Trapence named new HRDC leader: Mtambo ‘sought counsel from God’ to form political movement

Human Rights Defenders Coalition (HRDC) has appointed Gift Trapence as acting national chairperson after the organisation accepted the resignation of ‘comrade’ Timothy Mtambo as its founding leader on Wednesday.

Trapence:  Now HRDC interim chairperson

The human rights organisation said  it has accepted Mtambo’s resignation as he has formed a political movement to give him a better platform to fight for a better Malawi and people’s human rights.

“We believe he is just exercising his rights and freedom of association and conscious,” said Luke Tembo, the national coordinator of HRDC.

“We wish him well in his next endeavours of life,” HRDC said.

HRDC said Trapence will be leading the human rights activists and that they will forge ahead in demanding  justice and uprightness.

Commentators say while the church in Malawi has slumbered in its responsibility of standing for the truth, HRDC actions are  being within the biblical theology of justice.

Newspaper columnist Moses Micheal Phiri argues that the gospel of Jesus Christ has great significance for social and cultural values.

“Therefore, the actions of HRDC are not political, but a replication of God’s Kingdom here on earth. Importantly, one key component of justice is self-sacrificing. HRDC has so far laid themselves at the altar of sacrifice.Actually, Christianity is about self-sacrificing,” Phiri stated in his published column.

Government has been branding the rights coalition as terrosist  group but Phiri in his column argues that” HRDC actions are neither terrorist attacks nor acts of a criminal society as they have been labelled.”

Meanwhile,  Mtrambo said he  was grateful for all the years of support and encouragement he got from HRDC and Centre for Human Rights and Rehabilitation (CHRR).

He said he has reflected on what is happening in the country and has consulted and sought counsel from God and Malawians on his next move.

  1. Bad timing. You have lost most of those who followed you during HRDC. You are bound to get frustrated, depressed, dejected and eventually rejected. Loneliness will be your company. Mark these words.

  3. Good Move bwana Timothy Pagonachi Simbega Mtambo.

    Its time to fight the toothless leaders, we will always support you.

  5. Seek Gods counsel? And God told you to form a political party? Hhmmm…God does not need mans help to do his will. If you want to fight Gods battles, then you are finished..please malemba a chauta tisamawerenge mosankha, tiziawerenga onse mwandondomeko…

  6. Now i realy Salute APM ‘s inteligence they told in 2018 that Mtambo is hidding behind HRDC with an aim to over through DPP Boma .He used unreasoning masses to his advantage
    shame MCP-UTM have been schooled by Timothy after failing to find his way to State house illegaly he has now come out from his carcoon .Thanks to APM for being petiance with him for us Malawians to get to know who and why is Timoty terrorising us .

  7. We are already in a crisis. Let Corona not be an excuse. Mtambo you are welcome in inner politics. You have opened our eyes.

  8. Thank you to both Trapence and Mtambo for your dedication to holding the government accountable.
    May you continue the good work!

  9. A party for Northerners. I believe Livingstonia will now smile and. Mtambo appoint Levi Nyondo as your Vice. A Trapence mumangolondola ngati mchira!

  10. kkkkkk Mtambo you want to be the president of which country – the same country which you have destroyed with your demos. kkkk don’t make me laugh Mr. Mtambo ask your self who will vote for you????? maybe the Nsundwe guys!!!!!!!!! Just know that this is the beggining of your end.

    2. Chicken thinking by cadet. Can’t you know that Mtambo was holding the DPP and MEC stubborn leaders account? Your blinf following will not help Malawi. Anyway poti ndiwe ukuyenera kutero..

  11. All the best fighter, you have fone your part to liberate Malawi through HRDC let others do their part too. It is within your tight as a son of the soil to either form your own party or join the existing groupings. So all the best.

  12. zakhala bwino mtambo kenako chikhale chipani chenicheni uli ndi ma supporters ambiri iwe u can even become our next presdent achina SKC asamakugwiritse ntchito..we are goping to larrry behinh you Timothy…our machine gun our very own Julius Malema go go go Timo ochita manthawo asiye achina trapence ndi achina Sembereka amngodyera masuku pamutu game unali iweyo

  14. God or ‘god’ The 40th day has come. Chakwera and Chilima finished. He will reveal your secrets. You trusted a wrong person. We told you chakwera

  16. You shall know them by their fruit. Violence is not from God. I don’t wish to take sides on political parties but when we read our scripture. Leaders that steal are not Godly. Leaders that condone violence are not Godly. Scripture says how can two walk together lest they be in agreement. We are seeing parties join with the violent and crooks
    None of the leaders we are seeing in Malawi have Godly characters. Let us accept that whichever way we are working with devils in our midst. God help our country.

    3. A Trapence kukamwa nga chona. HRDC has finished for good. No one can follow trapence never. Nkhope ngati chikulira yooo my rubbish

    4. Mzeed, ukuoneka kuti ndiwe munthu opepera kwambiri. Nanga munthu wakulakwira chiyani? Bwanji osamangodya ndalama za u cadet mwanzeru?
