Indian calls Malawi rights activist ‘a dog’ arrested
Malawi Police in Mzuzu on Tuesday arrested a 32-year-old Indian national, Anand Mandivar for allegedly calling another person, a Malawian citizen, a ‘dog’ in public.
The incident happened at Kentam Mall in Mzuzu where the two were seeking services from a mobile phone operator.
According to Mzuzu police spokesperson, Paul Tembo, the suspect did not want to join the queue but rather to bypass everyone.
The development angered those who were on the queue and one of the renowned human rights activist Happy Mhango who was among the group of people on the queue told the Indian national to respect the people who had queued.
“Don’t bypass the queue please. We are all the same. Everyone is in hurry. If you want, you then need to ask for our permission. Not just going straight as if you have not found anyone here,” said Mhango.
While refusing to be on a queue, the Indian national called Mhango “a dog”.
After being tipped about the development, police rushed to the scene and arrested the suspect.
Police told Nyasa Times that the suspect has been charged with a case of using insulting language.
Mhango is chairperson for Human Rights Defenders Coalition (HRDC) in the North.
HOW DID HE MANAGE TO ENTER THE COUNTRY? HE’S IMMIGRATION STATUS MUST BE INVESTIGATED ASAP.

Racist bastard deport this idiot asap need to teach him a lesson and make an example out of this moron who the fuck does he think he is should have punched his lights out right there and then
Malawians in Mzuzu Boycott his business
THAT DOESN’T FALL IN THE CATEGORY OF RACISM. HE USED INSULTING WORDS AGAINST ANOTHER PERSON. BEING ABUSIVE AGAINST ANOTHER PERSON IS AGAINST THE LAW period.
You mean if I call a fellow Malawian ‘galu iwe’, the police will come for me? Someone called the president a joker and it was OK for the Activists. People have been calling each other mbuzi iwe, galu iwe for years. Why not just say to the Indian guy naweso galu.
Are you that shallow
If he had called him monkey, that’s racist but a dog. The problem is you respect these indians too much and you are afraid to speak to them. Tell them FO instead of getting offended for being called a dog. Stand up and tell them to shut the f..k up.
Not a matter calling him galu ,mbuzi, chidebe etc problem with these kind of people is they think malawians or africans in general are below them can treat them however they want in our own motherland Not acceptable by any means
