Email a copy of 'Nsanje ‘hyenas’ flee into caves as Malawi police look for 9 over sex crime' to a friend
Almost two months after introducing the K750,000 Lefnos Chigamula Central Region Pool League sponsorship, Lilongwe based business magnet Lefnos Chigamula...
Who in Malawi does not know that this curtural practice exit. Moreover I heard this man on one of our local tv stations sometime back. Why did the president not acted then. Because it has appeared in foreign press then it becomes news worthy. Chiefs are the custodians of our culture and they are the one to be arrested. Arrest Chief Malemia first and all the chiefs in the lower shire. Illiterate parents are the ones who allow their girls to be abused in this manner otherwise this Fisi who doing a service to the community of which he was… Read more »
ku Nsanje si kokwatila because it means kulibe mkazi wachilungamo onse anakweledwapo.
I have been following this story with keen interest. It reminded me of another hot topic on LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender). Most of us have been quick to dismiss the practice as alien, a bad influence on our culture. We had assumed our culture is perfect and we would not allow gays and lesbians to dent it. The clergy are quick to condemn gays but so far I am yet to hear any man of God condemning hyenas raising havoc in Nsanje. Is this evil cultural practice imported? No, it is our own creation. Just as there have… Read more »
Sad that we have to wait for a British Journalist to publish this in order for us to take action while all our leaders, Chiefs, Members of Parliament, the Police and probably religious leaders are aware of this practice and just watch.
Zoona, makolowonso amangidwe chifukwa ndi amene amapereka ana awo ku zitsiruzi. Do you know how mainful it is when you are a virgin? Nde bambo mkulukulu ngati ameneyo wa chi experience si amangowavulaza anawo….painful
This story was very disturbing to say the least when I first read it on BBC last week. It brings some comfort that the ‘hyena’ in the documentary has been arrested; it sends a clear message that this practice (sex with underage girls) is illegal and punishable. However – had BBC not reported on the story, would this man have ever been detected? Credit to the president for acting swiftly, but surely it should be a law enforcement officer ordering the arrest? Or was the lure of positive PR too great for the president to resist? A pattern is starting… Read more »
Koma ameneyu bwanji nkhopeyo akufanana ndi Dausi.
Komatu munthu wadya bwino uyu eti, kuyambira 1980 akupanilira tiwasungwana, tamabele oyima bwino ngati mapeyala, tanthete mbina zogwirika, kukwata mopanga malira mpaka kuwazira, aah, uli bwino bwanawe. kkkkk
Kayatu…ungamve bwanji ali mwana wako? Bwanji ma comment athuwa adzikhala olangiza ndi kuthandizana nzeru after all sitidziwana.
I heard most of the BBC radio report of this story and almost retched while driving. Aniva even “protested” that he didn’t like to initiate girls as young as 12 because they cried. He preferred them to be closer to 15. I sent up a quick prayer that this pervert and others like him would be stopped. Child rape is NOT culture. So glad I saw this report. I hope they follow through after the spotlight is off the issue. Kudos to the reporting team.
Anthropogists would advice you to engage the culture.. Participatory approach. Help the people believe in something new.
If you fight them legally, they will just find a way of practicing it in hiding.
That is why I feel the proactive way of dealing with this issue is to encourage eduaction. But because we can never educate our society because of daily theft of public funds, we have to fight corruption first by arresting and prosecuting the 7 named cashgate ministers.
Pressure Mutharika to arrest 7 Cashgate Ministers, else Mutharika Must Fall! Calling on western governments to help our NGOs and opposition parties to mount massive pressure on this corrupt government of Mr. Mutharika.
Mutharika must fall!
