The true story behind the beating is that .. the person who has been badly beaten is a person who wore a millitary uniform and then he would go into the barrack and then he would steal things from different families … Finally he was caught stealing hence he was beaten monga mmene tichitila tikagwila wakuba

Most of our soldiers have never been to war as Malawi is a peaceful nation. To make up for the scarcity of wars they resort to attacking civilians. Why kind of an army do we have. I bet most of them are not recruited fairly. They have connections within the army. Gone is the disciplined army we had under Kamuzu. These multiparty soldiers are nothing but hooligans. They care less where to show the savagery, be it at a football match, or in the streets.
Its sad to see those solders supposed to protect civilians but they’re abusing, assaulting them. They forget that that uniform is Malawians, I don’t understand why they are so untouchable, they break the law anytime it suits them.
Is it illegal to wear camouflage clothing in your country? if yes why is it then on the market? JSCE soldiers.
