There is no Tsanya in Malawi anymore it was finished by a Ziboliboli. I agree that the Tsanya was in transit to China. The forestry officer knew that the truck was carrying Tsanya in the front section of the container and pine planks at the rear. The police at Chiingeni roadblock were sharp and alert. The magistrate should have impounded the Tsanya and released the pine planks. The pine planks were just a smoke screen.

I agree with the Magistrate. The Police had no right to arrest the transporters. This duty is in the hands of Forestry Department. The Regional Forestry department issued the certificate and gave the consent for the drivers to transport wood, so is that their problem? The magistrate . He is simply discharging his duties according to facts brought before him.

The magistrate has power to discharge an offender if there are exitinuating circumstances in the way an offence was committed. Blame the reporter for not understanding the law. There is difference between acquittal and discharge.

This Magistrate executed his job in the manner a village court would. He is a shame to the system, and must make an effort to shape in or shape out of it. He should have convicted the two, order re-possession of the logs, and further ordered corrective measures to ensure the Forestry department is accountable to the public. I have no doubt in my heart that the magistrate was corrupted. I am going to take this matter up as a private citizen. The battle is not over yet.

Permit was for mbwanda, and the people are arrested for non mbwanda. Case was proven beyond reasonable doubt. Magistrate has erred in all principles. However, the magistrate has shone a bright light on some conjectural official corruption of the forestry officers who gave a permit for mbwanda with knowledge that non mbwanda was also being transferred.
