Blantyre police registers people with albinism

Amid increasing attacks on albinos, police in Blantyre have been forced to register all people with albinism in the city.

The development has emerged as a way of curbing increasing cases of brutal killings and abduction of people with albinism in the country.

Senior assistant commissioner of police Ellobium Banda said Blantyre district has commenced registrations of people living with albinism and their relations in order to easily monitor them.

“This registration will enable us to work together with communities easily and keep track on the daily activities of people living with albinism,” Banda explained.

Banda said registering these people will help the police to know the proper details of how many the society is having, their relations, and the school they attend for easy identification of any form of abuse.

Malawi is becoming unfriendly for people with albinism as there are some inhuman people who look for their body parts.

Recently, President Peter Mutharika warned the public to stop the inhuman malpractice of killing, abducting and exhuming the remains of people with albinism.

  3. That is an illicit idea dude,,,
    why registering them??
    Are they new memberz to the country or what??
    The thing is that u shud jst find a proper altenative on how to deal with the evil ppo not registering our fellowz as if they are a commodity…

  4. The exercise is good to some extent but as others have already argued,do we have to trust the police that they will custodily keep the records without any possible leakage?Some police officers play ‘double standards’.Otherwise,this can easily expose our dear brothers & sisters as the registration may include names and their locations hence making them to be easily traced.The police should discipline itself for the success of this exercise.

  5. Steven Katelele, your comment could be seen as you’re accomplice to the evil practice of hunting down albinos. I think your statement ” too bad why registering hidden treasure” is very irresponsible regarding the gravity of the plight of our albino brothers and sisters.

  6. The very same police will sell the list to the killers in exchange of cash…..somebody has just compiled a hit list for our brothers and sisters to be easily slaughtered,whoever passed this Bill was not in his right state of mind,besides how can you Label people as is u putting a mark on a goat….for God’s sake they are humans and their rights need to be respected.
