As reported yesterday, VOMI Radars can reveal that attempts by MEC to fly in South African lawyers they have hired for representation in the Presidential elections appeal case, failed at eleventh hour on Sunday.

Our immigration sources say this is because their chartered flight was refused airspace in Mozambique in light of travel restrictions imposed due to the Corona virus pandemic in that country.

The lawyers are wanted before a Special tribunal of the Chief Justice looking into a MEC application for admission of the foreign lawyers to practice in Malawi.

MEC lawyer Tamando Chokotho told us, instead, the lawyers will follow the special court proceedings via Video conference.
