BLANTYRE-(MaraviPost)-Lilongwe police have arrested Norman Kambanje, aged 30, following allegations that he sexually assaulted a 17-year-old girl under the guise of fulfilling a witch doctor’s ritual to recover a stolen cellphone.

The girl, originally from Thyolo’s Area 25, had been instructed by her mother to meet Kambanje at Area 36 in Lilongwe to collect a cellphone reportedly recovered by a witch doctor.

The device had been stolen in Thyolo but was said to be found in Lilongwe through traditional means.

Upon meeting at Mwenyekondo, Kambanje administered herbal substances to the girl as part of the initial ritual aimed at recovering the phone.

He then coerced her into compliance by threatening death if she refused to meet further demands.

Following these threats, Kambanje took the girl to a local resthouse where he sexually assaulted her multiple times, claiming the acts were rituals required by the witch doctor to retrieve the missing phone.

The suspect released the girl the following morning without the cellphone.

He explained that the ritual was incomplete because they had only engaged in six sexual encounters, whereas the witch doctor had allegedly prescribed ten rounds for the ritual to succeed.

After her release, the victim disclosed the ordeal to her family, who promptly reported the matter to the police.

Medical examination at Kamuzu Central Hospital confirmed that the girl had been defiled.

Further investigations revealed that Kambanje had maintained contact with the family in Thyolo and was aware that the girl was in Lilongwe for her school holidays.

Exploiting this knowledge, he deceived the victim’s mother by using witch doctor claims to gain access to the girl, ultimately to satisfy his criminal intentions.

Prior to his arrest, police say Kambanje continued to harass the girl with phone calls, inviting her back to Area 36 for similar encounters and repeating death threats to ensure her compliance.

Kambanje, who hails from Ndazadala Village, Traditional Authority Nsabwe in Thyolo District, is expected to appear in court soon, facing charges of having sexual intercourse with a child.

This case highlights the dangers of exploitation under the guise of traditional practices and the urgent need for community awareness and protection of vulnerable children from such abuses.

BLANTYRE-(MaraviPost)-Vice President-elect Dr. Jane Ansah has shared a heartfelt message on her Facebook page mourning the passing of the Late Senior Chief Kwataine.

In her post, Dr. Ansah wrote that she had attended the funeral of the chief, describing him as a respected elder whose death has left the community in deep sorrow.

She noted that the loss of Chief Kwataine has caused more pain than other personal losses, emphasizing the significant role he played in the lives of those around him.

Dr. Ansah added that just as the community had mourned the passing of their elder Gogo from Kachindamoto, they now accompany Gogo Kwataine on his final journey.

She extended her condolences to the family of the late chief, the people of Malawi, and all Ngoni communities in Malawi and neighboring countries.

Dr. Ansah acknowledged that the death of Gogo Kwataine has been particularly painful, reflecting on the chief’s wisdom, leadership, and the respect he commanded.

She described Chief Kwataine as a figure of steadfast courage, noting that anyone seeking justice or guidance would turn to him for wisdom, regardless of their responsibilities or position.

In her post, she poignantly reflected that the chief’s passing feels like a heavy blow, leaving the nation under the scorching sun of grief.

Chief Kwataine, who led the Ntcheu district for several decades, was widely respected for his commitment to promoting community development, preserving Ngoni cultural heritage, and fostering social cohesion.

Under his leadership, Ntcheu saw improvements in local infrastructure, education initiatives, and agricultural development programs that benefitted thousands of residents.

He was also known for mediating disputes fairly, supporting initiatives for women and youth empowerment, and maintaining strong relationships with other traditional leaders across Malawi and the region.

The funeral, currently underway at Nthunzi Mortuary in Lilongwe, has attracted numerous dignitaries, political leaders, and citizens who have come to pay their respects and participate in the final rites.

Ceremonial activities include traditional Ngoni rituals, speeches from community elders, and the formal laying to rest of the late chief’s remains in accordance with customary practices.

Dr. Ansah’s tribute highlights the enduring legacy of Chief Kwataine and the deep respect he garnered across Malawi and the wider Ngoni community.

Observers say her message underscores the important relationship between Malawi’s political leadership and traditional authorities, emphasizing the value of customary leaders in guiding communities.

As the nation mourns, Chief Kwataine’s contributions to local governance, social cohesion, and cultural preservation continue to inspire leaders and citizens alike.

LONDON-(MaraviPost)-Arsenal have received a massive boost in their long-term project after French defender William Saliba signed a new five-year contract, keeping him at the Emirates Stadium until 2030.

The 23-year-old, widely regarded as one of the best young centre backs in world football, had verbally agreed to extend his stay last week.

The deal has now been officially completed, ending speculation over his future.

Saliba’s decision to commit comes despite growing interest from top European clubs including Real Madrid, who were reportedly preparing to make a move for him in 2026.

His choice reflects his belief in Arsenal’s project and his desire to be a key figure in the club’s pursuit of trophies.

Since breaking into the Arsenal first team, Saliba has transformed the defence, providing both stability and confidence at the back.

His partnership with Gabriel Magalhães has been the cornerstone of Mikel Arteta’s side, earning praise from pundits and fans alike.

Saliba has also become a fan favourite at the Emirates, admired for his composure on the ball, strength in duels and leadership qualities despite his young age.

His performances last season played a vital role in Arsenal’s title push and their return to the UEFA Champions League.

Speaking after signing the contract, Saliba expressed his delight: “Arsenal is my home. I believe in the manager, I believe in the project, and I want to win big trophies here with my teammates and our fans.”

Manager Mikel Arteta described the deal as a major step forward for the club, calling Saliba a cornerstone of Arsenal’s future.

“William is a special player. His development has been fantastic, and he has shown incredible maturity. Keeping him here for the long term is crucial for our ambitions,” Arteta said.

The extension also sends a strong message to Arsenal’s rivals that the club is serious about competing at the highest level.

With young stars like Bukayo Saka, Martin Ødegaard, Gabriel Martinelli and now Saliba all tied to long contracts, the Gunners are building a squad for sustained success.

LILONGWE-(MaraviPost)-President Lazarus Chakwera has dealt Malawians a painful farewell by approving a final pump price hike just days after being trounced by Peter Mutharika in the September 2025 elections.

With the new president yet to be sworn in, Chakwera’s caretaker administration has imposed fuel price adjustments that have left many Malawians reeling under despair.

Petrol prices have risen sharply from K2,530 per liter to K3,499 per liter.

This represents an almost K1,000 jump per liter, a drastic increase that even surpasses the campaign season spike in the price of maize flour.

Diesel has also been adjusted upwards, climbing from K2,734 per liter to K3,500 per liter.

The Malawi Energy Regulatory Authority (MERA), led by Chief Executive Officer Henry Kachaje, announced the new prices despite mounting criticism of the institution’s leadership.

Kachaje was controversially appointed to the position under Chakwera’s administration, largely due to political loyalties rather than merit.

The Office of the Ombudsman had previously ruled that Kachaje was not duly qualified for the post, but the decision was ignored by the outgoing government.

For many Malawians, this final fuel hike represents not only an economic burden but also a symbol of an administration that has left behind frustration, despair, and mistrust.

As Peter Mutharika prepares to take the oath of office, the people of Malawi are left questioning whether the incoming leadership will bring them relief or whether the cycle of hardship will continue.
