Activist Bon Kalindo claims he is Biblical David

0

By Vincent Gunde

Malawi’s self-acclaimed political activist and famous comedian Bon Elias Kalindo says he is the Biblical David who is sacrificing his heart to die for his father’s flock and that he is not afraid as God who sent him to fight for Malawians will give him strength.

Kalindo said he is aware of the threats which were revealed by Limpopo FM that he is on the list to be eliminated claiming that some other people have been given guns to kill him, others on the plan to kidnap him saying he has left all these threats to God to fight for him.



He said he made his informed decision before his family members who pleaded with him to stop organizing demonstrations against President Dr. Lazarus Chakwera and his Malawi Congress Party (MCP) to save his life and that he has a family to look after.

Speaking through an audio clip circulating in various social media platforms, Kalindo has encouraged those who have been given guns to kill him, and those who have a plan to kidnap him to an unknown destination for poisoning to fulfill their mission.

The activist said he is ready to die for the poor Malawians as their president and will not keep quiet to see poor people continue suffering as if they don’t have a President to share their concerns and grievances challenging his assassins that God has sent him for a purpose.

He said he was reliably informed that top detectives at Area 30- National Police Headquarters are busy compiling audios and video clips by activists so that come 2024 they should be all arrested and charged of treason offenses.

The Activist has however, assured Police Detectives at Area 30 to go ahead to find elements of treason in activists audio and video clips assuring them that if it is treason to speak of no fertilizer in the country, no medicines in hospitals, National Identity Card numbers are collected for rigging purposes in 2025, he is ready to face treason charges in court.

He said he will not stop fighting for the rights of the poor people to be respected and if it is to kill him, he will not be the first to be killed by the MCP, many were killed and others were detained without trial, MCP past history cannot be forgotten.

“If you kill me, don’t forget that one day also, you will die, I was born in Malawi, to die in Malawi and to be buried in Malawi,” said Kalindo.

He said if it is written that Bon Kalindo will be killed by the MCP, let that prophecy come to live that MCP was a party of death and is still a party of death observing that Rwandan soldiers as in Bakili Muluzi TV are in the country, driving VXs without number plates, some in a business of microfinancing and lending guns for money saying all these are lessons to be drawn before Kalindo’s death.

Minister Richard Chimwendo Banda warns politicians against using cultural groupings for their political gains

By Chisomo Phiri

Minister of local government, unity and culture Richard Chimwendo Banda has warned politicians in the country against using cultural groupings for their political gains, saying politics and culture are two different things.

Chimwendo Banda who was speaking when he represented President Lazarus Chakwera at a Chewa Heritage Foundation (Chefo) fundraising activity at Civo Stadium in Lilongwe, said instead, politicians should be promoting peaceful coexistence among people regardless of their cultural backgrounds.

The minister also appealed to custodians of various cultural groupings in the country to rally behind government’s programmes such education and ending child marriages.

“We are blessed to have different cultural ceremonies but these should not create boundaries among us but rather act as a cementing ingredient to our Malawian identity. No one should make us believe that we are different,” said Chimwendo Banda.

He said time has come when Malawians should stop aligning political affiliation to region, tribe or ethnicity rather think of the better future of the country and make positive contributions.

The Minister said government is restoring the powers and respect of chiefs so that they should in turn help government preach peace and unity to their subjects.

On his part, Chefo chairperson Stanley Khaira asked the Chewas to leave in harmony among themselves and with other tribes in order to ensure a peaceful Malawi.

Khaira said the Chewa king Kalonga Gawa Undi always advises his chiefs to live in harmony with other tribes and always lead their people by example.

The fundraising activity was attended by Chefo leadership, chiefs, politicians from different parties and representatives of other cultural groups including the Lhomwe, Ngoni, Tumbuka and Yao.

No Kernel of Wisdom in the Chaff of Namiwa

By Leonard Kavwenje

Slyvester Namiwa, share with all Malawians the class of cannabis sativa you are smoking these days. Namiwa, do you know that we are in possession of your recording; begging money from a particular Indian business mogul?

Namiwa, you have a court case to answer. You are unfit to lead the so called Centre for Democracy and Economic Development Initiatives (CDEDI). Your professionalism, integrity and public conduct boil listlessly.

Namiwa, let me lecture you, Zikhale performs his ministerial roles in line with the strict homeland security policy.



Why are you even failing to distinguish between the role of homeland security minister and that of police Inspector General? If you have issues to do with police management, then talk to the Inspector General not Zikhale.

I understand, an evil crop of unpatriotic Malawians is abusing your irrational intellect to advance their selfish political interests. Tell them, they are profoundly immoral and wicked.

Imagine, a dutiful and committed homeland security minister coming from abroad. A minister whose presentation at the 74th Session of the United Nations High Commission for Refugees Executive Committee meetings forced “angerezi kuomba mmanja”.

A hero who remains in the top 3 of the best performing homeland security ministers for the past sonnet of years, since 2009.

A minister whose brains at managing refugees remain unequaled in Africa.

A minister who has inimitably managed to bring 100 000 US dollars for the Malawi Refugee Act Review and refugee head counting to determine legal immigrants.

A minister who has earned human rights support for following rule of law in Malawi.

A minister who has instilled discipline in the police system. Only under Chakwera, Malawians continue to witness swift police performances. Malawi Police Services now professionally manage thieves possessing deadly weapons with evil intentions to rob banks and kill innocent foreigners.

A minister who has reduced rates of road corruption. Only under Chakwera, drivers’ licences are no longer money-syphoning recipes.

A minister who ably responds to the media with maximum integrity and timeliness.

A minister who ably manages meaningless demonstrations whose agenda are yet to be understood.

A minister who is demanding a fresh probe into the former Anti Corruption Bureau Chief, Issa Njaunju.

Surely, while Zikhale represented Malawi in Geneva, Namiwa and his partisan CDEDI wanted him (the minister) to fly back and arrest law breakers here in Malawi and fly again to Switzerland. Really? Alright, heat wave melts logic.

Good Malawians understand better that envy and jealousy drive some ruling or opposing political men and women to destroy this Nkhata Bay genius but Almighty Father, people of Nkhata Bay, the entire North and entire Malawi are watching your ill moves and motives. You are a personal attacker. You are too partisan. Here is a lecture; national security is about the army. Public security digs into criminality and civil matters.

Brother, you are joking. It’s too difficult now to defeat President Chakwera with tasteless jokes. Classical Zikhalenean strategies are super intact.

Malawians, now ably witness that President Chakwera is a greatly learned leader in all philosophies and sciences of brilliant leadership. Chakwera proves himself as a mighty fortune teller able to separate wheat from the chaff. Chakwera posseses a rabbinical knack.

Namiwa, you have created a lighting spark whose damage is unmanageable. Zikhale is a great and successful strategist. A highly acclaimed elections prophet in Zimbabwe. His political calculus, the Herald, equated to Anatoly Yevgenyevish Karpov, the Russian and former Soviet chess grandmaster and politician.

You hate an extraordinary whose public security synthesis has made the opposition and politically-engineered Non Governmental Organisations like yours, insecure. You hate an extraordinary whose crowd pulling newtons have flashed out DPP’s hope of revival come 2025.

My message to all Namiwas is that let us not be enemies of change and progress for a better nation. Zikhale is one of the most patriotic citizens. He loves his country beyond the limit.

Truly, sound reasoning Malawians deeply feel sorry for Bwana Namiwa.

Mwayamba zoti simukwanitsa… Mumuzula inu Zikhale? Muzigwetsa inu Nyama ZikuluZikulu?. Ndakayika…
