Hypocrite on the Move

Two weeks ago, I wrote about Lazarus Chakwera’s pretence at sainthood when, in fact, he is the Devil, a man who preaches against what he does.

My assessment has been confirmed in the past three days during Chakwera’s visit to South Africa where he is pretending to be concerned with violence on foreigners.  According to online publications, Chakwera preached co-existence on SABC on Friday, 6 August. He said in part: “So, as leaders we must educate our people to say, we are but one people, so we must live right with our neighbours.”

Chakwera preaching good neighbourliness in South Africa when his own supporters in Lilongwe are terrorising road users on Kasiya Road? Some road users have had to pay up to K20,000 for right of way.

There are many stories of how Chakwera’s supporters, who claim to be searching for his votes in vehicles, ask for national IDs and Gule wa Mkulu questions to ascertain a person’s home within Malawi. Those who fail the Chewa Test have to pay for their freedom. These are stories our media houses that claim to be independent have swept under the carpet.

Here at home, Chakwera has not condemned his supporters who have fallen in love with violence. He has not taught his supporters to live right with all Malawians. He has not condemned violence in demonstrations organised by MCP’s sub-office called HRDC.

He threatened to shed blood in Malawi for his loss in presidential election and he is still on that mission. In fact, that goal has not been achieved because no person has been killed during demonstrations and, in that regard, as an organiser of the violence, Chakwera is not satisfied, not yet, until blood is shed.

Chakwera is a pretender, a hypocrite, a man who loves violence, a hypocrite at home in search of relevance abroad, a man who preaches against what he loves to do. He did such preaching three days ago on SABC.
