Demi Moore showed her support for ex-husband Bruce Willis at a recent benefit for frontotemporal degeneration.

According to photos obtained by multiple outlets, Moore, 62, was spotted at the Soho Sessions’ event in New York City on Wednesday, November 6. The actress, who was married to Willis from 1987 to 2000, donned a black pea coat, leather turtleneck top and trousers for the occasion.

The event fundraised for the Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration and honored Willis, 70, who is battling the condition. Keith Richards, Norah Jones, Mavis Staples and Warren Hayne performed at the event, according to People.

Moore wasn’t the only A-List guest in attendance. Kevin Bacon, Kyra Sedgwick, Michael J. Fox, Tracy Pollan and Whoopi Goldberg were amid the crowd. Willis’ wife, Emma Heming Willis, was also in attendance and thanked everyone for their support.

“I just wanna say first thank you all for being here,” Heming Willis told the crowd, per People. “This is incredible, and I love what you guys are doing here at the Soho [Sessions] to be able to raise awareness for frontotemporal dementia. This is gonna bring all of Bruce’s friends and family together. So thank you for being here. I honestly wish Bruce could be here, but he’s here in spirit.”

In March 2022, Willis’ family revealed that the Die Hard actor was diagnosed with the language disorder, aphasia. The following year, Willis’ condition progressed to frontotemporal dementia, which impacts a person’s behavior and language.

After caring for her husband for years, Heming Willis revealed in August that Willis now lives in a separate residence with full-time care. Willis’ new house is close to the home he shared with his wife and their daughters, Mabel, 13, and Evelyn, 11. (Willis also shares daughters Rumer, 37, Scout, 34, and Tallulah, 31, with Moore.)

“It was one of the hardest decisions that I’ve had to make so far,” Heming Willis said of having to make the difficult choice during an August interview with Diane Sawyer. “But I knew, first and foremost, Bruce would want that for our daughters. You know, he would want them to be in a home that was more tailored to their needs, not his needs.”

While Heming Willis received backlash for the decision, she has doubled down on the choice, telling Good Morning America in August, “It’s really not up for a debate. Now I know that Bruce has the best care 100 percent of the time. His needs are met 100 percent of the time, as well as our two young daughters. So I’m not gonna take a vote on that.”

Moore, for her part, has been supportive of Heming Willis throughout Willis’ health struggles.

“Being the ex-wife, even though our family is very connected, is an interesting position,” Moore said during a September podcast appearance. “So much fell on Emma to really figure this whole thing out, and the most beautiful thing was recognizing the importance for caregivers and that they have to take care of themselves. If they don’t put that time into making sure that they’re OK, then they can’t show up for anyone else.”

LUSAKA-(MaraviPost)-Legal and economic experts are urging the Malawi government to pursue an out-of-court settlement in the controversial helicopter deal with Zambia’s AYA Technologies, warning that dragging the matter through international arbitration could cost taxpayers billions more in damages, interest, and legal fees.

The Malawi government has been advised to consider an out-of-court settlement in the ongoing $9.2 million helicopter dispute with Zambian firm AYA Technologies Ltd, amid fears that continued litigation before the International Court of Arbitration (ICC) in Paris could lead to escalating financial losses for the country.

The dispute stems from the government’s July 2024 decision to cancel a deal for two Bell 412 helicopters, which were later condemned as unfit to fly. The government had already paid $500,000 (about K867 million) as a deposit to AYA Technologies before pulling out of the contract.

The company has since sued for $4.6 million (about K8 billion), arguing that Malawi breached the agreement.

While Malawi’s former Attorney General (AG) Thabo Nyirenda, insists the contract was invalid and wants the advance payment refunded, some analysts warn that the government’s position could be legally and financially untenable.

“We’ve already admitted liability by paying,” says lawyer
Blantyre-based commercial lawyer Chifundo Soko said Malawi’s initial deposit is legally significant because it shows that the government had acknowledged and entered into a binding contract with AYA Technologies.

“Once the government paid that $500,000, it created a contractual relationship. Whether or not the helicopters were airworthy, that payment demonstrates consent and intent to transact. Unilaterally cancelling now exposes the state to litigation risk,” Soko said.

“In arbitration, the ICC will not only look at the technical side of the aircraft but also at the conduct of the parties. Malawi could easily be found in breach and ordered to pay both damages and interest,” he added.

Soko said an out-of-court mediation settlement could be a less expensive and reputationally safer option, especially given that international arbitration often involves high legal costs and currency penalties.

Economists warn of ballooning costs
Economic governance analyst Michael Cipo said the government’s refusal to engage in mediation could see costs spiral far beyond the K8 billion currently being demanded.

“International arbitration is extremely expensive. By the time the case concludes, Malawi could be paying upwards of K12 or even K15 billion, once you add interest, lawyer fees, and arbitration costs in Paris,” Chipo warned.

“It is in the country’s best financial interest to negotiate a settlement—perhaps by compensating AYA for its expenses and withdrawing cleanly—rather than waiting for a costly judgment.”

He added that a protracted legal fight could also affect Malawi’s credit reputation and relations with regional partners, especially given AYA’s Zambian origin.

Middlemen at the centre of the storm
Public procurement specialist Dr. Anthony Kamwana argued that the deal’s problems partly stemmed from the use of middlemen in defence procurement, a recurring issue in Malawi’s military acquisitions.

“If the government already made a deposit, that means the intermediary was engaged and fulfilled certain contractual conditions. Those intermediaries need to be properly compensated to avoid more penalties,” Kamwana said.

“Government should settle with AYA, clean up the process, and move on. Otherwise, this will become another long-running legal mess like the cement and fertilizer procurement cases that drained millions.”

Lessons from previous arbitration cases
Malawi has a poor record in managing international contract disputes.

In 2020, the government lost $8 million in a similar arbitration case involving a European supplier over a cancelled procurement deal.

Legal experts warn that history could repeat itself if Lilongwe insists on defending the AYA case through full arbitration.

Former Solicitor General Janet Banda, now an international law consultant, said Malawi’s defence—based on claims of the helicopters being “unfit to fly”—may not be strong enough to avoid liability.

“Arbitration tribunals often prioritize procedural fairness over technical assessments. If Malawi did not follow proper termination procedures or failed to give adequate notice, the tribunal may rule in AYA’s favour regardless of the aircraft condition,” Banda said.
“A negotiated settlement is the most practical and least damaging option right now.”

The case for settlement
Experts agree that Malawi can still limit its exposure by engaging in structured mediation, paying off the Zambian supplier a portion of the claimed amount, and formally ending the contract to avoid ongoing penalties
“If government pays even half of the K8 billion claim as a negotiated settlement, that’s far cheaper than the billions more it might lose after arbitration,” Chipo emphasized.

The Attorney General’s office maintains it will defend the case vigorously, but insiders within the Ministry of Finance admit privately that arbitration in Paris could “cripple the budget.”

As one Treasury official who asked not to be named put it: “The truth is, we paid something. That payment binds us legally. Unless we resolve this quickly, it will cost the taxpayer far more than anyone is admitting.”

In summary

Malawi’s attempt to walk away from the controversial helicopter deal could soon backfire.

With AYA Technologies pursuing damages before an international tribunal, experts say the government should swallow its pride, negotiate a settlement, and spare the nation a costly and humiliating legal defeat.

WASHINGTON-(MaraviPost)-US President Donald Trump has said he will not attend the upcoming G20 summit in Johannesburg, arguing that South Africa “no longer deserves a place” among the world’s major economies.

Speaking at the American Business Forum in Miami, Trump said, “South Africa shouldn’t even be in the G’s anymore, because what’s happened there is bad.”

Vice President J.D. Vance will represent the United States at the meeting, set for November 22–23.

Trump, a longtime critic of South Africa’s land reform policies, has accused the government of targeting white farmers and committing “massive human rights violations”—claims Pretoria has dismissed as “factually incorrect” and based on a distorted view of its policies.

BLANTYRE-(MaraviPost)-Football Association of Malawi (FAM) President Fleetwood Haiya says the Malawi Women’s National Football Team, the Scorchers, will travel to Morocco with a clear mission to compete at the highest level rather than to merely test their capabilities.

Addressing journalists during a media briefing, Haiya said FAM has ensured that the team undergoes thorough preparations, including arranging targeted friendly matches to strengthen tactical cohesion and readiness ahead of the upcoming WAFCON tournament.

He further disclosed that FAM is working on introducing a Four Nations Tournament, which is expected to become a permanent feature of the Scorchers’ long-term development agenda.

Dates for the tournament and participating nations will be announced once consultations are finalized.

Haiya explained that the tournament will give the team consistent international engagement, helping Malawi to maintain competitive form beyond the qualifiers.

The FAM president extended his appreciation to government institutions and development partners for their financial and logistical support, saying the assistance has enabled the Scorchers to meet crucial qualification requirements.

He also applauded the media for continuously promoting women’s football by ensuring that the Scorchers’ achievements are well covered, a move he said helps motivate the players and increase public support.

The Scorchers secured their spot at WAFCON after defeating Angola 2–0 in a decisive qualifier played at Bingu National Stadium on 28 October 2025, a result Haiya described as a historic step in Malawi’s women’s football journey.

Haiya said he is delighted with the team’s continuous progress, noting that since the Scorchers’ formation in 1998, there has been steady improvement, culminating in consistent appearances in major qualification campaigns.

Two of the teams that Malawi faced during the WAFCON qualifiers are expected to participate in the upcoming Four-Nations Tournament, giving the Scorchers an opportunity to evaluate their strength against familiar opponents.

According to Haiya, one of FAM’s key ambitions is to guide the Scorchers toward qualifying for the Women’s World Cup and eventually achieving a top finish at WAFCON.

He added that these objectives are attainable with discipline, planning, and sustained investment.

Haiya also reported that FAM has fulfilled 98% of its targets for 2025 but admitted that securing sponsorship for beach soccer remains a challenge.

However, he confirmed that discussions with a potential sponsor are currently underway.

He clarified that although securing sponsorship is not solely the association’s responsibility, FAM is committed to finalizing all ongoing negotiations to ensure all football disciplines grow.

Responding to questions about the Flames’ performance, Haiya said the men’s national team has achieved its 2025 target by improving its FIFA ranking from 134 to 128, adding that further improvements are expected with continued effort.

He concluded by saying that the Scorchers’ technical panel should not feel pressured by the WAFCON targets.

Instead, he said the expectations should serve as motivation for the players and staff as they work toward realizing the dream of qualifying for the Women’s World Cup.
