Blantyre Chief Resident Magistrate Thom Ligowe has taken over the case of Nsanje ‘hyena’ man  Eric Aniva charged along side his accomplice-Vito Nkhalamba on sexual offences  after First Grade Magistrate Anderson Masanjala recused himself.

.Judiciary Spokesperson Mlenga Mvula confirmed the appointment of Judge Ligowe to proceed with the case once it resumes on August 25, 2016.

Masanjala recused himself from the case saying he stays in Nsanje so he wanted to remain neutral.

The 45-year-old  Aniva,  who has said he is infected with the Aids virus –  has said he was “not scared” to face trial.

The Law Society of Malawi has said it will represent him when the court reconvenes.

He has been charged with practising harmful cultural practises.

Aniva has said openly that he slept with the young girls as young as 12 years ago and also widows as part of the cultural cleansing ritual.

His wife is a widow whom he slept with after the death of her husband in the same ritual.

“We want him back home. We are suffering because we have no food,” his 25-year-old wife Fanny told AFP.

“When he is around, we don’t suffer because he is a man and he finds means to bring food to the house.”

His second wife, Sophia, said he had long abandoned the “hyena” business.

Shameless man together with his two dull women, so they are proud to call the promiscuity a business? God help me, where has Malawi gone to? So we can even distance ourselves from the Lord our creator in the name of observing cultural/ancestral practices…Anthu onsewa; mzibambo pamodzi ndi achakazi akewo, komanso mafumu, nduna ndi nyakwawa zomwe zimalimbikitsa zokhalidwe zaziwandazi nkumaona ngati akusunga chikhalidwe chamakolowa ndithudi mzimu wa Mulungu pa iwo palibe, chikumbumtima chawo ncholochedwa/chinasitika ndiiithu chifukwa azimayiwo akanakhala ndi nsanje pa mwamuna wao oopsya ngati ameneyu, chimzimucho chife mwa anthu onse okhala kumeneko nafike kukuzindikura kwa choonadi kuti miyoyo yawo… Read more »
