Ian Simbota says mob justice could end attacks on albinos.

Ian Simbota, a person with albinism and working with Malawi Broadcasting Corporation (MBC) radio 2, says mob justice is the only way to tackle cases of abductions and killings of people with albinism.

Simbota aired his views amid reports that over the past two years at least 65 people with albinism have been attacked for their body parts.

When asked if he is confident with the call by state president for police to add extra gear to combat the attacks, Simbota said he is not convinced with the president’s call and he added that he does not have confidence in Malawi’s justice system.

Meanwhile, the high court in Mzuzu has banned traditional healers from operating in the country as one way of curbing attacks against people with albinism.

  3. Oooh!!! This is Ian Simbota… I didnt know, I like this guy; he is one of my best radio 2 presenters together with the noise Dictator.
    Indeed this issue is affect as one of them it pains him more,.
    But life imprisonment with hard labour could be more better for me.
    How do you give 5-12years to somebody who has killed the other, is it appreciating them or what!….

  5. Best solution is to try them and punish them if found guilty because mob justice may result in killing some innocent people

  31. Whenever it comes to debate about why people are taking other people’s lives,my summing comment remains “THESE ARE LAST DAYS,JESUS IS ABOUT TO COME.”

  35. Thanks 4 coming with beter solution on behalf of your fellow albinos, mw is ready to burn these thugs, ngakhale zikuonesa kuti paling’ona zinazake from our Gvt zikuziwapo kanthu.

  45. Death sentence is the only way to deal with these criminals .Albino ndi munthu ngati ife he deserves to stay peaceful en alive

  47. khungu langa lisakhale chiphinjo chonditsautsa.. ndisiyeni nanenso ndili ndi ufulu okhalanawo moyo.. those involved aziphedwa.

  48. Zomvetsa chisoni kwabasi.kodi anthuwa akukunyasani kapena chani?basi kungoyamba poyerayera mwati anthuwa ndi ndalama.Ana amzanu amenewo,ok.amzanu akuti mwana inu mukuti money ok.muzaka zapitazo mwaononga mabere a azimayi ku chilazulu pano mwayamba izi ok.pano tiyendera izi kkkk,phungu aliyense amene dera lake kutaphedwe albino,akuyenera kuyankha mulandu chifukwa ndiye mwini munda akuyenera kuteteza anthu ake kkk

  50. To kill people wit albino its a deal of government include yr stupid president coz he’s the 1 uknw tht deal so people of ma fall Malawian dnt thnk tht deal icn finsh

    1. If i may ask u do u mean that these albinos they don’t have right to life?.They deserve to be killed like chickens en goats? .

    2. NO! That is NOT what I mean at all! But I cannot condone this so-called ‘mob justice’. Malawi is a civilised country and therefore these things should be dealt with through the courts. However, I also believe that the sentences should be very very severe.

  53. A human being is God’s creature so let God intervine for the wise solution to stop this devilish act…..Jacob 1:5

  70. Akuti mafupa akugulidwa pa mtengo wa tens of millions, ndiye mzinamizira asing’anga? Asing’anga amphawiwa angakwanitse mtengo umenewu? Akupha ma azibale athu achi alubino ndi womwewa awa. Msaputsitsidwe akamanena kuti,”This nosense must stop.” Nkhani yakupha abale athuwa akuyidziwa

    7. Ndipotu akuguladi ndi athu andalama zawo osanamizira asing’anga ngakhale Ku Tanzania komweko atafufuza anapeza kuti the big politicians were behind on the killings of people with albinism. Awawa asatipusitse main source akuyidziwa.

    10. mungaziwe bwanji poti muli busy kupembeza Peter, ufunse a redcross ndi a UN ndi amene anapanga kufukufuku. Chimene umadziwapo pa dziko ndi peter ndi dpp basi

  78. The battle is on and once caught, involved, and associated in albino attacks, we will just bring him/ her to ashes no compromise. Aboma mudziwirethu.ife zatikwana kotheratu. zoti muziti 2years, 4years, konko. ife ndi phulusa basi kuotcherathu apolice azangotenga zomwezo.

  80. Ikakhala mobyo nawenso uzipita nawo osangoyembekenzera anthu ena kumakuchitilani.Bwanji usalilimbikisa kuti death penalty ibwelerenso?Coz with mob u cud jxt kill some1 who is jxt a suspect

  91. Mob Justice is a solution indeed! tikuotchan ma albino attackers! bwanj osangopanga lamulo loti ma albino killers aziphedwa? iyiyi ndi business ya ma big man m’dziko muno..boma likudyapo pa imfa za ma albino.

  92. Lets be serious, we proudly say Malawi is the warm heart of Africa but our fellow albino “citizens” not “refugees” are being stripped off of their right to association, life, education, e.t.c. All the government can do is to launch sensitisation campaign and assure us the police are doing all they can? The judiciary itself mocking the victims and the whole albino society by granting weakest sentences as if albino are chickens. Are we really serious? We want life imprisonment for all who are lobbing albino, never should we hear any NGO backing these stupid people. ALBINOS are people like you and me, THEY DESERVE TO LIVE!!

  93. That’s the only best reliable way we have by now if these nonsenses are to be curbed, I agree with you In.
