…Thyolo and Mulanje vow to fight on!
Police in Thyolo on Friday detained for 20 minutes the Centre for Democracy and Economic Development Initiatives (CDEDI) executive director, Sylvester Namiwa, just as the activist was about to address landless people at Khonjeni in Thyolo.
Namiwa was, however, released unconditionally after being interrogated over his involvement in the land issues concerning the people of Thyolo and Mulanje and the estate owners.
The activist confirmed the development in an interview from Thyolo on Sunday.
