Isaac Mndala

Superintendent Isaac Mndala is a police officer in Malawi known for his role in the Criminal Investigations Department. He gained attention for swearing an affidavit that supported a police warrant for the arrest of former Minister of Trade Vitumbiko Mumba, claiming that Mumba's remarks during a press briefing amounted to 'publication of false news likely to cause fear and alarm to the public.' Mndala's actions have raised serious concerns about the policing of political speech and dissent in Malawi's post-election climate.
