SOME NO-NONSENSE Vendors thursday 1/19 morning ripped off clothes from almost 11 women, allegedly ordered by some politicians to enforce Malawian culture.
The whole saga started as vendors were getting prepared to go marching for the release of their colleagues who had been detained by the police on earlier clashes between the vendors and city council officials on trading places. To their disappointment, the police were fully prepared for them at the station, so they decided to change the motive. But when asked if they were doing the right alternative, one of the vendors who only identified himself as Jailosi told Face Of Malawi that “the ones undressing women are not vendors as they claim, he continued by saying they are just a bunch of thugs probably from Mchesi and Kawale. We the real vendors cannot do such a disgusting thing which as an abomination to our culture as it is as good as undressing you own mom, aunt, sister. It’s very unfortunate that we have chosen to enforce the culture in such a disgusting way…”
Commenting on the same another ‘vendor’ claimed that they got the message from the President that the constitution bans women from dressing in trousers and miniskirts. But contrary to that Lawyer Wapona Kita of Ralph and Arnold Associates posted on his Facebook Wall that “The Decency in Dress Act, of 1973 which made it unlawful for women to wear trousers and miniskirts was repealed in 1993. We now have the 1994 Constitution which guarantees everyone freedom of expression which includes freedom of dress and right to privacy which includes the right to be left alone. Is it Satan using vendors and taking us back to 1973?”
There was drama at Constantini as some women rushed to hid when the so called vendors were undressing women dressed in trousers, leggings and mini-skirts. The vendors threatened the guard at Constantini that they will start looting the whole building if they do not release the women.
The drama continued as some young boys wearing ‘skinny jeans’ were among the victims of the undressing saga as they were stripped off their clothes claiming ‘skinny jeans’ are among other things that are influencing homosexuality in the country. During the time most women were stranded in shops and other places as they feared the unjustified attacks.
Shame!! I think zambian women shud learn frm this.
This is primitiveness at its worst! Who gave these idiots the authority to do this? All Zambian women should not go to work tommorrow. There must be a huge protest that Sata needs to hear. Let’s get rid of savages from our society!
Barbaric and uncivilised makakas! How dare u do such a thing?
Imwe ba tumfweko do you know the 5Ws and H in Journalism? You are supposed to adhere to the inverted pyramid in your story. As a person who reads the fiRst para or 2 in a story I was misled to think this was happening in Zambia because you don’t tell us that its happening in Malawi until the 10 sentence! In fact this story doesn’t say where this happened. The reader has to assume. Anyway perhaps Malawian women need the support of Zambian women but ba Tumfweko please employ an Editor who is qualified from Hone or UNZA
What are you a lecturer now?? so dry…
i support da exercise.. why should u ladies dress in such a way.. since you want to dress in a provokin manner will show u to what the provokin leads us to do..
malawi is still in fledgling to accept the couture of evolving ladies habiliments. it’s sad to see sisters disrobed in public. those villains must be incarcerated from society. lets hope this debauchery behavior won’t spread to kolima bus station.
ubupuba in africa ala…why do such things???wen is this behaviour gona stop?its a disgresss i wish i dnt go back!!!they shd go to school n gt sm education coz this is uacceptable!!bafikala mukwateko amano…
If Malawi was an animal, it would be a hyena. Very dull-ugly and solid-skill with tail always between its 2 black balls, covering its puffing.
cant see properly! Looks lyk a soldier in da pic assisting a lady to dress afta he accomplished da ” mission impossible”! Lol!
Y NOT JUST TALK TO THESE WOMEN NICELY THAN UNDRESSING THEM IN PUBLIC LIKE THIS!!! Dont support such cramp tho i dont support women when dress uselessly either !!!
Tumfweko please ubufi tebo. That picture is from West africa when sodiers stripped women protestors.I have a full video and amnest even condemed the act. Your story might be true but not the picture.Tha video was reliesed in 2009.

F**king imbeciles…….
One wonders if this is a vendor in the picture stripping the poor lady or a military personnel.******
Fools, they jst got xcited ova nothng!!
Despite the world spiraling out of control as we keep on doing what we want like women dressing as men and men dressing as women leading to homosexuality or lesbianism, we ought to leave judgement to God for he surely will judge according to the way you lived!
@ PHIRI! DID YOU READ THE STORY BEFORE WRITING YOUR COMMENT? THIS IS NOT HAPPENING IN ZAMBIA AND IT CAN NOT HAPPEN HERE IN ZAMBIA! SO TEKANYANI AMALUME, KODI MZADABWISA BANTU! MIND YOU MBUYA, DONT — USE THE NAME OF ST MICHAEL SATA IN VAIN!
Eeh you Tumfwekos, that picture is not from Malawi. Yes we had those satanic ugly episodes but soldiers were not anywhere near. In retaliation our women have launched “Lero nkugule, mawa undivule (Today I buy from you, 2moro u undress me)” campaign where they are saying no woman shld buy from male vendors for 30 dys. As I am writing now most of our wives, daughters, sisters, cousines, housemaids etc are in their shortest mini-skirts we have ever seen and out demonstrating against the dirty vendors.
It is amazing to read such in the 21st Century. So now you actually render a human being naked by the very act of dehumanizing??? How does that “teach them a lesson”? Sometimes I shudder to imagine that one of those vendors will fight his way to the leadership of a society and imagine how disastrous his poor society will be with his dictates!
@ Phiri that why we say that azenru onse anachoka ku mawa. so nishi kwashala fye ifi…………….
Musata nyoko foolish vendors burn in hell along side with your supporters for all eternity!!!
Sad story 2 ready. Nothing wrong with one wearing leggins. Look at the way the AmaZulu in RSA dress. What culture are they referring to? True african culture for our ladies is just a small piece of cloth only covering the P”””””y and not full length dress or skirt. Malawi,shame on you fools.
Iwe naiwe Munyero Pwete(ati dzina mwe!)Nalongosola vonse mu next blog. Belenga. Chitwa Nsombo! Is it true? Ba tumfweko don’t take us for a ride
@Phiri, you can’t blame tumfweko for your failure to read and comprehend before reacting, this is the problem we have in Zambian, most bloggers do not read, they just react, if you had taken time to finish the story you wouldn’t have condemned an innocent person in the name of Sata, he had nothing to do with women getting undressed in Malawi, but i understand the likes of you, two things moved you in the article, your hatred for Sata and the vendors
good!!!when you talk they dont listen dressing in the name of western culture has really taken hold our lost heritage good do it again funti nakedness ati ni fashion ladies at born and bred pornographying all over at ni fashion beat them strip them naked
kaili they want to be naked…
PEOPLE HAVE A CHOICE ON WHAT TO FEAST OR DRESS.WHO ARE YOU ‘STUPID IDIOT’ TO BE UNDRESSING THOSE WOMEN? WHAT IS YOUR INTEREST ANY WAY? LUST? ‘FYALAMIBIPILA NGA MULE ANGALA BA ‘STUPIDSESS’

Women in Malawi obeyed when the law did not allow them to dress in such a manner. Why should they now be treated like animals now.
Those supporting such acts should think twice.
Oppression of women has continues in various forms and the same babaric acts are seen even in homes, where women are despised and disgraced. Women, dont support such acts. Tomorrow it may be you. For as long as you are a woman never support such treatment.
Mwebantu vendor na uniform ya musoja or ni soja soja!!!!
Ata vaupuba ifipuba ifi! Leave the women alone ubufolo!
Such acts are always performed by men who are sexualy and economicaly frustrated.
Back to the stone age for these mother fathers…
Undress men with surging pants as well.
who eva has supportd this you are the biggest asshore of all times mwefupubamwe so nishi mufwafye nyele on ang wmen u see wearin leggings and jeans?motherfuckers u mite aswel go and fuck a dog a wmen can dress in what makes them comftable.nyele zabupuba pa last uzatomba naba noko jst bcoz she is in leggins.
That picture is not from Malawi, am sory!
Nmr Boss, u are stupid thats way there is a lot of rape cases these days, why should people be walking naked, why a lot of rubbish dressing, Zambia stupid married woman dress like idots, trousers, with short blourses, the same education did not mean to walk or dress like whites, some of the whites and born here, but do you see them clang in to Chitenges or Musis arite just to adopt the culture, or digging imbeba in the fields, stupid boss u are encouraging disorderly manners, teach to respect themselves, Nimwe fyaume fya fi puba, encouraging rubbish, mwandi undress those who wants to move named, i am for that, tulab disgraced sana especially nga balenina bus, why pull tops only to hide imisanga shabo.
That is happening in most African countries becouse of primitivity. Men leave the women alone if they want to be naked why should you worry.Women are doing that in order to attract men so that you can marry them or fall in love with them.The problem with men muli nanyele yamowa nakachasu.
prinmitive fools
These ladies jst enjoy nakedness, if they v heard of these things on earth, why cant they for thie betterment. I suggest they come to Luanshya & join the precious group which has come up to satisfy us young lovers who need big vulvas
