Sheik campaigning for MCP in Lhomwe belt arrested: ‘Politically motivated’

Malawi Police in Mulanje has arrested a Sheik Daniel Mkwamba a regional secretary for Muslim Association of Malawi (MAM) for drumming up support for the opposition, the Malawi Congress Party (MCP) has said.

Another MCP member Abdul Karim arrested

“Sheik Daniel Mkwamba was arrested last evening in Mulanje. He is currently being held at a police station in Mulanje,” the MCP regional chairman for south Peter Simbi told Nyasa Times.

MCP says the arrest is politically motivated.

Apparently, the opposition is accusing veteran politician Brown Mpinganjira of the governing Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) for orchestrating the arrest.

The sheik is being accused of making MCP gain ground in the Lhomwe belt.

But Police refused to immediately comment, saying the matter is under investigations.

@Vison, for the fact that MCP does not know why it has been losing elections five times it means it cannot correct its mistakes. Failing to correct those mistakes it means the mistakes will be repeated in 2019 therefore the party will fail again. The issue here is not about how many times I have asked why MCP have been failing in elections. The issue now should be why are you failing to answer my question if you have the answer. I am asking now and again because you are not giving the reason why people have been denying MCP… Read more »

This is a sign of desperation, the old man mpinganjira should have been on the front to defend democratic constitution. This is why he has failed in everything. If God has chosen someone, nobody can stop it, enough is enough. Think of Mugabe’s fate. One day this muthalika regime will end!

I have commented several times on this evil Islam thing that Malawians must not cajoled into accepting following this barbaric and murderous so-called religion.Malawians,Iam sure you have seen the most recent turmoil In the European nations.Germany,England and France to name a few,have become Islamic States when they hopelessly opened the gates for these barbarians.Their motive is to dominate the whole world with their uncivilised and rogue religion.Look in Malawi,they are carrying the campaign of building misikiti where-ever they want.In Southern Africa,Malawi is their apparent target to create a launching pad in order to invade the whole of Southern Africa turning… Read more »

Ndimwe wa Msowoya wa kochi Imwe.. Pple like you are the one who would bring confusion.. Currently I am peacefully studying in an Islamic country and no one has said hate/ discriminatory words like the one you have said.

My fellow malawians, I am requesting that when we are debating let’s not point to our ethnic identities. Kumati alomwe inu or achewa inu …i feel it’s out of order. There are lomwes that are MCp and chewa people that are dpp. Let’s point to parties and our ethinicities. Let’s build Malawi. We are one nation despite party differences.

There is more to it than meets the eye. Do not be cheated that you have arrested the underground campaign, you have just arrested a drop in the ocean. You will arrested everyone in Mulanje in 2019 just wait.

From the look of his face this guy is a coloured. He wants to woo muslims to join MCP through Sidik Mia How can the party cheat itself that it can penetrate the Lhomwe land just because of one muslim who is a relative to Mia? Even if there are some who can follow Mia to MCP because of the incentives from him does the party think it can get a good number up to having an MP there? Mukudzipusitsa bwanji abale? MCP should ask itself why it failed to win the 2014 elections when the south shared votes among… Read more »

Amwine za 2014 mwakamba kwa nthawi yayitali, the way things are now is quite different from 2014 senario, Now people are disappointed with your DPP take it or leave it. People need change. You will be disappointed come 2019. It seems you are staginant with 2014, thats history now. wake up my brother. even a 14 year old boy will tell you that Lomwe’s have failed.
