Government has said many foreigners managed to register during the National Identity mass registration campaign in the Southern Region.

This was revealed on Wednesday, September 13 at Ryalls hotel in Blantyre at a joint press conference by US Ambassador to Malawi Virginia Palmer and Ministry of Home Affairs and Internal Security Grace Chiumia.

Chiumia says many foreigners managed to register.

At the conference, it was noted that some districts bordering with Mozambique registered more people than the estimated populations of the districts.

According to statistics delivered at the press conference, Blantyre registered 98% of the estimated population, Nsanje 105.7%, Chikwawa 107.4%, Mulanje 99.3%, Thyolo 95.4%, Neno 105.3%, Mwanza 109.2% and Chiradzulu 80.6%.

Responding to why this was happening, minister of home affairs and internal security Chiumia said that the figures really showed that many foreigners managed to register in the border districts.

She however assured people not to worry about this claiming no foreigner will be given a Malawian ID card.

Chiumia further said measures have been put in place to identify all foreigners who got registered.

At the conference, Palmer officially announced the statistics for phase 3 of the national ID mass registration campaign.

Ambassador Palmer said in Phase 3, just as in phase 1 and 2, the NRB has achieved nearly full registration coverage among the eligible population and said registration coverage is at 98.5 % in phase 3.

The ambassador said in Phase 3, the estimated number of registrants was 2,256,000 but to date 2,222,000 persons have had their personal data collected by the registration teams representing about 98.5% coverage of the projected eligible population.

She further said in Chiradzulu district, the registration coverage is low at 80.6% claiming there are many people who commute for work to Blantyre and for most of these, it was more convenient to register at centres in and around Blantyre.

“I am delighted to inform you that in Phase 3, just as in phase 1 and 2, the NRB has achieved nearly full registration coverage among the eligible population. So far, registration coverage is at 98.5 % in phase 3.

“You may recall that in Phase 1, we reached 97.2 %and in Phase 2, the teams reached almost a 100% registration of the projected number of people who are entitled to a National ID,” said Palmer.

The National Registration Bureau has since said that it will not relent until every Malawian citizen in the 8 districts of Phase 3, and in the entire country, has had the opportunity to register.

  56. Mwalemba dala ma foreigners cholinga choti muwagwiritse pobera mavoti in an on coming election, koma sizitheka mwaonekera kale ng’amba mbava inu,maforeigner ali Ku southern region kokha.

    2. u are an idiot maybe u r a foreigner too if u are a Malawian can u go in other countries to take an ID very cheap like that?foolish

    5. If I were in your house would you be sending me to your bedroom the way you do with your kids? There is a limit to being a foreigner otherwise there would have been no geographical demarcations, visas, passports etc

    17. I support Shepherd Mzee Wenger Phiri his brain is brighter u are a future president of malawi we are brothers n sisters Id wil be given to everyone that has been in malawi for duration of 5 yrs ndikuti ndi zikwa ya muzi n the chief suppose to know those people akhaliska pa malo giv them Id

    18. Shepherd Mzee Wenger Phiri seems you don’t know what you are talking about Malawi is not a trush or to say agardern of our granny but its for malawians.when it comes to national issue all oreigners are not allowed even the white people also .check out with Tanzania when they were doing their registrations on national Id or voting id,seems you does not know what you are talking about.Yes they can have their passports and visa to be in the the country but not on our Malawi passport,id’s and others.Malawi is for malawians sitikana alendo ayi they are welcome but not kulowelana kuchipinda you get my point

    20. Always people get advantages of us Malawi thing you know our story all over we go we are nice people and those one who try to smuggle bad thing out side and their countries are not allowed in those nations get advantages of our passport.marrying our sister’s its not that avoided thing to be called foreign do you remember about lucius Banda song kupupuluma.if they get what they need they vanish

    21. Help them having Id is better that the life they stay in malawi without Id, putting them in a systematic wil help our nation plus them they wil be afraid to do evil things

    22. Let’s be hard as other nations are hard on us tell me is it easy to have permit here in rsa.How many day are we given when you are entering to be in.have you seen some being followed in Malawi as they are doing in pack station in joz lets be proud of our natio Let’s not spoil our peace it is only Malawi remaining peace country in Africa the likes of Botswana
