The magistrate says he wants to be neutral. Eee!

I don’t understand malawi and I dint think I will do. Country men, u min we are keeping this guy behind bars just bcoz azungu azidziwa basi? I stand to be corrected but I have full evidence that every malawian who has been in this country for the past 6 or 12 months must be fully aware of this aniva issue. The story was covered by Times TV and later on by Daily Times newspaper. I was therefore shocked when I heard that a directive was thrown through the stairs to have thus guy arrested when the BBC had covered… Read more »
