BLANTYRE-(MaraviPost)-The Football Association of Malawi (FAM) has released the findings of its Commission of Inquiry into allegations of sexual harassment against Daud Mtanthiko, the Head of Delegation for the Scorchers tour of South Africa.
According to FAM President Fleetwood Haiya, the commission found that while Mtanthiko was given access to the complainant’s room, there was insufficient evidence to prove sexual harassment.
The complainant, Haz Mbizi, had reportedly deleted text messages related to the incident before lodging her complaint, which limited the evidence available for investigation.
Based on the findings, FAM has concluded that Mtanthiko is “not guilty” of the allegations.
However, Mtanthiko remains suspended and will face the FAM Disciplinary Committee to answer charges related to breach of guidelines.
Additionally, FAM will await a report from the Malawi Human Rights Commission (MHRC), which is conducting an independent inquiry into the matter.
