LILONGWE-(MaraviPost)-The country’s Center for Multiparty Democracy (CDEDI) has given Malawi government seven days ultimatum to bring back the Chinese national who appeared to abuse Malawian children in the video.

CDEDI Director Sylvester Namiwa told the news conference on Wednesday, June 15, 2022 in the capital Lilongwe that it is very sad that some government officials has helped the Chinese national to escape from this country.

Namiwa wants government to act on Chinese racism video

Namiwa said government should flash-out Chinese nationals who are illegally living in the country within 48hours.

“The 48 hours is inline with the Malawi investments forum where they should check who is do what in this country especially the Chinese,” said Namiwa

He said failure for the government to act on the matter within the given time ,the grouping will mobilise the country citizens to the streets.

Namiwa has also called for the Chinese embassy to publicly apologize to the nation and bring back the Chinese national in question.

He said government departments should act on the matter with immediate effect in the betterment of Malawians.

Namiwa therefore asked government not to take the matter lightly as the video clear indicates the country’s security lapses.

He said government drowns attention to issues that are of much irrelevance for instance government come up fast to stop the coming in of South African artist and they should show the same speed to this story.

The Chinese National was exposed in a 2020 BBC documentary which has currently gone viral showcasing abuse of the Malawian kids in both verbal and actions.
