Mike Chimombe lost his bail appeal after the Supreme Court backed the High Court's decision to keep him locked up. The National Prosecuting Authority revealed today that the higher court agreed with the State's reasons for holding Chimombe. These reasons include fears he might run away, the serious nature of his charges, and concerns he could mess with witnesses.
Chimombe faces major fraud accusations related to misusing money from the Presidential Goats Pass-on Scheme. Police arrested him along with Moses Mpofu back in 2024. The legal system first denied him bail at the Magistrate's Court in July 2024, worried he might escape or talk to witnesses. He tried to fight this at the High Court, but his appeal became meaningless when...
President Kiir asked South Sudan citizens to stay peaceful after UN helicopters came under attack during rescue missions.

"I appeal to you to remain peaceful," President Kiir told his nation. He promised his government would handle this situation without letting South Sudan fall back into widespread fighting. "Our country will not return to war. Nobody should take the law into their hands," he stated firmly. Kiir sent heartfelt...
The DPP USA Wing just handed over a big cash gift to the Democratic Progressive Party back home in Malawi. Rhoda Gadama Misomali brought the money herself last Friday, March 7th.

Joyce Banda has spoken out against President Chakwera with harsh words about his leadership skills. The former president claims Chakwera lied to both her and ex-President Bakili Muluzi about plans for the Cyclone Freddy Foundation. She points out that despite many promises, Chakwera never actually met with them to discuss important details as he said he would.
Banda seems especially upset that Chakwera would mislead someone as respected as Muluzi. She also accuses the current president of falsely claiming credit during his State of the Nation Address. According to Banda, housing projects Chakwera bragged about actually started under her leadership years ago, not his administration.
The former leader expressed deep concern for everyday...

Dancehall star Malinga recently fired back at fellow artist Mady P after receiving many explicit comments from him. During an appearance on the JAAKEV Show with host Kelvin Ngumuya, Malinga made it clear he believes Mady P sits below his level in the industry.

During their talk, he shared personal details, including his full birth name, Chikumbutso Chitsundi Banda, and mentioned he has reached...
Malawi faces serious sugar problems right now. The Centre for Democracy and Economic Development Initiatives wants Trade Minister Vitumbiko Mumba to fix these issues fast. They believe he should hold an emergency meeting to discuss the constant shortages and high prices that are hurting people across the country.
CDEDI leader Sylvester Namiwa points out something fishy - sugar always seems scarce, yet Illovo Sugar keeps making huge profits every year. This pattern continues year after year, leaving regular citizens frustrated and confused about why they can't find affordable sugar.
For over 60 years, the sugar business has operated in Malawi without much benefit going to local farmers or the government. CDEDI claims sugar operates...
SRO just gave pawpaw tree seedlings to five elementary schools across East Bank in Nsanje District. These schools include Masenjere, Natibule, Chinyanje, Nakuyu, and Kalulu Primary. James Langwani is the organization's executive director. He explained that they started this project because climate change killed many fruit trees in the area.

Langwani asked both teachers and students to take care of these trees. He mentioned they picked pawpaw...
Malawi struggles to protect people online because its internet laws need updating. MACRA head Daud Suleman discussed this problem Thursday at Mzuzu University during a public lecture focusing on digital rights discussions. A student asked why internet crimes rarely face punishment in Malawi.
Suleman explained that Malawi's 2016 data protection law cannot handle today's digital threats. He described these laws as outdated and missing many new dangers. Regular citizens lack proper protection when they go online. Current laws make court evidence nearly impossible to gather because digital information changes easily.
The MACRA director shared they finished talking with important groups about fixing these laws. All suggested changes have...
