Zambia is set to take action against its main opposition leader for allegedly causing political instability in neighbouring Malawi ahead of that country’s general elections, state radio said Friday.
Defence Minister George Mpombo assured the Malawian government that Lusaka would deal with opposition leader Michael Sata, who was recently deported from Malawi for allegedly trying to help organise opposition in that country.
“The Zambian government will ensure that political bandits are not allowed to transfer their mischief into Malawi,” Mpombo was quoted as having said by the state-run Zambia National Broadcasting Corporation.
The Malawian government is believed to have formally complained to Zambia about Sata during the joint permanent commission on defence and security meeting in Lusaka this week.
“We will not allow Malawi’s sovereignty to be undermined. We will deal with such characters firmly and in clear terms,” Mpombo was quoted as saying.
Sata denied the accusations and has since sued the Malawian government over his deportation. –Sapa-AFP

Pro-Life Workshop to Fight Growing 'Culture of Death'
Mangochi
Pro-Life Malawi will hold a workshop at Venite Cottage in Mangochi Diocese, May 24 to 27.
"The aim of the training is to fight against the culture of death that is promoted by both our Ministry of Health and non-governmental organizations," the director of Pro-Life Malawi, Harris Kachaso MJ, told CISA yesterday.
Kachaso said the rate of aborted children had increased in Malawi, a southern African nation of 12.6 million people. "We aim also at fighting against promotion of sex education in schools where parents are not consulted on the curriculum."
Mr Kachaso said the church was concerned about increased condom use in the country. Condoms were even being given out to school children as presents during competitions sponsored by certain NGOs, he said.
"We condemn the promotion of contraceptives for women and young girls, abortion, condom promotion on radio and homosexuality in our prisons here in Malawi," he said.
