The six are Chifundo Moses, 23, David Njanji, 32, Chitenje Kwenda, 58, Moses Issa, 35, Bicycle Banda, 27, and Chisomo Banda, 20.

  1. So you lock up an ex mp from zomba for 18 months for abuse of office and robbing it’s constituents of development, yet lock these fools for some kak animals that would help no bloody malawian for six years… A shit justice system indeed…

    1. Animals life matter. They have same rights as humans on earth and deserve our protection. Get over it you fool. They should have got even harsher sentence.
