LILONGWE-(MaraviPost)-Human rights activist Chimwemwe Mbeya Mhango Ntchindi has slammed Malawi Congress Party (MCP) zealot Dala Kadula for threatening to deal with Frank Chiwanda over MCP Secretary General Richard Chimwendo Banda detention.
Mhango, the former Malawi Defence Force (MDF) officer is reacting to social media audio circulation which Kadula is heard threatening Chiwanda for initiating Chimwendo’s arrest in attempted murder case.
In an audio which The Maravi Post Post posted a day ago, Kadula who is also answering assault charges in court questioned Chiwanda as to why he initiated Chimwendo’s arrest.
Kadula further threatened to deal with Chiwanda if Chimwendo remains in cell.
But reacting to the audio, Mhango expressed worrisome over Kadula’s unpalatable behaviour of threatening others despite being in court on similar charges.
“Is Kadula really normal? Why he continues to pose threats to others despite being dragged to court on similar charges?
“What if MCP was still in power, what could be the fate of us whom he also threatened to kill?”, he queries.
The activist adds, “This behaviour is a threat to our society that is aimed at violating people’s rights.
“It’s my appeal to authorities to put this to stop. Let the law take its course on this uncalled for inhumane characters.
According to court documents, Kadula is Chimwendo Banda’s accomplices in attempted to Frank Chiwanda in 2022 in Dowa.
However, the court stopped Kadula’s arrest as he is also answering others assault charges.
But with this behaviour, the court might revoke the bail as he posses threat to society.
MCP Secretary General Chimwendo has been on detention for a month now as the court is yet to grant him bail.
But Chimwendo has not been fully charged in the court.
LILONGWE-(MaraviPost)-The High Court Judge Mzondi Mvula on Friday, December 19, denied bail application for Malawi Congress Party (MCP) Secretary General Richard Chimwendo on attempted murder case to Frank Chiwanda.
The court has therefore adjourned the bail application to next week Wednesday for hearing.
Chimwendo Banda applied for bail pending trial, but the State, through Senior State Advocate Luckia Japhali, objected, saying there was no urgency and that it needed at least two weeks to respond.
However, his lawyer Jivason Kazipatike argued that the matter required urgent attention, saying his client is traumatised as he remains under police guard while receiving medical treatment.
In his ruling, Mvula directed the State to file a written response by Monday, December 22, and set the bail hearing for Wednesday, December 24, at 10:00am.
Chimwendo Banda will meanwhile remain in hospital under police guard pending the bail ruling.
The case has attracted public interest on how Chimwendo Banda and his accomplice Dala Kadula will get away the case.

LILONGWE-(MaraviPost)-Human rights activist Chimwemwe Mbeya Mhango has described the repeated arrests of Malawi Congress Party (MCP) zealot Dala Kadula as a stark reminder of how politicians exploit young people for political gain.
Mhango, a former Malawi Defence Force (MDF) officer, said the situation should serve as a wake-up call for the country’s youth to steer away from politically motivated violence and instead focus on contributing to national development.
He was reacting to a new warrant of arrest linking Kadula to the alleged attempted murder of Frank Kachiwanda — a case in which MCP Secretary General Richard Chimwendo Banda is also implicated.
“This is a young man full of potential, yet he chose to allow himself to be used by politicians to harass others, believing he would be shielded,” said Mhango. “He could have channeled his political connections into something productive, but now he is battling multiple charges in court.”
Kadula is facing a range of allegations, including verbal threats against Mhango, leading a panga-wielding gang that attacked CDEDI director Sylvester Namiwa and other public figures, and inciting violence on behalf of MCP leadership.
Mhango urged Malawian youths to distance themselves from political violence, often orchestrated by party elites. “Malawi needs young people who are innovative, focused on development, and not pawns in political battles,” he said.
With the shift in political leadership, Kadula is now facing justice for his alleged role in a series of violent acts committed during the Chakwera-MCP era.

LILONGWE-(MaraviPost)-Two powerful former Malawi Congress Party (MCP) regime cabinet ministers are allegedly threatening human rights a Chimwemwe Mbeya Mhango for dragging the party zealot Dala Kadula to court over “life threatening assault”.
This comes weeks barely weeks after Kadula who is also answering physical and theft assault in court was exposed to have threatened to kill Mhango, the former Malawi Defence Force (MDF) soldier.
Mhango told The Maravi Post in an interview on Thursday morning that after exposed Kadula’s assault to the media, former MCP regime cabinet ministers have been pressuring him to withdraw the matter.
The activist claims that the former ministers have been using some MDF senior officers to threaten him to withdraw the matter on Kadula.
But Mhango retaliates, “Since Kadula’s assault case was exposed to the public through the media, two powerful former cabinet ministers during MCP government have been sending some senior MDF officers intimidating me to withdraw Kadula case.
“Let them know, I won’t withdraw this case until justice is prevailed. Kadula and others must face justice for the crimes they committed during MCP regime”.

But the activist wondered as to why public officers including senior MDF officers are involved into political matters, “The law is clear that public officers including MDF must desist from practicing politics inside service. Why some of MDF officers are being used by former MCP government cabinet ministers intimidate me? If they continue, I will expose them.
“This is the reason fellow activist Sylvester Namiwa was physically assaulted by MCP thugs in view of MDF soldiers and Malawi Police Service (MPS) officers. Many of these officers are in the service to serve politicians not the nation. This must end with the coming in of President Peter Mutharika’s government that whoever commits an offence must face the law”.
However, Mhango said he has reported the matter to relevant authorities for action.
The suspected MCP thug Dala Kadula is reportedly to have defiled Malawi Human Rights Commission (MHRC) summons after the commission received complaint from Mhango.
According to MHRC letter dated March 21, 2024, Kadula snubbed the commission summon till to date.
The Maravi Post understands that the victim Mhango, was threatened with a gun after he participated in the concerned citizens demonstrations which Bon Kalindo held in Zomba last year.
Following Kadula threats to kill Mhango with a gun at a certain place in Lilongwe, the victim (Mhango) reported the matter to Kawale Police.
Despite Kawale Police issuing summons letter over the matter, Kadula also threatened the officers at that time as “he was un attachable”.
“The Human Rights Commission (hereinafter referred to as “the Commission) is in receipt of a complaint by Mr. Chimwemwe Mbeya Mhango (Ntchindi) (hereinafter referred to as the complainant) against yourself.
“The complainant claims that you and a party activist belonging to the Malawi Congress Party: His complaint against you is that you have threatened to kill him following some work-related disagreements,” reads MHRC letter in part.
“Given the above, the commission would therefore like to hear your side of the story concerning the above allegations. You are therefore advised to present before the Commission on Thursday 28 March 2024.
“Your cooperation in this matter will be greatly appreciated”, reads MHRC summon letter signed by its Director of Civil and Political Rights Peter Chisi.
This publication understands that Kadula also assaulted the commission’s messenger upon receiving the letter.
But the commission hinted that “it’s still pursuing the matter”.
Dala is said to be leading panga-raiding thugs that kept on terrorizing demonstrators against ousted President Lazarus Chakwera and MCP leadership.
Kadula is also allegedly to be MCP Secretary General Richard Chimwendo Banda’s errand boy.
With the change of leadership, Kadula is now subjected to justice on various assaults he committed under Chakwera-MCP leadership.
