Violence erupts in Bolero as Minister Ben Phiri installs new Chikulamayembe amid wrangles
Violence erupted in Bolero, Rumphi on Tuesday over chieftaincy wrangles as Minister of Local government Ben Phiri was installing a new paramount chief Chikulamayembe.
Reports indicate that angry villagers have burnt down Chikulamayembe’s headquarters, three grain-houses storing food for Gonapamuhanya cultural ceremony as well as a vehicle has been burnt.
Rumphi police officer-in-charge Ulemu Kalua said the police have now tightened security in the area.
Minister Ben Phiri was installing Mtima Gondwe as the new paramount chief at a ceremony held at Chinyolo village in the area of chief Mwankhunikira.
Bongolo Gondwe says he is the right heir to the throne and has been to the courts to seek redress.
Ameneyo NDE mtumbuka basi.Munthu ozungulira mutu..Anathesa Afford yekha.
Alomwe chokavekera ufumu wa atumbuka ndi chani? kufuna kugwanitsa anthu basi. Useless DPP
Umbuli uutu siukuthandizani ,
But why did Ben go to install a chief when the matter is in court? This is wrong. In my view I would think he or whoever sanctioned this is the chief perpetrartor of evil
Inu a bongolo gondwe, if you are the right chief why send your supporters to burn foodstuffs for gonapamhanya ceremony? Zoona mfumu yotani yootcha nkhokwe?
It should read Bongololo
Bongolo Gondwe nawe ukaba kochi nyengo yose iyi .Muhanya uno wacherera kuonanga nyumba zamnyako navingoma vyose kkk.Kasi iwe uli HAWE nadhiii!!!Zina lako lilikunenesya chomene chomene kuti ndiwe HAWE irara.Chimbwi
Don’t blame the Bongololo camp. The minister has shown his immaturity by proceeding to install someone yet wrangles are still in court. If everything was ok, why did Ben Phiri accept to conduct the ceremony 40 km away from Chikulamayembe Headquarters, thus Mzokoto/Chinyolo. A minister ntchito ikuwasowa yochita. Apa minister wawonjezera kugawanikana kwa anthu. Fellow Tumbukas, be careful with so called government ministers, they will come and divide us off they go and enjoy with their friends when we are fighting . A reasonable minister would say, since there is tension amongst yourselves, as govt, we will pend this exercise… Read more »
The vacancy has been there since 2018. These people have failed to agree on one person. The government isn’t involved in appointing chiefs.Ben came there on invitation for the installation only..
If you may say a tumbuka this are the real from nkhamanga kingdom rumphi district gonapamuhanya. Where is our country Malawi leading us to. We don’t buy leadership. This mtima has been acting as paramount chief before the death of his late dad who choose his as nex leader. How come the bongololozi. Where were you to discuss these issues before the death of paramount chief the dad to mtima.
KOMA GONA PAMUHANYA UYUUUUU

We have a new way of resolving conflicts tsopano mdziko muno and it is very barbaric, every leader must brace for hard times..sometimes we think its only politics we engage mob justice but the tentacles reach far..to our societies and down to families…sikale tiziona mamuna wapha mkazi or other way round chifukwa ayambana…za midzi tinaona kale ku Nkhatabay…
IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED . DIVIDE A RULE .
