Chikwawa residents have made a passionate plea to the Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) to redo the voter registration exercise in the district.

This call follows a recent visit by Peter Mukhitho, the Secretary General of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), who engaged with the local community.

The residents are concerned that some eligible voters may have been excluded during the initial registration process.

They believe a redo is necessary to ensure everyone has an opportunity to participate in the upcoming elections.

The MEC had previously announced voter registration dates for the 2025 General Elections, with the exercise being conducted in three phases across the country.

MTENDERE -PEACE BUILDING PROJECT HOPES TO REDUCE LAND DISPUTES IN T/A MPOSA IN MACHINGA DISTRICT.

By Our Reporter

It is very sad but true that people in the area of Traditional Authority Mposa in Machinga are fighting for land a development the T/A describes it as a very worrisome thereby calling for collective action if the situation is to be addressed.

The Traditional leader made the call on Thursday, 29th November 2024 in the area during a community dialogue on peace building organized by Malawi Human Rights Resource Center-MHRCC and it's partners, stressing that the cases are now over 50.

We have learnt that due to the washing away of fertile lands as a result of climate change and high population, citizens in the area are struggling to find better land for cultivation hence the continued land wrangles.

However, the Peace Building project being implimented by MHRCC funded by UN through UN women is giving hope that peace will return.

The Malawi Human Rights Resource Center aims at strengthening the role of women and youth in peace building by coming up with local infrastructures such as land tribunals.

In his remarks, one of the senior officials at MHRCC, Charles Gawani says it is not only in T/A Mposa where there are peace issues in the district even in other traditional area of the district have the issues and saw the importance to implement the project especially this time when the country is getting close to general elections in 2025.

With around 230 million kwacha, Malawi Human Rights Resource Center together with its implementing partners, CECOWDA and FOYODE are implementing the project in 4 T/As of Chikweo, Mlomba, Mchinguza and Mposa for 9 months.

Lilongwe police spokes person Hastings Chigalu has confirmed the development saying the three identified as Chimwemwe Banda aged 25, Gift Mbewe aged 26 and Charity Kathumba aged 26 were using a taxi to steal from unsuspecting passengers.

Chigalu says the suspects using a sky blue Mazda Demeo picked a passenger who happened to be a police officer at Kanengo but upon arrival at Area 10 road junction, the suspects told him that they were no longer proceeding to old town as they wanted to take a different route.

However when the passenger asked to be dropped they refused him.

''Suddenly, they started wrestling with the passenger trying to sn**ch him a laptop bag but failed their attempts and the driver opened the doors and let him out before speeding away,'' said Chigalu.

He said after the incident, the passenger alerted his fellow police officers who also alerted roadblocks in the city and the motor vehicle was intercepted at M1 roadblock where the three were arrested.

Upon interrogation, they admitted to have robbed several people in a similar way.
