Regime thugs beat MCP’s Govati: PP condemns ‘reign of terror’ ahead of Malawi watershed polls
Suspected governing Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) youth cadets severely beat up a Malawi Congress Party (MCP) member Edward Govati in Blantyre, the matter was reported to Police before taking him to the hospital.
MCP spokesman Reverend Maurice Munthali confirmed that regime thugs flogged Govati to within an inch of his life for the mere reason that he supports an opposition party and for allegedly branding the party a group of thieves..
“Violence will not win them an election. They cannot rule through terror,” said Munthali.
The development comes amid growing tension ahead of May 21 elections.
But DPP spokesperson Nicholas Dausi has dismissed any possibility that the party was responsible for the attacks, saying the allegations were baseless.
Meanwhile, former ruling People’s Party (PP) has strongly condemned the escalating political violence happening across the country allegedly orchestrated and masterminded by DPP militia against opposition political leaders and its members.
A number of people from opposition parties with UTM party being the main culprit have brutally been assaulted luckily no death has been registered.
A statement released on Monday January 21 2019 states that: “Peoples Party is deeply concerned with spates of escalating political violence being perpetrated by the alleged ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) on opposition parties in the country.”
The party says it has noted with shock that over the past week members of UTM have been on the receiving end of this malaise.
The first incident involved Mulanje South legislator and UTM Director of Youth, Bon Kalindo, who was assaulted in Mulanje by a group of people he identified as DPP followers.
And just om Sunday January 20 2019 in Mangochi, again UTM officials were harassed and stopped from proceeding with their laid-out program on their calendar, and MCP supporter Edward Govati was also assaulted by the same DPP operatives in Blantyre.
“People’s Party strongly believes that this kind of behaviour is undemocratic, barbaric and savage from any angle one looks at it. First and foremost, every citizen of Malawi is endowed with rights which must be fully exercised if one so wishes. Freedoms of association and assembly should not be tampered with by anyone in any way if they are exercised within the confines of the law of the land,” reads the statement.
The statement further noted that it is a shame for DPP to become a bearer of violence against other political players, dragging the country back to one-party tendencies where alternative voices were labeled as sinful 25 years after attaining democracy.
“As one of opposition parties in the country we will together with our colleagues continue holding those in power accountable for their actions and policies. This we will do through Parliament and rallies across the country as such we expect the DPP to accept this reality” reads the statement.
According to the statement, a better Malawi can only be achieved when all political players are given space to propagate their respective policies without intimidation and physical harassment from those in executive power.
Livingstonia CCAP Synod Church and Society Programme director Moses Mkandawire said the DPP members were not politicians, but thugs. He said any person who indulges in violence or believes in violence is a thug.
another idiot
kkkkkkkk koma guys mbalame ndiye zibandulidwa chaka chake ndi chino. Ati ate arafat Hamdan kumawauza kuti osachita mantha, lero ndiye akuwapweteketsa onse ndi a MCP omwe kkkkkkkkk makape.
If police will continue to watch and do nothing about these CADETS, we will start retaliating/ fighting back and don’t blame anybody when real war starts. Small issue overlooked results into big wars you cannot stops. People will reach a point where they will get feed up will fight back.
arhg stop moaning you crying baby, do something about it olo mubwezere tikuphulitseni ndi mabomba muone.
MCP,TIT FOR TAT!!!!!!!! That goes around,comes around.In fact the MCP dogs were more brutal and vicious against the innocent people of Malawi and Banda did not even once reprimand his killing machines.People could not enter the markets to buy food without carrying Party card,pregnant women were coerced to buy party cards for the unborn babies and if they did not,they could not be allowed to board public transport,Banda imposed the satanic QUOTA SYSTEM on Norther
a Govati musanamizire ma cadet mwathawa kumenyedwa kangati kumowa inu, anzathu a muchitawira inu ndi Chepetsani mumamenywdwa kumowa daily mungofuna attention ku mcp komanso kumuchotsa Mia. Anzathu inu tikudziwana.
Typical heartlessness of DPP THUGS aka CADETS. They make jokes or are in denial even when a fellow human being is in pain or horrific situation that they have caused. No wonder DPP thugs had to write and plant a fake suicide note after killing Chasowa. Normal people are afraid of touching a dead person. But CADETS will not only touch it but even make fun of it or at least deny.
Looks like the police is toothless. I would prefer we start retaliating big time . Just like SKC says this country is for all of us not only for a few individuals or tribe who are benefiting from this corrupt regime. Be careful we will fuck you up togather with whoever is behind you.We will not wait for UTM to take over government and then fuck you up later. No! we will fuck you up now now, before the elections. Try us! No one is afraid of civil war here mesa mwayambitsa ndinu ma cadet. Fuck you! Anthu alakwa chiyani?
Can someone please beat up Mchacha and Dausi so that we see the reaction of Police and DPP.
Mukamenyedwa konyenga muziti dpp? Zampwisi basi

You must be a very serious idiot

Zoziyamba dala: you can’t call them a group of thieves.
kkkkkkkk ndipo ada
Where was PP when its party zealot, Chapitapansi, was terrorizing Malawians during PP rule?
kkkkkkkkkk uyo ndiye wabandulidwadi uyo, sizija za a winiko za drama, magazi malaya onse koma pomwe pakutuluka magazipo posaoneka kkkkkk. Koma uyu amubandula kuzibwezi olo kumowa, musationongere chipani, ndiife anthu a mtendere. Atolankhani ndi amene amaononga dziko lapansi kumangolemba zautsiru. Chifukwa chooti winiko wazimenya yekha wiki yatha nkumanamizila DPP ati baasi nkhani ili yonse yamunthu omenyedwa kaya kokuba aziti ndi wachipani china chake chotsutsa ndipo ndi a DPP amumenya.
Let’s not be sensetional. Nowadays anyone who is beaten up even by mere enemies or husbands to wives they flirt around with, the blame will be going to DPP. We are seeing more drama on social media for the sole reason that the opposition is seeking sympathy knowing that they can\t dislodge DPP and APM. Of coz this Govat seems to have been given some beating unlike the Winiko Drama group and his fellow UTM zombies who are staging scenes of harassment to gain sympathy.
This is what we we hear when it happens to someone but when it happens to you all what you seek is sympathy from spectators! Take two or three minutes before you write something. Did you have time to find out the story of the whole incident if at all this guy has ben beaten by neither his wife nor creditors? A day is coming when every DPP member who has got a hand in these on-going stampades will pay back rightfully & rightly. We are tired of Alomwe and 21st May is our final answer.
You must be one of the thugs!!!! we see the pictures on social media. Nobody is seeking sympathy.
BWANA CHILIMA TIOMBOLENI MUNKHANZA KUCHOKERA KU ZINKHANIRAZI.PLS
Easy Man, ife kwathu nkulira koma soon tiyimba nyimbo-UTM motoooooo koma akatiwonjeza tiyamba kuwakuntha matownmu chifukwa nafenso ndewi timatha yeni-yeni ija osatinso yobera iyayi koma ya miyendo yokha yokha-atikwana
Kodi anthu atagwirizana kuti DPP thugs abwenzeredwe zingathe bwanji? APM must be beware of blind loyalty from these poor young people. Empower them thru small-scale businesses not kuwapatsa mowa ndi chamba kuti akaledzera azimenya anthu. Andale ambiriwa ana awo ali kunja kwa dziko lino now they are using other people’s youths to terrorize people in town. Poor men in the DPP, take care and beware, Govt can change anytime, mudzasakidwa ngati mbewa, chifukwatu anthu akukuonani nonse. Adad anu ali mbuuu kutuwa ndi khasu kumudzi kwanu, now you are calling somebody’s dad “you dad”. Umpahwi kuzunza ndithu. That’s ridiculous.
i think its better to fight back now. its too much that DPP is doing. We are sick of this behaviour!!!!!
Bring it on, tikuthotholeni muone.
Muziti bwana Arafat Hamdan. Kodi simukumva kuti man yi ndi ya Boko Haram? Munthu osafana ndi azibale ake onse?
