Malawian

A top official in one of South Africa's biggest political parties has been sacked after he visited a controversial Malawian pastor in April.

Malawian traders like Jeniffa Mshani said they preferred agricultural goods from Tanzania because it was easier and more affordable to source them across the border.

"We have to pray as Malawians. Those of us that believe depend on a God who opens doors when one is closed," she told the BBC.

The South African military said nine of its soldiers died helping to push back a rebel advance on the city of Goma, in eastern DR Congo, while three Malawians and a Uruguayan were also killed.

She was born in Welkom, in Free State province, to a Malawian father and a Zulu mother.
