Tanzanian Immigration in a tit for tat operation with Malawians:  Over 200 detained, w omen raped and torturered

Malawians living without right of  abode in Tanzanians continue facing tough life, officials have revealed.

Songwe border post immigration spokesperson Yusuf Shaib told Nyasa Times that  the Tanzanian immigration department has arrested over two hundred Malawians over the weekend.

Shaibu said the concerned Malawians have reported to his office that they are being tortured while Malawian women are being raped.

He said one of the concerned Malawian Jonathan Nantipwiri disclosed that fake police officers have also taken an advantage of the development.

“We are tortured, our women are being rapped by these Tanzanians. We are leaving a slave life here, please our country help us,” Nantipwiri tells Malawi Immigration Office at Songwe border.

Few weeks ago, a court in Tanzania fined three hundred Malawians to pay one million Tanzanian shirings (K350, 000) each for illegally staying in their country.

According to information sourced by Nyasa Times, most of the concerned Malawians are those coming from Nkhata bay district.

Meanwhile, Tanzanians leaving in Nkhata bay are now seeking refuge at the district police office after the irate residents are breaking their business shops and chasing them away.
