Muvi Wa Chilungamo  welcomes Mtambo back into activism

By Vincent Gunde

President and Commander in Chief of Muvi wa Chilungamo Revolutionary Party (MRP) Bantu Saunders Jumah, has welcomed Timothy Pagonachi Mtambo back into full time activism, advising him that it is never too late, he has to prove himself on the ground.

Jumah has described Mtambo as a beacon of the MCP Tonse Alliance government and his returning back to activism is giving President Dr. Lazarus McCarthy Chakwera and his MCP a vote of no confidence that Malawians are regretting to have voted for Chakwera into government in June, 2020.

He said looking at the time Mtambo is returning to activism, the words alone spoken by Mtambo have proved that Malawi is a failed state advising him that next time he will be in government, he should strive to bring change for Malawians to trust him.

Speaking through his face book page widely read by millions of people in Malawi and Africa, Jumah said Mtambo is an architect of the MCP led Tonse Alliance government and by confessing that President Chakwera is a failure, MRP has praised him that he has sense.

Jumah has reminded Malawians that in 2020 he blamed President Chakwera for appointing Mtambo into a cabinet position that he is a soldier and once a soldier always a soldier, 2 years later, he has been abandoned claiming that Mtambo himself did not see this coming.

He said the Revolutionary voice has welcomed Mtambo back into the land of activism to join activist Bon Elias Kalindo who is regarded as the only activist standing on the last line of activism in Malawi after his fellow activists found greener pastures of money in the MCP led government.

He said the exit of 4 prominent politicians from the MCP such as Reverend Maurice Munthali, Kamuzu Chibambo, Enoch Chihana and the latest Mtambo is clearly mean that in the MCP there is no future trusting Mtambo that he cannot be bought just like other activists have proved to Malawians.

“Credit must go to these four people for opening their eyes that there is no future in the MCP coming back to join the suffering citizens that are believing that they don’t have a leader to stand for them in Malawi,” said Jumah.

He has since advised Malawians that the children of Israel besides their sufferings in the wilderness, they did not go back to Egypt saying time is now for them to elect leaders that will take them to the promised land of Canaan.

President Chakwera and Ministry of Local Government Victorious in Court Battle

By Twink Jones Gadama

In a recent legal showdown at the High Court in Lilongwe, President Lazarus Chakwera and the Ministry of Local Government, Unity, and Culture emerged triumphant in a case brought against them by Yohane Ndundu. The lawsuit stemmed from Ndundu’s dismissal from the position of Senior Chief Kalumo in Ntchisi District last year.

Judge Howard Pemba delivered a decisive ruling yesterday, asserting that Ndundu’s claims against the defendants, including his relative Peter Kamvumbula, lacked merit. The court found that Ndundu had engaged in various misconducts, including corruption and unwarranted removal of village heads, despite receiving multiple warnings.

Following a thorough examination of all parties’ testimonies, the court lifted the injunction previously granted to Ndundu and ordered him to cover the legal costs. Attorney General Thabo Chakaka Nyirenda confirmed the court’s decision to Zodiak Online.

When approached for comment, Ndundu expressed unawareness of the ruling and requested time before providing a statement. The judgement marks a significant legal victory for President Chakwera and the Ministry of Local Government, underscoring the importance of upholding integrity and accountability in public service.

Mangochi MP claims council contract awarded  to incompetent contractor on Bridge project


By Burnett Munthali

Member of Parliament for Mangochi Central Victoria Kingston has accused Mangochi district council of awarding a contract to what she describes as an incompetent contractor on the GESD-funded Koche Bridge project.

Kingston alleges that this has contributed to the substandard works which has left the 68 million kwacha worth project in a dilapidated state before completion with only 18 million kwacha remaining for the project.

She was speaking on Tuesday in Mangochi when Centre for Social Accountability and Transparency (CSAT) was presenting its findings to the district council officials, MPs, traditional leaders and Area Development Committee members on the implementation of projects.

While acknowledging the concern, District Director of Planning and Development Newton Munthali said the council has terminated the contract; adding  they are yet to identify another contractor to finish the project as they are waiting for approval from the World Bank.

Meanwhile, CSAT’s Engagement Officer Moffat Phiri has advised district councils in the country to seriously scrutinize contractors before awarding them contracts.

Bridge failures can lead to injuries, loss of life, and property damage on a scale equal to plane crashes, terrorist attacks, and natural disasters. That’s why bridge designers, engineers, construction workers, managers, and inspectors take their jobs so seriously.

His presence on the pitch is sure to bring a sense of calm and security to the team’s defense, something that has been lacking in recent matches.

Chigaula’s signing couldn’t have come at a better time for Creck Sporting, who have been looking to shore up their defense in order to compete against some of the tougher teams in the league. With Chigaula in the lineup, the team hopes to turn things around and start climbing up the standings.

Speaking about the move, Creck Sporting’s manager, John Mwale, expressed his excitement about having Chigaula on board. “We believe that Talandira’s addition to the team will make a huge difference in our defense. His skills and experience will be invaluable as we strive to improve our performances and achieve our goals this season,” he said.

By Twink Jones Gadama

In a bid to revitalize the Democratic Progressive Party’s UK wing, a new leadership team has been elected with a mission to bring about change and restore glory to Malawi. The Annual General Meeting (AGM) held on April 28, 2024, saw Dr. Kennedy Bashan Nkhoma taking over as Chairperson, with a firm commitment to oust the current Tonse Alliance administration led by Lazarus Chakwera and the Malawi Congress Party (MCP).

Dr. Nkhoma, a long-time member of the DPP-UK wing who previously served as Coordinator, outlined his vision for the future of the party during his acceptance speech. He emphasized the need to address issues of corruption and nepotism that have plagued the country under the current government, causing suffering for many Malawians.


“I am honored to lead the DPP-UK wing at this crucial moment in Malawi’s history. Our party has a proud legacy of serving the people and it is our duty to continue that tradition by bringing about positive change for all Malawians,” Dr. Nkhoma stated.

The new leadership team, which includes Vice Chairperson Ken Mjojo, Secretary General Tim Duncan, Treasurer General Camden Kadzunguza, Strategists Goodson Saiwala and Marvin Chirupani, Communications Director Marvin Chirupani, and Public Relations Officer Tinali Alfezema, is determined to rally support and mobilize resources to support the party’s agenda of restoring the DPP and former President Arthur Peter Mutharika (APM) to power.

One of the key priorities of the DPP-UK wing under the new leadership will be to engage with Malawians both at home and abroad to garner support for their vision of a better future for the country. Dr. Nkhoma has indicated plans to conduct interviews with various media outlets to outline the party’s strategy for the upcoming elections and to share their vision for reshaping Malawi’s political landscape.

The DPP-UK wing has also committed to continuing the charitable work started by their predecessors, Dr. Neza Chatuwa and Lewis Kamundi, including fundraising for flood and COVID-19 victims in Malawi. The new leadership team recognizes the importance of giving back to the community and supporting those in need as part of their commitment to serving the people of Malawi.

As the DPP-UK wing prepares for the upcoming elections, they are determined to run a strong campaign focused on promoting transparency, accountability, and good governance. The party believes that by working together with Malawians both at home and abroad, they can bring about positive change and create a better future for the country.

Through their dedication and hard work, the new leadership team of the DPP-UK wing is poised to make a significant impact on Malawi’s political landscape and help shape a brighter future for all Malawians. With a strong commitment to their values and vision, they are ready to lead the party to success in the upcoming elections and beyond.
