“It is my wish that our President must come forth and condemn the violence,” he added.

The Catholic leader then condemned political violence saying the acts are giving a bad picture of Malawi to other countries.

“Those who are doing the violence must know that the Catholic Church is angry. This has to be for the last time this happens,” said Msusa.

For the past weeks the country has witnessed an escalation of political violence.
