By Burnett Munthali

In a letter written and signed by presidential and party spokesperson Shadric Namalomba, the Democratic Progressive Party has strongly condemned the Tonse Alliance administration  for its crackdown on activists, in particular the arrest of Edward Kambanje, a human rights leader who is calling for an investigation into the alleged corruption involving finance minister, Simplex Chithyola and her daughter.

The DPP says these actions by the current  regime are retrogressive, barbaric and undemocratic with an intention of suppressing criticism and opposition against looting public resources.

“Malawians have not forgotten the MCP brutality and terror during the 30 years of one party state. Our fathers and mothers quotes and defeated this old dictatorial regime of  MCP. We believed we could freely express ourselves our thoughts and feelings of frustration pain and all disapproval against any state inhumanity and impunity. We hope that we could freely get our leaders to account for the power given to them to rule over us. This was so until regrettably they coming in of MCP with each leader Chakwera in 2020,” part of the letter reads.

The DPP has said they further wish to register their utmost regret and frustration at the Malawi Police Service which is now on a spree of dereliction of its core duty of protecting Malawians regardless of their color, political affiliation or region.

The Inspector General of police has been called upon to introspect and ask herself the difficult questions the kind of legacy she would love to leave behind. Under her watch, the opposition has seen an increase of political violence perpetrated by MCP zealots which Malawi police chooses not to bring to book.

In its statement, the DPP is calling for the immediate release of Kambanje. At the same time, the DPP has called for the anti-corruption bureau and all law enforcing authorities in the country need to hide under the carpet available in the unsubstantiated of the Minister and her daughter.

” It is imperative to stress that Malawi is undergoing a revolution that not even those in power can stop it. Malawians are sick and tired of a regime that mercilessly rules with impunity. Malawians are heading a silent revolution that will unearth the regime in power out of its grip in September 2025. A better Malawi is possible with APM and the DPP come 2025 !”


Human rights activist Edward Kambanje, who was arrested Friday evening, was transferred to Lilongwe Police Station under heavy police presence.


According to eyewitnesses, a convoy of police vehicles was seen leaving Blantyre Police Station, with Kambanje in custody.


The transfer is believed to be an attempt to silence Kambanje, who has been vocal in exposing corruption and demanding accountability from government officials.

In a thrilling match at Kamuzu Stadium, Silver Strikers pulled off a shocking victory over Nyasa Big Bullets with a last-minute goal from Chinsinsi Maonga.

The match seemed destined to end in a goalless draw until Maonga’s first touch of the ball in added time found the back of the net.

Under the leadership of Peter Mponda, Silver Strikers proved to be unstoppable as they outplayed their opponents in front of a massive crowd of spectators.

Mponda’s tactical changes paid off as he brought on Maonga, who ultimately became the match-winner.

Former Big Bullets coach, Calisto Pasuwa, now in charge of the opposition team, acknowledged the tough loss and praised Mponda’s strategy.

“We concede defeat, you know in football anything happens.

We will see and rectify some areas,” Pasuwa commented after the match.

However, the Big Bullets supporters were not as gracious in defeat, as some were seen pelting stones at their own team’s coach bus in frustration.

Despite the disappointment, both teams now look ahead to their next matches with Silver Strikers riding high on their recent victory.
