Malawi Should Consider Job Creation To Protect Its Youth From Future Xenophobic Violence- Kalindo

Hon Bon Kalindo
Mulanje South legislature, Honorable Bon Elias Kalindo says xenophobic attacks against African immigrants in South Africa should serve as a wake up call to Malawi government on the need to addres unemployment amongthe youth.


Kalindo remarks comes as he joins in solidarity with the rest of concerned Malawians in condemning bloody attacks against foreign African nationals by South African citizens on the root that the immigrants have taken up their jobs.

Kalindo on Tuesday joined the march from Parliament building to Kang'ombe house in city centre to South African embassy to present petition calling the rainbow nation to immediately halt the ongoing violence against fellow Africans and was dressed in black a symbol of mourning and carried national flag in the front of the protesters.


In an interview, the Parliamentarian has urged government to consider job creation as the remedy to protect its citizens from being victims of Xenophobia in South Africa or any other country in future. He said as Malawi condemns South Africa there is need also to address the unemployment problem in the country so that youth do not flock to South Africa.


“The word to government is that it should look beyond xenophobia, because if we are not creating job opportunities to our people surely we are going to continue experience more problems and see more victims from Malawi whenever such forms of violence errupts."


The Mulanje South parliamentarian says will speak in National Assembly on this issue and matters relating to the ongoing violence in South Africa.


Hon. Kalindo has also condemned the South Africa violence “As a Malawian I needed to join this demonstration to show our solidarity and anger to the rest of African countries that what is happening in South Africa is very bad and we cannot support it” he said, “We condemn what is happening in South Africa”


“We are all Africans we don’t have to kill each other” appealed Hon Kalindo
