A Malawi High Court has dismissed a 15-year wrongful termination case against United States pop star Madonna's charity, Raising Malawi. According to NAMPA and AFP, the lawsuit was brought by Anjimire Oponyo, the sister of former President Joyce Banda. Oponyo challenged her 2011 removal from the charity's board following allegations of financial mismanagement. The court's dismissal brings a conclusion to one of the country's longest-running legal disputes involving a non-governmental organisation.
Update: Discussions are underway for a potential out-of-court settlement in the legal battle concerning the redeployment of four embattled police commissioners. Nyasa Times reports that lawyer Khumbo Soko, representing Christopher Katani, Rhoda Manjolo, Emmanuel Soko, and Chikondi Chingadza, confirmed the High Court in Lilongwe has adjourned the matter to March 25 to allow for negotiations. Attorney General Frank Mbeta stated that the government is currently considering the settlement proposal, which stems from the commissioners' claims that their new assignments sidelined them and lacked clear operational responsibilities.
