Prior to the 2020 presidential elections in Malawi, several political parties formed an electoral alliance called "Tonse" to challenge the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP). They accused the DPP of committing various wrongdoings. However, within two and a half years of their term, cracks appeared in the alliance, causing some members to leave while others remained. We sought the opinion of Khumbo Kachale, the former Vice President of Malawi and President of the Freedom Party, which is a member of the "Tonse" alliance.

Only South African government officials with intimate knowledge of the case against Shepherd Bushiri will be required to testify in a Malawian court. The South African Justice department says that as the case is not a criminal trial, only those with knowledge of the extradition case will be required to present themselves. #dstv403
