Fugitive Suspect Arrested, Police Recover Two Fi****ms

Kefas Peter Kanyama, 51 is in Police cooler in Mangochi for allegedly possessing unlicensed fi****ms and a conduct likely to cause a breach of peace.

Mangochi Police Spokesperson Inspector Amina Tepani Daudi has confirmed saying Kanyama had been on the run since December 12, 2024, following a chaotic incident at the Koche Roadblock, where he fired two fi****ms into the air.

Daudi says on the evening of the incident, Kanyama approached the checkpoint, driving a white Toyota Fortuner (registration NN 424) alone where he found two Liwonde police officers and Malawi Revenue Authority(MRA) officials on duty.

"Unexpectedly, Kanyama parked his vehicle, exited with a Greener rifle, and fired it into the air without provocation. He then retrieved a pistol from his car and discharged it again multiple times into the air" adds Daudi.

When confronted, Kanyama allegedly threatened to locate and shoot a certain Traffic Officer, who was not present at the time.

After his threats, the two officers attempted to arrest him but proved futile as he fled the scene in his car.

During the arrest, police recovered a Greener rifle loaded with one bullet and revolver pistol with ten live bullets in the vehicle. Kanyama failed to produce valid documents for the fi****ms.

Kanyamahe who hails from Kuweruza Village, Traditional Authority Changata in Thyolo is expected to appear in court to face charges leveled against him once the necessary documentation is finalized.

Malawi Sees 21% Drop in Christmas Road Accidents, But Fatalities Rise

This past Christmas holiday, Malawi recorded a significant decrease in road accidents, with 19 incidents reported compared to 24 in 2023, representing a 21% drop.

However, the number of fatalities increased, with 13 deaths reported, up from 8 last year.

Motorcyclists and pedestrians were among the most affected, with 5 and 2 fatalities, respectively.

Despite the rise in fatalities, the number of people injured in road accidents decreased from 34 in 2023 to 24 in 2024.

The Malawi Police Service (MPS) attributes the decline in accidents to their efforts in enforcing road traffic rules and regulations.

During the holiday period, the MPS booked 841 motorists for overspeeding, 1,475 for exceeding seating capacity, 173 for drink and drive, and 519 for operating unroadworthy vehicles.

The MPS is urging all road users to remain vigilant and adhere to road traffic rules and regulations throughout the festive season to prevent further accidents.

This call to action is particularly important, given the increase in fatalities despite the overall decrease in accidents.

In previous years, Malawi has seen a decline in road accidents during the Christmas holiday. In 2022, road accidents decreased by 16% compared to 2021, with 36 accidents recorded.

However, the number of fatalities increased by 10% during the same period.

As the festive season continues, the MPS and road safety advocates are emphasizing the importance of responsible driving and adherence to road traffic rules to prevent further accidents and fatalities.

Chikondi Chijozi, Chairperson of the Malawi Human Rights Commission, has strongly condemned the recent surge in violence against police officers in Malawi.

"Violence against police officers is a serious and troubling issue that affects public safety, law enforcement morale, and community relations," Chijozi emphasized.

The commission's statement comes after a series of incidents, including the killing of Inspector Benjamin Nyirenda, who was attacked by a mob while trying to quell a riot in Mangochi.

Sub Inspector Benson Ntota was also killed by an unknown motorist in Lilongwe, and Constable Cosmas Beseni was attacked and killed by a mob in Kasungu District last year.

Chijozi reminded the public that police officers are human beings with rights, including the right to life, human dignity, and freedom from torture.

"The public should bear in mind that it is instrumental that they respect the human rights of all, including police officers," Chijozi stressed.

The commission has urged the Malawi Police Service to investigate and bring to justice those responsible for the killings.

Chijozi also called on responsible citizens to support the police in maintaining law and order, emphasizing that violence against police officers can create lawlessness in society ¹.

In conclusion, Chijozi condemned the violence against police officers in the strongest terms, highlighting the need for respect, support, and protection of law enforcement personnel.

A 21-year-old aspiring ward councillor, Doreen Hauya, is urging fellow youths, especially girls, to take the leap and venture into politics.

According to her, young people, particularly women, have a crucial role to play in shaping the future of their communities.

Hauya, a resident of Chigwamowa village in Lizulu ward, Ntcheu North constituency, is running as an independent candidate for the ward councillor position.

Speaking to MIJ Online Hauya said her motivation stems from a desire to promote development in her area and address pressing issues such as lack of access to clean water, poor roads, and limited educational opportunities.

"I want to implement real development in my area," said Hauya

She emphasized by saying, "We lack good roads, clean water, and many girls have dropped out of school due to lack of fees and early marriages."

Additionally, Hauya also highlighted the dire state of education infrastructure in her area, saying a lot of schools do not have adequate school blocks.

"Schools in my area lack enough learning materials, including school blocks, making it difficult for learners to attend classes during the rainy season." said Hauya.

The call by Hauya is coming as the country draws closer to the upcoming 2025 general elections.
