Chaos in Dedza as villagers attack Chief, destroy property

In Dedza, havoc erupted at Kapesi village as villagers vandalized property of a traditional leader, Group Village Headman Kapesi, whose authority they no longer respect.

According to the eyewitnesses the act appears premeditated as villagers woke each other up using a bell before the attack.

The incident forced the police in the district to rush to the scene (Kapesi village) where the villagers have vandalized property.

The villagers later hit the road headed for Dedza Police Station which they allegedly planned to vandalize too.

Dedza Police spokesperson, Edward Kabango, says the police had advance intelligence of the mob intention and prevented the act by mounting barricades.

As a result, the angry villagers this morning blocked roads and run riot at the district headquarters. One person has since been arrested.

The people want GVH Kapesi dethroned for what they claim is maladministration of their affairs.
