Kamuzu Banda's son arrested for insulting Mutharika

This brings to five the number of people arrested this year on charges of insulting the Malawian leader. Police publicist for central Malawi assistant superintendent John Namalenga told a local radio station, Zodiak Broadcasting Station, that 38-year-old Johansson was arrested for insulting the president as he drove past his official residence in the capital Lilongwe.

"Jimani will appear before the court soon," the police publicist told the radio station. He added that Johansson said the president is an imbecile who is killing poor Malawians and deserves nothing but death.
