[Civsoc-mw] HEROES OF OCTOBER 1967 MWANZA ‘WAR'

[Paliani]

A Tribute to the Unsung heroes

This month of October, exactly marks 50 years after the ‘war’ in Mwanza between Malawi’ security forces on one front and an armed group of 16 under the umbrella of Ufulu Umodzi Malawi Party (UUMA) led by Malawi’s former Home Affairs Minister Yatuta Chisiza on the opposite front.
 
It was during this ‘war’ that Yatuta Chisiza and his lieutenant Lutengano Mwahimba were shot dead while 5 of their compatriots escaped successfully to Zambia as one committed suicide when 8 had been captured alive, later tried at the high court in Blantyre, hanged (except one among them who became a state witness) and finally buried in unmarked graves in Zomba in 1969.
