MY THOUGHTS ON THE IMPENDING DEMOS

Rev Sembereka
It’s more than a fact now and the picture is coming out clearly that the Mac Donald Semberekas of this world are politicians that are advancing an anti DPP government while masquerading as Civil Society. You can tell by their arrogance, actions and choice of words as there are still pushing to take to the streets, an idea which is becoming more unpopular each passing moment.

The three (is it five now?) are using the civil society platform to advance their political agenda and that’s the more reason why their colleagues in the civil society are distancing themselves from their plans.

They have chosen to close their eyes and ears from any voice of reason and it’s giving us all time to think “what the hell?”

The reasons being advanced are not justified if not laughable. These people are not fighting for Malawi but their own selfish motives to quench their political ambitions.

I personally love the fact that government is not stopping them from taking to the streets because this is their constitutional right as long as they abide to the laid down laws during the demonstrations. I believe that during the demos, security agencies will take charge and protect people’s lives and property without fear or favour.

Think about this; a number of those that are agitating for the demos served in the PP administration during which about K20 billion was stolen from public coffers but they all kept quite because they were busy benefiting from the loot.

Martha Kwataine served in the MACRA board and Macdonald Sembereka was working at State House shouting PP woyeeee! PP yanyamuka, odi ukooooo, amayi adutse! and we expect such people to talk good about the current administration? They will take advantage of any flows in the current administration to cause havoc.  

As Malawians we really need to question the morality of these people that are claiming to be representing the interests of the nation. We need to scrutinise the credibility of such people and their conduct before we give ourselves flat out to be used.

It’s a disappointment knowing that most of the times when these people organise demos they love using the youths to advance their selfish ambitions.

It’s now time for the youths of Malawi to rise up and refuse to be used by these selfish people. We can do better by becoming governments’ partners in development other than becoming agents of anarchy and disorder.

Time has come for the youths to fast realise that they have a role to play in shaping the future of our country as partners not as people that should be used by MacDonald Sembereka and company.
Our friends died on July 20. These were supposed to be productive youths but sadly some political machinery used them in the name of demonstrations.

As youths we need to be seen to be progressing in life and bring out something out of our lives. We need to demand for better lives. We need business opportunities, good education etc. Let these CSOs mobilise themselves to fight for youth empowerment in this country.

What will K5 million of NAC money that was donated to BEAM do to Malawi as compared to the K20 billion that was lost in the whole cash-gate fiasco? Let’s fight for a successful conclusion of the cash-gate cases not over an issue that seems to have come to an end after the Global fund cleared NAC of any wrong doing in the transaction.


I am very sure that Gift Trapence will also take advantage of the “unpopular” gathering to advance his gay motives, sunganeneletu amwene.
