The Malawi Magistrate Court in Nkhatabay district has sentenced Joseph Mphande, 60, to six years imprisonment with hard labour for raping his 22-year-old daughter.
State prosecutor Keston Chiona told the court that in March this year the girl asked for money from his father to start business. In reply, the father told his daughter that for her business to prosper, she needed a certain medication.
When she quizzed as to what type of medication was needed, the father told her daughter that they needed to have sex to which the daughter refused but on the nights of 3rd April and 28th May 2017, the father raped the young woman.
This prompted her to report the abuse to the village head who later took the victim to Usisya police unit.
The girl was referred to Usisya health centre where rape was confirmed. A few days later, Mphande was arrested and was charged with rape contrary to section 157 (1) of the penal code.
In Court, Mphande pleaded not guilty to the charge but three witnesses were paraded to prove his guilt and on July 12 he was found guilty.
In mitigation, Mphande said he is an orphan, an excuse that triggered laughter in the courtroom.
Passing sentence, First Grade Magistrate Anthony Banda decried Mphande’s behaviour saying as a father he was supposed to be providing protection to his daughter not to sexually abuse her.
He later slapped him with a six year jail term taking into consideration his age.
Joseph Mphande comes from Kaulanda village in the area of Traditional Authority M’bwana in Nkhatabay district.

How old does one fit in the definition of an orphan ? Does orphanhood have age ?
Mhahaha I think in Malawi orphanhood has no age limit, cz as we’ve just seen, the court ruled in his favour as an orphan by giving him just 6yrs imprisonment
Do you think that a 22 years girl can be raped? Expand your answer cz 22years old, she is old enough . She can run or do anything to protect herself.
are u serious?? u dont think the man overpowered her?? even so the man shld b punished for even tryin. madness
big do you think nyonga za mkazi zingafanane ndi mwamuna?
R serious with ur with ur question …she might have been abused from even before she was 22 and wheather she is 30 or 40 ,rape is rape period because she did not ask for it …common sense is need ed in such sensitive matters .
Thanks for your answers. But difficult to understand
Hope she didn’t enjoy it too. This is called inside job
This is a very foolish comment
Thus according to you #Inno
I hope he had a gun or a machete
If u say someone at 22 can’t be raped,why J.Zuma is called a rappist?
this man is selfish any age can be raped as long as you domt want
Think before u speak, sunamvepo nkhani ku court amayi kukasuma kut amunawo awagwiririla
