Mdima,nsanje,matenda,umphawi koma tikhala?How are we people with small business that relies on Escom going to survive?I feed my family from the small salon business after long job hunting.We have been told to brace ourselves for hardtimes by headhoncho wamutharika.So how do you expect people to survive if everything is not working?Malawi is really a failed state at the moment with this visionless Dpp.

Lake Malawi drying up! My fellow Malawians this is not a laughing matter. Imagine these season we again have a drought? How I wish the Kammwamba coal-fired electricity generation project started yesterday. In the mean time let each of us the 17 millions Malawians pour 5 litres of water into Lake Malawi may be it may raise its levels a bit. Hahaha nanga solution yake nkutani amangwetu?

An efficient and reliable power supply is absolutely essential if Malawi is to improve its economy. The current situation is disastrous for the country. What does the government have to say on the subject, nothing! It is all very well developing and building new roads around Lilongwe, but something urgently needs to be done to remedy ESCOM’s inability to supply adequate power to the country. Do the members of the government suffer power outages? I doubt it very much. They will have generator backup.

Connect to Caborabassa mozambique…
Yes will have to pay for it but atleast we will have power.Once we have capacity invite investors to open industries,iniciate tax holidays to attract investors and put Malawi in a competetive market,make finished products for export and local consumption.

If we can’t afford to give power to the country then industry will have no choice then to eithe4 close down or resort to Generators which use significant amounts of diesel.which means diesel imports grow and still more forex will go out to pay for fuel…Gentlemen it’s we connect to Moz grid…
