One of the children who survived the Bingu National Stadium stampede has faulted the police for failing to control the situation professionally.
The boy who did not want to be named said police officers fuelled the commotion at the stadium when they began beating people as a way of stopping them from entering the stadium after the gates were opened.
“Police officers were fighting people because of the overcrowding at the gate. As a result of this some people especially children fell down that forced others to step over them,” the young man told Malawi24.
“Police officers are to blame because they used violent measures of cooling down the situation. Had it been police officers used proper measures, the incident would have been avoided.”
He then thanked God for saving him saying he was smelling death.
Eight people died in the stampede of which six are boys while the other two are a girl and a man.
On Thursday afternoon, President Peter Mutharika visited people who got injured due to the stampede and spoke on the need for authorities to make sure that such a tragedy should not happen again.
“Authorities should make sure that this does not happen again,” said Mutharika. “These are modern facilities with the ability to accommodate a number of people.”

why didnt they opened the gates on time? I blame the stadium incharge, they must get fired!!
Mudzaziona apa mukulankhula zofoira chifukwa zachitikira anzanu. Simukudziwa mmene situation inalili and u don’t know how that teargas saved others. It’s your right u can talk to the maximum.
Kod patsikuli chimachitika ndi chani?…If you say don’t blame the police, what were the duty of police on that day to let the people being killed by each other neither to control crowd
In this situation just pray to God for mercy

Sizoblamer police apa ndi ngozi zingati zachitika in these two consecutive months ziwanda basi devil in action
The big stadium with only 1gate that people can use why?ukeep 7gate to use vip other poor people use one gate ujust show ur stuppid government.those people by two much she/he must get there compasation money for fatal death
What other method police would use apart from firing teargas? Blame them if at all are responsible for gate controlling coz the gate was opened very late.
I give my blame to Stadium authorities had it been kuti anatsegula mwachangu ma gate ngati mmene akhala amapangira kumboyo pa Kamuzu Stadium sizikanachitika zonsezi
It was management error, not police. The gates should have opened much earlier on. In developed countries management would have resigned or face the chop……… ..and face MANSLAUGHTER charges.
kupanga fire ma tear gases kunapangitsa kuti anthu adzingopondanabe so i don’t think that can be the best solutlon
Nothing to say!!! ohhhhhh Malawi
You will see the will get away with it without any action taken on them! most of the people that we have experienced this before we know its true! I mean Malawian police beating people using the power of being policemen will agree with me! No wonder at 53years of independence there is nothing to show!
Malawian police are usles
The prblm with our plc z they think every prblm can be solved using teargas,if they don’t adapt new ways of crowd control this will be our daily results.

Ine kuyambira ndili std 3 timapita Ku 6 July,koma zoterezi sindinazione,oyang’anira malo ndi omwe analakwitsa apa,
My question is. Why did they had to wait to open the gates at around 11 when the cloud was there from around 8. If they gates were open early enough, maybe at 7 all this wouldn’t have happened. But the police guarded the gates till the cloud was too much and it went out of control. Next time when such events are happening do not close the gates cause it’s a free event. Everyone wanted to be early to get a good spot in the stadium. Police and the organizers failed to see that through when the place started to cloud with people. Especially kids!
Ths is case for gate man why thy didn’t open very early kuti anthu the moment afika azilowa kopanda vuto .to my self I blame the people thy control gates .why thy don’t open early
The police guarded the gates. That’s people are blaming them
Ndiponso zosenzi zachitika kopanda dongosolo abale zoona akuwona kuti pali ana bwanji akanapanga mwaulemu, ifenso tilikuno kunja sikwathu koma amalemekeza ana tikapita kuhome affairs
We can blame the police officers but let us blame ourselves, AmaLawi tisayembekezere chikhalidwe kuti apolice azitiphunzisa always, e.g pokwera taxi or bus kumene, zimakhala zopanda dongosolo, kulandira kumene zinthu za ulere palibe zadongosolo, ena mpaka amayesesa even kulandira 2 to 3 times, bwanji wosapanga line?or pokwera ma taxi tizifikila pa line we can’t wait for gvt to tell us what to do
That’s true am agree with you big
DPP ikuxiwapo kathu apa
Apolice sitiwaopa!!! Next tym! Kuzakhale asilikali!!!!! Nde mumaziwanso maguyz amene aja2!!!!! Nkhaza nde amalawi timafuna!!! Kudekha mkumvesesana ai sititha!!!! Kunakakhala kt kb sina2mize anthu ake eish!!!!!!!! Kunakakhala zachison heavy!!!!!!kuposa zaonekazi
awalipile makolo awo f the police
Human beings are often good at blame-shifting. They don’t want to recognise their contribution whenever something wrong/bad happens.
Our Stupid Police must b taught how or when to use Tear Gas. They new very
well that children were also in the stadium. But they fired tear Gas.
Chinapangitsa zonsezi ndi mphavu ya satana inazera mwa a police ndi oyang’anira stadium blame that satan we should pray to the lord almighty
Amen i agree with you.
Thanx bro 4 understanding ma comment
Kodi anthu amene mukunyoza apolisi muli ndi ukadaulo wanji wokhazikitsa bata gulu la anthu loti likuchita chisokonezo. Don’t just say eee apolisi akumalawi sadziwa ntchito yawo as if you better to control the crowd. Firing of tear gas was the most effective and efficient way of avoiding more deaths. If you think that wasn’t the best technique of controlling people who were scrambling and panicking to gain entry what other methodology would have been used to control them?
you have something in your head Mr
Sadziwa kumene if u don’t have anything better to say just shut the f**up
if iwas a police ii
@Rafick Aca Black China what u r saying is not applicable. U r talking of mic phone that would have taken long for people to respond hence more deaths. Tear gas was the only viable means of stopping the stamping of people who had fallen down.
NDIE KUT APOLICE SAMALAKWA ?
Yes,how can they fail to control pipo?? Koma akati kuteteza munthu mmodzi called pitala ndiye nambala 1.
Shame
vuto nde woyanganira malowo amadziwa kuti zithu zaulele chomwe amatsegulira zipata mochedwa ndi chani
Vuto la kumalawi sitimatha kuthandidzana ,but just blamming polisi nde mmamva bwino

Mukanakhala kuti munali ku BNS mwina mukadayamikako kuti teargas mukumudalo saved many more pple from death. Teargas anathandiza kupanga disperse anthu omwe amangopondana so that the police shud help those amene anavulala….., koma poti a police timadana nawo ndikale, we end up making comments like these. Why not blame the stadium authorities for opening the gates late? Kapena a police ndi amene amayeneranso kutsegula ma gatewo?
Ay mwina iyeyo atuuze tactics imene akanapanga akanakhala wapolice

MAYI INU NDE MUMATHA? Amalawi ena alind usavage thoooo! Ngat mupitirixE kupañga blame a police mutafe ndinu iwo aligwa
i dis agree,because iwent there too the police fired teargas when the stamped has arleady hapened if teargas was not fired at that paticular tyme many people could hav died,when teargas was fired people withdrew from pushing each other giving chance to those who were down wounded,some tymes dont just blame the police for the sake of blaming.i too blame the police when they did wrong but on this ngoooo!.idont think the police wronged.i was there myself.
100% correct
Mumango kuthilila ndemanga pakuti afawo p palibe wakubanja kwanu muziganiza bwino mutakhala kuti abale anu ali khulu la anthu afuwawo.Amalawi bwanji kupanda chifundo
phunzilani kunena zowona,osamangowonjezela nkhani kuti mutchuke,mmodzi mwa anthu ovulala ndine,iwas at central hospital yesterday ndipo pano ndikupezako bwino kupanda apolice kuthila teargas ifenso tikanafa chifukwa chigulu chonse chikanatiponda,ndingoti zikomo ambuye.
zinalakwika poyamba pomwe eish anakakhwimitsa mzere wabwino polowa.osati zomangodudana chipwirikiti it’s sad ana abale
The police failed to manage the cloud in the first place that’s why the stumped happened. That’s why they’re to blame.
Kuno ku Malawi mpovuta kuti anthu ayamikire ntchito za apolisi. Very rear. I don’t know why there is this much hate against the police by the public. Ngakhale olemba nkhani amapotoza dala nkhani kuti apolisi aoneke olephera nthawi zonse.
tear gas is banned in most stadia bcz they make the matter worse
Man bwanji mukubakira zinthu zapunsa gati yinzi kapena pa gulu la police wo pali m’bale wanu? apa ndizowonekelatu kuti apolice adakanika kungwira ntchito yawobwino
Komadi munthuyu mumvetsetse.Inenso ndinali mkatikati mwa chipiringucho kungoti mwayi wake sindinage pansi koma kunena chilungamo,akanapanda kuchotsa anthu mwachangu tikadafapo ambiri n za tear gas zo ine sindinazione coz pamene timalowa panalibe kuthira tear gas kwina kulikonse mpaka pamene anthu anayamba kumagwetsana,kusonyeza kuti tear gas wathiridwa pambuyo.
Vuto ndichomwe chinayambisa chipwilikiticho
I was in Durban yesterday. Just arrived home this morning. Am sorry for the loss of more than 8 children. Those in hospital, am wishing them a quick recovery….. Let us stop BLAME GAME!!!!
Zikugwirizana bwanji ku Durban ndinkhaniyi phambene
Ndiwe wapolice wa ponya coment iyi! Dont diffend police thr was wrong bro!?!
Is true to blame the police bcoz they failed to calm situation at first then spread teargas when things already worse,teargas add up fuel as ppe we’re trying to run from it
I blame the police too why did they fail to control the situation??? And throwing teargas is prohibited and throwing teargas at kids that’s worst thing to happen cz they inhale them and its disastrous
who told you that teargas is prohibited . Martha zimenezi ndiye zida zogwiritsidwa ntchito ndapolisi komaso muveseseni akhristu momwe wakambira, wanena kuti popanda kuponya teargas anthu akadafa ochuluka . Police ndi ntchito amachita kufusira ndiye kaya enanu anakusiyani sanakutengeni mtima mmalo Mulungu wakukozerani mbali ina koma ichi chisakhale chifukwa chosambwadzira apolisi.
Let’s not point fingers, AmaLawi tili ndi vuto lalikulu, sometimes tingaziteteze tokha without a police, e.g pokwera taxi, zopanda dongosolo even polandila zinthu za ulere sipamakhala za ulemu, ena akalandila even 3 times, akuti kuchenjera which is not good, we can avoid these problems ourselves not police, pokwera taxi tizifikila pa line, polandila za ulere let’s make a line so that we can avoid this problem.
anthu mukulimbana nd police instead of blaming organizes cos adatsekula mochedwa ma gate
firering teeagas is that protection???!kapena you are one of the salvage police?who were thea?you dont na how life cost my dear,just keep quite
firering teargas is the only gud solution at the moment rather than live ammunitions,the stadium director openly said on zodiak that the blame shud go to him and oganisers for not opening gates in time,he said police are not to blame.may be u dont understand teargas was fired after the stamped to avoid people steping on the wounded who were arleady down.what about people who steped on other pipo did they do the wright thing,everybody cares about lyf,if u care much why dont u go to the hospital to sheer them.world wide police is not loved more especially evil doers.
Just looking at your profile picture
And u expect pple to buy wat your saying? Dnt mislead pple the police are to blame.
In short anthu inuso munali pachigulu nanu munaganiza bwanji. Why couldn’t you wait in a proper order to get in. But still we blame police cause they failed to maintain order in the first place before zonsezi. Teargas makes people weak!
Dzina ati a khristu koma kanundu uyu adzakupwetekank tsiku ndi limodzi
Iwe wezzie kunzimva ku phunzila kwa mbiri iweyo?? Uganize nambala ya anthu omwe anali kumene kujako,, ndi nambala ya apolice omwe analikowo zimagwilizana?? Anthu tilipo ambili apolice ndi ochepa.. Kumayamba mwaganiza kaye musanalankhule ndikuphunzila kwanuko..!!!!
Akutelo kunziva kuzindikila heavy kkkkkk!!!!!koma choti adziwe ndichakuti anakapanda kuponya teargas,anthu akanafa ochuluka kwambili ndimmene zinalili.a police anali ochepa ndimmene anthu analili komabe anayesetsa don’t blame the police pliz!!!!
