Racist MacTubukaFace if you are not from Nsanje you are misinformed. its not all people in Nsanje who eat mphenembe . Nyika, has not been eaten in Nsanje as a staple food. Its only in desparate times like these that those who can not afford to buy the staple food would resort to such wild plants that are edible for survival .

You lie so easily. Why? Is it foolishness or ignorance. General Farming had 47 estates each growing on average 80 ha. with an average yield of 70 bags per hectare. They were 90 kg bags. Beside GFC there were many commercial farms in Kasungu Mchinji Lilongwe Mbalachanda Bwengu Mangochi growing maize which they sold to ADMARC.
