Am Saddened What is Happening in Lilongwe

[Fryson Chodzi]

Collegues,

I am saddened with the anarchy in Lilongwe. I am so deeply disturbed with the fact that the government, the police seem to be powerless to protect innocent citizen especially the females from the vendors proughing the streets of Lilongwe. As a youth rights activities, a gender activist, a human rights believer and above all a person believing in freedom as essential for any developed nation, the acts of vendors in Lilongwe should and can not go unpunished.

I can't stand aside watching my sisters, our girlfriends, our wives, our mothers going through the trauma of the streets of Lilongwe. Something has to be done and should be done. Can we start thinking of what has to be done. A girl power demonstration against vendors, police and prompt government to take action is an option, we can also launch a week long boycott campaign for vendors merchandise by mobilizing all women and girls not to buy from vendors for one week. Vendors needs the girls more than vice-versa.

What are your  thoughts.

Dear Fryson,   While I totally agree with you on the condemnation of street vendors in Lilongwe, I feel the first thing you could have done is to explain briefly what is happening, what the vendors are doing, to enable cridoc colleaugues understand the situation. I believe very few are listening to the radio right now.   I really support your idea   Thank you     Nelson Baziwelo Zakeyu Drug Fight Malawi  --- On Tue, 17/1/12, Fryson Chodzi <fch...@yahoo.com> wrote:

Dear Fryson,

 

Thanks for your email.

 

However, it would be important if you can shed more light on what is happening. Some of us seem to be in the dark about the development as we have not yet listened to any radio.

 

Regards,

Dear Fyson

It is indeed painful to watch such barbaric behavior of the vendors particularly when its happening before the police service with all the mandate to bring order and sanity in the country.  However if nothing is done many women will continue to experience violations in alarming numbers and no doubt new forms of violence may keep on emerging that may have a terrible multiplier effect. We hope Lilongwe will stand up and defeat this evil.

Happy Nu Year to All!!!!!!

Fryson,   thanks for the suggestions and of course kick-starting the process. I also passed by the town in the afternoon and only to hear shouts and all sorts of insults but could not connect what was going on.   I agree with you to launch the campaign and request all women/girls to stay away from these stupid barbaric demons and see if they can sell anything and get a coin. Some of us men do not buy from them its the same women and girls they are abusing and harrasing. They have taken the law into their hands and thinks they are over and above the law.   I feel the Ministry of Gender should also seriously attend to this issue together with NGO GCN,HRCC, CSEC etc     Regards.   Prophet Lucky

I got a call from my wife that things were bad in LL. We need to be behind women, girls etc. They deserve respect and dignity. Women's security is paramount in development. How would they effectively participate in develoment if their personal security, dignity  and or respect is being threatened by vendors? Lets organise a demonstration or press conference condemning the act.

Lets join in condeming this protecting women must be paramount.

This is unacceptable and must be stopped. But someone sent me this email:

Undule et al,

That is a good campaign that should be supported by all well meaning Malawians!

I however thought these messages should be inclusive and gender sensitive from the word go. The way the message below has been drafted seems to suggest this is a woman's struggle alone and that men can only help. I beg beg to differ, in that this is a national concern not only for women but even men. Surely i do not believe any upright man can condone such abuses!

"LELO N'KUGULE, MAWA UNDIVULE?" Campaign; has taken off. All  Malawians have, with effect from 18 January 2012, agreed to boycott buying from all male Vendors for over a month or until they apologize for the barbaric behavior they displayed in the City of Lilongwe on 17 January 2012. 

I hope there will indeed be march against this practices, a strong statement has to be sent out. Lets not leave this campaign to the women only we are all equally concerned!

Dear Colleagues,

It is sad to learn about this retrogressive development, are we going back to 20years ago, unbelievable, unfortunately am away from home, am in Addis Ababa and will return later in the week. I totally agree with those that are proposing a demo against these primitive thinking people, what is their agenda and what they want to achieve in the process.

Undule et al,

That is a good campaign that should be supported by all well meaning Malawians!

I however thought these messages should be inclusive and gender sensitive from the word go. The way the message below has been drafted seems to suggest this is a woman's struggle alone and that men can only help. I beg beg to differ, in that this is a national concern not only for women but even men. Surely i do not believe any upright man can condone such abuses!

"LELO N'KUGULE, MAWA UNDIVULE?" Campaign; has taken off. All  Malawians have, with effect from 18 January 2012, agreed to boycott buying from all male Vendors for over a month or until they apologize for the barbaric behavior they displayed in the City of Lilongwe on 17 January 2012. 

I hope there will indeed be march against this practices, a strong statement has to be sent out. Lets not leave this campaign to the women only we are all equally concerned!

Colleagues,   Indeed it is saddening to see that we are going back 20 years in our levels of thinking and doing things. In this modern World, I wonder how people could do such things to our noble women, mothers, sisters and wives. How would they themselves feel seeing their mothers, wives, sisters, girlfriends etc being undressed by ill mannered and disgruntled people? Would they just watch and let them do that? We need action.   Friends from Mzuzu and Blantyre, how are things there. --- On Wed, 18/1/12, Emma Kaliya <emmak...@yahoo.co.uk> wrote:

Colleagues,

Blantyre is stable no noise as of now. But walking through the streets like market street in Limbe you could hear vendors commenting on what is happening in LL in a debate kind of others for it and others against it.

But if the trend continue like that with updates in some radio stations flowing, others may be tempted to start some noise.

But there is peace as of now.

Kalako at al

 

The campaign LELO MKUGULE MAWA UNDIVULE   is a nice initiative and we should all support it. but can we go beyond the internet and messages. we need to reach out to as many people (women, girls, males inclusive) for a massive boycot of vendors merchandise for a given period of time. We should note that 90%+ customers of vendors are the very same women thay are abusing.

 

I don't think and entirey agree that the issues here are to do with women dressing but rather the long list of abuses that women suffer all the times. On 20 july a female police officer was stripped naked (not man). Today its the trousers, tomorrow they will still find another reason to abuse our women. Everyday, our women suffer verbal abuse from these vendors and it seems we are not noticing. It looks like that men all find pleasure in abusing women.

 

While vendors are denying that its not them, but indicators show that in Lilongwe they are the reason why. Since forty of their collegues awere arrested, they have been threatening to deal with the government and during the course of the undressing women they were heard saying as long as their collegued are behind bars, they will continue undressing and abusing women. Therefore they are to blame or they vendors should have done something.

 

My contribution to the jsut launched camapign is that, lets time it for impact, produce a lot of materials (fliers, radio, TV programmes, press conferences, massive mobilization) to shun from buying from vendors. Enough is enough. and lets not limti the messages to trousers but to long list of abuses that women have long suffered at the hands of the vendors.

This is the time the women said no to DANCING at POLITICAL rallies. I remember the just past MULHAKHO WA ALHOMWE. Did you see the semi naked women parading semi-naked in front of the first citizen. What did we do? NOTHING? Are we holier than the vendors in as far as undressing our female folks? May be it is OK if the children and women undress in-front of the big guys?

Compatriots,

 

I am sensing that we seem to be heading for a campaigned that has not been well thought through and planned.  I still have many questions unanswered on this matter although it is obviously a very important and urgent matter.  To begin with, are we really confident that we have understood the root causes of these barbaric acts and ready to face vendors?  Have we adequately engaged the vending community on the matter and are convinced that these are the culprits?  Do we really think that parading our women on the streets under police escort (as I have heard from other quarters) is the best approach is solving the problem?  What will happen after the march, will police escort each participating woman to their home?  Really?

 

For some reason, I have been out of news lately therefore my views could be wrong, barbaric or simply too late in coming.  But sensing from the few e-mails I have read and radio interviews I have listened to, it seems that the civil society is not yet organized on this matter although the intention is good.  Akuluakulu, lero lomwe adadetsa m’nthengu.  Komanso, gona mkuphe sali patali.  All we need are a few more days for planning, then we act. Not so?

 

Why can’t we discuss this matter first, and act with confidence after we get support from the grassroots? Remember, masses are fast losing trust in us because we are very fast communicating lack proper coordination and planning to them. We seem to always act on impulse rather than reason.  We seem to be too quick to make decisions – leaving out the people on the ground.

 

Don’t forget that government went to Malangalanga streets after the 20 July incidents and some of us saw that they had missed the point by thinking that promising loans to vendors would appease them.  I immediately made my point known to some senior government officials but I think it was too late since speeches had already been made.  My view was that they needed to analyse the matter and arrive at tangible solutions to the real problems that street people are facing.  And you remember what happened two weeks ago on the same street?  I don’t live in Lilongwe but I hear the vendors have now grown roots and can’t be pushed.   Do we want to repeat this mistake??? Really???

 

History shows that streets, worldwide, are NOT easy places to handle especially when kwachas are few.  Do we remember that Hitler was a call-boy when Germany  (Weimar Republic that lasted in 1933) was weak and poor? Do we remember that the Arab riots started in Tunisian streets by a young-man who was angry and hopeless from unemployment?  Have we really understood the root to Malangalanga events???  If you have, fine.  BUT, I am not ashamed to declare that I have NOT.

 

I support you, but I am really concerned about the ABSENCE of a plan on the matter.  If we have a plan, who developed it and where is it? If we really don’t have it then we are simply driving our country into an abyss – one day we will wish we had done better. Failing to plan is simply planning to fail.  We are just taking chances.

 

Once again, I personally support the campaign BUT chances are high that we will fail Malawians again.  I can already sense anger and “partisanship” in the campaign name.  Should we really take such an anger-packed campaign to an equally angry people on the street?  I feel that Malawi already has enough problems right now, let’s not create another one by simply failing to understand issues and plan properly. All we need are a few days.  Just a few more days - and I am passionate about this!

 

This is just my humble opinion.  Let others say what they think.  As I said, I have been out of news lately – forgive my ignorance if the matters I am raising here don’t make sense to the commonwealth on this forum. I just feel that my opinion should be shared to my countrymen. Cry My Beloved Country! Think twice on this serious matter.

 

Good night,

 

Kent

[Desmond Mhango]

Sad ineeed, it feels out of place to believe the undressing of women happened. This is criminal than it would stand with notions of culture we have disliked together. People shared their values so thay believed in a way of life. Now the Malawi society sees the problems associated with certain cultural norms.

I trust that we all share strong opinion in condemning the acts of public undressing of women whatever the intention. Let us imagine that the undressed was their mother or sister or even aunt. How would perpetrators feel their sight.
Desmond

Colleagues,

It appears that the battle line is drawn between one group of vendors on one
hand and Police, Lilongwe City Council and another group of vendors on the
other. Are civil society playing a role in this matter or we will wait for
the battle to ensue and then jump into a crisis - to douse the fire?

My I propose that our leaders should take this matter seriously before the
street battles ensue. Prevention is better than cure. We will look wise to
prevent the worse to happen in this scenario. Talking after wrongs have
been is nothing but a display of cowardice.

May I propose that in the short term CSOs in Lilongwe, like Mkamwini Wanga
Lucky Crown Mbewe's, Frackson Chodzi's youth movements, etc and the National
Youth Council, move into the street and civic educate the adamant vendors on
the benefits of trading in designated areas. They could also work with the
Lilongwe City Council and the Police to ensure that the rights of the youth
are protected as they implement this clean-up campaign. My fear is that we
could be endangering the lives of innocent youth and women further should
this exercise go abortive.

It's a great exercise but we need to make sure that life is not lost in the
process of implementing it. Left alone the Police will use live bullets when
cornered. We have lives of young people to protect here. My heart also
goes to the innocent women and girls who might be hurt as a result of this
exercise. Can women groups participate in this exercise as well?

Good day,

Kent

[Fryson Chodzi]

Hie Kent,

I think this is a brilliant idea. Abusa, can we meet in the afternoon and look at this issue. I know you are at crossroads and many civil society members are can you start talking

CSOs

1. Meet the City Council and help them understand that using force will create more challenges

2. Engage Vendors in a movement that will provide education on rights and responsibilities

3. Work with the council to develop strategies of combating crime and working with vendors better

Kent, I had initially introduced the idea of us meeting with city assembly, police and the vendors themselves. This come as a result of my engagement with market committee. I did discuss of this with the CEO of Lilongwe city assembly and he agreed with me on the wY forward that they will facilitate in coming up with the said meeting. However, to my dismay, they had overlooked us and went ahead and made decisions to vacate the vendors out of town without critical engagement and our involvement. I found this deplorable and stayed put but I can smell danger in all this. I thus wonder what will happen and how we would best resolve the matters.

Kind regards,

MacDonald

MacBain,

Unless this process becomes as inclusive as possible, I really see a lot more co motion than we have currently and or previously observed. You are right indeed and that was the reasoning behind my engagement with the city chief.

Thanks,

MacDonald

Thanks MacDonald. However, it is critical that WE SHOULD NEVER GIVE UP. Lives of poor women and children are at risk while these running battles continue. Let us have a caucus while I am Lilongwe and discuss the situation

Colleagues,

Apart from the mistakes we observe that are made by the Council and Vendors, is there also a way that we can do to avoid a repeat of political podium enthusiasm that lead to unreasonable announcements?

I believe vendors would have not gone all this far if it were not for that. Politicians should go beyond political mileage if we are really to sustain this development.

 Frackson,

 

Unfortunately, I delegated my participation.  Please pick it up and get the crossroads meeting talking about it.  We will support you electronically.

Let's talk about this at break time 

Sent from my iPad

[Kent Mphepo]

Oh! That’s great, maybe it’s now a matter of having a collective voice from a wider circle.  Can the CSOs discuss the strategy during the CSO meeting at Crossroads today?  Unfortunately, I delegated so I can’t be part of the discussion.

 

BUT this should get us thinking about the long-term plans for our youth.  Since the MYP disappeared we, as a nation, have not thought about important section of our population.  We learnt the MYP concept from Ghana in the 60s, abused it, dismantled it and forgot about the youth altogether.  Ghanaians have maintained the “MYP” concept even after the 1990 Velvet Revolution - that contributed enormously to the democratic Africa in the early 1990s.  Are we surprised that Ghana will not need AID in 10-15 years time?? The youth have remained part of the national economy despite the “freedoms” we are all preaching about sometimes wrongly.  In my view YEDF or whatever we call it is nothing but “political pocket money” for DPP politicians. 

 

My prayer is that youth issues must be on the campaign trail for the 2014 elections.  Candidates or parties who are empty on youth development strategies should not be given a gate pass to Capital Hill. 

 

Of course I don’t want to be seen as if I am advocating for “Youth Presidential or Parliamentary Candidates” because I see this thinking as very erroneous  because you don’t have to be a youth for you to articulate youth issues.  History has proved that bad or good leaders come from any age group.  I am talking of candidates who understanding the youth world – thank God if we have some youth who understanding their own world – let’s encourage them to run for office!

 

Good day

 

Kent
