      One of the pardoned gay partners in Malawi, Stoneck aka 'Aunt Tiwo' Tiwonge Chimbalanga is reportedly missing. His uncle, village headman Chimbalanga speaking from his village in Thyolo District confirmed the matters. He said Aunt Tiwo arrived in the village at 9pm at night after he and his colleague, Steven monjeza, received a presidential pardon.

      A visit to his former working place also yielded no results.

      President Bingu wa Mutharika pardoned the two on 'humanitarian grounds; and said homosexuality is still against the laws of Malawi.
