A worker at Malawi’s Kawalazi tea estate in Nkhatabay has been arrested after he was involved in a sexual relationship with a minor.

The man identified as 20 year-old Andrew Bernard has been sleeping with the 14 year-old girl since May last year.

Information gathered by this publication shows that the girl lives with his family at the estate where her father works as a tea plucker. It is here where she met Bernard who had been raping her for close to seven months.

CourtThe girl’s father James Kamanga told our reporter on Saturday that he had no knowledge on the issue until some people tipped him that his daughter was showing some signs of pregnancy.

“After my sister Rita Moyo tipped me about the issue I pressed my daughter and she told me that she has been sleeping with Bernard without using condoms since May last year,” said Kamanga.

The revelation irked him to the extent that he wanted to manhandle Bernard for raping his daughter but some villagers advised him to report the matter to police.

“The police referred us to Kavuzi Health Centre for medical examination which indeed proved that my daughter has been defiled and she is four months pregnant.

“This prompted the police to arrest Bernard on charges of defilement such that as I am speaking now, he is in police custody waiting to appear in court,” he added.

Police publicist for the district Sergeant Ignatius Esau who confirmed the scandal maintained that the rapist will appear in court soon to answer charges of defilement in accordance with section 138 of the penal code. The maximum penalty for the offence is life imprisonment with hard labor.

The suspect hails from traditional authority Kachindamoto in Dedza while the victimized girl hails from Traditional authority Mzikuwola in Mzimba district.

    6. It does. A human body needs to be fully developed, if you engage into adults things, that’s why we find people getting every kind of sickness, if u start adult things before you fully grown, it means your body will never be fully grown and you will be weak and any sickness can attack u

    8. Yes, we have to forcus more on biology if we are talking about the human body cos biology is the only key to study and understand our bodies

    9. Yes, we have to forcus more on biology if we are talking about the human body cos biology is the only key to study and understand our bodies

  58. The man identified as 20 year-old Andrew Benard has been sleeping with a 14 year-old girl before he impregnated her.This sentence alone shows that the two were in a relationship.So talking of rape here its like exaggeration i guess.

  61. apo palibe vuto ndibanja limenelo kugwilira mpaka 5 times aaaa bwanji osakasuma poyambapo chinali chibwezi asatinamizepo apa akhoti nawo sakkuona kuti kuli njala

  66. He must go to prison, that kind of crime is called statutory rape, the body of a 14 year old is still growing and need not to be disturbed. Dating and sleeping together are two different things.

    4. Her hormones will be disturbed permanently, and her body is not ready to carry a human being.Some people are so selfish, they only think about themselves

    5. Her hormones will be disturbed permanently, and her body is not ready to carry a human being.Some people are so selfish, they only think about themselves

  67. This story sound childish and Exaggerated,how can a girl being Raped more than 5times?an to luk at their ages its agud age differrent,to my understanding I conclude this as a couple and the man is just been blackmailed

  70. A man is 20 and a woman is 14, difference 6, in my opinion it’s a gud choice Rather than a 40yr impregnates a 14yr

  75. Mnyamatayo alibe mulandu,Ntsikanayo chimodzi-modzi onsewo ndichisankho chawo.komanso inu olemba nkhani ndikuitumiza,pa air simukuwona kuti miyezi ikuchuluka.Aaaa mpaka chaka ndiye kumanena kuti wagwilira?awuzeni anthu zoti kuli mwambo wachinkhoswe.

    2. The mind of a 14 year doesn’t have a full understanding of sex, he should have dated her and wait until she is 18 , if he truly loved her.

    3. No, 14yr girl is not young nowdays. Imagine, last yr upto now, why call it rape? If u arrest him, who will take care of the girl’s pregnant? I think the best important is to ask the girl’s idea, mayb she loves that guy so much u dont know. If it was a rape she would tell some1 at the first action.

    4. The laws are very clear..section 138 of the penal code..kugonana ndi mtsikana osakwana zaka 17 thats Defilement kaya mwanayo amafuna or forced.. In this case the period makes the crime worse because the suspect had time to think that he was doing a bad thing.

    8. 14 is too young. Peter Gulumba dont say nowadays as if times have changed drastically. You cant ask her for her opinion cause shes fourteen and doesn’t know much of thus matter, shes not supposed to be pregnant. Teenagers make bad decisions

    12. She can love the guy but her body is not ready for adultery, the guy should have protected her if he really loves her. Nobody disturbed his body when he was 14, why is he selfish now? The law states that you can date a minor but its a crime to sleep with her

  78. They are both kids, stop exaggerating Malawi24. If i were the judge of this case I would have blamed parents of either sides. They didn’t well look after their children.

  79. If the perpetrater found guilty let him face the total justice. And my advice to the father is parenting is a vital role proved must for him to take. A 13 year old girl is just too young for her to look after herself successfully.

  80. Hey my friends convince me here,what is the difference between raping and relationship.Since may last year,that’s a relationship.but raping happens within short period of time.My sister got pregnant when she was 14 aswell but nothing had happen,why to him now ?

  85. penapake atsikanafe tizikhala ochenjera ndi anthu amunawa ambwera ngati afuna atithandize osadziwa their after something especially tikhakhala kuti takula kumene i can imagine her pain ..ine ndingothokoza mulungu kuti unamwali wanga unali bwino

  88. kodi apa vuto ndichan or chachilendo ndichan? kugonana or kuperaka mimba? ngati nkhani zantha zingotipanga update nkhani ya ku Eritrea or jonz zoti nkazi azikhala ndimitala officially

  99. Is dat defilement?????????? Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkk mpaka life imprisonment zochita kupangana kuti azigonanazo??????? Who the fuck are you????????

  100. Inu lunch sitimadya 12 O’clock? Nde uyu wadya somewhere 14:00hrs which means zinakhwima zimenezo
