The Malawi High Court declared in 2010 that the country’s sedition laws were illegal as they contravened against the Malawi Constitution, Malawi24 has learnt.
Renowned lawyer, Sunduzwayo Madise cited a ruling that Justice Lovemore Chikopa delivered in the case involving Harry Mkandawire and Yeremiah Chihana who were charged with managing unlawful Society.
But on sedition, Justice Chikopa ruled: “And yes perhaps it is time we decided whether in their present form our sedition laws remain valid in the current Constitutional dispensation or whether we still need them. We think not in either instance”.
While writing on his Facebook on the heels of Ulemu Msungama’s sedition charges, Sunduzwayo Madise said while drawing on Justice Chikopa’s ruling that since the 2010 High Court ruling was neither appealed nor overruled by the Malawi Supreme Court, the current sedition laws under the Penal Code “are unconstitutional and no longer needed”.
In this case, Madise suggested that Ulemu Msungama may walk free as he has been charged using nonexistent laws. The Malawi Constitution, under Section 5, grants the High Court the power to declare a law invalid if it is inconsistent with the Constitution.

Hello my name is Lizzy Joe, I want to give a testimony about my HIV virus that was cured by a great spell caster. Since last 16 years I have being a HIV positive patient. I never think I we live long again and am so grateful to Dr Greg Carlos who help me cured my HIV virus last 3 weeks. I was in a great pain so I told one of my best friends about my situation; she told me that there is a great spell caster that can cure my VIRUS. I asked her if she had his contact, she gave me his email and phone number, I emailed him and he talked to me and he perform the necessary things and he told me that after 14 days, I should go for a test.

the judge erred looking into the facts that its not the constitutional court to declare that, hence that law is still active…unless the constitutional court declare it to be…for your info

Eiiiiish! Whelther the law is invalid or not, but I think its stil shamemful and baseless to charge someone on whatsapp or facebook conversation. How many thousands of ppo is DPP going to arrest if they choose to go this way? Do they see the comments we post in the news articles published on social media? Are they aware of the names that ppo hv given to Mutharika based on his failure to govern? I think the best they could have done is to work on the challenges ppo are facing so that their works should speak for them, not threatening ppo….
