Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>A 24-year-old man has been sentenced to a year in prison for attempting to sell his uncle for 150,000 Malawi Kwacha. The convict has been identified as Sekerani Brighton.<\/p>\n

State Prosecutor, Sub Inspector Thokozani Juziwell, told the Nkhotakota First Grade Magistrate last month Brighton offered to sell his uncle, Lemson Malichi for MK150 000.<\/p>\n

Brighton approached a man to buy the uncle saying he would be able to work as a slave. The man was surprised with the kind of business and reported the matter to Mkaika Police Unit.<\/p>\n

In court, Brighton pleaded guilty to the charge of attempting to sell a human being. He asked the court to be lenient as he is a breadwinner in his family. First Grade Magistrate Felix Phaiya sentenced him to a year in prison.<\/p>\n
