“Brutal Crackdown of Corruption Critics
On the surface it may appear that a Joswa is facing Defamation Case.
That’s for children looking for Candy.
The insistence to Sue & Demand for both Apology & Cash is to silence voices of reason in our unwavering criticism of administration infested with Corruption, Maladministration, Disorganization and Incompetence.
A Joswa, Mneneri wa Mulungu is among Malawians who speaks truth to power against corruption”.
