MEC’s SA lawyers following court via videoLink

The two South African lawyers  Dumisa Buhle Ntsebeza and Elizabeth Makhanani Baloyi-Mere hired to represent the Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) in the presidential election case appeal on Monday were following proceedings of the application to admit them through video technology of live link after reports they sneaked in the county on Sunday.

The proceedings were underway in Lilongwe.

MEC sought services of the South African lawyers on grounds that some local lawyers who were approached  turned down the electoral body.

However, the lawyers could not make it court and opted for  a web-based video conferencing system to follow the proceedings.
