- Kalindo’s touching speech in Kasasire made woman fall down
By Vincent GundeA woman of Kasasire in Nkhatabay North broke into tears listening from Bon Kalindo’s very touching speech that slavery beside being abolished world -wide, it is still happening in Malawi as evidenced with the people of Kasasire and Buju whose land was confiscated by the Malawi Defense Force (MDF) as theirs.
The people of Kasasire and Buju have been living at their places since 1945 and the previous governments found them there and the coming in of the MCP led government of President Dr. Lazarus Chakwera ordered the MDF to force these people out of the area.
In the course of relocating them to unknown destinations, the people of Kasasire and Buju were beaten up by MDF soldiers forcing them to accommodate themselves at a place the Livingstonia CCAP Synod gave them as a temporary home.
Speaking at the Malawi First function of distributing free maize flour to the people of Kasasire in Nkhatabay on Tuesday, Political activist Bon Kalindo described the camp where these people are living as next to Dzaleka Refugee Camp in Dowa that Malawians are abusing their fellow Malawians.
Kalindo thanked the Livingstonia CCAP Synod and Bishop Martin Mtumbuka of the Roman Catholic Church for their tireless support in addressing the needs of the Kasasire people saying had it been that the church leaders did not came with their support, the people could have all perished with hunger.
He said looking at the way the people of Kasasire are living, it is speaking for itself that the country has useless leaders who are abusing the citizens forgetting that these are the votes and on the 16th September, 2025 elections, they will need the same people to vote for them into power
.
The activist said the story of Kasasire is heartbreaking thanking JB and his friends in the USA for the support through Malawi First appealing to former Presidents, Dr. Bakili Muluzi, Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika and Dr. Joyce Banda to visit the area to see the inhuman development.He appealed to well- wishers in the MCP led government to have an emergency meeting to go to MDF Commander General Dr. Paul Velentino Phiri for a change of heart claiming that what these people of Kasasire need is not money but to go back to their land.
Kalindo has also extended his appeal for support for the people of Kasasire in Nkhatabay to Prophet Shephered Bushiri, Pastor Dr. David Mbewe, Malawi Human Rights Commission (MHRC) to go there if not, provide their support through Malawi First to reach out to the people there.
“The people are sleeping in a small church without windows, no bathrooms, no tents, adolescent girls have no sanitary pads,” he said.
He said the people of Kasasire are claiming that they went to the court for their land but it has taken time for the court to come to their rescue suspecting that court judges are fearing to preside over this case as it involves the MDF and the citizens.
On a special note, Kalindo has thanked Member of Parliament for Nkhatabay North Chrissy Kanyasho for sparing her time to visit the people of Kasasire and allowing Malawi First to distribute bags of maize flour to the affected people.
Malawi First planned to distribute free bags of maize flour to the people of Likoma but its District Commissioner ordered the Group to write him a letter which the Group refused on the argument that the hungry people are the ones to write the claimed letter to the District Commissioner.
- BMTV releases teacher’s names allegedly drilled on vote rigging scheme
By Vincent GundeBakili Muluzi TV, an online Television station has released names of Primary Education Advisors, head teachers, teachers, and inspectors who were ferried in four hired buses from Nkhotakota to the State House in Lilongwe allegedly drilled in vote rigging scheme in favor of President Dr. Lazarus Chakwera on the 16th September, 2025 elections.
The Television station has claimed that 17 PEAs, 163 head teachers and a total of 911 teachers from Nkhotakota’s Teachers Development Centres, are to be part of MCPs vote rigging scheme describing this development as a threat to democracy and the elections in September, 2025.
The station has claimed that millions of tax payers’ Kwachas have been spent to hire buses, providing food and allowances to these teachers, the money could have gone a long way towards procuring maize to the hunger -stricken people in Malawi.
Bakili Muluzi TV said Parliament approved K67 billion to go the State House to be used by President Chakwera and his family, relatives and friends claiming that this money is now being used to buy chiefs, women and youth to be on the side of the MCP for President Chakwera’s victory on the 16th September, 2025 General Elections.
“Next week, I will come with a list of teachers from Dedza that travelled in hired buses to the State House for a similar activity,” he said in his narration.
Reacting to the teachers’ story as part of MCP vote rigging scheme, Political activist Bon Kalindo said teachers across the country are in pain and suffering because their leaders from TUM and MCTU are representing them for their own interests, receiving money from MCP and staying quiet.
Kalindo said it is heart-breaking that teachers after suffering for years under the MCP led government of President Chakwera have formed part of MCPs vote rigging scheme under their leaderships TUM and MCTU.
He has warned teachers that if the MCP wins the 16th September, 2025 elections, they will be held accountable for making it possible for President Chakwera and his MCP which has brought untold sufferings in Malawi to bounce back into government.
“TUM has been deducting teachers’ money every month without representing them and today, the very same teachers through the influence of money from the MCP, have forgotten the pain this government has inflicted on them,” said Kalindo.
- Will Bushiri get the deserved justice in South Africa when Pastor Timothy Omotoso is now acquitted after spending 8 years in custody?
By Rick Dzida
Today marks a historical moment when Judge, Irma Schoeman, a well-experienced Gqeberha High Court Judge, made a bold decision to acquit the celebrated Nigerian televangelist, Timothy Omotoso of Jesus Dominion International (JDI) in South Africa from criminal charges of rape, sexual assault and human trafficking among other previously dropped charges.
The acquittal of Pastor Timothy Omotoso after spending 8 years in jail awaiting justice has raised concerns about the fairness and reliability of the South African justice system.
Corollary, this development has sparked uncertainty about whether Prophet Bushiri will receive the justice he deserves if he is extradited from Malawi to South Africa.
Bushiri and his wife, Mary, are facing charges of fraud, money laundering, and rape in South Africa.
It must be known that the Malawi’s court ordered Prophet Bushiri and his wife’s extradition to South Africa, but their legal team requested the judiciary to pause the extradition order.
With the foregoing circumstances, the Bushiri’s fate still remains uncertain.
What is mindboggling is that it is unclear why the South African Home Affairs department announced that Omotoso would be deported back to Nigeria despite being found not guilty.
Typically, deportation proceedings are initiated when an individual is found guilty of a crime and is considered a threat to national security or public safety.
Does Pastor Timothy Omotoso remain a threat to South Africa after being acquitted?
In conclusion, suffice to say that the so-called men of God , pastors, reverends, prophets and sheikhs are human beings.
Therefore, it is advisable that persons of weak emotional intelligence including some women, some minors and some wives be protected at all cost.
- Muviwa chilungamo Revolutionary cries foul over electoral exclusion
By Burnett Munthali
Muviwachilungamo Revolutionary has expressed concern that it is being sidelined in various election-related activities.
The party’s Secretary General, Greyson Mikuwa, has stated that they are surprised that when organizations invite political parties to electoral events, they primarily select representatives from major political parties, despite the fact that Muviwachilungamo Revolutionary will also be contesting in the elections.
Mikuwa cited, as an example, the Centre for Multiparty Democracy (CMD), which he claims works only with parties that have members in the National Assembly.
“Through this approach, smaller political parties are being denied access to important information,” he said.
CMD’s executive director, Boniface Chibwana, explained that his organization follows its own procedures but, in some cases, they invite other political parties when granted permission by their superiors.
Chibwana emphasized that CMD sometimes extends invitations to other parties whenever they have specific activities that require broader political participation.
Muviwachilungamo Revolutionary’s concerns reflect a broader challenge faced by smaller political parties in Malawi, which often struggle to gain recognition and inclusion in key electoral processes.
The exclusion of minor political parties from crucial discussions and decision-making forums raises questions about the fairness and inclusivity of the country’s democratic system.
As Malawi prepares for upcoming elections, the need for equal representation and participation of all political parties remains a critical issue that requires urgent attention.
Smaller political parties like Muviwachilungamo Revolutionary argue that their voices deserve to be heard, as they, too, represent segments of the Malawian electorate who seek alternative leadership choices.
Unless steps are taken to ensure inclusivity, concerns over political favoritism and unfair electoral practices may continue to undermine public confidence in Malawi’s democracy.
It remains to be seen whether electoral stakeholders, including CMD and other institutions, will take action to address these concerns and create a level playing field for all political participants.
