BLANTYRE-(MaraviPost)-The country’s Supreme Court of Appeal has formally confirmed business tycoon Thomson Mpinganjira’s case withdrawal and appeal removal.

This means the business tycoon is officially a free man from any criminal charges.

Mpinganjira appealed to the Supreme Court on September 10, 2021 conviction for offering advantages to public officers.

He was however subsequently released on bail in 2022 pending the determination of his appeal before the Supreme Court.

The withdrawal came after former President Lazarus Chakwera exercised his constitutional powers to grant Mpinganjira a presidential pardon during the country’s 61st Independence Day celebrations.
