Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 42457, member: 636"] A Malawi court delayed the trial of actor Phwedo until July 10, 2025. The performer faces charges for sexual contact with a minor and child kidnapping. Police arrested him on April 22 but he walks free on bail. Magistrate Benjamin Chulu wants proof of the victim's real age. The prosecution must bring the national ID card used during school exams. Government lawyers brought papers from the exam board but forgot the ID card. The court gave them seven more days to find the document. Defense lawyer Khwima Mchizi said prosecutors handled the case poorly. The magistrate wants to know why the state team ignored his earlier order. Court officials need the ID to confirm how old the victim was during the alleged crimes. [/QUOTE]
