Breaking News!Bullets fire defender Hadji Wali for indiscipline<br><br>

By Staff Reporter


Reports reaching our news desk indicate that Nyasa Bullets has sacked one of its defenders Hadji Wali over disciplinary issues.

One of the club’s officials confided in 247 Malawi News but could not give out more details.

In September last year, Wali went missing from Nyasa Big Bullets camp just days before the team’s match against city rivals Mighty Mukuru Wanderers and went missing again towards the end of the just ended TNM Super League season.



The People’s team signed the player as a free agent after Silver Strikers axed him in 2021 after he went missing for close to 3 months.

He later joined Bullets and scored the only goal of the match on his debut against his former team in a Charity Shield.

Mutharika Stepson, Tadikira gets bail over Human trafficking offenses

By Staff Reporter

The High Court in Mzuzu has granted bail to Tadikila Mafubza, son to former first lady Getrude Mutharika who is accused of murder and aggravated human trafficking.

Making the bail ruling Judge Gladys Gondwe ordered Mafubza to pay K2million cash bond, provide two blood related sureties each bonded at K5million non-cash and that he should surrender his passport and all travel documents to police.



Mafubza has also been ordered not to interfere with investigations or contact any witnesses related to the case and report to National police headquarters every Tuesday of a fortnight.

Judge Gondwe said much as a murder case usually attracts a life sentence, any accused person has a right to bail.

She said, the court also found that the submissions provided by the state did not demonstrate the need to continue detaining the suspect.

One of the lawyers for Mafubza, Wapona Kita, said after all processes at the high court, his client will be taken out of Maula prison.

Army secondary school bows down to ministry, closes its doors over escalating cholera cases<br>

By Staff Reporter

Malawi Defense Force (MDF) owned, Army Secondary School has closed its school after it was revealed that the school was operating in Blantyre despite a directive from government to have schools in Blantyre and Lilongwe cities still be closed over escalating cholera cases .

This follows a local media follow-up on Wednesday which revealed that the school was still operating.

But reacting to the media findings, MDF Publicist, Major Kelvin Mlelemba defended the institution on the allegations saying there was confusion in the interpretation of the directive from the presidential task force on cholera that schools concerned were only those from the cities and their school falls within Blantyre Rural.



“Follow-up communication indicated that all schools are supposed to be closed and we have complied,” he said

Mlelemba denied that the school is still operating and that the students have been already sent back to their respective homes

“We are not offering lessons today as it is being purported,” Major Mlelemba was quoted by a local media house.

The Presidential Task Force on COVID 19 and cholera and the Ministry of Education announced last week that schools in Blantyre and Lilongwe will delay opening due to a surge in cholera cases.

Mangochi court aquits two on fraudulent appropriation of water

By Staff Reporter

The Principal Resident Magistrate court sitting in Mangochi on 6 January 2023, acquitted Frank Blake and Kelvin Igweche, of the offense of Fraudulent Appropriation of Water.

The two accused persons in the matter were employees of a water packaging company in Mangochi and the offense alleged to have been committed is contrary to Section 298 A of the Penal Code.

Frank Blake and Kelvin Igweche



It was heard in court that in the month of November 2022, on a routine check by officials from Water Board, an illegal connection bypassing the Water Board meter was discovered on the company’s premises. The Water Board officials reported the matter to the police which led to the arrest of Blake and Igweche who were working as a Manager and Machine Operator respectively.

The accused persons sought service from the Legal Aid Bureau and during the trial, the State paraded four witnesses in order to prove the charges against the two.

At the end of the prosecution’s case, the court ruled that there was no sufficient evidence that linked the two accused persons to the offense as charged.

Legally aided Frank Blake and Kelvin Igweche were found with no case to answer and were therefore set free.
