Africa-Press – Malawi. When you start a fight you must be ready to fight on and finish that fight to the end. Often times when you provoke a fight you must be prepared to get bruised as well, and face all the consequences that come with it.
The front page of Malawi News on Sunday, December 9, 2023 has carried an interesting headline in which the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) has ordered Grezelder Jeffrey to declare party funds. This battle is getting interesting, serious and has gone to another level. Another gear has been engaged.
Fast backwards, You may remember very well that at some point, Grezelder Jeffrey was given DPP party materials to distribute during the 2019 campaign and presidential election. Among those materials to be distributed were okay regalia and bicycles. As the campaign has come to a close, something sinister happened at the backyard house where the Secretary General Grezelder was holding an indoor meeting. You must remember that this was at a time when campaign had been closed and we were about to vote.
Some people mobilized themselves and stormed where Grezelder Jeffrey and other DPP members were meeting to discuss whatever it was that they were brainstorming. The people who mobilized themselves were suspicious that perhaps DPP was planning to rig elections.
When the suspicious angry mob of people broke into her backyard fence, Grezelder and other DPP members escaped to save their lives. What came out as a surprise on that day is that the backyard was full of DPP bicycles which had not been distributed to the intended party members. So you can see the short sightedness of Grezelder, she kept things which were not hers but meant for distribution.
Therefore, the order that has come out today that Grezelder must declare party funds is not a surprise to me. It appears to me that apart from being rude to her party President, she is also not financially disciplined. If she was financially disciplined, how come she kept hundreds of bicycles at the backyard of her house in 2019? That is reason enough for me to connect that she has not been loyal and honest to her own party for quite long but the party leadership ignored this with the hope that she would change and improve her character.
The present situation is dangerous for the Secretary General and could mark the end of grey political career. The battle line has finally been drawn and it’s time to see casualties in this fracas. It is unfortunate that Grezelder Jeffrey has drawn herself into all this mess today just because of some men with big tummies because her downfall is now certain. The direction in which this battle is taking reminds me of Israel versus Hamas in Gaza.
The future political career of the troubled Secretary General Grezelder Jeffrey is bleak and in big trouble as she’s likely to lose this battle. The outbursts against her party President won’t help her in any way but defeat and trouble is prominent and forth coming. However, the DPP must move forward and start organizing itself, so it will not allow to be dragged by few individuals who are always arguing or getting court orders restraining the party leadership from making decisions.
In conclusion, a battle is never won by the two fighting sides but one must come out victorious but the price in every fight must always be paid. You don’t win fights by accident but you must take irritate yourself very well for it.
However, There’s this saying: “a student cannot be better than his teacher” and will never be. The moment you choose to display your defiance and arrogance to your own master, it be at school or karate class, just know that you have invited tough times for yourself. Don’t cross the bridge until you get there.
Indeed, Grezelder Jeffrey has landed herself into bigger trouble than she thought. This fight is getting hotter than what Grezelder thought when she started all this. My only advice to the Secretary General is “Stand up to the end of this battle but get ready to be bruised”.
