HRDC chairperson Timothy Mtambo, vice chairperson Gift Trapence and MacDonald Sembereka have been arrested for threatening to shut down state residences in a bid to force president Peter Mutharika to fire Malawi Electoral Commission commissioners.

One of the leaders of the grouping, Alhaji Bakali accused HRDC of fuelling violence and tension in the country, saying they deserved the arrest.

“They need to stay there in police cells so that we can have peace. The police need to investigate the matter at their own pace whilst these people are on full remand,” said Bakali.

He also accused HRDC of being behind the murder of a police officer Imedi who hailed from Mangochi.

Executive officer for Mangochi district council Abubakar Nkhoma received the petition and said he would forward it to relevant authorities.

  1. Zodiac is the most corrupt station in Malawi full of bias and leaning towards opposition . They celebrate when they see evil things happening to our country. They are always negative . This radio divides Malawians, and they are a big cheat to this nation. Mouth piece of devils. Shameful journalists are incompetent and emotional

  2. Asiyeni matelala. Paja azimayi anasiya kupita kukasoketsa ma blouse mumakondemu ndiye mwayi ogwira mabere aweni ndi omwewu. Omwewa ndi aja anavula mzimayi nthawi ya kampeni..

  3. HRDC definitely does not stand for all Malawians, they stand for opposition parties mainly MCP, if so all cities should have been demonstrating, Malawians are sick and tired of senseless demonstrations. When ever there are demonstrations, you expect shops to be looted, some markets are closed, were are these people going to find money to feed their beloved families, we must think of our children who don’t go to school during this period of demonstrations, are we teaching our children the right thing to do definitely it’s a no.

  4. I am a fun of Zodiak Broadcasting Station and most of the time i’m used to listening to this station. What I am reading here is quite different to what I heard from Zodiak because they announced that the Mangochi group were on the streets because they are not happy with the government move of arresting Human Rights Activists and they demand their immediate release. Please tell me which is which here. Do you mean to say Zodiak was lying to the whole nation? This is not good Journalism eeh!! But why are you doing that to us? Frankly I am annoyed because the media should not be in the fore front confusing us.

  5. Ndi chifukwa chake anthu amatinena Ayawo’fe kyti ndife atulo. Even among the Yaos, anthu aku Mangochi zochitika zawo ndi zobwerera mmbuyo nthawi zonse. Panopa zoti akuvutika sakudziwa. It takes a live person to feel pain. Awawa asiyeni adzichita zawo, ena tonse tiyeni tidzipita chitsogolo.

  6. Chambadi chilibe wosauka!!!!!! A people in support of their oppressors. May God have mercy 🙏

  7. You never matched for Njaunju’s death. Was he less a Yao and a Muslim? Is it because it is the government that you support in the middle of his killing?

  8. If the Yao want to be with the Mulhako government let them be. Malawi is already divided through regionalism. I know the Northern region stand side by side with the Central region. Together we will form our own government with rotational presidency among our two regions. We don’t need the Southern region to be part of us. In order for the Southern region to be part of the greater Malawi they must accept that peace in Malawi can reign only if there is rotational presidency among our three regions. This means we must introduce federalism government and in each region with their own governor just like in South Africa, USA, Nigeria, and other democratic countries. The unitary system is outdated because it is used by dictators like the one we have in Malawi. During the DPP and UDF rally they stated it very clearly that they will never allow the presidency to go to the Central Malawi or Northern Malawi. ” The presidency of Malawi will rotate between the UDF and DPP and will never go to the Centre or North, it will remain here,” Said Peter Mutharika. He continued, “Here in the Southern region we are many and make sure every one of you is registered to vote and we will win by 70%.” When you look at the DPP and UDF are all Southern region political parties. Today they have unleashed their true colours. They rig the elections and arresting voices that disagree with them. It is time we call the international community to impose economic sanctions against this regionalism and tribalistic mulhako regime. We must drum up the international community support. Right now the regime is busy arresting human rights defenders and threatening to arrest other political parties leaders. It seems like there will never be fresh elections in Malawi because of the violence which this mulhako regime has unleashed on other political party leaders. Jane Ansah cannot be trusted because we are at this loggerheads because of her. She needs to go. Some people have died and other got injured and raped in Malawi because of Jane Ansah. She cannot be our commissioner, and we will not allow her to supervise our elections–the bitch got to go. ALLUTA CONTINUAAA UNTIL MALAWI IS FREE FROM THE GRIP OF MULHAKO NOTORIOUS REGIME.

  9. Hrdc never killed umedi and if Peter Mutharika could reasoned at that time when people were still battling with the tippexed elections I think this death of umedi could have been avoided may his soul RIP. Till today they still are some voiceless to be heard as Malawians but Mr president is hardening his heart which leads to such things.The Mangochi yaos are the dpps no wonder they are marching against something important like what the hrdc are requesting the president to sign the bills made in Parliament and including of that 50+1 which the DPP has been worried of all the time. Should he fire Jane Ansah ?

    1. I used to like Mtambo at first koma pano zinthunzi azilowetsa phada…I now wonder which human right are they fighting for??? Akagwele tsopano…we wanna see things moving….anthu aphedwa, awonongeledwa katundu, abeledwa in the name if these so called demos….asah tatopa nazo…ma business sakuyenda ……aaaah zikutinyasa tsopano

      1. mbuzi non patriotic citizen. Njaunju anaphedwa uja kwawo ndi kuti and how long did it take kuti even a news paper ilembe za munthu wofunikira ngati amene uja. Umadziwa kuti Galimoto yake inachita kuochedwa. Mbuzi ya Citizen

      2. Osangokhala ngati mulibe zonena. Moti inu simukuwona kuti DPP must go for the country to develop. U president si ufumu. If people dont like you to lead them then just go and rest. Kukamila kulamulila ndiye chilipo.

  10. Uwu NDI umboni woti siwina aliyense amene amakondwera nawo zimene HRDC imachita. Ndipo HRDC siimilira a Malawi onse. Imaimilira a opposition.

    1. And what’s all this garbage. I thought you contribute on this forum to educate? So, what is it that you are trying to say?

  11. I didn’t know that some of the Yaos are still uncivilised at this age . Bushiri was feeding u shortly due to shortages of your basic needs such as food while your government lie to u that there is economic growth without tangible results.
    If we talk about poverty at a household level then Mangochi might be number one and seconded by my district Nsanje due to flooding.
    I hate supporting evil party like DPP.

    1. ,HRDC killed imedi and dziko lonse likudziwa zimenezi and you are calling them uncivilised shame on you ,chifukwa choti inu simuphedwa ndiye simudziwa kuwawa kwa imfa akakuchotserani munthu ngati ameneyu .Tikudziwa inu a MCP kupha munthu kwa inu simuona cholakwika , tiyeni kampeni ikayamba ndipamene mudziwe kuti mcp ndi hrdc inapha imedi waku Mangochi

  12. Marching FOR the Police? In a case like this? When will you march AGAINST the Police in albino killings cases? You Mangochi concerned fools!

    1. Eti Njaunju ndi Bakali wa maize gate deaths ayiwala kale mwina sakudziwa kkkkkk mbuzi zenizeni. Apite kwa Nsundwe azikakamba zopusazi.

  13. Total nonsense! Be doing politics while some of us are sniffing real change and Njamba coffee.

  14. We have msundwe baracks in liliongwe . now i can see BAM BAM UNIT B 13 in the making in mangochi.

    1. Iam from Yao tribe but what I can see in Yao’s is stupidity and that stupidity comes bcz of the ignorance,they cant see with their eyes they’re blind how can Peter Mutharika manipulate you guy’s, the other thing that we should understand is that these people were paid to do this,they’re cardet.

  15. koma anthu aku mangochi ndiovetsa chisoni. yakuwawani ndi ifa ya imedi koma njaunju ayi, uja anaphedwa kwa agoliati ayi.

  16. Paja school ndiyofunika eti? Most of these marchers cannot comprehend what human rights are all about! To them and their masters Mtambo is the enemy! Amangwetu tumuzani ana ku sukulu..umbuli ndi matenda ndithu!

  17. Paja a Chawa ambiri sanapite ku sukulu. Zikungoonetsa umbuli. They are used to being oppressed and they are puppets. Tiziwona.

  18. So who was behind the death Issa Njaunju?Anthu aku Mangochi koma basi ka ndalama akupatsaniko kuti mukamatche kkkkkkkk.

    1. Naweso umadya ndalama kuti uzikamba zonyoza . Let the citizen express their right that’s democracy .

      1. They are express over what?Why they did not express their anger on the death of the educated guy Issa Njaunju who was hacked like a goat or big?

  19. This is why Kamuzu said “multiparty ndi nkhondo” , it true in a sense that people don’t support the truth but the party which benefits them. Mangochi people are supporting the arrests because they are mostly udf supporters, if dpp didn’t form an alliance with udf the very same stupid, useless people would be marching against the arrests. Where’s our country going? Where are the so called honesty and warm-hearted malawians today?

    1. Are they stupid because they are matching against HRDC? Let them exercise their right. Ngakhale zilombo zakwansundwe zimapanganso chimodzimodzi. Anyone in opposition thinks those supporting gvt are stupid. Likewise those supporting gvt think opposition supporters are stupid. Everything depends on the side you are. Koma osatchula anthu zitsiru chifukwa akupanga zimene zikusemphana NDI mmene iweyo ukuganizira chifukwa iwenso ndichitsiru kwa anthu ena

  20. that’s the way of doing it achina Ntambo amajaira kwambiri kumaona ngati Malawi ndiwawo yekha ifenso kuno tikukozekera zomwezo

  21. Za Chamba mbuzi za ku Mangochi, kusapita ku sukulu ndi umbulidi abale. Ntchito ya HRDC akuthandauzura molakwika , mudzikangompha utaka ku nyanja basi.

  22. Akutumani? Wandu akumangochi mwasanduka ma judge kuti wandu wa HRDC asatuluke ku polisi? which laws are you using? mwangodya kashi basi

  23. These are DPP mercenaries masquerading as concerned citizens. Ayenera kuti alipidwa for their foolish demonstration. Bwanji sanachite demonstration ataphedwa Issa Njauju yemewe ndi waku Mangochi komweko?

  24. HRDC needs to disappear so that we can have PEACE. Mtambo, Trapence, Sembereka should be in prison.

    1. A chawa,,,,,,what do you mean? Bwanji kunyoza mitundu ya amnzanu?

      Kumeneko ndiye kupusa. Do you mean everyone who stays or marches/ demonstrates in Mangochi is from the Yao tribe? Kodi umbuli bwanji inu so called educated fools? Kodi simudziwa mpakana lero kuti Reverend Sembereka yemwe wamangidwayo ndi mu Yao waku Mangochi ? Kodi mpakana lero you dont know the hero Daud Selemani….the computer wizard ku MCP ndi mu Yao?

      Then, why kunyoza a Yao onse kuti ngosaphunzira? A Yao omwe ali UTM ndi MCP angamve bwanji ngati mukuwanyoza chonchi?

      1. Che Makanjila, leave these stupid people who claim to be educated. They don’t know that Sembereka is our own. Suleman the computer wizard is our own. We have doctors, lecturers, engineers from Mangochi. But we don’t make noise like these educated savages.
