Zikhale condemns stoning of Presidential mortarcade

By Linda Kwanjana

Minister of Homeland Security Dr Ken Zikhale Ng’oma has condemned the incident that happened on 12 September,  2024, at Mkhathe Village in Chikwawa, where some people pelted stones to some of the vehicles which was at the presidential mortarcade.

Addressing the press conference in Lilongwe on Tuesday,  Dr Ng’oma said Malawi is a peaceful country, and such type of violence has no room in Malawi

The Minister said Malawi is a peaceful country, and any form of political acts will always be deplored.

According to the minister, Malawi has always been known as a peace and a loving nation.

In this regard , the Minister revealed that the security agents have already arrested 6 people in connection with the stoning and charged accordingly.

He said the sad part is that all have revealed to have been sent to carry out the operations.

“We are currently investigating those who sent these people and all will be picked as well,” he said.

As we are heading towards general elections,  the Minister said there is need for political tolerance as demonstrated at Ekwendeni Trading Centre where Democratic Progressive Party and Malawi Congress Party were both holding political rallies.

“Yes, we are heading towards general elections this coming next year, in September, and you know, there is now fever and tension that everybody would want to make sure that the political party that they support should govern or come into power. Now, people are making some divisions in terms of races, regions, and a tribe,” He said.

The Minister said will do everything to stop people from that because “we are all Malawians, and we want to work as a Malawi and not on a regional basis. So we are discouraging all those leaders who are advocating that the people should work on regionalism or tribalism and some other things,”

The Minister said the police will do everything possible to install peace across the country.

“Our police is one of the best police in this part of Africa, and they are more professional now. Because we have reduced the levels of interference from political people, and that is making them work independently, and they are doing their things, their investigations, without interferences,” he said.

By Chisomo Phiri

A Malawian based in South Africa,Bashir Henderson Kazembe,has released a book titled “When the Ground Shook”, a collection of four stories that tackle various issues affecting Malawi and Africa’s developmental and democratic progress.

“I have always wanted change in Malawi, and being part of the movement to change things is why I had to pen the issues and formulas fathomed in my brain as the first step,” he said.

Kazembe said the book addresses issues such as poverty, political leadership, and the gap between the rich and the poor.

He noted that the writing industry in Malawi is booming, but reading is not a common habit among many Malawians.

“I hope that my book will inspire people to read and think critically about the issues affecting their country,” he said.

The author said he published the book while living far from home, where he experienced ill-treatment as a foreigner.

“This has fueled my desire to make a difference in Malawi,” he said.

“The main story, “When the Ground Shook”, is about the catastrophic results of the 2019 elections and how people must take responsibility for their own change,” he added.

Kazembe then urged those in power to give a chance to others whose ideas and plans can heal the country.

He said the book can be accessed by contacting him directly through his Facebook account, Bashir Henderson Kazembe.

Unavailability of Forex forces the postponement of Lucius Banda’s Tribute Concert

By Durell Namasani


Organisers of the Late Lucius Banda’s Tribute Concert have announced the postponed of the show due to the unavailability of Forex.

According to one of the organisers Johnny Banda who is late Lucius Banda’s son, the event has been postponed as there is no enough Forex to pay for the international artists who were expected to perform at the event which was slated for September 28 at BICC in Lilongwe.

Banda further said those who have already purchased the tickets should not get worried as the concert will still take place and new dates are going to be announced.

However, Banda said that those who would wish to have their money refunded, the organisers are committed to refunding the payments and that Information on the refund process will be shared in the coming days.

The development comes just a month after the postponement of another big music event by the same event organisers, ‘The Sand Music Festival’, which was scheduled to take place from September 27 to 29 at Sunbird Nkopola in Mangochi District.
