July 20 Malawi prostests

Families that lost their relatives in the July 20, 2011 nationwide demonstrations have threatened to protest over unpaid compensations. Five years after the Police gunned down their relatives in cold blood.

In 2012, former President Joyce Banda promised all families that lost their relatives during the protests that government will compensate them.

Banda said money amounting to K30 million had been kept aside for the bereaved families but the relatives say up to date none of the families has received even a single coin.

Speaking with the local media, the spokesperson for the bereaved families Isaac Banda said they are meeting several challenges considering the fact that some of the people killed on the fateful day were bread winners hence life has now become difficult for those left behind.

“We are organizing nationwide demonstration because minister of finance, Goodall Gondwe told us that the government has no money to compensate us contrary to what the attorney General told us that we will get the money.

“So we are disappointed that we can’t find the truth of the matter as attorney general and minister of finance are contradicting each other. We are tired of being tricked that we will get our money.” worried Banda. He further said they are in the process of informing the authorities about the matter and said the exact date for the demonstrations will be known soon.

The 2011 protests which were sparked by worsening fuel shortages, rising prices and high unemployment in the southern African country, saw 20 people were reported killed.

  1. I dont think dat going to the streets 4 protests z a good idea. u mean lyk dat z showing de love & respect de deceased but u really know your loved ones died coz of de same protest so mwina mukufuna padzakhalenso chipepeso china. why every single thing 2 b solved with dialogue, mukumaopseza kupanga zionetsero u berak de shops & buildings of de innocent people not of de president. u kill each other damage other people’s cars but what do u gain at de end? Nothing. Tiyeni tizilankhula ngati ozindikira, ungamve bwanji ukuvomereza zionetsero atakuwotchera galimoto or nyumba yako anthu omwewo, udzaliriranso boma lomwelo kuti silinakutetedze. Think pliz!!!

  47. This is sad ,every issue results in protests.where is that malawi that believe in discusions.i suggest that try to use any other way of communication other than this coz our culture respect the dead and value them..in this case try to transact this business wth sober minds so as to respect those who were dead and the relatives too.

  68. putting the malawi government aside,i think their is some kind of unkindness to the deceased families.Despite the deaths of their family members they shouldnt have concluded with protests in revenge to government’s unfulfilled compensations,they need to show love to the dead since this is like showing luck of internal love,,the love of money has dominated their minds not thinking of their lost one

    3. That’s a very stupid idea,money can’t bring back their loved ones #Harry if it were me? I wouldn’t take the money cause I would feel like selling out the souls of my relatives,and their deaths would be in vain

    5. I support them government must pay them,some of the pipo who died were bread winners of these families and since then,no one is supporting them,where ever in the world u can go this thing happens if u have lost your loved one in such a way,in fact government was not supposed to be reminded or taken to court but just do it for the poor souls.

    6. aaaa mind you ”money is less than mindset”,for instance you can be given twenty thousand and you can fail to use it properly yet another person can invest in something great.so talking about that some were breadwinners of their families despite the government’s delay i think they must have indulged themselves in some small scale businesses,,all they want is to enjoy the ”death allowance”(note:in quotes) of their relatives ”zikusiyana pati kusangalalira chuma chamunthu omwalira?”,anyway after they receive the money and it vanishes from nowhere won’t they cry for the loss of their loved ones?? from there let me call it a pause…

    7. Umphawi wina wu abale umabalalitsa anthu kumaganiza zobwerera mbuyo ati akayenda nde ziathandiza chani? Kufuna ndarama adzidya chifukwa cha imfa? Shame! !

  75. Dziko liri ndi mabvuto ochuluka kale nduye wina aziyembejedzera kulandira ndalama kamba koti mwana kapena m’bale wake anafa pomwe amkathandiza Undure mwakadungura kupanga bread wa kunyumba kwake? Nosense.
