Speaking in an exclusive interview with Times Television, Bushiri, who fled from South Africa shortly after he was granted bail alongside his co-accused wife Marry, said his extradition case will be a watershed on how Malawi citizens living in foreign countries will be treated.

A Thigh vendor worker accused of sleeping with a 13-year-old boy she met on a dating website has launched a bail appeal at the High Court arguing that the person she bedded behaved like a grown up man. Lawyers for Precious Teya, 26, said she had no way of knowing that the alleged victim was a minor because of his appearance. The lawyers also say the prosecution has failed to provide the boy’s birth certificate proving his age. Justice Tawanda Chitapi will hear Teya’s appeal against denial of bail by a magistrate last week. Her lawyer Moses Nyatsoma said: “The charges have been changed for the third time. She is now being charged with aggravated indecent assault, which to me shows how flimsy the charges are.” Teya was initially charged with sleep
