In South Africa, there’s nothing like fine. U straight go to jail for not less that 5 years. Where’s justice in fining someone K100 000

Sekelani wa Sekemini Saka.

Thats not fair guys.something has happened secretely, because you can not have a life recovery with that peace of money.We manage to buy suits with that amount of mount money,so can you think how special is life when we compare?Ok,R.I.P munthu osalakwa.

With mk 100K fine the punishment is too very mild indeed.
In fact it can not be termed as a punishment at all. The driver deserved a lot more severe punishment for sure. And what about the heirs of victim ? Any compensation for them ?

Mk100,000.00 is okay. The bereaved family will be compensated through Insurance. What is wrong here? That’s why we pay insurance.

The issue is that police prosecutors always agree with the magistrate first before the case gets to court. In this case the south African driver had a deal in hand known before going to court. Corruption is high in Malawi. It happened to my relative one day where a prosecutor had to delay our court appearance inorder to organise the cash for magistrate and him . After we said we had the cash its when we enter the court and judgement was passed and the guy got suspended sentence.

Mr Mphepo, Roads are not for the cars! We need to share the roads with everyone only that in Malawi our roads are very small in width and there is no specific space for a pedestrian.
