders Coalition (HRDC) with their militant approach to fighting for people’s rights. President Mutharika and his governing DPP cadres often branded the grouping political, arguing that it was bent to fault government while treating the opposition with kid gloves.

  1. atupele is the real future at your house , this is Malawi siziko lamuntu ma banja amozi zimenezo amalawi tinakana ngati

  3. The beginning of the fall of Mtambo….he has turned the minds of Malawians into violence. Even his dressing tells it all. How many Malawians have lost their propeties and bussiness due to his so called demos? Yet Ansah is still on the seat. I thought using law to throw Ansah out was the best altenative… shallow minded only will follow him.

  4. Mtambo reminds me of MYP cadres kapena titi a Kayombe wa kumpoto amakhala wa nkhanza eish. Osayiwala ndi amene anayambisa operation bwezani Ku Mzuzu. Takana MCP ndi Pioneer wawo wamkulu Mtambo

  5. So some of you see a leader in mtambo? With all the violence which was sponsored by UTMCP but executed by mtambo who can vote for these terrorists? Malawians, let us not make a mistake. UTMCP is very violent and rough and the situation can be worse if given power. Nobody shall be able to say anything if Chakwera and friends shall assume power because they are too autocratic and heavy handed.

    Choose APM, choose peace, choose development.

  6. Otsutsa mwasokonezekadi ndi Atupele
    Moti ndizoona kuti wapangitsa kukokolola anthu ochuluka kubwelela kuUDF-DPP
    ACHINYAMATA NDI AKULU OMWE
    Koma Ntambo ndiye musamuyedzamile
    Anthu ndi okwiyanaye ndizija
    ZOWAONONGELA AKATUNDU ENA ANADUKAKUMENE maka ku BLK
    OHOOH

  7. Guys kunena zoona INE wa MCp, Atupele sakutimwetsa madzi. Watimenya panchombo. Onse ovina gule okunguti Type Tupe omwewo. OCilima otiputsitsa. No wonder we Said ntamvo was supporting MCp. Because of the violence people now have changed their minds.Wagwa nayo ntambo uvala thewera chaka Chino
    Atupele more fire . Ntambo go to south ukaone malodza

    1. One Malawi,one nation.Ndale zanu zazigawozo tatopa nazo.we are tired of violence politics.Let anybody campaign anywhere.Let the brains win and not the braws.Wake up from your slumber.

  8. Mtambo thinks people came to hear his nonsense, in fact they came to see who the fool he was in causing havoc to most people and their businesses. In addition, he thinks he can fool us by his direction he has taken, supporting the Tiri tonse alliance. U dont bring a fool to succeed and u can c the fall of MCP and UTM plus this bustard called Mtambo. Malawians are very clever and Mtambo has actually taken away followers of MCP and UTM to the other parties and thats how the fall will be. He pretends to make CFT a neutral party and yet he is supporting the Tiri tonse alliance. This now makes sense of all those stupid things he was doing, it was for the opposition and not for the good of the country.

    1. @Cairo
      Akamati chamba ndi choipa, this is what they mean. Anyway seek help before it is too late

    3. Dpp supporters comments are bitter coz for sure they know Will be ejected by pipos vote. Your president must contest as a district governor of dpp .has proven unfit to unite the country. Malawi needs new vision pliz guys. Malawi is a great country but is being let down by poor leadership.

  9. Atupele is as clueless as his boss APM. The young man is a disappointment because the youth of this country expected originality from him and yet all he ranting about is to prop the Methuselah of Malawi.

    Mutharika must be extremely careful because Atupele’s mission is to revenge what the late Bingu did to his ruthless father who will stop at nothing but take Malawi back to Kapoloma. Memories are still fresh about his Third and Open Term bids.

    You have been warned.

    1. That’s true and just imagine if Muthalika with his sickness decide to stop being president do you think young Atupere can lead Malawi. For sure what he want is to revenge ndiye agogo a Peter kusamva. Paja ukamamfa amati amayamba ndi makuti.
      The good thing ndi chakuti a Malawi apenya pano. Peter he could have been done better but people who sorounded him they have made him to become enemies of Malawi. Now it’s like we are living in Banana Republic, no Police force, No president only acting an incomplete president.

  10. This idiot Ntumbo was used by the fake accent ex-reverend Lezala Nyolonyo and his crime partner Zeze over the past 10 months to loot, burn, stone and main in Lilongwe. As the video clip circulated, to make Malawi ungovernable as precursor to an illegitimate regime change. Their main motivation: atumbuka call it Dhyerrha. Tell us real campaign issues instead of wasting our space with insults on Atupele.

  11. Timothy learn to appreciate..Atupele has been an MP for fifteen years and Cabinet Minister as well..what experience do you have? Planning demonstrations..resigning from the so called Human right body when infact you were sent by your two Masters to cause unrest and civil disobedience…shame on you guy..we need facts based campaign osati zopusazo…..you think you can match Julius Malema..iweyo wachepa kwambiri

  13. I wonder if COVID 19 is realty in our beloved country?? If so?? Why so many people without masks or social distance or distancing?? Secondly,what were these children doing?? Are they going to vote??? My fellow poor Malawian
    children.Very sad!!!

  14. Mtambo is a bully, Killer, merciless murderer. He always incites violence. Why r Malawians applauding him?

  16. Chilungamo chokhachokha Atupele alibe experience ndikuba basi.Like father like son.Atupele amafuna mofewa basi. sachedwa kulumphaso.Visionless young man.MALAWIANS REMEMBER TO WEAR MASKS IN PUBLIC PLACES AND SAVE LIVES.

  18. Now the gay master has started speaking. The agreement between him and tonse is that once they go into government they should introduce same sex marriage. Ntambo puts on black as a sign that he practices underworld activities and gayism and lesbianism are the rituals. Ntambo and Semberaka used to fuck while at HRDC and Ntambo had to leave because Sembereka infected him with HIV when they were fucking.

    2. Is there another gay master other than the one at State House? Ask Billy Kaunda.

    3. You were not there the Time when Bingu was the President, have you heard of Aunt Tionge? We don’t subscribe your culture of Fisi@ Zio Ine! Muzichita kwanukomweko zamathanyulazo pamodzi ndi mathanyula wanuyo!

  19. I think Mtambo was well suited for activism and not political leadership. Why waste time attacking Atupele instead of explaining what change you’ll bring? Take a lear from Malema. He sent to school for a masters degree and his firebrand speeches are underpinned by ideological stand, osamangoti unseat APM. Once you unseat him then what?

    1. The same with Atupele, he was supposed to be fishing a Chule, why always speaking nonsense?@Covid19 Phiri

  20. Its my choice to vote for the president i know. Just talk about your party what you will do if ellected into power not waisting tyme criticising other. U mean expricence of making Demos destroying others properties? Shame on you Tomothy

        1. From 1994 it’s muluzi ndi Mutharika families and some of you foolish people it’s okay. Can the nation be lead by two families only? Kaya mufune kaya musafune koma tikukasankha president wina Chakwera pa June 23. Mutharika ku Thyolo, Benson Makings ku Thyolo, Mary hule Navicha ku Thyolo, Charles bloody Mchacha ku Thyolo! Taking Malawi as your doormart! Your days are numbered cadets watch out.

  21. Mtambo the hate is real. Atupele is light years away from a hoodrat like you. Patali kobasi.

    1. Mtambo, you dont’know anything i think the MCP alliance has bribed you. Atupele is areal future light, you shut up.
