Parliament’s Caucus tells PP’s Matola to apologise to all Malawi women over derogatory remarks
Parliament’s powerful women committee has told People’s Party (PP) secretary general Ibrahim Matola to apologise to all women following his demeaning statement against Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) chairperson Jane Ansah on Friday in Blantyre during an electoral meeting.
PP Secretary General used some words which many viewed as abusive during a National Elections Consultative Forum (Necof) meeting organised by the electoral body in Blantyre to update political stakeholders following the nullification of the May 21 2019 presidential elections.
Matola told Ansah to immediately leave the pollster and should take with her the bras and knickers.
Lonnie Chijere Chirwa, the chairperson of the Women Caucus of parliament says an apology which Matola made to Ansah immediately after uttering the insulting words is not enough.
“All women in the country have been offended by what Honourable Matola said. They are disturbed. He needs to apologise to all women,” she said.
Former president and leader of the PP Joyce Banda was the first to publicly condemn Matola for insulting and using abusive language against Ansah.
Banda, who is a champion of global women, described Matola’s action as scandalization, smear campaigns and abusive language being used against women aimed at breaking them when the same does not happen to their male counterparts.
Last year, Banda also strongly condemned senior Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) official and former Minister of Local Government and Rural Development Ben Phiri after he uttered insulting remarks against former First Lady Patricia Shanil Muluzi, saying as far as she was concerned women need to be respected.
“It is in this light that I condemn in the strongest terms what Matola said about Justice Dr Jane Ansah when he was making his contribution at the NECOF meeting in Blantyre,” said Banda.
She said there are many things Ansah could have done or said during this electoral process that the former president does not agree with, but the MEC chairperson does not deserve to be spoken to in that manner.
Added Banda: “I am told that Hon Matola has apologised but I am very sorry about this apparent abuse of a fellow woman and regardless of who has made the remarks, I condemn them in the strongest manner.”
Ansah is facing more insults and swearing in social media platforms for her and other MEC commissioners refusal to step down at the pollster following findings by the Constitutional Court and parliament that the May 21 presidential election was grossly marred with irregularities.

So our Malawian women do not have Bras and knickers, they walk bare inside?
So our women do not have Bras and knickers? You are walking bare inside?
RECENTS, Thut’s Total rubbish!
Zopusa basi. If I were Matola, I wouldn’t do such a thing.
Women caucus, we hear you. However, Matola insulted the person we are all insulting day and night, drunk or sober, happy or sad. She simply is not a reflection of a woman you aspire to be. At least Matola apologised. Some of us would not.

Azimayiwa koma sakudzudzula mzawo Jane Ansah bwanji!!!!
WHY SHOULD HE A APOLOGISE?
BETWEEN THE TWO OF THEM I THINK JANE
IS THE RIGHT PERSON TO APOLOGISE FOR WHAT
HE DID TO THE NATIONAL.
MATOLA DON’T A POLOGISE THIS WOMAN SHE IS WASTING OUR TAX MONEY FOR NOTHING WHILE OUR BELOVED BROTHERS AND SISTERS ARE DRYING IN THE HOSPITALS BECAUSE OF NO DRUGS.
Matola is an example of so many stupid men in Malawi who think they know better than women.
Matola is an example of so many wise men who don’t tolerate shit from pussies like Ansah.
Jane Ansah for president.
The man apologized there and then and thats enough. What i see now is that these women want to make fool of him. Why do you want to degrade the man who even apologized after realizing his mistakes? If Jane Ansah represents all women, then by apologizing to Jane Ansah he automatically apologized to all women in Malawi. Why do you want to make this issue bigger? Ndimaonatu ngati azimai ndi anthu okhululuka msanga koma ndaona kuti nonse ndinu ma Jane Ansah. Do you even forgive your husbands when they apologize to you? If at all you are married.
YOU CAN AS WELL BLAME THE MEDIA BECAUSE THATS THEIR SELLING POINT…. THEY GO FOR ANYTHING THAT CAN CAPTURE ATTENTION OF MASSES!!
Great comment a GOD EXIST. am a woman who is commenting here.He apologised to the offended. Why shud he apologise to you my fellow ladies. Lets no humiliate men for nothing. Let help them hold their diginity in the social realm. Jane Ansah is wrong and everyone knows this , she does not deserve a public apology. Hon Matola no apology to her. she is the one to announce a public apology to the nation both live and dead people if dead people are existing at all
Palibepo zopepesa here. Why is jane ansah not resigning??? This lady deserves this. She is an insult to all.women of malawi. No.one can be proud of her. She is one useless bitch. Asaaaaaaa.
Amake a Matola is the one who should Fu*k off with her bras and underpants
And your mother too! Fuck you.
Pamodzi ndi akonso chifukwa chosadzudzula JANE ANSAH……
If I was Matola and a true tax payer whose lost K40 billion plus becuase of Jane, I would withdraw my apology immediately. She has been found guilty by the Court and Parliment all we are waiting is sentencing in the Appeals court and after that prison. She will have no where else to appeal. It will be final.
VERY CORRECT….VERY, VERY, VERY CORRECT and promise to have it reinstated after JANE ANSAH APOLOGIZES FOR MAKING THE COUNTRY DESCEND INTO CHAOS!!!
When madness needs attention
Can someone help me with this, why should Matola apologise to all Malawi women? Who is that person who does not know that women wear bras and knickers?
Without condoning what Matola did, I think we should not blow this issue out of proportion.
Matola apologised to Mai Madando there and then and that was the right thing to do, but to ask him to apologise to all Malawi women I think that is a step too far and for what purpose?
Bras and knickers are not sacred garments, they are just the same as male underwear and should be treated as such.
This is why a lot of men in Malawi are serving jail sentences for exposing the modesty of a woman but I have never heard in my entire live of any person being jail for exposing the modesty of a man……can this idolisation of women genitalia come to an end, it’s ridiculous….
👌👌👌👍👍👍
He already apologised why should he apologise to all Malawian women? The insult was directed to an individual. Don’t abuse your power. If women are silly they can be insulted like anyone else.
Not surprising coming from PP let alone Ibrahim Matola. This man is full of anger having lost in the elections
HE MIGHT HAVE LOST THROUGH ELECTORAL MISMANAGEMENT CAUSED BY THE SAME JAZEBEL….JANE ANSAH!!!
AS we ask Matola to apologise we should not forget that it is Jane Ansah who is pushing the well meaning Malawians to go beyond the edge. This woman is rude, arrogant, evil, a liar, foolish and all characters associated with the devil are embolden in her by the devil himself. The women caucus of parliament should disown and rebuke her before she plunges women in a dark hole they will take year to move out of.
Stop cherry picking, so Mchacha can utter obscene language and its okay???? I don’t condone bad behaviour but if this is going to stop then all culprits should be treated equally to send a strong message to all foul mouthed men
Palibe ndikuona ine kuti Matola apepese woyenera kupepesa ndi nfiti ansah ku mtundu wa Malawi 🇲🇼 osamatembenuza inu zikukukondweletdani zimene akupanga nfiti ansah? Kapena mulibe maso ndi makutu kutha kuona ndi kumva zomwe zachitika ndi zikuchitika pa Malawi? Ulemu sitipepha kapena kugula mwamva?
Hope if the same words were said to your mother you could be happy
Especially your mother if she misbehaves the way Jane Ansah did……….real mothers could have resigned some time ago!!
You say the apology Matola made was not enough? What does this mean? What else did parliament’s caucus want from Matola? If you are not telling him what you want him say, how sure are you that he will say it? Is it the number of apologies or the honesty in him that matters when he is apologizing? This is too late and too useless!!
After all, as parliament’s caucus what is your message to Ansah since if not well handled, the most impact from what she is engineering may befall women and this time around it may be more that what happened at Msundwe!! Why are you (as parliament caucus) quite now when everything is clear that Ansah’s actions may trigger public disorder any time from now and that might be to the disadvantage of women and children? Azimayi chonde dzipangani act mofulumila ku nkhani zooonekelatu ngati izi chifukwa chipwilikiti chomwe chingabwele chifukwa cha zomwe mzimayi nzanuyu akuoneka akuyambitsa chidzakhudza kwambiri inu nomwe ndi ana!!
Who said women should not be insulted. When Ben Phiri insulted shanil and I didn’t see the kind of demand, when Mchacha insulted Kaliati, I didn’t see see kind of demand. Why Matola? In fact he already apologised to the person.
DOUBLE STANDARDS……
