the little knowledge I have about the land issue in Thyolo and Mulanje is that most people don’t understand it as it is. just for your understanding lets create a scenario in your village: muli ndi minda imene anthu ammudzi mwanu amalima nde chikhwaya china cha mmudzi uwoo chibwere nkukambirana ndi amfumu nkugula (kaya kulanda) minda yonse or atleast most of the usable land nkumakulembani inuyo anthu a mmudzimo ntchito nkumamulimira iye akakolora nkumatenga zokolora zonsezo nkumapita nazo kwao…. so thus what happened in these areas, the proceeds from these estates do not benefit the bonafide thyolo and mulanje pipo,… Read more »

Wandale is making sense. This court case is an opportunity for the court to grant justice to the people of Thyolo and Mulanje. This matter has been outstanding for a century and unsatisfactory solution made by Kamuzu and Bakili administration through the donors was the ‘Kuzigulira Malo’ project where idle farms were bought by government for relocation of people from these districts. Since the donors stopped funding this project is when we see the land ownership pressure resurfacing in this districts. Adjacent neighbouring Mozambique has vast kilo meters of fertile idle land i think its time the government consider relocating… Read more »

Mlandu uwu ofunika ampatse judge wachilungamo osati zankhanza ndi zopanda nzeru zachina Mtambo. Wandale has no case here, and he will have to be compensated.

Wandale has a point. Ife achitonga sitichedwa kumvetsetsa nkhani. Wandale is fighting for a just cause. Too much injustices in Malawi we don’t want another victimisation like in Kasambara’s case. Free Wandale right away!

Malawians will never be educated. Are we serious we can’t see sense in this man? He talks all sense and Malawians need people like him. We need to support him not jail him. So you are happy jailing own Malawians for claiming what is theirs from foreigners. Leave this innocent man. Deal with cashgate guys not him please

it might be possible that the Comforzi granted the people access to land for grave yard only because if Comforzi took away their land that originally had 4 graveyards in the 1950s you could not have traces of those graveyards today. It was just a sign of mutual existence between the estate and the people. Remember, most of these people are estate workers with their houses within the estate which makes sense to even burry their dead within the estate. Such space can always be given.

Anthu aku Mulanje and Thyolo mumangoti ndinu wochenjera apa ndiye mukutaya mwayi wotenganso malo ambuyanu. Mr Wandale here is sacrificing himself to help you get back your land and you can’t support him. Tulo basi! You do not know how to fight.

In years to come this man will be a national hero . I am ashamed of what my country did during the colonial period and grabbed all the best land . Following presidents have allowed this situation to fester into a boil . Gaoling this man is utterly wrong but no doubt he will be gaoled . The reason is big business fear that if he wins his case the flood gates will open and people will take back what was stolen. Banda took all the best land around Kasungu and gave what was left to his cronies . He… Read more »
