  11. The first assignment that God gave man even before the ten commandments came into being is ‘Kusamala chilengedwe’.

    Ndimawadandaula @ Chicana ndi @ Muluzi.
    Transition sinali bwino. Munakadekha nafe @ Malawi, anthufe ngosanvetsetsa.

    Dziko ili olo mutakafunsa Obama and his team that has run USA for the past 8 yrs silingathekenso coz anthufe timanamizana mopusa.

  12. Observe The Laws Of A Countly..Obey The Gods Commandments….A Reward For Sin Is Death….Don’t Kill….Osamawaputa Marangers Dala Ku Malo Awo Otetezedwa

  13. God seriously forbids everyone from killing a fellow human. See you in hell, satan worshippers. Busy clapping hands for that shit??? your parents must be ashamed of you. kupha munthu kuteteza moyo wa kalulu? Mbila? Bwampini? Mbawala? inu mukuombela mmanja?? ooo zikomo. Ndikhulupilira kuti nonse mukudziwa ndithu kuti akanakhala kut ndi abambo anu amene aphedwawo, simukanayankhula manyi amene mukuyankhula apawa. MULUNGU AKUONENI MWAPADELADELA

    1. And you You think God will be happy with the way you have posted your comment? The language used? Is this Godly? Just curious. Someone has taken another man’s life (Sin) and in retaliation you call him ( created in the image of God) a bwampini?

    2. Whether meeting in hell or paradise,,,munthu kupanda control akhoza kufika ponunkha zochitika…….just imagine police itangosiya zida kwa 2 weeks….

    3. There is a better way of protecting the environment, ARRESTING THE POUCHERS not KILLING THEM. Everybody has a right to live! Imagine if you were the one shot down. Maybe you had alot of plans for your children, etc, would you be pleased? People in Malawi are living below half the poverty line. They oughta go into the bush to fetch for something to eat. As far as God’s creation is concerned, an Innocent man has been killed.

    4. “The poacher”, was hunting animals not people. Dont get it twisted. if you are feeling confortable on his death, speak nothing coz Thy shall use your words in judging against you. Thank you.

    5. i am feeling so confortable on his dearth Mr Prince.. inuyo or mutabwera pakhomo panga ndikundisowetsera bakha wanga kaya kumupha mopanda chilorezo, sindingakusiyeni ndi moyo..ndipo mutha kuphedwa mwankhaza.. munthu owononga ndiwosafunikira kwa ine, sindikudziwa kwa anzanganu…

    6. Mukadakhala kuti waphedwayo ndi mwana wanu inu mudakatani? Penapake kumayankhula bwino kod inuyo simuzamwalira? Muzikhala ndi chisoni ndi moyo wanzanu osati kumaombera mmanja zimenezi ayi

    7. Mukadakhala kuti waphedwayo ndi mwana wanu inu mudakatani? Penapake kumayankhula bwino kod inuyo simuzamwalira? Muzikhala ndi chisoni ndi moyo wanzanu osati kumaombera mmanja zimenezi ayi

  14. It shows what was more important is the life of the hare he was trying to kill for anice lunch with his family, than the life of ahuman being who took part in putting our so called leaders in power. What is the law concerning the killing of these wild animals? They hav made opharns to a number of children this poacher was raising. Think of the widow his wife has become? all these for the sake of protecting ahare? nyasalan?{Malawi?} Wanyasiranji nyasaland? Why releasing burning frames to your on children for athing worthy amere token?

    1. By the way, it also shows poachers when in the park they prepare for tit for tati that’s can fire back to the rangers to avoid being arrested, it’s not only life of a hare I think. Find out how many rangers have been attacked by poachers you will also note that these people are vulnerable for attacks when ever in the jungle! They are also responsible to their families I think!

  15. Malawians have no respect for the environment, that’s why lero akulira ndi nkhani ya magetsi, akulira ndi kusowa kwa nvula. Ndili ikabwera ingowakokololanso. Koma coz of Kuuma mitu they can’t notice kuti mavuto tikukumana nawo kumagetsi (despite other management issues), ndi zina zoterozo nkhani yake ndi chilengedwe tinaononga ndi ufulu wathuwu. Instead they are busy mocking themselves pa ma social media, blaming the government.
    It’s a funny nation.
    @ Parks, chonde mokupemphani, asosoleni onse ophweketsa Komanso opanga zopusa ndi chilengedwe. Mpakana tiyambe kukhala ndi khalidwe.

  16. Akamufunse Sibo, analandidwa mfuti ndi Kapitowo waboma. Ndiye inu kungolowa m’nkhalango yaboma yotetezedwa eeh ngozitu. Kapitowo wa boma amakhala akuyendera ndi mfuti yake yokhomera, Sibo analandidwa mfuti yake, nyama zoononga zitaphotchola kuti photchooo iu Dzalanyama range.

  17. Posachedwapa panamveka nkhani yoti apolisi amanga alonda chifukwa chokupha mbava.Kodi nanga mkuluyu simumumanga?Chifukwa alonda anapha mbava chifukwa choteteza katundu ndi moyo wawo.Pamene mkuluyu wapha mbava chifukwa choteteza nyama za kuthengo zomwe zimathanso kuononga miyoyo yaanthu zikalusa.Ndipo apa sipakuoneka kuti panali kuomberana kwina kulikonse koma mlenje wabomayu anangofuna kuti aphepo munthu poti chiyambireni sanaphepo munthu.Amangidwe basi ameneyo

    1. God forgive you Mr. Repeant, for one of the major God’s commandment mentions that you should not kill a fellow human, and you are busy clapping hands? Hell fire is waiting for you papa
