Woman shot by Chisale says not interested to press charges: Mutharika’s aide falls ill in cell

1. Chisale abweze zathu sanati. Munthu uyu oipa kwambiri a body guard turned Billionaire on our taxes. Muthalika name is dented on him shame

2. Akhaule Chisaleyo basi

3. Olo atapepesa amangidwe basi

4. The case was messed up when it took place. The Police should have done the procedural things though it was accidental shooting and submit to DPP to formally close the matter or take Mr Chisale to court. It may eventually end well with him but after nights in the cooler.

5. This isn’t a civil case whereby the aggrieved can just withdraw the case willy nilly. This is a criminal case in which the state advances a case for the benefit of the public i.e. in the best interest of the public and not an individual. The only way the state can discontinue the case is if they feel they don’t have enough evidence to convict the accused and not because the woman has decided to withdraw the case.

6. Sigele, you are a woman with a compassionate heart. You are not an eye for eye May God bless you. You have shown true love of a mother, even those who are against your decision, they would have loved the same if it had happened to them. You have shown that you are a woman with a difference. If three quarters of Malawians were like you, the country would have been indeed heaven on earth. God bless you.

7. AGAIN IZI AZBS SANGAFUFUZE, MANYAZI OSAMAKONDERA AYI, KOMA NDIYE WE HAVE BEEN CAPTURED BY STATE KOMA NDIYE TIMES, MBC, ZODIAK,RAINBOW, ONSE PRO GOVERNEMENT AYI IFE TIZDIMVERA ANGARIBA, KODA IZI BWANJI, FERTILIZER FOR ALL, 100,000 TAX FREE ON SALARIEA ETC KOMA ABALE KULI ZIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII KOMA INAKHALA NTHAWI YA DPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP

8. In this case complainant is the state and the woman is just witness. Thanks that she has testified that the matter is true.

9. Mr Mbonga Matoga,
   People buy guns and keep them in their houses for security purposes. In the event that one is attacked, that’s the best time to use the gun. The people like Chisale were public figures by then, they were protecting the head of state and therefore need to protect their lives and properties as well. The aim of shooting in the air was to scare the thieves, only that the bullet landed on this innocent woman. Do you seek permission to shoot when already attacked, and the attackers will be waiting?
   I don’t agree with you. The whole issue here is politics. Chisale may have cases to answer but this should be done in a manner that is fair. Even the Chunara too must be detained, otherwise this will be another reminder of what MCP used to do the past 26 years.

   1. If Chisale was shooting in the air how on earth did the bullet hit the woman’s leg, how tall is the woman so that Chisale could have missed the whole wide open sky and shot the woman’s leg?

      Chisale was aiming at an individual with his gun despite the fact that there were many people around…..that is acting with impunity, in fact that is not only being unprofessional but also being stupid for a person of his calibre …..and for that reason, he should be prosecuted.

10. This shows that she has the spirit of humanity – God lives in her she doesn’t want to be part and percel of doing evil this means she knows that her injury was not intentional but accidental. Yes he Chisale might have done other things wrong but this is not the way of justice, treating him in this way is almost a brutality way of punishing. What we should know is that we are all sinners and most of us ndife okuba koma chifukwa choti sitinagwidwepo. But the fact is God sees us on his spiritual HD camera. The more we judge others the more God will judge us = the more we forgive others the more God will forgive us. Am not saying if the courts finds him guilty of the charges he should be forgiven but in every case done by anyone there are procedures that must be followed and they should be followed with trueth and just, not punishing somebody when he/she has not been found guilty.

11. This guy shot with the intention to kill. If it was about scaring away robbers, he could shot in the air. The fact that the bullet landed on someone’s leg was premidated.

    1. Dunderhead

12. What it shows is that Chisale did not have any regard for the law and was a gun-toting villain in the neighbourhood. It would be interesting to find out where else that gun was discharged. Malawi has laws and those have to be respected otherwise a lot of people would be injured or killed. It was just luck that this woman was hit on the leg. Those who say this is political witch hunt are either ignorant or have their own selfish reasons why they are saying that. Obey the law and no one will come knocking on your door to arrest you.

13. Umbuli amalawi. There are laws governing firearms in the country. This matter is not up to the woman to decide. Zawadi Chilunga should also have done a bit of research so he could have included what the law says in this piece of writing. But as usual, the journalists in Malawi are so lazy and they mislead readers. There is a reason why we all do not have guns and there is also a reason why those that have them have to use them in specific ways and occasions. If we all had guns and used them the way Chisale used it, a lot of people would be shot and many people would die. Chisale did not use the gun in the way he should have. There lies the problem.

14. The case is against the state no an individual. Anaphwanya malamulo a boma osati a woman

    1. Manyazi bwa? There are so many cases settled out of court – that is a democratic right of an individual. MCP has seen that the FAKE fraud trial does not have evidence that is why they have jumped on this to continue the political persecution.

       1. Go back to school and learn to read !! Attempted murder is a criminal case and it is with the state … Malawi government vs Chisale. Kukhuluka ?this is not mlandu woba nkhukutu .

15. Attempted murder……..yet the crime was committed accidentally and not intentionally. The guy was trying to scare away thieves and unfortunately the bullets hit a wrong person. MCP is indeed in govt and it will make sure that it will kill all its opponents. History is repeating itself. Waisting tax payers money for nothing .

16. This is total politics persecution. God is watching and I pray that it shall never be well with you Chakwera. God put you on that position to serve malawi and not to inflict pain on innocent people. Mark my word, your end is coming shortly. You shall never have peace in your life and shall cry all the days of life. All the people shall gang against you and your cronies. Turn to God before it is too late. Vengeance is for God

17. Let him fall ill or be unwell.

    Ndi a Malawi angati omwe anafa m’dzipatala dzathudzi chifukwa chosowa mankhwala, kaamba kakuti anthu ngati achina Chisaleyo amaba ndalama za Boma za nkhaninkhani, nkumamangira ma lodge, ma nyumba, ma church ndi zina, at the cost of poor Malawians’ lives?

    Akafuna kuti adzimangilire, mumugulire chingwe, nkupatsa.

    Forsake !

    1. Pano mankhwalawo ayamba kupezeka

18. If the lady withdraws the case who are u and i to persuade her? A stray bullet is not intentional. And for a fair game let those bodyguards who shot a boy and woman in mangochi be persecuted because that was intentional! Paja inutu a chakwera mwatero that ur govt will respect the law so let these bodyguards face the law komanso anthu a kwa msundwe amene anapha wa police wile executing his duties they too should face the law. Zisamakomere mbuzi kugunda galu yayi koma galu kugunda meeee meeee ndiye yalaula NO!

19. The issue here is not whether the woman has withdrawn the case or not, the first question we have to ask is whether Chisale had the mandate to discharge a lethal weapon in public disregarding public safety to save his questionable interests.

    Fellow Malawians, you have to remember that Chisales job was to protect a siting president, thus if the president’s life is in danger or threatened that is when he had the mandate to use his lethal weapon legally.

    Even soldiers serving in MDF are not allowed to take their guns at home and certainly can not fire their weapon without being commanded to do so.

    Chisale overstepped his mark, first he was not supposed to take matters in his own hands, he was supposed to report the issue to the police and let them do their job professionally.

    The police should investigate why the woman has decided to withdraw the case against Chisale now, has she been threatened to do so?

    The gun that Chisale used was not for his personal use or for protecting his businesses, it was given to him to protect the president.

    Those rounds he used to hit that woman with we’re payed for by the tax payers to protect his excellence the president and not Chisales chimwankhunda houses. Houses that he was building with corrupt money stolen from the same poor Malawians that he was shooting at during that night.

    This case is between Chisale and the state and not just between Chisale and the compromised woman….period.

    1. Well put!

20. I suggest that the natural justice should flow like a river Nile.
    It was not the intention of Chisale to shoot the lady.
    Zinazi osamangopangila ndale.
    This can happen to anyone.

21. Chance Gondwe angomunamiza chisale ndipase K2 million ndikampase mzimai uja apange withdraw. In desperation ndalama zakuba chisale wapereka..mzimai walandira K200,000 yokha. Koma Gondwe akudziwa kuti criminal case mzimai sangapange withdraw. Umboni olumbirawo ukangothandiza kuvomereza kuti chisale ndi amene anamumbera mzimai uyu basi..lawyer angokidyerani money

22. This is the nonsense we voted against. This was clearly accidental and you can’t charge Chisale with attempted murder or assault. No wonder the lady has come out to defend Chisale and fair to Mr Chisale he supported/compensated her.

    Why not concentrate on the fraud case that will benefit Malawians. We are interested in having Chisale successful prosecuted not persecuted.

    1. There is no evidence for the fraud case. That’s why MCP is rushing onto this case

       1. It’s because you don’t know what Chunara told police, there are overwhelming evidence against chisale, and mind you he will be pinned down. He is fighting the state… M’mene amatuma anthu kuti azigenda Chilima and kumafuna kupha a Chakwera didn’t he know they will fight back? If he had killed our president pano mukunena kuti persecution? He failed, so anzake have just unreached the full force of the law… Remember Chakwera controls the law of Malawi now. The most unfortunate part is that you dpp you are still trying to eliminate our leaders… Why should you go free?

23. Chisale is being victimised. Period. It is laughable to see the police dancing to the tune of politicians once again. Shame. Someone in Government is desperate to see Chisale in prison. Malawi sadzatheka. Political vendetta.

24. noone ever used to hold bibles ever in the DPP. tsiku lombila l9kha basi the rest was kuima pa nsanji kumadziguguda pa zifuwa kuti ndi ma
    witch
    wizards
    kulalata
    otukwana
    ndipo amazidalila kiti tiwasiile poti amadziwa kutukana ndiookha.
    AINT YOU ALL ASHAMED??????????
    WHAT A WASTE OF SPACE

25. From the story akuti a stray bullet when chasing robbers nde wins akuti wanton shooting, really????? A presidential guard has the right to carry a gun every where

26. Money talks. Poverty is a crime on its own.

27. Nanga body guard wa saulos uja anaombera anthu ku ntaja uja

28. When money has exchanged hands

29. Nkuthekaso kuti amaiwa akuopa kupangidwa za A Njaunju, mwina aopsezedwa

    1. But really wondering how a criminal case can be withdrawn

30. Misuse of a gun, I well trained Officer can’t do what Chisale did, you don’t shoot in an built up area when your target is at an obsecured place, you don’t shoot as Chisale did to warn him to as Chisale did he would have shot in the air for that person to stop. Chisale is a criminal, dziko la Yehova Malawi analitenga ngati lawolawo . He must be prosecuted he was not on duty why moving with a gun ? Are we in a warton country?

31. Wawopyezedwa mayiyu, malingana ndi uchifwamba wa DPP.When your party is ruling the country do not abuse your power, this is what DPP was doing.Now they are paying for that.There is alot of bad things DPP thugs has done to Malawians.They have been abusing the government resources thinking they will rule Malawi until 2088 instead they have just ruled less than 6yrs.That was bad leadership.

32. The woman is living dangerously as her life can just go whoooosh and that’s why she’s blackmailing herself.

    Akuopa kuphewa ndi Mafia 😭🇲🇼

33. If all the rich people were allowed to pay their poor victims to withdraw cases, the world would have been unsafe place. Thank God criminal cases are between the accused and the state.

34. A thief that has looted government money seem to be facing the music. Discharging a firearm recklessly in the public is crime by itself. This is a crime even if he had not hit anyone with bullets.

35. The state doesnt need the victims permission to prosecute the case, she is just a witness.

36. Shame on MCP for bringing back one-party dictatorship arrests. Chakwera is sleeping on the job as COVID deaths and cases are rising. He is using the arrests and political persecution to divert peoples attention from his failures. He has broken all his major promises. Chisale’s case has shown how desperate MCP is. He was given bail and then arrested on flimsy charges even when the police knew the woman had withdrawn the case. The issue of MRA stolen vehicles was fake. Rosa Mbilizi was released. TONSE alliance iyaluka as people discover the Malawi Crocodiles Party is back.

37. Attempted murder maybe the wrong charge but discharging a weapon and wounding another when not threatened by an equal threat is wrong. Police will have to do a greater review of the criminal code to ensure the proper successful conviction.

38. Is Chisale a politician or a Civil Servant? Why is it political persecution & yet Chisale is not a Politician. I don’t understand. And why the the lady is withdrawing now? What has happened?

39. MCP yakale ndi yatsopano palibe kutsiyana nkhanza kupha nde kudya kwao. Nde akamwalira munthu ameneyo chisale aboma mzanena kutu ndi CORONA?

40. This lady is full of shit.if she was not interested in continuing with matter she could have withdrawn it immediately after her hospitalisation.the charge was still outstanding and now because she has been given few pennies she wants to withdraw. Again chisale’s lawyer is showing great signs of being clueless.the state has the final say whether to proceed or not,even if the complaint is withdrawn.we are talking of a crime which a wrong against the state not the victim.the state can proceed . On this one its clear that there is attempt to interfere with witness and chisale may not get bail if state proceed with matter.

    1. when UNAIDS said the case that the State brought against Gift Trapence and McDonald Sembereka was one that they did not want to continue it was OK. when this woman says she doesn’t want to continue with the case it NOT OK.!!!!????

       1. Little jojo, wash your face, this clearly shows kuti anthu anatopa nacho chipani chathu cha DPP basi.

    2. palm oiled and brain washed.
       tive kaye mathelo ake a cisaleyu.
       adwale lelo????
       timachatu akamapanga za ndowe.
       now he is touchable amaona ngati kul8be mawa cisale

    3. Zomba you are too partisan. The police don’t need to place charges on this. Unless the fire arm possession was illegal.

41. Gondwe pathako. Pako

    The charge of attempted murder
    The complainant are the people of malawi not that. Useless woman
    Gondwe u should know this

    1. Correct that the case is ‘ the republic vs chisale’ but this woman is a witness. How doe the govt prosecute without a witnes?

42. Funso ndi loti chimfitichi chinali ndi chilolezo choyenda ndi mfuti akamayendera za personal

43. I don’t know if its the woman’s call, a crime was committed against govt….you can’t just be shooting wantonly!!

44. It is not up to her to lay charges. It is against the law to discharge a firearm in public let alone shooting a bystander. Even if Chisale was being robed he can not lender justice himself simply because he had a gun. He is supposed to call the police. We are not in USDA where stand your ground law is in place.

    1. Tell them!!

45. Am not a fan of Chisale but this is pure nonsense.someone wants to appear to be working, boot licking the new administration. The police needs to be serious in the way they conduct business. This can happen to anyone and there is no need to victimize Mr Chisale.

    1. By just pulling the triger of his gun, automatically his intention was to shoot and kill that object standing infront of his eyes, in which case it was that unarmed poor woman. Is Chissle allowed by law of the republic of Malawi to shoot at anybody even though they were not shooting at him? What if that lady was shot in the head ?

    2. Discharging a firearm recklessly in public is a crime! THIs fool committed a crime. Had he not shot anyone would have still been a crime. Thinking that he was above the law is what is backfiring on his ass right now.

    3. many and thousands innocent people have been victimised. who is chisale not be treated like an egg.? he got to face the Law. simple.
       no arse l8ck8ng here

    4. These are the things we voted against. Clearly Chisale did not intend to kill the lady. It was purely an accident. Why not concentrate on the case that will benefit Malwians?

       1. You voted DPP to continue…dont lie….

    5. MCP is known of arrest and kill,luck atleast now we’re in democracy, they now wish if the law was not changed, arrest without trial, thats dictatorship,how can u arrest without recording statement from the witness? why not arrest the owner of the hardware as well?I don’t support any arbitrary arrest,

       1. Chomwe mungadziwe ndichakuti DPP siidzaonekaso palipose. Yatha imeneyo.

46. He is God of wonders and Bible munanyaluka lija muli mayankho onse. And God will see you through

    1. Whatever you do, please don’t play with The Bible. That may turn out to be more dangerous that anything you have faced so far. I say again, don’t play your politics on holy ground.

47. Ukasibwa Chisale iwe, lero ulidziwa boma

    1. Don’t clap hands for political persecution. Malawi moved away from this MCP style of governance of arresting people arbitrarily. It is WRONG.

48. Shame to Chakwela and team. It is understood madam. Any normal person can understand what you are saying, may be only Chakwela and Chilima can be deaf because of their political motive.

    1. Akuzitengesa mbava izi. Onse amangidwa.

    2. Chisale is not a politician, he was employed as a civil servant to provide security for the man who impersonated a president for 6 years

    3. You are an idiot. Criminal case means she is not the complainant but state. She cant qithdraw the case

49. Please go for cases where stray money can not work. This one the woman has been hit by stray money in addition to the bullet.

    1. Stray money works wonders kkkkkkkk this lady will not mind another stray bullet hitting her her on the other leg as long as strary finances also keep on hitting her otherwise miserable life!

50. Chimwendo Banda and Nkaka were discussing at Lilongwe hotel that they want to pin down all DPP. Next is Dausi, nchacha Ben Phiri

51. Very legal out of court settlement, now a polisi muwauze ma bwana anu kuti apa arrest sitheka

52. The case is still there- Chisale vs State (he shot munthu wa boma)………………..uziona sunati m’bale

53. The woman looks confused. Deliberately.

54. Political vendetta kuti nawe mbuzi.

    1. Anakutseka pakamwa ndi ndalama zakubazo
