Activist Bon Kalindo has taken to his Facebook page to inform the public about an upcoming demonstration scheduled to take place on the 24th of October in Lilongwe. In his post, Kalindo indicated that there may be some changes to the date or venue, and he promised to keep the public informed if any adjustments are made.
Kalindo emphasized that the demonstration will be organized by more than six civil society organizations (CSOs), including groups such as Banja la Chilima, CDed, and his own team, Malawi First. He stressed that the protest is driven by the frustration and fatigue of the Malawian people, who are eager to see changes in governance and the handling of national affairs.
“The fear is gone, people are tired,” Kalindo stated in his post, urging the public to share the information widely so that as many people as possible can be made aware of the upcoming demonstration.
Kalindo has been vocal in organizing demonstrations in the past, focusing on various political and economic issues affecting the country. This announcement signals a continuation of his efforts to mobilize Malawians in demanding accountability and change from their leaders.
The public now awaits further updates on the exact details of the event as Kalindo and his team work on finalizing the logistics. The involvement of multiple organizations in this demonstration suggests that it could draw a significant crowd, reflecting the growing discontent among the population.
