Limpopo FM, an online radio station has thanked Malawians and individuals for coming in their large numbers at the Mzuzu Magistrate Court on Friday to give support to arrested activist Comrade Lytone Mangochi who was in the hands of police since his arrests on 19th January, 2025.

Activist Mangochi was arrested while on his bed and his pajamas by the police believed to have come all the way from Area 30 in Lilongwe to Karonga, they broke the doors and windows of his house and found him there.

It is being suspected that six police officers were acting on a tip off from other people that Comrade Mtanyiwa of Limpopo FM who is being hunted by the police take refuge in the house of Mangochi in Karonga and when he is in Lilongwe and Salima, in the houses of Bon Kalindo.

After his arrest, police officers took him to Kaporo Police Unit where he spent a night to travel to Mzuzu the following day to appear before the Magistrate court to hear the charges of his arrest and instead of Mzuzu, Mangochi was reported to have travelled to Lilongwe at Area 30.

As people were questioning themselves that why Mangochi was taken to Lilongwe as if in Karonga and Mzuzu there are no courts to prosecute him, it was reported that the Police travelled back with Mangochi from Lilongwe to Mzuzu.

On Tuesday, Mangochi appeared before the Magistrate Court in Mzuzu and surprisingly, he stood alone without a lawyer to represent him where he pleaded for bail but the Magistrate reserved bail ruling to Friday, the 24th January, 2025.

Hundreds of people patronized the Magistrate Court in Mzuzu on Friday to give support to Mangochi and this included Malawi First leader Bon Kalindo who spent two days in Mzuzu to give support to a fellow activist, Mangochi.

Limpopo FMs Nkanga zaona programme presenter Comrade Mtanyiwa, has thanked Kalindo for proving to the poor people that he is there President saying this was evidenced with his presence in Mzuzu urging him to continue doing that to the others.
Comrade Mtanyiwa also thanked Pastor Moses Shumba who travelled all the way from Lilongwe to give support to Mangochi in Mzuzu and for providing Malawians with updates right from the 19th January, 2025 the date of his arrests to 24th January, 2025 when Mangochi was granted court bail.

“Let’s hold our hands together when an activist and opposition party member has been arrested, we should all go to the Police station and the court to give him support,” said Comrade Mtanyiwa.

He has expressed his gratitude to the Lord in the heaven for declaring Lytone Mangochi a free man in the eyes of the Malawi Congress Party (MCP) members who are not sleeping but working around the clock to see to it that the hard-won democracy is reversed to dictatorship.

Comrade Mtanyiwa has warned the MCP that as long as he is alive, they will not succeed in their rigging scheme for the party and President Chakwera to bounce back into government on 16th September, 2025 saying Malawians are all free, what is impossible with mankind, is possible with God.
