Pro-DPP women to hold demo against anti-Ansah marchers: Analyst says its their right

July 8, 2019 Wongani Chiuta - Nyasa Times 59 Comments

Minister of Gender, Children, Disability and Social Welfare Mary Navicha has said  some women in the country are going to march against those who want Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC)  chairperson Jane Ansah to resign.

Navicha: Women will march
Madando tears: Seodi White argue that Ansah is a victim of gender-based attacks
Some of the women at the news conferece who want to march against anti-Ansah demos

Navicha disclosed this at a news conference held at Mount Soche Hotel in Blantyre  organised by a grouping calling itself Forum for Concerned Women which have members who are connected to the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP).

“Some women feel Ansah is being targeted because she is a woman so they will hold protests against that,” Navicha said.

Activist Seodi White advanced the narrative that Ansah is being targeted because she is a woman.

And she together with others wept at the news conference in a stunt dubbed “Madando tears.”

Said White: “I can’t believe Malawi has reached this stage. I can’t believe women have suffered this much. I can’t believe Jane Ansah can suffer this kind of trauma and still stand strong. But we are all Jane Ansahs.”

Governance expert Makhumbo Munthali told Nyasa Times that the Forum for Concerned Women have the Constitutional right to exercise such a right and it’s important that the public respect their right.

“As long as they follow the right procedures to do as prescribed by the Constitution and Police Act, they have a right to do so and no one can prevent them from exercising such a right. It would be interesting to hear the substance of their petition in defense of Ansah,” Munthali said.

However, the governance expert pointed out that  the very fact that some senior DPP female officials are leading in organising the parade “it runs the risk of being dubbed as a  DPP scheme masquerading as a gender issue- where Ansah is portrayed as being a victim of gender.”

He said: “ I am of the view that the grouping voice would have been taken more seriously if it adopted a more inclusive approach where it had representation from all political parties but at same time led by someone neutral.”

The country has seen nearly two months of protests by demonstrators who dismiss the May presidential election as fraudulent and demand the resignation Ansah.

Re-elected President Peter Mutharika on Saturday condemned the protests, saying organisers  – Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) under the banner of Human Rights Defenders Coalition (HRDC) – wanted to turn the country into a “lawless society”.

Leader of the largest opposition Malawi Congress Party (MCP),  Lazarus Chakwera. who alleges he was robbed of victory, and former vice president Saulos Chilima of the UTM party — have been taking part in the protests which have mostly ended up in violent acts that include arsons of State property and looting of private shops..

The President also challenged that the opposition’s “sinister plot” could only succeed over his dead body.

HRDC vice chairman Gift Trapence said the President statement is “misplaced because these protests are not targeted to overthrow the government” but “ to force Jane Ansah to resign.”

You can’t have 3 men try and bully a woman who did everything by the book into resigning.When saulosi refused to resign while getting paid by doing nothing.Its unfair.I will match with these women.Dr Jane Ansah sc Supreme Court Judge is a woman of integrity and a minister of the Lord. Satukwana munthu and she did her job as written in the laws of the country.Kutiko komwe elections dont have irregularities??? Even in the U.S. Try Again 2024!!!

  31. Asiyeni akayende aluze weight they are too fat tadzioneni.Kupanda manyazi just shows that Ansah is indeed a Dpp sympathiser these fat slobs akhuta ndalama zokuba.Come to Lilongwe muzaone

  32. Initially it was DPP cadets staging photos with the pseudo judge, now its the dpp women league defending their own judge for a tippex election well handled…..!! What else does Malawi need as justification that the pseudo judge was hard placed to please her compatriots in dpp……! What can dpp tell Malawians to convince them this woman was a neutral referee?

If we had proper answers from the 147 madando and why tipex when she was preaching to us how we should vote and tipex was not in the agenda of how we should cast our vote then all this would not have been happening. BREACH OF TRUST!!!!! BROKEN.
    SO ABITI SEODI yanu ija eti!!!@!!

  37. Seodi White and your friends, you mean any criticism directed on women is considered as gender based violence?

  38. Before you depart your homes for the demo, please kiss your loved ones good-bye. Some of you might not come back to enjoy the monies your husbands or boyfriends stole from us, hard-working Malawians.

    1. U want to intimidate them ukunama let them demostrate its their constitutional rights to do so fuck of u cadets .u will fail with ur mission of overthrowing the gvt

  39. Mary Navicha, Trash trash trash. Only defending the people with money. Defend the women on the floors in hospitals, secretaries abused by male managers, girl child.

    Feminist when it suits you.

    We need to start leaking bank details of these women.

    1. Did mcp and utm defend pipo who are on floors in hospital no so what are u sayjng u fool headless animal oppositon cadet enough is enough

  41. ARE THESE DPP WOMEN TRYING TO PROVE THAT JANE ANSAH IS PART OF THE DPP FAMILY JUST LIKE THE CADETS HAVE DONE? IT IS NOW PROVED BEYOND REASONABLE DOUBT THAT JANE ANSAH IS DPP IN AND OUT. CAN THE DPP LEGAL TEAM ASK FOR JANE ANSAH CALL LOGS,SURELY HER CALLS BEFORE AND AFTER THE ELECTIONS MUST BE FULL OF CALLS WITH DPP FAMILY MEMBERS???????

    THE CSOs,UTM AND MCP HAVE A VERY SOLID CASE THAT SHE MUST RESIGN.

  42. U feel happy the way our country is these days and u are also on top of corruption with your dpp and think twice u womens b4 u do your nonsense with your corruption governmen while pple are suffering and dying with hunger while u are enjoying with bribed money.

  43. Zolira zopusa. She thinks she will get the sympathy from the majority of us women whose vote was stolen? We will not support a thieving woman; the woman who only is thinking about herself. Jane Ansah and any women like Seodi who are supporting evil do not have the heart for the country. This beautiful country has been divided on tribal lines because of people like Jane Ansa, Seodi, ZamPeter, Getrude, Chisale, Ben Phiri. Where is the country going? There is no future for Malawi with the current state of leadership…Poor.

    1. Zitsilu zazamayi. Who can waste their tears weeping for robbers of the people’s will? You think anthu akukusekererani. Seudi know ye this: No mercy for robbers. No mercy for Jane Ansah jane will face the wrath of malawians for stealing the election. Demonstrate and look like cartoons cry all you can but forget about sympathy from all well meaning malawians in their millions. Seudi kmow that jane ansah and what you seudi stand for, you have hurt us enough. Soon Seudi you are also falling
      # mutharika must fall
      # Jane Ansah must fall
      # Seudi white or Seudi black must fall
      # Jean Mathanga MUST fall

      1. These Dpp theives should first read and closely examine all comments from both ladies and gentlemen who have posted here. Then with sober mind they should judge themselves if they are right or not. Otherwise they are adding salt & anger kwa Amalawi. Any foolish decision will mark bad history in their whole life time and people will never trust them Ngati JANE ANSAH.

        1. I do not understand how Dr Jane Ansah mismanaged the elections.If the elections were mismanaged why did the 192 members of parliament accepted the results including MCP presisident Dr Lazarus Chakwera.The results of elections accepted by the 192 members of Parliament were also tipexed and yet accepted then what is the problem of the Presidentail results? If at all the results were mismanaged then why can we ask for nulification of all the results including for members of parliament.Part of Dr Chakwera’s presidentail results is from his constituency which enabled him to become an MP.I find it not in order for Dr Chakwera to claim that his votes were robbed.
