The payerepayere anti-government demonstrations is set to take root in Mulanje tomorrow.

The demonstrations organized following failure by the state president Lazarus Chakwera and vice president Saulos Chilima’s to resign within ten days they were given on 10th January this year over failure to address many challenges facing the nation.

Addressing the media in Blantyre earlier this month, Kalindo said president Chakwera and his vice Chilima, have completely fail to fulfill what Malawians empowered them with and that they needed to Pack and go.

The grouping last week gave notice to Mulanje District council on its plans to hold demonstrations this Friday which are expected to start from Chisitu ground all the way to the District Commissioner’s office where a petition will be delivered.

After awarded ago ahead from the council, the grouping through Kalindo, says everything is set for the payerepayere demonstrations.

“As we are remaining with few hours to Friday 27th January, I want to confirm that the Payerepayere demonstrations are on and the preparations are done. We are not afraid and everyone planning to attend the demonstrations should be assured that no one will intimidate them, this is our nation,” said Kalindo.

further Kalindo says, he is aware of information that government is planning to frustrate the demonstrations by imposing some restrictions and mobilizing people to attend a tree planting ceremony on the same day which he described as undemocratic.

“Malawi is a democratic nation. So, there are no laws that restrain people from demonstrating and what is being planned is nonsense. They are saying people from other districts should not participate in the demonstrations which is not possible, we are one.

“You have organized a tree planting ceremony here in Mulanje just to frustrate the demonstrations. We have known all your plans but we are saying the demonstrations are on tomorrow, Friday 27th January, 2023,” said Kalindo.

Notable faces to join the grouping in the demonstration are as of prophet David Mbewe of Freedom of Worship And Economic Liberation (Fowel), Ben Longwe, Redson Munlo, Happy Gondwe, Billy Banda and Richard Mphepo.
