On Monday February 6, the Mzuzu Industrial court through its Deputy Chairperson Anthony Kapaswiche adjourned to March 23, 2023 a case in which one hundred and forty eight former Northern Region Water Board employees are seeking compensation for unlawful dismissal.

The employees took the matter to court demanding the payment of their arrears and compensations after being unfairly dismissed in September 2020.

The lawyers representing the water board asked the court for more time to consult and asses the witness statements which they received on Friday.



Confirming the development with local media, Constantino Mandala CHRAM associates lawyer representing the former employees said when the matter was brought to court, the argument was that the dismissal was unfair because some of them have been working for the board for sixteen years.

“So the claims that come with unfair dismissal, the court will normally grant compensation for unfair dismissal and if somebody is unfairly dismissed they are entitled to severance pay and because they were dismissed on the basis without notice on the basis that they were casual laborers we have also claimed for notice pay,” said Mandala.

He added “We agreed with counsel that some of the payments which were made like notice pay were very little not in relation to the salaries they were getting and they were also paid a token severance allowance which is contrary to the law”.

The former employees are claiming for compensation for unfair dismissal, payment for severance allowance and payment for notice pay.

Nginde has been missing on the showbiz scene for sometime, a development that led to speculations about his health and well-being.

While thanking Nankhumwa for for visiting him, Yalu disclosed he is struggling to make ends meet.

“Currently, I am doing nothing to earn a living.

“Life has been so difficult for me and your coming is a huge blessing to me,” Nginde informed the Leader of Opposition in Parliament.

In his speech, Nankhumwa said apart from Yalu, he has learnt that several other renowned actors and actresses have been “neglected” and it is his wish to reach out to them as well.

The opposition leader donated K100, 000 to the Yalu family.

He however, pledged to construct a descent house for the family.

Speaking on behalf of the theatre industry in Malawi, Jeremiah Mwaungulu, who is popularly known by his stage name ‘Chisi’, and who is Yalu’s closest friend, hailed Nankhumwa for his good heart and gesture.

Mwaungulu said the cash donation will significantly transform Nginde’s life and that of his family.

“We have approached a number of people to help our brother to no avail,” said Mwaungulu, adding that what Nankhumwa had done was a clear indication that he indeed has the welfare of artists at heart.
