Rights activist Trapence suffers suspected terror attack

September 29, 2019 Owen Khamula -Nyasa Times 20 Comments

Rights activist Gift Trapence says his residence was nearly put on electric fire when a suspected terror attacker deliberately pulled down a power pole near the house.

Trapence: Malawi police do nothing to investigate after the issues are reported to them.

Trapence, one of the fearless organisers of anti-Jane Ansah protests, said a driver pulled up at an electricity pole near his house in Lilongwe and knocked down the pole down using a tipper before he ran away.

“This was a calculated move to set my house on fire. This tipper deliberately knocked down the electricity pole. The driver raised the tipper to pull down the pole,” said Trapence.

He said his watchman was alerted by a spark and when he went outside, he saw the driver of the ripper running away.

“If this was an accident, why was the driver running away? Well, we have managed to identify the owner of the tipper and we are dealing with the issue,” said Trapence, the vice chairperson of the powerful Human Rights Defenders Coalition (HRDC).

He ruled out going to police to report the incident, saying the police are always accomplices in such attacks and they do nothing to investigate after the issues are reported to them.

  1. A trapece mwasowa chokamba ngati mumakanika kuthandiza anthu a kwanu Ku mtamba therere, nde mungamenyere ufuru wadziko LA Malawi,mungofuna ndalama basi .

  4. Same thing happened to me. Maybe it was a terror attack as well. Thing is things bad or good can happen to anyone. feeding conspiracies into incidents is being careless.

    I could make out what happened without insinuations of a terror attack. Electricity lines in lots of places in Malawi are low lying and that is a problem we should vigilantly ask the relevant institution to address

  5. Munthu wankulu ngati iwe ungakanike kuthamangitsa Tipper??? Mwasowa chonena eti? mmalawi muno galimoto yoyamba kuomba pole la magetsi ndi imeneyi ?????Umazitenga ngati ofunika pa malawi pano bwanji???

  7. Come down Mr Trapence, relax your head and see the reality. Don’t panic you will pay back what you want (prison after loosing the court case).
    Do not put yourself in the trap if the politicians
    Be wise please

  8. Trapence do not be afraid of death, you are a freedom fighter, and the price of your actions is death. Sorry if you did not know. You should expect death any time. And you have to be happy to die for what you believe for. If you fear death then you are not a freedom fighter, you are an opportunist.

  11. The fact of the matter is that Malawi is being governed by Dark Forces and the recent revelations about high ranking officials in DPP bear testimony to this. How can the DPP top brass tolerate the so-called cadets sneaking out in the night to commit heneous crimes against fellow Malawians, bordering on ending someone’s life?
    Trouble with APM is that he gets advice from selected individuals instead of making use of the party’s NEC where some level headed party gurus would advise better.
    Now, if APM says won the election fare and square, why did he tell the nation that he, too, had votes stolen from him and, if so, why not wait for the Court ruling? Has the president completely ignored the UNDP funded MEC Auditors Report?
    Chakwera and Chilima did not lose the election. Rather Malawians votes were stolen from them to prop up your rating and this is why I’ve 60% of the nation is up in arms. It’s neither MCP nor UTM.

    1. fact of the matter is the world is generally governed by what I would not necessarily call dark forces. When all is said and done money, profit, wealth has always been st the heart of every high level decision making process

  12. A trapece chilichose basi a dpp? Iyayi ili ndiye bodza tsopano. Mwina driver analedzela ndiye mukuti dpp, sober up now. Ndege kugwa dpp, vula osabwera dpp, cyclone idai dpp, thats the way you trapece want things to be happening. Zakuvutani.

  13. This bastard with a mouth like he is eating feases. we are tired of your useless demonstrations and just because you know that what you are doing is wrong that is why you are scared with anything . If indeed you are fighting for a good course, why should you be afraid.
