Authorities Hault Rastas’ Demonstrations: ‘We Will Fight On’

Authorities in Zomba City have asked Rastafarians to suspend their planed demonstrations until further “means of conflict resolution or contact and dialogue were explored”.

Two Rastafarian movements, the Oppressed Rastas and Black Liberation Force wanted to take to the streets on Monday, December 16, in protest of the killing of one of their members Jelemaya Maluwa in Salima a week ago and also to demand reduction of cannabis cultivation license fee, which is currently at K10million.
