The Mwanza First Grade Magistrate court on Tuesday ordered a 38-year-old man to pay a fine of K15,000 for being found with South African Rands.
According to police files, the traveller has been identified as Innocent Chiyagwaza.
On Monday, Chiyagwaza was travelling to South Africa and when he arrived at Mwanza border post, officers searched his bag and found 6000 South African Rands.
He was asked to produce documents for possessing the said cash but he failed to do so and was arrested and taken to Mwanza First Grade Magistrate Court for hearing.
At the court, Chiyagwaza pleaded guilty to the charge of illegal possession of foreign currency which is contrary to section 25 of the Exchange Control Act.
He was then ordered to pay a fine of K15000 or in default to serve six months imprisonment.
Chiyagwaza comes from Kalonga village, Traditional Authority Mponda in Mangochi.

A police ake amachita kudziwika kuti ndiakuba. Malawi sadzathekaso ndithu. Loma umphawi uli thooo! Shame.
My question? Why do Malawians show 3000 rands in cash at every boarder unlike Zimbabweans or Zambians or any other nation in Africa?Don’t you think this puts Malawians travellers at risk of been robbed and killed.Cant you come up with something else apart from 3000 rands
Malemu Bingu ndamene anatipalira moto potuma akweni kuti auze boma la RSA kuti tizionetsa R3000.anachita izo poona kuti akuononga ndlama kutumiza ma bus kudzatenga amalawi othawa xenophobia.koma it’s long gone anayenera kufewetsa lamulo limeneli
We need to stop this nonsense,
That system was introduced by later big fish Bingu and they are failing to remove this system
Boma la malawi limatsogoleledwa ndi anthu opusa ine sopano sindikudziwa kaya nkuzatani kut bomali lidzakhale lochenjera

Guys, pena pake tisamangotukwana. Ngati sitikudziwa malamulo ndibwino kufunsa bwino bwino. Dziko Lili lonse lili ndi limit ya foreign currency.
Eg, here in Mozambique, it is 3000MZN yomwe ili eligal pa boarder. Ngati timalowa ndindarama zoposera pamenepa zimangokhala kuti lamuloli samalikokomeza especially mmaulendo a pansewu. Koma kwa amene amakwera ndege ndikupita dziko lina atha kundivomereza.
Tiyeni tichipetse kunyozetsa dziko lathu. Of course silikuyenda bwino koma kwanu ndi Kwanu. Enafe tilikwa eni coz kwathu zinthu sizilibwino. Koma sometimes I cry for my mother land.
