Tension high in Lilongwe, residents up against Mutharika political rally
Malawi Defence Force (MDF) soldiers were called from the barracks to bring calm after residents of Nsundwe in Lilongwe rose up against President Peter Mutharika’s political rally in the capital city.
There has been clashes between locals and the law enforcers and social media is awash with the picture of the police officer lying on the ground in full police uniform. National Police spokesperson James Kadadzera has confirmed that the officer has died.
Kadadzera however did not give identity of the deceased officer who has died in the line of duty.
The violence comes barely days after political commentators asked Mutharika to suspend the political rally in view of the political instability in the central region following the highly disputed presidential elections.
A journalist, who is currently at Nsundwe, says the irate people have blocked the road from Lilongwe to Mchinji.
“They say they have blocked the road to prevent people from travelling to the rally venue,” said the journalist.
Mutharika will hold the political rally at Kamuzu Institute for Youth in Kawale after launching the construction of US funded 250 secondary schools.
The government and the Democratic Progressive Party are going ahead with the preparations for the rally this afternoon despite the violence at Nsundwe.

Packed in unroad worthy lorries. Only in Africa. Btw, dont these people have anything good to do with their lives other than going to witness and see this useless old man?
You are happy that law enforcers are being killed like bulls because of your tippex president who is holding a rally in a different territory. This territory is not his territory that is why he enters with military tanks shame on dpp!!!!!!!!
stupid person
You are much than him.
Arrest the rioters and keep them in the cooler. Malawi is one and nobody should bar people from addressing rallies anywhere. The president as citizen number one is free to visit and address rallies anywhere. Stop this nyau nonsense chifukwa mukathera ku maula kodya kamodzi patsiku
N
Billy Mayaya was severe beaten up in Blantyre with the AID of Police Senior Cadets.HERE YOU ARE NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Partisanship bear fruits
But he said he is not Malawi
Yaa thats true arrest them starting with those who attempted murder Billy Mayaya, teargssed queens hospital where an innoncent woman and a baby was killed.
Which Malawi is one? If South means Malawi, then Malawi is indeed one! Which one Malawi do you see deserving students being denied entry into secondary and universities under the guise of quota system. APM is a SATANIST and he is happy when people die because he is BLOOD-THIRSTY SON OF PERDITION. The fire of the Holy Ghost will soon consume him
Gonakuphondo tell it all! the more blood that is shed the more powerful satanists become! By organizing this rally in Lilongwe, the kingdom of darkness was eagerly expecting to get some human blood spilt. Those who thrive upon human blood for power and wealth will organize more of similar rallies in the future, only God Almighty can deliver and heal the land of Malawi, there are too many satanists set loose in the country.
South Africans BUTCHER and KILL us, and yet we doing this to ourselves,mukaona bwinobwino population yambiri ya ku SA ndi anthu aku Mchinji nxaaaaaa……… Penapake we need to civic educate anthu akwathuwa… So may rich people in Mchinji and yet we have people burning their Police Station and Killing a police officer on duty……
Malawi malawi…..Vuto longoikana pa mpando komanso anthu kukula maiko akuulaya then mkumaitanizana kuzabela amalawi.Zoona mtsogoleri oika zofuna zake patsogolo basi not interest of citizens???
Panopa msonkhano uli mkati ku Kawale, makape adziwika, boma ndi boma basi, nyau ndi nyau basi
Yes ,they said why is he not holding rallies in Central and and Northern region?KKKK koma mkamanga,Thindwa and company ayayayaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
People being ferried from miles around
STILL THEY ARE MALAWIANS!!!
The same political analysts have been advising Muthalika to hold rallies in central and northern region. Chamba chimene amasuta ma political analysts aku malawi ndichamphamvu kwambili. lol
AAAAAA Chitsilu iwe
You have observed right, brother. They are not consistent at all. They talk just to make noise, not to make sense. And sad that some of such called analysts are political science lecturers. To hear Thindwa speaking, you clearly know that he sympathises with the opposition. He is not objective at all and they call him political analyst. What does he know about political analysis.
Usovenge
you don’t have to be objective to be a political analyst. A claim to objectivity is a fallacy.
You lie, what type of fallacy is objectivity, if you don’t know fallacies just shut up
Nthiko, you must be a DPP cadet. Obviously I doubt if you have the capacity even to understand the journalist’s analysis. Your president is not accepted in the central region, so by coming to the central region, he is provoking the people. A poor policeman died for Peter, is it worth dying for this man?
What problem is it to be a DPP supporter?? Millions in Malawi support DPP. They are Malawians too. Fact that you support MCP/UTM does not mean everyone does
THERE IS NOTHING WRONG TO BE A DPP SUPPORTER!!!
yes analysts did say that sometime back ,even advising him to make a national state address and they were on it advising him on the volatile situation,so what is wrong. these are piece of advice to his excellency.let him listen to the cry of people,osati omuzungulirawo ,akungomunamiza.
They don’t know nothing bra,these are just bunch of idiots
Political analysts were right to advise APM to hold meetings in the recent past with hope that he would champion the peace process. To the contrary, he came out with executive arrogance teasing his opponents that they lost and he won. Usatanic chani???? That’s why the analysts changed the tune to advise otherwise after reading the current situation on the ground. Osati enanu opanda sukulu koma mumadziwa kuthobwana ma button pa computer basi.
The winner becomes the President. Who won then? Isn’t it President Mutharika? Nyau people munya
By just seeing your surname MUKHITO,explains everything how stupid you are
Kkķkkkkkkkk a big musamaletu kkk
Certain comments makes one to wonder if he is in the forum of the wise or fools. This hating of mutharika has grown to the extent of calling him a fool? If he is a fool as you anticipated, then bamboo any aja mmene amapangira, kuonekera, education yao tiwatche ndani. If you are wise you will appreciate kuti your father ndionvesa chisoni kwambiri. Musamanyoze kotha muyeso ….muzapezesa soka Manolo any thus if you have one. Hate helps not.
You are absolutely right the political analysts we have are all sided I have never heard them giving a credit where it is due.Regardless of the fact that they try to be seen as analysts but in their analysis you clearly see where they belong.All along they have natural hatred for APM.It is only these Malawian analysts who have lived to only see bad sides of APM from all the wonderful things that APM has done all they see in him is bad.Outside Malawi APM is valued and has gained trust from all over the world that is why USA government is approving very important developments for Malawi example construction of 250 secondary schools,Compact 1 and Compact 2.Peaceful election applauded by international observers.IMF World Bank approves of Malawi.These messages of hate and jealous from these hypocrites are the ones that have sworn seeds of hate and jealous and have divided the country.
