Foul mouthed Malawi Homeland Minister Mchacha

BLANTYRE-(MaraviPost)-Malawi Deputy Minister of Homeland Security Charles Mchacha, has been embroiled in a verbal insults to Bobby Kabango, reporter for National Publications Limited (NPL) for being investigated on how a plot at Limbe Market.

In a recorded conversation gone viral on social media, Mchacha who is also Southern Region Governor for the governing Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) bluntly mention names of sexual male private parts as he insulted and swore the journalist, accusing him of meddling in his personal affairs in relation to the purchase of land in Kanjedza township in Blantyre.

Brimmed with fury, Mchacha accuses Kabango (who talked less and sounded polite) why he submitted a questionnaire to Malawi Housing Cooperation (MHC) over Mchacha’s land purchase instead of the journalist coming directly to him

The politician further warned Kabango that he would arrive at his workplace to meet him in person where he would also meet his editor.

Through the conversation there are revelations that MHC has in recent years sold over 600 plots to different individuals including former Attorney General, Ralph Kasambara.

“Over 600 people including Ralph Kasambara have bought land at that place so what’s so special with Mchacha?” Queried the emotionally charged Mchacha.

Mchacha is better known for his abusive and badmouthing behaviour as he has spat foul words to some people; particularly those who are seemingly critics of the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP).

This is despite the fact that he holds a public office.
