  1. This is a good development however I think the headline could have been about the people who died in this particular crime. Lets put people first before property damaged

    1. Chimwendo the minister was tipped with information and detailed situation in Salima . We even gave names of the people involved including the time of arrival in Malawi so if you are indeed a Malawian please do the same with Kaliati and tell Chimwendo or the police direct the full info about Kaliati. We want a better Malawi. Osati za usilu zomangobwetuka ngati gala wachiwewe. Believe me thats the best way to check if indeed Mr President is sincere in his talks.

  3. I totally endorse this witch hunt. Afiti onse hunt them, nail them in court, toss them into the cooler ( or is it heater ? ), and throw away the keys.🤺🎯 ⛓🔗🔒…….🔑

  4. Local UTM officials must also be arrested for putting the tambala family in danger. That small party was negligent and put innocent family at risk of mistaken identity.

  5. When will Nsundwe MCP thugs be imprisoned? When will MCP thugs who beat DPP monitors be arrested.

  6. Mfiti yaikazi Grezelder wa Jeffrey spoke mwamwano kuti these people died because of their negligence as they used to sell fuel at the premises. Now is the time the truth comes out! We want to know what happened and we want to see the culprits face the law! Nyekhwe is working wonders!
