Activists, students and other protesters joined Malawi’s ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) legislator Bon Kalindo in the streets of the capital, Lilongwe on Thursday, June 23 to demonstrate against albino killings.
The legislator, human rights activists and other concerned citizens were protesting against continued abductions and killings of people with people with albinism.
The protests came after at least 19 albinos had been killed in Malawi since 2014.
The legislator, who was a popular stage and TV comedian accused some unnamed politicians of being part of the albino hunters’ syndicate, hence their failure to act decisively.
Kalindo, announced that he would parade naked but during the march, he simply wore a small red short, a red vest, a red scarf and red cap.
