Bon Kalindo, also known as Team Bon Kalindo the DC, has once again stirred social media, following his controversial Facebook post concerning the passing of Mary Chilima’s husband. The post, which expressed Kalindo’s condolences, has drawn sharp criticism from senior government officials, particularly within the ruling Malawi Congress Party (MCP).
In his post, Kalindo shared that after expressing sympathy over the loss, he received a threatening message from a high-ranking government official. The official seemed displeased with Kalindo’s comments, which the activist described as unnecessary intimidation.
Kalindo wrote, “After I posted about Mary Chilima’s loss, someone in a senior government position reached out to me privately, making threats and saying all sorts of things about my post. I’m left wondering, why is it that people aligned with the Malawi Congress Party (MCP) get so agitated whenever Chilima’s death is mentioned? What are they afraid of?”
He further hinted at underlying concerns within certain political factions, referencing the accident involving a plane that former Vice President Saulos Chilima was aboard. Kalindo sarcastically remarked on the minor collision, questioning why it has stirred so much anxiety among some political figures.
Kalindo also hinted that more revelations might be forthcoming, stating, “A lot was said in my inbox, and I might expose it for people to judge for themselves.” In a pointed comment, he took a jab at an individual in his inbox, mocking their appearance and issuing a stern warning: “Let them know that if this continues, Bon Kalindo will expose everything.”
Despite the threats, Kalindo reaffirmed his stance, making it clear that he is not intimidated. He emphasized that his page remains independent and will not be used to promote any political agenda for financial gain. “This page is fearless. This page will not partake in any scheme to misuse government funds because it’s a matter of principle,” Kalindo declared.
Kalindo’s latest statements have reignited debate, with many of his followers eagerly awaiting what could be more revelations in his ongoing critique of the political establishment. The activist remains an outspoken figure, and his recent comments have once again placed him at the center of attention, as he continues to challenge the political elite.
