Mtambo calls for an end to Malawi cycle of violence: Slain police officer buried
Fierce rights activist Timothy Mtambo has now turned to President Peter Mutharika to institute a dialogue taskforce to end the current political impasse which on Tuesday claimed a life of a senior police officer in Lilongwe.
Speaking to journalists on Wednesday in Lilongwe, the Human Rights Defenders (HRDC) chairperson said the current political impasse calls for political solutions.
“The President should institute a task force for dialogue over the current political impasse,” said the fearless rights activist behind the anti-Jane Ansah protests.
He strongly condemned the brutal killing of Police Mobile Service (PMS) Superintendent Usumani Imedi who was clobbered to death by a mob at Msundwe on the outskirts of Lilongwe Cityon Wednesday.
The officer had gone to Nsundwe to pacify a volatile situation when a vigilante group calling itself Nsundwe forces blocked the Lilongwe-Mchinji road.
“Any form of violence should not be tolerated in the country,” said Mtambo.
He also called on the police to refrain from what he called exerting pressure on the arrested suspects, saying they are innocent until proved guilty by a competent court of law.
As Mtambo was speaking in the Capital City, kilometres away at Katuli in Mangochi relatives, the police, the Muslim community and other mourners were burying Imedi.
The killing of Imedi has shocked the nation and Malawians expected all the warring political parties; the government and the opposition to unite in grief and find lasting solutions to the escalating political tension in the country.
According to National Police spokesperson James Kadadzera Imedi, who was stationed at PMS C Company in Lilongwe and had just completed a two-month leadership and crowd control training course.
Said Kadadzera: “This heinous act has no place in Malawi and as police we condemn it in the strongest terms. We will also investigate this death and all suspects will be taken to court to be prosecuted according to the law.”
Kadadzera said another PMS officer, Superintendent Gani who sustained injuries during anti-Jane Ansah protests in August, died on Tuesday at Kamuzu Central Hospital where he was due to undergo a surgery.
Besides Imedi’s death, one other police officer was injured in the Msundwe fracas.

The thugs who have been arrested at Nsundwe are the thugs that Ntambo has been hiring to cause violence and destruction. People of Mangochi dont take this lughtly you need to teach this bastard a lesson. Kamuzu failed to defeat you and who is this stupid boy.
President Peter Mutharika also hire thugs who hacked Mayaya and teargased patients at Queens. Tit for Tat
Iwe Mtambo ndiwe wosokonekera kwambiri why now that you say those suspects are innocent until proven guilty by court of law? Kodi sizomwe ife tikukupemphani inu kuti why can’t you wait for the court to determine whether MEC was wrong in 2019 elections but still exerting pressure on Jane to resign why why? Mtambo Mtambo, Trapecne Trapence, Sembereka, Chakwera, Chilima be careful becoz God is a faithful judge koma u have destroyed katundu wa anthu samalani samalani and concious ikuphani enanu just shortly.
The Court did not employ JANE
It is terrifying when these people who have the sole aim of wrecking a country are given any attention.
Our leaders what is even more terrifying is that you are operating business as usual.
Anyone who calls themselves a leader in our beautiful land has to work to cool down the political tensions simmering in our land.
Are people still listening to Mtambo. How did the MP’S approve stadium constructions. He still remains a big joke.
wasatanic wamkulu ndi peter mutharika and jane ansah
Mulungu akukhululukire ndithu, ndipo achite nawe ndithu ndimayesa Chakwera ananena kuti pakhesedwa mwazi ndipo omwe achita izi ndi ana ake? Kuluza kwa nkhosa yothawi mchalichi ndikumapita kundale ndikumeneku, Chakwera ndiye wasatanic wamkulu anathawa nkhosa za Mulungu
Choka wachamba iwe mwazi womwe ankakamba chakwera wakwaniritsidwa and is happy mulekeni he has forgotten kuti abale ali kumwera be careful chakwera chakwera chakwera samala!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Jane Ansah, do you want to be credited as a woman who has started civil war in Malawi? See how people are killed, Pastor. On judgement day you will be accountable for the loss of these people. The Almighty Savior will judge you. Please do the right thing.
Your only problem is that you voted for a losing presidential candidate
Vuto lanu ndikusavomereza u can see kuti ngakhale ku court u r failing to produce umboni kuti ma vote anaberedwa u will be haunted soon !!!
HRDC undermines the sitting President for having won alleged rigged elections and now they want the same President to initiate dialogue? In every dialogue it is give and take, HRDC from on set wants to bite the whole cake. You don’t go for dialogue when you are uncompromising…
Leaders who have access to the media, making careless remarks. Now what? some of these deaths are preventable if we learnt how to use our mouths properly. How many orphans do you want to create? Mawa ndinutu zinazi osamasekerera. Go read animal farm.
THATS THE DUTY OF PRESIDENT TO QUITE THIS SITUATION
who is the President? Inu nomwe mukuti kulibe President. Today your son after killing a policeman, you say it the duty of the president to pacify the situation. Let Chakwera, Chilima, Mtambo and Trapence tell their boys to cool. I head stupid Chilima singing with protestors kuti Tisaope. Ngati mukuti there is no president, Prince Harry anakumana ndi ndani? Why not waiting for the court to determine the case. Jane Ansa clearly said , she will resign if the court rules that there was wrong doing. Remember empty tins make a lot of noise. God gave us peter who has substance in his brain. He even drafted your constitution. Wait soon Jane Ansa will take these empty tins to court and they know that. Tell the Chakweras, Chilima Mtambo and Trapence to go to Police to redeem their youths. Aziyamba dala. Salima fodya chaka chino.
Which god you talking about?, you stupid mtundu.
Kulibe President kumene
SHAME THAT THERE ARE REBELS IN NSINDWE EMERGING TO DESTROY OUR BEAUTIFUL NATION!
So mtambo, now you want police to refrain from exerting pressure, why? Are you afraid the culprits will implicate you in the murder of the police officer.
Our MPS always puzzle me.They act very fast on other things but especially when it comes to the opposition side but to the ruling party they pretend as if nothing has happened.That is why we call these police as unprofessional.Just some few weeks ago DPP cadets wanted to kill Billy Mwayaya in full view of the police but they just turned a blind eye on it.All the ring leaders they know them but to them DPP Cadets are angels.After that Mchacha issued a press by recommending those DPP thugs,did our MPS record a caution warning statement to Mchacha,NO.That is how unprofessional these policemen and women are to the nation.Now we have lost a cop because people have lost trust on the MPS,wherever they sees a police to them its like an enemy.Lets change the way we treat each other for our better Malawi.MAY THE SOUL OF IMEDI REST IN INTERNAL PEACE!
When history books will be read in 2025 there will be more people killed under DPP regime than during One party rule of MCP. What DPP people miss is to recognise that unity is strength…but the President went to an international Tv to chastise MCP and Kamuzu Banda who Bay (Aljazeera journalist) recognize as our founding father (Bingu was better here). Hate whichever party but we are all Malawians-a government of National unity in not only needed but a way to go in this polarised country until Malawians are given needed education to stand on neutral ground when choosing a leader. Peter can talk even on high volume chimkuza mawu but truth is people are tired of politics of “wakwithu”…
A Mtambo, you mean Jane Ansah deserves your cruelity though not proven guility? But suspects are innocent until proven guility? SHAME ON YOU SATANIST
Mtambo is Satanic I agree.
your very stupid you DPP guys u mean you don’t know that this country is in trouble because of Peter and Jane, if you want peace in this country kindly go and talk with peter opanda mano mkamwa uja kuti azilankhula bwino komaso avomeleze kuti sanawine tikavoteso apo biii forget about piece in this country and this is just a preamble but we are coming there soon
My Advice to Mr Mtambo….Never be Shaken …Your Uncle was killed by a Police Vehicle ….Ati yinalibe Magesi …In Rumphi recently a Headmaster’s house was Destroyed and his Vehicle …Burnt During Anti Quota System Demos …Just because he did not Release his Students ….to Take Part…There is alot of Anger Out there …it’s not Your Fault …Blame a System of Government which has Encouraged Tribal Divisions …What do People say ? Boma la Alomwe Iri .What is being done kuti Anthu Onse Aziti Boma Lathu not la Alomwe …I think the President is not being told the Truth or May be he does not ….Care.You Can Hate Mtambo or Kill him but that Won’t change the Reality on the Ground….
I do not subscribe to the idea of killing someone, a police officer killed its bad, but how many people has the Malawi police killed in line of duty? How many have been taken to jail for killing an civilians. Muslim or not Police Officer or not let those behind this be taken to court. And also the cadets who attempted murder Billy Mayaya, those who killed Chasowa, those who killed 21 civilians in 2011 all be taken to court of law. Let us not be biased on this one.
True this ‘double standards’ approach to equitable justice is perfect seedbed for perpetual civil strife.

It is important to be fair to all. MBC is the most unprofessional radio in Malawi why dont you talk about it? All the radios mentioned here would be better and professional in comparison to MBC which you and your evil beings have jelously and fraudulently possesed. Stop the nosense. Malawi shall never be the same. :earn to embrace honesty and transparency. Not your tribal stupid inclinations you waffle here
Mthambo you are now fearing death. Don’t think you are very far from the one who created death. He is in your blood. If you THINK this UNIVERSAL IS IN YOUR HANDS GO ON.
..piece of shit Mtumbo. You have nothing to say. Who R u? Other than being a ass licker of Joyce Banda and gule chakwera.Let the battle continue.Simumati paja Osawopa! All reasonable people have spoken even STD1 pupils u didn’t listen. Wait for courts now u know one has to be proven guilty first.Idiot!shame! Shut ur stupid mouth bitch nigga! every Malawian except MCP/PP supporters owes the right to slap you! something need to be inserted in ur wind pipe! Go to hell& shut up!
There is no issue here. As a police officer he was ready to die in such circumsta ces. He was not a civilian. Soldiers die during wars.
Yes, occupational hazard
There is no issue here . He has simply died in the line of duty. It is very normal for police officers to die during riots. Just like it is normal for a soldier to die during war
Amangidwe mtambo yo pa Court mpira sakuuwona mcp ndi utm mbwerela zokhazokha.
Jane Ansah must be celebrating over the moon over the death of the policeman. She already stated that she do not like Muslims and the policeman who died is a Muslim. She must be having the time of her life.
Was it not Mutharika who instituted a dialogue between Mtambo + group with Dr. B. Muluzi and in turn chose to treat him like a kid? What sort of dialogue is he talking about here? Is he coming to his sense now after lives have been lost due to uncalled for demonstrations? Mark my word, all perpetrators toward this heinous acts will be haunted one way or the other. Moto wa munthu saseweretsa ngati ndi galu.
Mtambo is a fool and ignorant person. When did he know that a person is innocent until proven guilty by a court of law? If he is knowledge of this premise, why is he calling for Jane Ansah resignation who has not been proven guilty by Court of Law? This guy is a very dull person Malawi has never had since 1800. Jason you are very right. Mtambo needs to be send to early grave if peace has to prevail in Malawi.
Selective amnesia sydrome
Mtambo should be there last person to speak about Usunani’s death. In his speeches he incites public anger against the police. What did he expect would happen? This was his intention and desire. May God have mercy on your soul Timothy Mtambo, Chakwera, Chilima, Ansah and Mutharika.
Mtambo…Nsundwe Barracks are your boys you have always ferried to Lilongwe during demos. You have trained them and prepared them for evil acts…John 3 vs 16
ACTUALLY DONT CALL THESE BARBARICS FORCES OR BARRACKS, THEY ARE MCP CADETS FULL STOP!!! WHY DO YOU GIVE THESE CRIMINALS NICE NAMES???
Mtambo usamawatenge a Malawi ngati zisiru .You are now to your senses becoz a police officer has lost a life .Remember a chair invited you and your colleagues KU mpingwe to sort out this issue .what was your response ? My friend what ever you are doing you should know kuti God is alive .You may think kuti anthu sakukuwona chifukwa ukumapanga contact my financier Anu usiku .koma remember God eye siligona .All these innocent souls that are being she’d will come to your doorstep one day .Mukunamizira Jane Asah ,kuti ndiye amene akupangisa izi .Mukuyiwala kuti the same issue is in court .why can’t you wait kuti akhoti agwire nthchito yawo .Ngati Ansah Ali olakwa a court atiwuza .To Mcp ,party you have saying the party is now rebranded .Pali za bwino apa do you expect malawians to transt you .What ever you are doing whether day or night remember God of Moses ,Aron and God of those killed by your boys in the name of mademo is watching and he can not allow ana ake avivutika .If you are not going to be answerable here in the world .kumwamba mukadikire kuyankha zimenezi.Mademo osewa anthu anawonera a chakwera a chilima .you two being leaders ,illiterate people a kumudzi akuwona ngati izi ndizabwino .A chakwera ngati mumakonda ziko tell your boys to stop this malpractice .God is the God of peace .Violence can not you take to state house .If so nanunso muzachoka ndi violence .Imagine mmene zakhaliramu is there chance for Mcp to go to Mangochi and campaign ? Muziwona patali .
TRUE THIS STORY!!! DONT FIGHT AGAINST GOD!!! LEADERSHIP IS ENACTED BY GOD. AND GOD SAYS RESPECT YOUR LEADERSHIP!!! IF ELECTIONS WERE TO BE HELD TODAY, OPPOSITION WILL LOSE MISERABLY. I FORESEE THE WHOLE EASTERN REGION, MANGOCHI, MACHINGA VOTING DPP ERNOUMOUSLY AS WELL AS THOSE WHO DID NOT REGISTER IN THE SOUTHERN REGION REGISTERING ERNOUMOUSLY!!! GOD WILL RESTORE THE DPP LEADERSHIP JUST AS HE RESTORED UHURU KENYATTA OF KENYA AFTER A RERUN.
Not Mtambo I beg to.move
I’m fast beginning to hate this animal. I hate hypocrisy
Mr.
The blood of this policeman is on your hands Timothy. Lero mukuzimva udolo all because innocent people are suffering, in your name of demonstrations
Madamu achikhaladi mayi miyawo miyawo nde mumaliza tindalama tasalato kwa madokotala. Mungawamalize madokotala dziko lapansi???? Ndetu mwayaluka!!!!
The police in Malawi are too teargas trigger-happy. Even when there is no need, they fire teargas. They think it is a game and I am happy they are being killed and many more should and will go
One day deaths will visit your doorstep thus when you will realise how it feels to lose a loved one. Ziyankhula zopusa zakozo, ukuzitemberea wekha. You don’t know me, I can prophesy danger on you but for the sake of God’s mercy let me not. Warning: talk no shit on the death of someone or else same will befall you . take this advice seriously.
Ooh so now Mtembo says innocent until proven guilty. How about the same measure for Jane Ansah you hypocrite
He is a simple animal with no soul. Mtambo has chosen a very wrong path and his end will be terrible. I’m afraid his clock is ticking too fast. Just watch if his “prominence” will last one year from now. I hate hypocrisy
Ko ko ko ko ko ko, what a valid point u have brought forward.Iwe Mtambo, why are you not holding to that same principle?? Ansah has to be proved by the courts that she did do her work professionally, apo biii, she will still b MEC boss.
You should also investigate all other deaths that have occurred to others before.
Starting with your death which is to come soon than later. You talk nonsense.
Sad end, Mutharika, Chilima, chakwera, Jane ansah are all home to night having s**
Mtambo doesn’t know what he is talking about. These people have killed a police officer, a husband, a son and brother to some people. It’s unrealistic to say that no pressure must be exerted on them. The police need to exert pressure until the culprits mention all the group members of Nsundwe forces. These guys need to be dealt with without mercy. They are criminals and their criminality is overdue. They have been perpetrating violence at Nsundwe for a long time. They need to be taught a lesson.
THEY ARE NOT FORCES BUT MCP CADETS!!!
Stupid mtambo, satanic. Tikuons kumene upiteee
The blood of this man is on your hands Mtambo with Gift Trapence and Chakwera and Chilima. You cant start now sounding like you don’t like violence! How many businesses have you ruined? How many lives have you ruined? Jane Ansah said if the courts find me in the wrong I will resign! Why cant you wait for that? You are trying to make your name on other people’s blood You will pay heavily for this cruelty you are inciting in Malawi. Accept it there may have been irregularities in the election but not enough to change the results and courts are almost showing that already!!!
Why u people saying like the police officer killed on demonstration. Why blaming mtambo for his death!? You must blame your president for having political Larry in Lilongwe and all of this its because of pitala do not point at mtambo chakwera a d others
HOLDING A POLITICAL RALLY IN LILONGWE I THE RIGHT OF DPP THAT THE HUMAN RIGHTS DEFENDERS SHOULD DEFEND VEHEMENTLY!!!! MTAMBO SHOULD PROTECT THIS RIGHT OF DPP JELOUSLY!!!! NOWHERE IN MALAWI IS A NO GO AREA FOR ANY MALAWIAN!!!!
Point
Malawi has a heartless leader. Muthalika is not to lead a once peaceful Malawi and will go down in history as the worst president surpassing Bakili Muluzi. Muthalika is stubborn. Jane Ansah is stubborn and a killer as well. All we should know is that everyone has a right to life be it a snake or an insect. More importantly human beings rely on each other. We have families. Does Pitala know this? Does Jane Ansah know this? To Jane how would you feel if Bona or Umphawi or Jolly were butchered in this way? A Pitala doesn’t have a family here in Malawi and he was supposed to rot in a nursing home in USA.
Mr Mtambo you have no right to ask for a dialogue from the person you say you dont recognise as Malawis leader. You have caused a lot of mess in the Central and North, you have been used to undermine the leadership of this Nation, you have blood in your hands. God will Judge you at the appropriate time, unless you repent
Mtambo, dziwani kuti pupulupupulu anaphwanyidwa ndi manyi. Kuchenjera out of 19mn people si udolo. Ndanena ndanena
This idiot Timothy mBurunfi Ntumbo is squarely responsible for the death of late Usumani Imedi. You are the lead mercenary for the failed fake accent ex-reverend Nyolonyo Yona Lazarus Chakwera and his henchmen like Chimeendo. Get lost and rot in hell.
Mtambo and his masters must not say one is guilty only after the court’s ruling.People have persistently said it on their actions against Ansa.They have trained people to be lawless.You Msundwe people pin these people they should not turn away from you.Asakuthaweni apitireni kumanyumba so.Iwo akunjoya ndi Ana ao.
These are very sad developments for our country. Chonde atsogoleri (a ndale) tisayang’anire muvi, utilowa mmaso. Lord have mercy on Malawi
Mtambo you are dtuoidy. You knew the outcome of the violence. We need your head now.Give us back our relatives otherwise we will deal with you.
You thought you are clever. You and Chakwwra will see over our dead bodies.
Mwaputa muyawo muona
