Dwangwa United’s coach Lloyd Nkhwazi is reportedly ‘ready to quit’ the club. Nkhwazi has since unceremoniously left for Blantyre due...
Aniva is that man who still lives to wonder what befell him for sincerely following the rituals he has grown with. This is why we need transformative education in Malawi. No tradition is any better looking at what people believe no matter where they come from. Think of Mulanje, Phalombe and Thyolo, how about Machinga, Mangochi Zomba etc How about Lilongwe, Rumphi etc….

I am hoping that the case will lead to traditional leaders review their stance on ritual sex for what it is. I am hoping that Aniva would have learnt his lesson and not think that… Read more »
man need to be compensated for unfair trial and conviction.
True! He was only carrying out a job which people willingly hired him to perform.
And to his stupid lawyer Goba Chipeta! Go on with the appeal so that his name is cleared.
I agree with Ras Mpunga. What sense does it make for the whole president ordering the arrest of a man accused of petty issues leaving out people who have stolen billions of tax payers’ money ?Stupid !
