President Lazarus Chakwera has unleashed a wave of outrage, fiercely condemning the violence that erupted in Lilongwe yesterday during a planned civil servant march. What began as a peaceful effort to deliver a petition for salary increments quickly turned into chaos as unidentified, panga-wielding thugs viciously attacked the demonstrators.
In a fiery statement issued by Presidential Secretary Anthony Kasunda, the President expressed his utter dismay at the disgraceful acts of violence, declaring that such barbarism has no place in a civilized society. Chakwera made it clear that these actions will not be tolerated, urging the police to move swiftly in bringing the perpetrators to justice.
The President’s message is sharp and uncompromising: peaceful demonstrations are a cornerstone of democracy and must be respected. He issued a stern warning to those attempting to disguise violence as political participation, emphasizing that this kind of recklessness will not be allowed to tarnish Malawi’s image as a shining beacon of democracy in Africa.
Chakwera’s leadership shines through as he steps up to defend both democracy and the rule of law, showing that Malawi will not bow to chaos or intimidation!
