A COURT has granted an injunction stopping the deportation of the parents of two young children who fled Malawi because of an alleged threat by their grandfather to violate "a virgin from his own bloodline".

The threat came from the grandfather after a witchdoctor said this would be the way to cure his HIV infection, it was claimed.
