The Evangelical Association of Malawi says religious leaders have not been fully consulted in the new Covid19 regulations that have been announced by government.

In an interview, Reverend Zacc Kawalala, chairperson for Ethics Peace and Justice Commission of the association has told MIJ Online that failure to consult by government on Covid-19 regulations would be less effective.

Brazilian legend, Ronaldinho is expected to be allowed to return to Brazil, bringing his five-month prison hell to an end over fake passport scandal in Paraguay.

Back in March, the former AC Milan and Barcelona legend was caught up in a scandal after entering Paraguay with fake documents along with his brother.

In a new report by The Sun, Ronaldinho has been offered freedom and an escape from trial in exchange for a £70,000 cash payment following his fake passport scandal arrest.

His brother, Roberto de Assis Moreira is also expected to be allowed to leave with him if a judge accepts a new prosecution proposal based around a two-year suspended jail sentence and a £85,000 fine.


Both men would have to plead guilty to a charge of entering the country with falsified passports as part of a so-called deal called a ‘salida process’ in Paraguay, according to reports in the South American country.

In April, the 40-year-old told Paraguayan daily ABC Color that the first thing he will do when he recovers his freedom is give his doting mum Miguelina “a big kiss”.

Africa number of coronavirus cases exceed 1 million

There is panic across the continent as the number of confirmed coronavirus cases in Africa has exceeded 1 million with experts saying the number may be way higher.

Global health experts have said that the true number of Africa’s coronavirus cases may be several times higher, considering the continent’s poor testing and counting facilities.


More than 22,000 people have so far died of COVID-19 in Africa, with South Africa accounting for the highest number – 10,210 deaths as on Sunday 9, 2020.

Five African countries account for 75% of all confirmed cases of coronavirus in Africa: South Africa, Egypt, Nigeria, Ghana and Algeria.


Often regarded as Africa’s most developed country, South Africa is currently struggling to cope with the pandemic as confirmed cases pass half-million, ranking fifth in the world.

According to the Director of Africa CDC, Dr John Nkengasong, Nigeria could have had close to 1 million cases by now if it hadn’t acted quickly.


With an estimated population of over 200 million people, according to recent UN data, Nigeria is Africa’s most populous country. But it has somehow done better than South Africa in containing the pandemic. Or could it be a case of undercounting?

South Africa has the most extensive coronavirus testing and data collection facilities in Africa. The country is already running out hospital bed space, reports say.

Earlier this month, Lagos State, the Nigerian city with most cases of the virus, shut down one of its isolation centres.


“We have got to a stage where we need to balance the economics of this and which of these facilities do we need to keep running. Some of them now are having less than 20 per cent of occupancy,” the governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu said.

As usual practice, relatives of those discharged from the Oyo state isolation centre were waiting outside to pick up their loved one.

Among those waiting, was a man who also happens to be a pastor, he was waiting for his daughter who had just tested negative to the virus.

After being discharged, instead of moving with her dad, the young lady opted to leave with a soldier, who was waiting on a motorcycle.

The soldier was also a COVID-19 patient, and her dad approached him to understand what was going on.

According to TheCable, the lady was ultimately taken away on the motorcycle while her father left the centre in annoyance.

The father told the media outlet that his daughter began exhibiting a wayward attitude after graduating from school.


“She is my second child but after her graduation from the school of statistics, she refused to come home. I only got to know that she had been isolated at the centre through a relative she confided in. I am a man of God and I will continue to pray for her,” he said.
