We love disorder – residents tell Blantyre City Council


Anthony Kasunda
Following the announcement that Blantyre City Council will be banning the hosting of weddings, parties and other discomforting arrangements in residential areas, residents of the city and other Malawians have lambasted the Council.

Kasunda : Confirmed of the news.

The people were reacting to the news that was published by Malawi24 that the Council will start cracking on party hosts in residential areas following the evacuation of an injunction restraining the Council from carrying such an action.

In the comments made, a good number of Malawians faulted the Council for opting to bring sanity to the city.
With the comments ranging from totally disparaging the Council over its plans to flying conspiracy theories, it has emerged that some Malawians on the social media are darlings of anarchy.
“That’s because Council wants people to be using its halls so it can collect revenue,” one threw a conspiracy theory on the issue.
“So, if people cannot celebrate at their homes then where can they celebrate?” another faulted the council.
“That is not in line with democracy, it is only under authoritarian regimes that such orders can be made,” one deliberately chose to mistake democracy for lawlessness.
“You need to resign, you seem to be out of touch with reality,” another commented.
One opted to be misled that simply because it is his own house then he can disturb his neighbors. He commented:
“My own house, you didn’t contribute anything to construct it. I can do what I want with it. You have no business telling me how to do anything.”
Few saw sense in the decision by BCC. One indicated that BCC was right because there was a lot of noise pollution in the townships owing to the rise of Gardens for hosting weddings and events that would sometimes go late into the night.
