Sumbuleta arrested over sexual misconduct at MBC
Malawi Police in Blantyre have finally arrested former Malawi Broadcasting Corporation (MBC) director general, Aubrey Sumbuleta and is being kept at Limbe Police Station.
Sumbuleta, accused of sexually harassing female employees at the public broadcaster, was arrested Saturday morning from his Mpingwe Township home in Limbe.
National Police publicist, James Kadadzera has confirmed the development, saying law enforcers will have to record statement from him before they go further with legal proceedings.
His arrest follows recommendations from the Malawi Human Rights Commission (MHRC) which investigated sexual harrassment allegations which were leveled against the former MBC Director General.
MHRC found that Sumbuleta violated several human rights in contravention of the Constitution, the Gender Equality Act and International Human Rights principles and standards.
The Commission found that he sexually harassed four female employees at different occasions and places and the complainants had no consented relationship with him and he expected them to give in to his advances because they are women.
MHRC, therefore, ordered the Malawi Police to commence legal prosecution against him over the charges.
The Commission advised the women to seek compensation for sexual harassment from Sumbuleta and has ordered MBC to compensate the women because the corporation does not have a workplace policy on sexual harassment.
MBC was also ordered to re-instated of the victims, who retired early after being ill-treated due to the sexual harassment.
Sumbuleta was fired at MBC for other disciplinary issues earlier this year.
[…] MALAWI: Sumbuleta arrested over sexual misconduct at MBC […]
I detest sexual harassment but this dude has already been found guilty in the the social media court of public opinion. Ku khothi kwenikweni akazi amenewo akanyeredwa to prove kuti anawapwala mokakamiza.
The slay queens are everywhere.They don’t have brains.They find their way out of poverty through their skirts. Right from their sukulu ya kwacha ,they pass exams by corrupting the innocent Josephs and Samsons.
Every where they go they use their feminine power for survival. Sumbuleta may be a victim of these Delilahs.
Income generation my friend. Look around and see how many unemployed people there are.
You are on point. These women at MBC were using their bottom power to survive instead of using their brains. Lero akufuna amubere Chakwera for being his agents in his efforts to unleash the reign of terror against anybody perceived as a DPP sympathiser. Shame to open bottomed MBC slay queens.
Izizi ndi zoona,azimayi opanda nzeru amayenda ovulavula mmaofensimu searching for favours. They are worse than the sex workers.
Dzikoli limatembenuka I do remember during Bingu’s tinapita ku Mlakho wa Alomwe Aubrey was the one who served us with lunch from 10 tonne lorry by then was working with British council atangongobwela APM umoyo kusithilatu
There is another Sumbuleta at Alliance One Tobacco Company answering to the name Emmanuel Mervin Banda. Emmanuel is the Director of HR and as the tobacco season is fast approaching, he is screwing would be season employees as a condition to be recruited. What is nasty is that he is having those sex escapades in his office. Last year a poor woman was fired because she allegedly rejected his sexual advances. As junior employees we are ready to expose him. If he is not taken to task on these allegations then the image of Alliance One Tobacco Company will be… Read more »
You have to report him formally. It doesn’t help bringing the matter here. Go and report him just like Sumbuleta was
Tikamunenera season ikatha. Tikakanena pano atichotsa ntchito. Meanwhile, tikosonkhanitsa maumboni.
You are an idiot! Ku polisi sumakudziwa?
The women who were being sumbuletised are not innocent either. Did they report to their husbands or to anyone panthawi imene amakweredwayo? What did they do with Sumbuleta’s advancements? Where were they all this time? Mahule apa MBC awa fotseki.
Wow! Who’s this guy? I thought Sambuleta is in jail. Is he allowed to comment on this article?
Genius observation
Wake up malawi there is alot of boses doing the same thing like Sumbuleta was doing with weak women at work plis strong women shout up for help before is too late…Lets these beasts rot in jail
Arrest is easy but remember where is evidence? Most of those things happened one on one in sumbuleta’s office. The women will allege and simbuleta will deny, so where is the evidence or witness?
Provided there is one or two women who kept their semens contaminated underwears for DNA tests.
So many sumbuleta’s in the offices. women are staying quite for fear of losing jobs. Modern slavery
Just curious: what would happen if this dude was thrown into the homosexual wing of the jail? He would learn, albeit too late, the importance of “consent”. And he would come out of prison a truly reformed man. Just sayin’.
