THE CHASOWA MYSTERY

It’s been a dozen of months since the tragic slaughter of one dubbed youth activist in the aftermath of his life, Robert Chasowa, a student of the University of Malawi’s Polytechnic.

Young as he was, the young man is best placed to articulate the hows, whats and whys surrounding his death. The rest of what we hear is either distorted or compromised truths, no wonder, despite presidential interventions, information to solve the Chasowa demise
mystery still looks reluctantly uncomposed.

However, this reluctance is not a surprise since politics is involved. By now, the country should have known the truth about late Chasowa but alas, the revelation is taking longer than forever at the pace it is now. 

Is the nation sleeping on the truth? Probably we cannot rule out the probability of applying political tactics and timing in readiness of waking up and disclosing the Chasowa death puzzle.
Typical of indigenous politicians, taking advantage of every situation to ‘kokela’ i.e. advance their political mileage.

Fellow youth, the death of Chasowa ought to be a tangible reflective reality in our lives. So much pros and cons are attached but we have to be cautiously objective as we carry out that reflection. Among other things: be careful when dealing with ‘politicians’ or indulging in ‘politics’, be transparent in such dealings if anything (with no underground elements attached), be vigilant in your cause with utmost determination, focus and will power bearing in mind that
short-cuts to glory cut the glory short at times…so much more could possibly flow in addition, subtraction, division or indeed multiplication of such elements.

To the family of Chasowa: behold, your beloved son did not die in vain, his blood will continue haunting his butchers until justice prevails (no matter how long it takes –with or without politics).
Rest in peace brother Robert Chasowa!
