Leader for a grouping known as Concerned Citizens, Bon Kalindo, has urged civil society organisations, faith and opposition political party leaders to allow their followers to patronize the mass demonstrations dubbed Payerepayere which the grouping is organising.

Kalindo made the call in a statement on Tuesday.

The statement was released barely three days before the expiry of a 10-day ultimatum which the grouping gave President Lazarus Chakwera to address Malawians on challenges the country is facing or step down as president.

Kalindo said the planned mass demonstrations will begin with districts of Mulanje, Chikwawa, Mwanza, Blantyre, Ntcheu, Balaka and Mangochi on dates to be announced.
