Police vehicle hits, kills Mtambo’s uncle: Raise suspicions
A Malawi police vehicle in Chitipa has hit and killed instantly an uncle to outspoken human rights activist Timothy Mtambo, bringing fears of the safety of the activists and their families.
The death comes at a time when Mtambo and his Human Rights Defenders Coalition (HRDC) have heightened anti-Jane Ansah protests, drawing criticism and opposition from the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) operatives.
Police spokesperson in Chitipa Gladwell Simwaka has confirmed a police vehicle has crashed to death Binwell Mtambo.
The fatal accident, he said, took place on Thursday evening.
“The vehicle was coming from Lufita when it accidently hit Mr. Mtambo,” said Simwaka.
But HRDC chairperson in the district Sydney Simwaka said the accident is suspicious.
Simwaka said the vehicle had no head lights.
“We went to police after the incident, but it seems the vehicle in question does not have lights and this may have led to the accident,” he said.
Under the leadership of Mtambo, the HRDC has been organising protests aimed at forcing the resignation of Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) chairperson Jane Ansah.
They accuse Ansah of overseeing a fraudulent electoral process.
Never start a fight with the majority if you have few obvious hands.

This murder absolutely signifies Civil War on Tuesday.We are going to avenge this murder because we surely know that this was not an accident but the way of forcing HRDC to stop organising Demonstrations.One or two Police men must die on Tuesday, ‘mark my words’.
MALAWIANS ..THIS CAN ONLY BE THE HAND OF SOMEONE IN DPP. THEY HAVE BLOOD IN THEIR HANDS THEY ARE TALKING PEACE AND DIALOGUE YET THEY ARE PLAYING THE SYSTEM BEHIND.
GOD WILL FIGHT OUR BATTLES SOONER OR LATER KILLING INNOCENT SOULS JUST BECAUSE THEY WANT TO BE IN POWER WHAT AN EVIL. IT WILL BACK FIRE IN THEIR FACE THEY WANT TO CREATE FEAR IN ALL PEOPLE .IT WILL NOT WORK FOR THEM.
THE BATTLE LINE IS DRAWN …GOD HAS TAKEN OVER THIS WAR. HE WILL FIGHT FOR US MALAWIANS. DPP HAS BLOOD IN THEIR HANDS
DAUSI, MCHACHA, AND DPP CREW REPENT BEFORE ITS TOO LATE. ASK MULUZI WHEN HE WANTED THIRD TERM HE KILLED PEOPLE BUT GOD INTERVENED WE ARE WATCHING
Our turn to battle against POLICE.
What the story is missing is that the police vehicle is alleged to have no headlights at the time of the accident. Why were there no lights on police vehicle when it is the same police that ensures that motorists are driving roadworthy vehicles. Theirs too was not road worthy and this is a court case. In my view this was pre-planned. Jose continues to kill people, a desperate attempt to scare Mtambo and all demo organisers. Just a minute, you will pay price soon.
kkkkkkkkk yesterday you was happy for the dearth of Lomwes Chief today you said what? shame.
Dikilani mumve zalachiwiri likudzali ndiye mudzasekelere bwino.Tionana lachiwiri.
Kishobe iwe nde mbuzitu chief ta alhomwe ya mwalira ndi cancer.komaso he was too much into politics not wealthy to be chief. And chief ya alhomwe inakwera mothandizidwa ndi kondwani nankhumwa from group village headman to paramount within 2-3years not good.
Now this man has been hit by police car pre planned and cruel death. Wealth compassion of millions. Because mzotumidwa.
DPP sifika pa tali lets wait and see mudzanya mumamana the day is coming kukusiyani choncho alhomwe minority tribe mudza zolowera wait . But its so sad police has done that. MTAMBO DONT GO KUMALIRO KO CHONDE OSAPITAKO AKONZA KALE PLAN a DPP angakuphe dont go
Tizabwezera tsiku Lina A kapokola we know where you live and also kumene mu ma mwela Chibuku
Dzana laliwisi mumaseka zina,lelonso zina zoseketsa
We know police are murderers. Unfortunately there’s no one to investigate. MHSRIP.
What is suspicious here? Accident can claim anyone’s life regardless of the family he is coming from. Mtambos family members are not immune to accidents like any other family. Therefore no need to politisise this. May his soul rest in eternal peace.
Police must trade carefully – Isaack Newton said to every action there is a reaction. In some instances the reaction can be very painful!
Well reaction ya anthu akupanga ma demo sinabwere ikhonza kuzakhala yowawa. IMAGINE MTSOGOLOMU DPP KUZALUZA. Ayambitsa a Chakwera ndi a Chilima NDIZOOPSA. DPP izaotcha kuposa apa people a pakati ndi kumpoto they don’t understand that. Moto uwu. CIVIL WAR IMENE MUKUMAITCHULA NGATI MSIMA IJA MUZAIONA. Ndangodutsamo sindinatchole mkhwani
Mw Police is rotten. used like a cheap prostitute. It has lost its teath cant bite anymore. I see a police wo/man I don’t fear them anymore. with a mere 1,000 u can buy your way out
kape mtambo, well ukamaononga zinthu za za anthu uzikonzekelatu, monkey see monkey do. These guys think its cool kumapanga organise demonstrations za maiko olemera zimenezo, akamaona mayiko enawa akupanga zionesero, amvekele nafenso nzofunika kusamala nazo maiko enawa apolisi, democracy, army, politics, order sizimayenda ngati ku malawi, kulibe tribes kumene amabela zimenezi, ndiye mukakhala ndima TV anu ankhonkho kumangobela muzaphesa azibale anu osalakwa
Your such an idiot and selfish, do you want things to be the way they are in Malawi? People like you are not needed in this country what a waste of….
olo mutiphe ngolongoliwa alikuti lero??????
Jose continues to kill innocent people. Mwapindulanji by Billy Kaunda.You are simply unleashing terror which will not bear fruit. Even if it means postponing the demos on 6 August, expect them to resume before end of that week.
Am very devastated with this news.Why innocent soul going like that.RIP
POLICE LED BY JOSE DAUSI MCHACHA
BEN KUNSAILA MULLI —-WHAT ELSE DO WE EXPECT FROM THEM APART FROM KILLING PEOPLE WHOM THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO DEFEND —‘
Even if you kill all HRDC leadership but still just know that Demos on Tuesdays are on. There will be no retreat no surrender.
It’s not them (HRDC) who want things to change in Malawi but 80% of Malawians want change and not this corrupt regime.
PLEASE TIPPEX —-LEAVE THE PEOPLE OF MALAWI ALONE !!!
Ngakhale Mtambo atafa anthu sangadandaule.
Suspecous yachani. Ngozi basi.
CHITIPA POLICE B CAREFUL
