Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) youth in the southern region of Malawi, have given 3 days to Limbe Police Station Officer-in-Charge to arrest MCP thugs who ambushed DPP members when they were coming back from the party’s 2025 manifesto launch and campaign at Njamba Freedom Park in Blantyre.
Reports are indicating that after the DPP launched its colorful 2025 manifesto, supporters of the DPP had to be going back to their respective homes with others singing songs praising their leader Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika.
The development did not go well with MCP thugs who organized themselves to ambush some DPP members at Limbe market in Blantyre in a violence which left some members injured and were treated as out-patients at the Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital.
During the ambush, one DPP supporter Henry Kawinga was seriously hacked and he is battling for his life at the hospital a development which forced DPP youth committee to hold a press briefing to announce their next course of action.
Speaking during the presser, the DPP youth have made it clear that they don’t want to carry out revenge against MCP thugs because their leader Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika has told them not to do so, as this will make MCP thugs to be encouraged doing evil things.
The youth have assured MCP thugs that their days are numbered claiming that there were others before, and have gone even apologizing for their atrocities they have been carrying out against innocent people in Malawi.
“We will take our pangas to hack President Chakwera on the ballot box and they should be rest assured that they will not bounce back into government on the 16th September, 2025 elections,” the youth said.
They have since warned Police in Limbe that should they fail to arrest the thugs by Friday 8th August, 2025 they will mobilize themselves to go into the thug’s respective houses to arrest them and handover to them for official arrests.
A voice of the voiceless citizen of Malawi Mr. Rodgers Kamphanagala, has backed DPP youth for planning to arrest the thugs by themselves and present them to police observing that they will do this because Malawians have lost trust in their police under the MCP led government.
Kamphangala said it is high time that the MCP and President Chakwera has been shielding these thugs from arrests claiming that this has tarnished the image of the party and many Malawians are linking the party to the old notorious MCP.
He has called on the police to discharge their duties in a professional way accusing the police chief Mrs. Marylyn Yolamu of destroying the good image of the police in Malawi through receiving orders from politicians of the ruling party in government.
The citizen has reminded Malawians that the DPP used to send its youth hacking and terrorizing people in the streets but it took General Vincent Nundwe to send his soldiers siding with defenseless citizens but not this MDF of General Dr. Paul Velentino Phiri.
“Malawians have no trust in their police and Army, this is a clear evidence that democracy in Malawi has gone to the dogs, the citizens are the sufferers,” said Kamphangala.
