The Bon Kalindo movement was in Mzuzu this Friday where it held demonstrations against the Tonse government and the rising costs of living in the country. This follows similar demos that took place in the cities of Blantyre and Lilongwe few weeks ago. Kalindo has so far given government 7 days to respond
Bon Kalindo led demonstrations that ended peacefully in Mzuzu where City Council Spokesperson MacDonald Gondwe recieved a petition. This is the only demonstration so far that Kalindo has recently led without being teargassed by the police.
Blantyre and Lilongwe demonstrations turned chaotic after police – demonstrators clash.
Hundreds turned up to continue raising their voices against high cost of living and other unfulfilled campaign promises.
Bon Kalindo and his grouping have given Government 7 days to respond to their concerns on the socio economic challenges, the country is facing.
Kalindo says malawians are tired of the rise in the cost of living as such will keep demonstrating until change comes.
Politician and Former UTM Director of Youth Bon Kalindo has emphazised that prices of basic commodities such as sugar, soap, water, cooking oil and others need to be reduced immediately for socio-economic welfare of the majority poor.
He has since given seven days to President Chakwera and his vice Saulos Chilima to address all the concerns.
