Supporters for the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) on Friday spoiled the Martyrs Day Commemoration by turning it into political event.

The event was held in Nkhata Bay and was attended by different political parties including Dr Lazarus Chakwera, President of Malawi Congress Party (MCP) among others and Christian leaders.

Before the day of the event, organizers ordered all political parties planned to attend the event not put in their political colours.

However, the DPP supporters defied the order while singing party songs.

Chairperson for the organizing committee Chief Mkumbira condemned the DPP supporters for the development.

“It is not allowed for people dressed in political colours to come close to memorial pillars to respect the fallen heroes,” said Mkumbira.

The Chief also wondered why the DPP supporters were praising President Peter Mutharika in their songs despite he was not present at the event.

“You would have dressed the way the MCP leader and Minister of Finance Goodall Gondwe have, please learn to differentiate between political events and national events,” he schooled.

Minister of Civic Education Patricia Kaliati backed the DPP supporters saying “everyone has his or her right to dress in whatever he or she wants.”

On every 3rd March, Malawians celebrate the day as a national holiday in respect to political heroes who sacrificed their lives against the colonialism.

  1. Looking at the DPP people who caused havoc on martyr day, they are the ones that are probably suffering most in this society.The are the less educated ones with nothing to do in their lives.And who should support such people? The less educated foul mouthed Kaliati of course!

  2. They should be doing that in Thyolo and Mulanje and not in the north.We are civilized people in the north.What is there to praise Mutharika for? That old man is a thief and useless failure of a president.I know it is this ugly Grace Chiumia promoting these cadets in Nkhata- bay because she is fighting for favors.
