  1. It is #never_pleasing to have your property stolen.A man’s action is always right in his eyes thus punishing a thief in one way or another is welcome before men but GOD advises us not to revenge sin.Let’s ask GOD through Jesus Christ to forgive them and help us recover our property by his endless blessings.

  13. The Police has failed Malawians and therefore they have to defend themselves in whatever way for their own survival.
    Parliament must acknowledge that we need to make new laws that’s will support the existence of the Malawian people

  14. I hop tinzimva chigamuro kuchokera kwa Oberedwayo.. kut muontcheni kapena ayi! tikamuontcha azizayankha mulandu ndiyeyo Obeledwayo.

  15. Romans 6 vs 23 says and i qoute; “For the wages of sin is death” end of quote. He has been rightfully awarded.

    1. So u think de bible authorised that? Remember the same bible say do not judge. …who are we to give such harsh punishment. .don’t take HIS place for HE is the only one to judge us

    2. Even Achan when he stole in the Old Testament was stoned to death, it was per God’s directive . Those carrying out mob justice are actually not Judging the thief but rather they are punishing the culprit.

  16. On last Thursday night, thieves came to my house and were about to enter, fortunately, phone rung and run away with their knives,tell me what l could have done had it been they entered? I thanks God phone call saved me.

    1. mukapha ndiye kuti mwalanga? aliyense amaberedwa ndikuba kumene but it doesn’t mean we must kill each other like this!.. we’re not killers but if we kill someone for stealing that means we are also murderers! criminals osasiyana ndiwakubayo.. stop killing one another! think and be conscious humans! don’t act like vampires!
