The High Court in Lilongwe has scheduled February 12, 2025, for a mediation session in a case where Judge Kenan Manda is seeking K250 million in compensation from prominent lawyer Alexious Kamangila over Facebook posts that allegedly accused him of fraudulent conduct.
According to the notice of mediation, the session will take place at 11:30 am in Judge Semion Mdeza’s chambers.
The development comes after the High Court issued an interlocutory injunction in October last year, restraining Kamangila from making any statements about Judge Manda until further notice.
In civil cases, mediation is typically an optional step where a neutral third party facilitates a discussion between both parties to explore potential compromises and determine if the matter can be settled out of court.
If mediation fails, the case proceeds to trial under a different judge.
