Sensational poet Robert Chiwamba has embarked on a 15 day vocation training and skills campaign aimed at mobilizing the youths...
so only poor people are supposed to be punished by law once they have done something wrong. chaponda stole all the millions of money and at last come out clean.
1) the 12 years is too harsh, this was not rape, manslaughter or murder. The 2 youths consented and were in a relationship 2) the magistrate has not thought of the consequences of the lengthy prison sentence to the girl, the unborn baby and the 20 years old boy 3) who is going to look after the pregnant 14 years old girl financially and socially now that the boy is in prison?(we have to be realistic here, the court or any government department will not support this girl, the only reliable support would come from the boy) 4) the baby… Read more »
I hate people who defend stupid stuff. What does the law say? Why are u saying its harsh?
It all boils down to the fact that the Malawi Judiciary is full of shit, always not promising when it comes to its judgements. Sometimes it is even asked whether these so called magistrates are interviewed at their entry into the system. The 12 year custodial sentence in this particular case is too excessive. Similar to already made observations, 20 yrs vs 14 years is not too big a difference. In ideal situation the two were supppsed to belong to the same education level, they are almost agemates.

14 years and in standard 4. No wonder amangomubandula
Kulakwa awa a Chawa amaphunzitsidwa ali ang`ono kuti kukanizana ndi tchimo, so it is part of their culture, take that into account coz by the time the boy is out of custody, the girl will be married to someone else with three or four more children
The punishment is unjustifiably harsh. Give the young man 3 months community service …
Or relations should appeal
Sure its too harsh
Only Idiots would say that
12 years,that is too much because the girl at the age of 14 years was in standard 4 which means the boy at the age of 20 years was in standard 8.This shows that they were all kids and happen to be future leaders.What you could have done is by slapping him 12 years without commiting a similar sin.Or take the boy to CIVIC CENTRE or to rehabilitation centres for him to change
Despite breaching the law, there was a consent here from the girl which could have been taken into consideration by the court and as others have argued here, the age difference between the two is no that huge – six years. I expect the High Court to reduce the sentence during confirmation. Meanwhile, the relations of this young man should seek services of Legal Aid Bureau so that the young man should be on bail pending confirmation of his sentence by the High Court.
12 years?? That’s ridiculous! He’s within 6 years age difference. In some countries there’s an exemption for those kinds of situations.
Patuma Laison actually killed her own baby and she only got three years and half. The boy just impregnated a girl and the girl is still alive and she will go back to school after giving birth. 12 yeas is just too much. The punishment is unreasonable.
WHY HIM BEING SLASHED WITH 12 YRS?
