Kamuzu Takes On Jehovah's Witnesses

Jehovah's Witnesses were banned during the one party rule of Kamuzu Banda in Malawi. Here Kamuzu speaks about the Jehovah's witnesses in his own words.

[@jimmyngwira6513]

I thought Kamuzu was wise and intelligent but this speech proves him otherwise.

[@kasaukephiri635]

He persecuted Jehovah's witness Christians,,,, but sadly where is he now🤷🤷🤷🤷🤷

[@Byayerayera]

Kamuzu did not persecute the JW. As to where he is now, he died of old age, he lived his purpose which is normal for all mortals

[@williamjarrell3541]

Banda was a tyrant. I read the Amnesty International report on human rights under his government. Persecuting JWs was only a small part of his tyranny. This speech is a distortion of what he really intended. He wanted a totalitarian uniformity without any dissent. The problem with the JWs and others was being forced to join the only political party in Malawi - his political party. Even the Soviet Union at its height of power under Stalin did not make party membership mandatory. It may not have tolerated dissent but it didn't go as far as Banda. Under his reign a journalist could go to jail for not using his official title "Life President."

As he lie in his grave today, the Witnesses are flourishing and enjoying true worship. He was jus too little to silence them.

[@paxinahmunengo3832]

Jehovah's witnesses we are real followers of Jesus after hearing this l feel proud to be one of Jehovah's witnesses Jesus said my true follower will face trials and tribulations and my fellow brothers and sisters really they face trials and tribulations but Jehovah himself was really helping them we will face More trials and tribulations m so happy to see this and this made me to really strethen my faith that m in a right religious

[@kudakwashekanyongo5297]

Thank you Kamuzu for correctly pronouncing them as Jehovah's Witnesses, but l am happy you learnt a lot from these people for their belief in one God, Jehovah.Young Pioneers have disappeared but Jah keeps these peace loving people alive. Taxes they pay, Gvt is there to protect its citizens despite their religion and affiliating to a political party should, from a sane man, be optional rather a law. As we speak JWs are there in Malawi, but Kamuzu is sleeping in his grave. The bottom line is, Jehovah, the God behind the name did and will see that justice is done.There being Satan's Witnesses,as he alludes, time will tell. RIP Hastings.

[@josephchembezi168]

I don't know if everything that was said by Ngwazi about Jehovah's Witness was true. But i liked the part where he is referring to the need to recognize government, pay taxes etc. It doesn't matter to which religious affiliation one is, we all need government services in one way or another. Security, health care, transportation etc. What i don't like is the effect this speech had on our brothers and sister of Jehovah's Witness. People were victimized, others even killed.

Jehovah's witnesses pay taxes we refuse buying party card

[@RichardMkandawire-fr1yp]

Kamuzu was wiser . How can't pay tax while you living in the world where each and everyone pays taxes. Even Jesus christ pays tax . He correct them wisely.

[@princeamissah4302]

Jehovahs witnesses are known worldwide as very honest when it comes to payment of taxes. Dont be ignorant and side with a tyrant

[@wanangwachunga9071]

He did not die a painful death he died at ripe age and what he was saying about paying tax it's true even the bible encourages believers to do so

[@Naphy-ym1xm]

​@@wanangwachunga9071Jehovah's witnesses refused to buy MCP party cards which implied that they could be MCP members, they didn't refuse to pay tax, these are two different things

[@mixonnkhoma9711]

That man wasn't Malawian y couldn't he speak local lagauge?

[@Spark916916]

mick nkhoma Hey I think I will be the next president. I don't even speak the language.. LOL LOL

[@ItmeFatima]

there was documentation at the Malawi Library, that the "Kamuzu" Banda was born in the United States in the south. Went to school in Europe. During the late 50s to early 60s they needed someone to govern Nyasaland. and the 'Real" Banda was killed. You can here the President's accent is nothing more tthan American.

[@ishmaelchiponda5471]

#it's Me that's totally lie, there isn't evidence what you are talking about. kamuzu stayed in U.S for 40years .he left Malawi when he was 12years.you people stop talking things which you don't know.

[@eddingsmbeleko707]

mick nkhoma you should ask kanyama Chiumya he was a real Malawian

[@elizabethjere2007]

mick nkhoma, I totally agree with you.

Not even one person can be a witness of God

[@RobertoGinsburg]

You CONFUSE "be a witness" (someone who bring a Testimony of God) with be a "OCULAR Witness of God".

[@Extratremendouszeus]

Don't use proverbs .in any sense ,God has no witness...everyone believes in Him by seeing his creation.

[@Byayerayera]

Only when you read your Bibles then you would understand that Kamuzu was in line with Gods Word more especially where God mandated us to give to Ceasar his dues meaning that nobody is above the law, no matter who you are, you must pay your taxes

[@Naphy-ym1xm]

To ceasar you give yes, Jehovah's witnesses do pay taxes and follow the Law, they just refused to be party members by then

[@alickchibanthowa2493]

This is the foolish part of Kamuzu Banda

[@Littlefair7]

Malawians only appreciate your goodness when you're no more, they hated Bingu when he was alive, now they appreciate him when he is no more mmmmm wake up Malawi! wake up! you need a spiritual hand in your eyes so you can wake up and open your eyes ha!

[@blazeafrica6429]

Kamuzu he thought God doesn't exist because he was rich and powerful so let him do all that again in hello now

[@Byayerayera]

Lies!!!!! Listen to that speech carefully before making foolish and baseless assumptions. Everyone who lived under his reign would attest to that Kamuzu believed in God. He attended church and read from the Bible on special occasions. JW was the only church that he disliked because of their beliefs.

[@canisiuschisenga6197]

Was he gay?

[@007dredger]

The man knew what he was talking about

[@shabirvadalia148]

Wise words from a decent man

[@Spark916916]

shabir vadalia Yes indeed I remember when I visited Malawi in the 90s I was told the secret meeting of CCAP were disguise as Jehova witness. I remember my dad told me, in order to get an education he would say he was a 7 day Adventist knowingly he was muslim. Wise man. I miss Kamuzu. I hear the county has gone down.

[@mwai72]

+Spark916916 There were a lot of non-Adventist students that went to Adventist schools...they were only asked to go to all school and church functions while they were students...I don't think one had to lie to be admitted in school...but may be that's cause I was one already.

[@RobertoGinsburg]

THE RAPE OF PREGNANT WOMEN?

[@Super-om8cm]

Roberto Ginsburg what are you talking about? Also, is raping pregnant women worse than regular, everyday rape? Why am I responding years later. Christ I need a drink.

[@Byayerayera]

@@Spark916916 I was born and grew up under his regime. Never never did I hear of such

[@stevendluli328]

Zomveka ndithu !!!!

[@gersommalama]

This idiot as others prefer to call him still remains the best leader Malawi has ever had. As for this speech. To a balanced minded person I see nothing wrong with it. He said the truth. If you don`t pay tax you can not expect services from Government. For Christians that would be stealing. Are the Witnesses enjoying true worshipping or free worshipping. Judgement is for the LORD

[@blacksunshine1661]

You have the evidence that they weren't paying taxes. Is that the reason this man persecuted these people? I suppose we can except Hitler's charges against the Jews too. As for Malawi--You have a country, one party, you must have a party card; what do taxes have to do with that? Banda is dead, what about you?

[@Byayerayera]

OMG i love this guy. He was the best we ever had. Keep resting well my President

[@richardwelliala223]

this was so amicable speech of kamuzu banda,however no one knows wat religion was him,..ha ha ha

[@Super-om8cm]

RICHARD WELLIALA He was Presbyterian.

[@johnkaitano5081]

kamuzu was satanist

[@freefever871]

I had a friend who was very bright in std 8 then in the mid 80s he got selected to Mzuzu Government Sec School - national secondary school but he did not go to secondary school because he was a JW. he did not want to buy a party card. Today i feel bad when i meet him he is just one of the people doing some unskilled work in town. he would have a doctor, a lawyer and accountant by now. what sort of religion is that then? very poor religion

[@sosola761]
