  In a move that has stirred political discussion, the Lilongwe City Council (LCC) has turned down the Democratic Progressive Party’s (DPP) request to conduct a whistle-stop tour across multiple locations in Lilongwe City’s Masintha Constituency. Letter from Lilongwe city council   The DPP had sought clearance to hold brief rallies at Chilinde, Chiwoko, Matchansi, Biwi, Mchesi, and Kawale this Saturday, starting from 10 a.m. However, in an official response letter seen by this blog, the council has advised the party to select only one location for their rally instead of touring multiple sites. According to the LCC, the restriction stems from the fact that the official campaign period has not yet begun. The council emphasized that holding rallies in several areas would be contrary to current electoral regulations. "Since the campaign period hasn't started yet, you are requested to hold a rally in one location. We request your office to formally write us on the place you in...

In a firm stance against property crimes, a magistrate court in Thyolo has sentenced two men, Misheck Sinagogo (26) and Mphatso Justin (21), to four years in prison after they were convicted of burglary and theft. The incident occurred during the night of April 3, 2025, when the duo broke into the home of Lloyd Kalulu while he was asleep. They managed to steal three bags of maize, collectively valued at K150,000. Their criminal endeavor, however, was short-lived. According to State Prosecutor Sub Inspector Stella Mwimaniwa, police investigations led officers to a local maize buyer who had unknowingly purchased the stolen goods. The buyer identified one of the thieves, which later led to the arrest of the second suspect. When brought before the court, both Sinagogo and Justin admitted to the charges. During mitigation, they pleaded for leniency, citing family responsibilities. But the prosecution argued that their actions warranted no mercy due to the serious nature of the offense. ...
