There are many reasons to throw stones at our corrupt police force, but enforcing the law is not one of them. If the public have a problem with the bars closing they should resolve that with the government.

This is what reap what you sow looks like.
Now Tonse is in power they want to put restrictions and curfews .
Go to hell or rewind back time and take back what you said about corona.
kodi a DPP mulirabe mpaka liti?
Tikaluza masankho, as you did on 23 June timayiwala nkuyamba kukonzekera next election.
Not crying as you are doing thinking that the govt will be given back to you before end of 5 years, no!!!
A police,anthu amenewo anasakanikila ndi akwansundwe.
Amatha kuphatu apolice.
Police are doing a good job. It’s only those who do not understand that harm them while on line of duty.
It looks like the police were ill equipped. They were only pelted with stones. There was no gun fire. Why did they withdraw? They neither had helmets nor shields. I guess they just carried baton sticks.
It can only be in Malawi/Africa where police/army officers can break the law by packing themselves illegally in a vehicle. Shameful and embarrassing.
Too bad
