Kalindo demands parents withdraw their children from Israel

By Vincent Gunde

Political activist Bon Elias Kalindo has asked parents, guardians and relatives whose children are in Israel as labour export to demand from government to bring back home their children claiming that most of them are regretting to have gone to that country.

Kalindo has observed that there is no way that the youth in Israel who will be receiving their salaries calculated in US Dollars could be receiving this money through their personal accounts here in Malawi calculated in Malawi Kwacha.

He said the youth’s agents in Malawi and the Government of Israel are in total disagreements over stories that they will be deducted money which they used as visas and air travels while in actual fact is that the Israeli government paid everything for the youth to be in Israel.

Speaking through an audio clip circulating in various social media platforms, Kalindo has reminded parents of the youth that the Government of Malawi received millions of Dollars from Israeli government for the claimed labour export.

Kalindo said it is sad that the youth are complaining while arrived in Israel observing that this is speaking for itself that they did not have time to read their contract agreements for their informed decision claiming that they were excited with travelling by air transport.

He described the jobs which these youth are doing in Israel as insults and mockery saying the jobs are those that people who have not gone to school here in Malawi are doing and not for graduates from colleges and universities.

“The youth are being seen slashing vegetables, picking tomatoes in farms,” said Kalindo.

He has also backed his interview with Times Television that if there was no Chilima’s policies, MCP could not have been in government today saying his remarks were not made to praise Chilima but speaking the truth and justice.

Kalindo has thanked Malawians for supporting Malawi First in the liberation of the country saying it is very strange that some activists have changed tone and are supporting the government saying this is so because their activism is bent on money.

He said without Malawi First organizing street protests, government would not listen to anyone claiming that Leader of Opposition in Parliament has not even have time to invite Malawians to patronize demonstrations but supporting government policies.

Muvi wa Chilungamo urges members to become disciples for its manifesto

By Vincent Gunde

President of Muvi wa Chilungamo Revolutionary Party (MRP) Bantu Saunders Jumah, has urged all Revolutionaries that time is now to get deep and memorize the sacred pamphlet “MRP Manifesto” and become disciples to spread the same to all the people for them to see the need to be unchained and freed.

Jumah said MRP calendar now begins of registering members who want to join the Revolution, creating structures and satellites across the country so that this “Blanket of Revolution” covers the whole country reminding them the secretive Bible verse which says “Fear is a sin”.

He said Revolution and fear are sworn enemies believing that all comrades in MRP are Revolutionaries and their enemy number one is fear saying the journey has now begun, it is time for Exodus as they have just completed the first chapter of Genesis.

Jumah

In an internal memorandum to all Revolutionaries from bottom to top, Jumah has advised them that this is the time to dust themselves up, rise from the ashes, pick up the strength and go out to meet 20 million citizens and Revolutionize their minds to move out from the comfort of poverty manufactured for them by political thieves to now say “Enough is Enough”.

Jumah said he is aware that some of them may be scared, be under pressure, feel less strong to combat and win this battle, assuring them that by joining the Revolution and choose not to follow the Elite politics of corruption, tribalism, regionalism, nepotism, favoritism, and self-centred enrichment, they are true Revolutionaries.

He said all must know and be aware that political thieves are living in comfort zone because they know that their people are chained towards their Elite-composed by corruption which is the people’s money (taxes).

The MRP President said the laws of Malawi have now opened the door for them, the registration of MRP does not mean enjoyment, laxity, and comfort, saying the registration has permitted them to get into Genesis of true and total liberation of the nation.

“It is the beginning of a tough journey, a rough struggle to unchain not only politicians and their allies but to unchain their people that have been addicted to believe that poverty is a creation by God,” reads part of an internal memo.

He said the task of unchaining the Mindset of the people to believing and depending on political thieves for their survival and livelihoods is very huge until the people come to understand that they are chained, they will not succeed with this Revolution.

Jumah said this job of unchaining the 20 million plus people to be unchaining the Elites who are political thieves won’t be won easily or simple saying it requires true Revolutionary Mindset Change which is MRP’s cornerstone number two in their set up.

He said Malawians can no longer be puppets of thieves in political suits, this is the time for them to unchain themselves and freed themselves and demand their taxes to good and better use that reflects on them

Migoza family demands justice from Police Area 3-Lilongwe

By Vincent Gunde

The concerned Migoza family members say they are disappointed with the conduct being demonstrated by Area 3 Lilongwe Police Station through its Officer-in-Charge over mysterious death of Mr. Emmerson Migoza who died on 7th January, 2024 following police officers’ assault that took place on 25th December, 2023.

The family says the conduct of police officers at Area 3 Police Station is very suspicious and likely to create public distrust to the Malawi Police Service (MPS) by the general public claiming that police officers are playing Daley Tactic Game on the matter.

They say the Daley Tactic Game will not only delay the timely burial of late Emmerson Migoza’s body but also intends to prevent justice on this matter demanding to see justice being prevailed in this matter for the truth to prevail.



Writing in a statement, the Migoza family say Mr. Emmerson Migoza who used to work as a Security Guard at Teachers Union of Malawi (TUM) Secretariat in Lilongwe was confirmed dead by Doctors at Kamuzu Central Hospital in the early hours of Sunday, 7th January, 2024 following his release from the police cell of Area 3 police station on 26th December, 2023.

The family say on 25th December, 2023 in the afternoon, Mr. Migoza (late) was cycling to work passing through the newly constructed Lilongwe Bridge when he was confronted by civilian police officers from Area 3 police station who were in their official vehicle-Land Cruiser.

The officers accused Migoza of drunkenness which provoked him as he does not drink alcohol, the intense argument erupted between him and a group of police officers who beat him severely and throw him into their vehicle together with his Bicycle, arrested and was released on police bail conditions the following day, Tuesday, 26th December, 2023.

Since then, Mr. Migoza had been complaining of severely head pains as a result of the assault he suffered while in police custody, saying on 3rd January, 2024 Head scanning was done at Kamuzu central hospital and was given a 3- day bed rest.

On Friday,5th January, 2024 while at his home at Kauma-in Area 12, Migoza’s condition severely deteriorated and was rushed to KCH where he was admitted and the same day, he was discharged on 6th January, 2024.

“In the early hours of Sunday, 7th January, 2024 he was rushed again to KCH where Doctors pronounced him DEAD on arrival,” reads the statement in part.

The family say surprisingly, upon receiving the death news, Lilongwe Police Station through its Officer-in-Charge proposed the name of a Forensic Pathologist, Dr. Dzamalala to carry out the postmortem and offered to pay all related costs, but the family and TUM Secretariat have opted for another certified Pathologist of their own choice.

Lilongwe Police Station is still insisting the involvement of Pathologist Dr. Dzamalala, the Migoza family has claimed that it is disheartening to learn that till now, police officers involved in the death of late Emmerson Migoza have not been arrested despite the strong suspicion that they played a role in his death.
