Land wrangles turns ugly in Lilongwe as irate villagers torches part of Kumbali Lodge
Irate villagers in the early hours of Sunday have torched part of Kumbali Lodge in Area 44, Lilongwe.
The villagers are said to have been angered by the arrest of fellow villagers who were apprehended for encroaching into the lodge.
Chaos started at around 3 am when the villagers went into the premises of the lodge and torched seven vehicles and other buildings at the lodge.
Heavily affected has been the Kumbali Lodge Kindergarten which has been completely damaged, as well as some other rooms which were being used by guests.
As of Sunday morning, there was heavy police presence at the lodge and calm has returned.
These are typical artifacts of Mtambo Timothy as the Trainer of the Central Chewas on how to destroy.Its the Genesis of MCP/UTM Tonse Alliance artifacts.So no worry .MCP at its Best
Nsundwe generation. The wisdom of chewa elders. Violence. Suicide. Killing of innocent women suspected of witchcraft. Zamanyazi kaganizidwe ka achewa. Even Lazaro Chakwera, mkwiyo is written all over his face. Shame.
Khalidwe lomwe a Malawi anauzidwa kuphunzitsidwa lero zimenezi zangoyamba
This is the problem of not having a proper Land policy, proper Land records.
Mafumu akhala akugulitsa malo kwa anthu obwera, amene ali ndi ndalama leaving Malawians without land.
Unscrupulous employees at Ministry of Land have been selling one plot to two or even three different people, faking Title Deeds.
This needs to be addressed urgently.
Put in place a proper Centralized Land records System to curb this fraud
This is not fraud – just attempts at land grabbing.
Am not supporting what those people did but it could have been fair if heard part of their story also, the problem in Malawi is poor people don’t have a say always u only listen to them during campaign for general elections
Absolutely. They have a good reason they can’t just wake up in the morning & do this.
Jane Ansah, Peter Mutharika and Norman Chisale … .. . …. & co.
Ntchito za Timothy Mtambo zayamba kumuchitira umboni. Lilongwe walero ndiameneyo. Mtambo replaced dialogue with violence and this is what Malawi especially Central Region and Northern Region shall reap. Next time we shall hear that Mtambo’s house is on fire….and that shall be a good development so that Mtambo should know how violence feels like.
I agree with u.I once said Malawi wadzala mbeu yomwe izavute kuizula. A Malawi sikhalidwe lanthu kupanga ma protest owononga now this is what is going to happen moyo walerro
The seeds of violence were sown in our youths and society. We have a very unpredictable citizenry.Dont even try to reason with the Msundwe generation otherwise you lose both property and life
we can’t be talking about 1 million job with these savages. H.E Chakwera need to step up and draw a line against this primitive actions. the culprits needs to be arrested slapped with strong punishments. this must stop, its not good for our labour force, its not good for potential investors…..
Pure madness. Surely a few people from the village benefit from this place in terms of employment. Tourists or visitors are meant to feel safe. You would not want people trespassing whatever differences you have. Send them to jail.
