A Tuberculosis (TB) patient who was caught stealing beddings at Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital (QECH) has been convicted and slapped with suspended jail sentence by the Blantyre Magistrates Court.
The patient, 44-year-old Frank Duli was arrested together with his wife Sungeni Duli, 40, on 9th October by QECH security officers.
According to details presented in court, Frank Duli was admitted to the hospital in September this year after being diagnosed with TB. And whilst in the hospital, together with his wife, he started stealing blankets and bedcovers within ward 3A.
He was caught on Tuesday (11th October) after one of the patients raised the alarm. The couple appeared in court on Wednesday but denied the theft charge.
First Grade Magistrate Diana convicted and sentenced Frank Duli to four months imprisonment with hard labour but suspended the sentence for 12 months- in which Duli should not commit any felony.
In another case, police in Blantyre are keeping in custody five people connected to the theft that took place at Seventh Day Adventist (South Malawi Field) Office in Sunnyside, Blantyre where computers and smart phones were stolen.
Blantyre police deputy Public Relations Officer, Andrew Mayawo said the five stole four sets of HP computers, one set of Dell Computer, three laptops, Blackberry and Itel smart-phones as well as Samsung Tablet.
The five have been identified as Clever Gomani, 28, James Chipojola, 47, 28-year-old Yohane Mwachuka, Chimwemwe Ligwetsa, 27, and Dickens Napara, 28.
When arrested, the suspects were found with three sets of HP computers, Dell Laptop, Omega TV screen, plasma TV, two sound speakers, JVC music system, two DVD players, a mixer and assorted computer accessories.
“Some of the items were sold in Milanje. We urge those in Blantyre who were victims of robbery to come to our offices and identify some of the items we have recovered,” said Mayawo.
The five will arraign in court next week on Robbery charge contrary to Section 301 of the Penal Code.
One of the most serious threats to indigenous plants is the introduction of invasive non–native species by landscapers after new developments are built. In this unique guide, ecologist Margaret B. Gargiullo presents a detailed look at the full scope of flora that is native to this region and available for propagation. Geared specifically for landscape architects, designers, land managers, and restorationists, this book offers practical advice on how to increase the amount of indigenous flora growing in the metropolitan area, and in some cases, to reintroduce plants that have completely disappeared.
More than one hundred line drawings of plants and their specific habitats, ranging from forests to beaches, help readers visualize the full potential for landscaping in the area. A separate entry for each plant also provides detailed information on size, flower color, blooming time, and its possible uses in wetland mitigation, erosion control, and natural area restoration. Some plants are also highlighted for their ability to thrive in areas that are typically considered inhospitable to greenery.
Easily searchable by plant type or habitat, this guide is an essential reference for everyone concerned with the region's natural plant life. Since most of the plants can also be grown well beyond the New York City metropolitan area, this book will also be useful for project managers doing restoration work in most of southern New England and the mid-Atlantic region, including Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Maryland.

Some Catholic bishops have been critical of Duterte's brutal crackdown against illegal drugs, which have left thousands of suspects dead in reported clashes with the police, along with his vulgar and expletives-laden speeches. He once called Pope Francis a "son of a bitch" for sparking a monstrous traffic jam during a 2015 visit in Manila that trapped Duterte for hours.
