'Teach it in Law School' - Judge hails Malawi's triumph of democracy

15/06/2020

The SACJF has written a statement regarding the current crisis around the judiciary in Malawi.

15/06/2020

An extremely serious situation has arisen between the judiciary and President Peter Mutharika’s government in Malawi. On Friday, the executive issued an announcement saying that Chief Justice Andrew Nyirenda and other senior judges had been put on leave, pending retirement, with immediate effect. That met strong resistance over the weekend and a series of statements was issued supporting the judiciary and urging the government to back off from infringing judicial independence.

2- 4 March 2020 - JIFA facilitated the "Introduction to Core Skills" course for members of the Competition and Consumer Tribunal of Botswana.
