UDF query Livingstonia Synod silence on on ‘vampire’ lynch mobs
United Democratic Front (UDF) youths in the north under the banner of Friends of Atupele Muluzi on Sunday attacked the Livingstonia Synod of Church of Central Africa Presbyterian (CCAP) leadership for being silent on lynch mobs who continue to attack people suspected of being bloodsuckers.
Police spokesman in the country’s Northern region, Superintendent Peter Kalaya, said over the past two weeks mobs had blocked roads, attacked strangers and vandalised the properties of business people, accusing them of either sucking others’ blood — supposedly a form of witchcraft aimed at helping one acquire wealth — or harbouring such people.
The villagers in these areas believe human blood sucking is a ritual practised by some to become rich. They also believe they are failing to catch the blood suckers because they use magical powers.
But UDF’s Steven Moyo said they were expecting synod general secretary the Reverend Levi Nyondo and moderator Rev. Douglas Chipofya to condemn the mob attacks which has affected region mostly.
The UDF youths leader said the Synod has a voice in the region because they have radio station and followers hence could help top civic educate the people about the bloodsucking myth.
“We wonder why Livingstonia Synod leadership is quite on bloodsuckers myth. We were expecting them to be on forefront in condemning it as they have been doing in politics. Through their radio and church which is around the region, we believe the messages would have reached many and by now many souls and properties would have been saved,” said Moyo.
On UDF future in the region, Moyo said that the party has the morale in the region and that they will soon hit the ground running.

A UDF khalani pasi vindevu peyapeya mwati ndinu ma youth mxiiiii
This has nothing to do with Livingstonia synod, you UDF /DPP have the role to play too if are concerned citizens by stopping these people in believing these fake rumours and taking the laws at hand. Why can’t you tell your president Peter Mutharika to address to the nation has more power to speak to the nation about this rumours of bloodsucking I remember on the other video clip I saw Peter Mutharika himself addressing to the mulanje thyolo people why not albino killing blood sucker rumours and what have you instead of making politics on the synod of Livingstonia . You too as the rulling parties can use so many ways to reach out people to educate them tell MBC zodiac even the teachers organisations individuals, not Livingstonia synod as such this is just politics.
no wonder with this so calld UDF they are the ones need deliverance. people are experiencing this everyday hence making fool of it, I mean really. government should take action on any threat that is obseve by the community to get at the bottom of it, not fool them n then tomorrow you their vote.
The Livingstonia Synod is simply an agent of devil. If you can GENUINELY and deeply reflect on the conduct of this synod, you shall agree with me that the synod needs deliverance. The synod leadership is not being led by the holy spirit at all and this makes all northerners raving and behaving like mad people. Alibe uzimu. Alibe umunthu.
Why cant they speak against the mob justice themselves, Foolish party
Is UDF still a relevant political institution? Malawians are experiencing economic, social, and political problems today because of UDF. The closure of many companies due to foolish privatization policies by Bakili Muluzi, lack of investments, and the degeneration of Malawi’s hard-fought democracy into an authoritarian rule by Pater Mutharika are all due to UDF and Muluzi in particular. Does anyone need to be reminded that DPP started because of Muluzi’s selfish ambitions? He went for an outsider to succeed him without following leadership hirachy. Today Malawi is in deep trouble. Look at Atupele, a big time opportunist who is on record saying the UDF/DPP alliance is for the unity of the country, what nonsense!
UDF sono kuzasokonekera pamenepaja. Tell President, Police to act on these ndiponso ikuyenera kukhala UDF ikupanga zimenezi tisaiwale yadulaponso azimayi ziwalo mdziko muno.
Why Livingstonia Synod and not government? When did Livingstonia Synod become government of the North? Has government surrendered the North to Livingstonia Synod? UDF please know that you are in government and you, together with your partner in evil doing,are responsible for civic educating the citizens.
What type of a youth arm of a party is that to be raising such insignificant issue in these trying times of our country. Can that party be trusted to lead the country. Signs of loss of direction like fleeing headless chickens. Repent and you shall be saved.
Thats the way to go guys..keep it up they have to there duties not only politics
I have run out of Mzuzu coffee. Can UDF north help?
UDF youth .Who are they and what is their role in Malawi?Are you democrats who caused the nation havoc during UDF régime. We don’t expect anything good from talking about why Matafare lost his precious life?
Nyondo is cursed just like Chakwela. They are no longer serving God but the devil because of love of money.
The Catholic church under bishop Mtumbuka has come out clear about it’s stance and possible solutions. Can all religious bodies in the North do the same. It’s a tragedy how people in cars are being murdered on unfounded rumours. Yinayinso ndi nsanje chabe AMalawi . God help us.
Mmmmmm mwasowa nkhani eti osawauza apitala akhwimise chitetezo bwanji a ccap ali ndi apolice
Like the albino killing, the blood-sucker rumours are being done by the opposition MCP and UTM to show that government is failing. Livingstonia synod is a supporter of MCP-UTM alliance and therefore has joined the opposition agenda. It is propagating these rumours.
Livingstonia synod is part of the people who are spreading these blood-sucker rumours to discredit the DPP government.
Bootlickers. Which party? Fotseki
There are myriads of problems in Malawi caused by UDF and DPP. Do you expect Livingstonia to comment on each of them? Just tell your bed fellow Mtaba to stop his agent from blood sucking and this will be one problem solved.
UDF we are busy fighting Coronavirus and if you have nothing to do lockdown at your homes, Who told you that the Synod is the Police Service? If the state has failed to stop these acts let it ask for help from churches / mosques / chiefs and other community leaders
The synod’ is condemning each passing day, those are not UDF but DPP boys trying to show off
