Returnees protest against Covid-19 test at border, 1 jump fence
Malawi Police in Mwanza are battling with citizens returning from South Africa who are refusing to be tested for coronavirus (Covid-19) at the border post.
One of the returnees managed to jump fence and was about to be whisked away on a motorcycle before he was apprehended.
He did not want the Covid-19 test.
Ministry of Health guidelines mandates health workers to test those arriving from South Africa right away at the border before entering the country.
The people who have been ferried in nine buses are opting to be taken to a quarantine centre instead of being tested at the point of entry.
However, Mwanza District Hospital spokesperson Dikilirani Chadza has said that the people have to be tested right there at the border before proceeding into the country.

Munakawasiya konko, govt used our taxes to repatriate these ungrateful individuals
Just shoot to kill. Better kill one person than letting that person spread Covid to kill thousands
So they want to infect the tax payers who have contributed for their transport, I thought we already repatrieted them during the xenophobia attaacks? Next time leave them alone to solve their own problems.
Pewani: These people were not helped by the Malawian. These people paid out of their pockets. Those who didn’t have money are still stranded here in South Africa.
If they refuse testing don’t go to pick them. Before they board the buses,they should sign a cocent form that upon arrival they will be tested. If they refuse to sign then leave them there in south Africa. Tatopa nazo zinazi. Chkwera ndi cilima atizunze,tilowera kuti
takonzani pamenepo,kuti adad atizunza tilowera kuti?
Send them back if they dont want to play ball.
Those people should go back. We did not send them to go to SA.
Corona kuchita kumuyitanitsa dala kucjoja kuti Joni
Anthu opusa kwabasi….. selfish people Basi atsalawo asabwere akhale ku south konko
Send them back. Don’t bring corvid here. You will give opportunities to looters to steal more money.
Where are soldiers to help, test all those people please and keep them at aquarantine place, don’t allow them to mix with local communities.These people can be coronavirus carriers.
Honestly speaking those guys are being selfish. Why do they want to be treated differently & who can like to go back home & infect his or her loved ones. Just because one is outside the boarders of Malawi means that they’re special. They have to adhere to the the rules & laws set to manage this virus.
Selfish indeed. South Africa is a hotspot for covid 19 why should they risk the whole county with their arrogance. Please do Justice and save Malawians
akanauzidwa ndondomeko zikanakhala bwino. mwina sakanavuta. koma zomwezi za UNDINE. So the returnees were just taken for granted. DIALOGUE . basitu.
80 plus INDIANS who came in this country a week ago though some Mw officials dint know much of their coming or they knew but have been given money to clip their mouths little they said was that these Asians are in Mw for sugarcane blah blah bla issue or too much sugarcane in India not known the connection about this in Mw. Now these was said that they will be taken ”SOMEWHERE” as that Mw officio said. ‘he knows something’ God forbid.
Now these are RETURNEES as it says are Malawians. they neede to be told excatly tje protocol.

It appears Indians are the priorities than the CITIZENS.
