MALAWI?S main opposition leader Gwanda Chakuamba has accused the government of fabricating a coup plot as an excuse to crack down on political opponents. Intelligence reports gathered by the opposition showed the government fingered Sudi Sulaimana and Colvin Kaumira in the phony coup plot to implicate the opposition, Chakuamba said. The two were among nine people arrested at the weekend, on charges that they planned to attack state radio and television stations and march on presidential residence Sanjika Palace, on the outskirts of Blantyre. – AFP
