She was speaking at Blantyre Civic Offices on Wednesday when she joined thousands of women in a march held to protest against sexists remarks thrown on Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) Chairperson Justice Jane Ansah.

“We wanted our voices to be heard. The insults Jane Ansah has endured are unjustifiable and we feel we have watched from a distance long enough. From now onwards, we say no more violence against women,” said Navitcha.

The march’s chief organiser Seodi White said  Ansah has built her reputation for about two decades: “And some people cannot just take down that simply because  they don't want to accept that they lost elections. What we want from now is peace and that Jane Ansah must be left alone as the courts are still hearing the election case.”

Receiving the petition, director of administration at the Blantyre City Council, Lyton Nkate, thanked the mammoth gathering for conducting themselves in a peaceful manner.

“I have received this petition. I am just a vessel but I can assure you that it will reach the relevant authorities,” said Nkate.

Participating in the Pro-Jane Ansah solidarity march were the former first deputy Speaker of Parliament, Esther Mcheka Chilenje, Presidential advisor on Women Affairs Greseldar Jeffrey, rights activist Carloline  Mvalo and other female members of parliament.
