Vitumbiko Mumba, Minister of Labour, has made some scathing accusations against senior members of his party.
In a recent interview, with Leah Malekano of Zodiak Broadcasting Station, Mumba claimed that these senior members are practicing “politics of pull him down,” which he describes as archaic and barbaric.
Mumba, an engineer by profession, emphasized that he can’t engage in such politics.
He revealed that the senior members’ hatred towards him started in 2021, but he’s determined to fight on.
Mumba’s words of wisdom for those joining politics are: “Don’t expect ice cream. Expect thorns and find ways of dealing with those.”
Mumba’s accusations come at a time when political tensions are running high in the country.
His decision to speak out against party seniors is seen as a bold move, one that could have significant implications for his future in politics.
As Mumba navigates this challenging landscape, his commitment to not engaging in “archaic politics” remains steadfast.

They completely blocked the road to motorists threatening to harm anyone that threatened to break their blocked.
During this unruly behavior when police were forced to take harsh measures, about five albinos including their leader Overton Kondowe were injured and seven of the protestors were briefly taken into custody including a journalist of Zodiak Broadcasting Station, John Paul Kayuni.

Malawi Government said it wished to inform the public that it will not condone lawlessness in whichever form it comes, even if it is hidden in the name of exercising rights.
The events of earlier today, Saturday 9th March 2019, where some people with albinism blocked the M1 road close to the Malawi Institute of Management (MIM) in Lilongwe is lawlessness that should be rejected by all well-meaning and level headed people.
Blocking of the road, hurling insults and stoning road users can never be justified when Government has offered all avenues for dialogue and also provided support for members of the Association of People with Albinism in Malawi since they opted to conduct demonstrations and vigils.
Let the public including people living with albinism be informed that Government will not associate with exercising of rights in a manner that violates the rights of other people, inconveniences them, undermines their dignity and endangers their security and property.
HENRY MUSSA, MP MINISTER OF INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGY
Government has a duty to ensure that Malawi is peaceful, all people enjoy their rights, feel secure and respected and their property safeguarded. As such, anybody who conducts themselves in a manner that shows they assume to be above the law will not be tolerated.
We are aware that some of the misconduct that manifested its ugly head today is sponsored by enemies of law and order to provoke situations that would be blamed on Government in general and the Malawi Police Service in particular.
We wish to emphasize that no one is above the law in this country and the police will continue to fight lawlessness, ensure lawfulness and order, and secure life and property.
Once again, we would like to issue a stern warning that Government will neither defend anybody who violates the law for any reason whatsoever nor support exercise of rights in a manner that disregards the rights of other people..
Let us all ensure that Malawi is a peaceful country where laws are respected by all and rights are enjoyed by everyone.
