Around 4pm all cane cutters were so happy for they completed cane harvesting without any challenge on this year’s harvest. I met one of the cutters who told me that he was so happy because this year harvest has gone perfect and they are leaving for their respective homes to do other activities like preparing their garden for it is about rainy season. Farmers are too happy because other years harvesting had some challenges like wild fire, rainfall after cutting before haulage.

Early morning at a certain house there was a crowd of people to see demonic aircraft that crashed on the roof of a certain man.

In Malawi it was unlawful to accuse someone that he/ she flies demonically, but due to increase cases of children taught witchcraft and eat human fresh magically it is now a crime.
