Political activist Bon Kalindo has dedicated the year 2025 to genuine activists who played a pivotal role in the change of the country’s leadership from President Dr. Lazarus Chakwera and MCP to Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika and DPP.
Kalindo said the journey to President Chakwera’s ousting from power was not easy, MCP did everything possible to instill fear in Malawians through terrorism by MCP panga wielding thugs in a quest for President Chakwera to bounce back into government on the 16th September, 2025 elections.
He said for five years of President Chakwera and his MCP, panga wielding thugs declared Lilongwe a no- go zone to activists holding peaceful protests and opposition political parties particularly the DPP from holding rallies.
Speaking through an audio clip, Kalindo said the influence of MCP panga wielding thugs in terrorizing and hacking innocent citizens in Lilongwe and surrounding areas made the MCP and President Chakwera to feel that majority of Malawians are supporting the MCP.
Kalindo said genuine activists in the names of Ntanyiwa, Bakili Muluzi TV, Pastor Moses Shumba, Bishop Kachenje, Billy Banda, Lytone Mangochi, Hon. Kamlepo Kalua, and others, defied the calls for Malawi to become a one- party state and dictatorship.
He said these activists were releasing audios reaching out to the entire nation to vote for change of leadership from President Chakwera to Professor Mutharika beside them being hunted by MCP police and panga wielding thugs for death.
The activist has expressed his grave concern over the silence by President Professor Mutharika and DPP for failing to appreciate the roles taken by genuine activists that led to the entire population of the country voting for Professor Mutharika into government on the 16th September, 2025 elections.
He said the DPP and President Professor Mutharika have completely forgotten these genuine activists only to tank them not in exchange of money or positions in government but appreciating their central roles in the country’s political change.
The activist said activist JB of USA did his best by mobilizing his friends to contribute a little food to the people of Kasasire in Northern Nkhatabay district who were displaced by MCP Army on the claims that the land belongs to them not the citizens.
“Not even phoning JB in USA to thank him for his tireless efforts in campaigning for change of government in Malawi,” lamented Kalindo.
He said the MCP of President Chakwera spent billions of Kwachas sending police Detectives to South Africa, Zambia, and Mozambique hunting for the heads of Ntanyiwa and Bakili Muluzi TV saying had it been that these two were arrested, they could have been killed by hanging but God spared their lives and to this day, the DPP has thrown them into the dustbins as useless people.
Kalindo said today Malawians that voted for the DPP and Professor Mutharika into government have proved for themselves that in politics, there are no permanent enemies, DPP is dining together with those who have been obtaining court injunctions stopping the party from moving forward.
He said those that were in the forefront advocating for Age Limit Bill to pass in Parliament to block Professor Mutharika from standing on the 16th September, 2025 elections are the ones who are being thanked and given positions in government reminding President Mutharika that God is not sleeping, he is watching all this.
