Gambling causes loss of fortunes overnight and destroys the lives of families. Furthermore this is another place for criminals, drug pushers and prostitutes to gather. Reader be warned. I can’t understand how Lilongwe City Council should grant a license to such a place. Malawi is one of the poorest countries in the world. How can we allow this to happen here? Citizens of Malawi should vote to abolish this and other casinos.
