So are you telling me that kayelekera closed bcaz of energy shortage and not low uranium price? Which one is which here. Secondly the Geologists Association of Malawi headed by the so called HILTON Banda. When did it start? Who elected him? Ask any geologist in Malawi he will tell you the association doesnot exist.
