Agundika a Lomwe tsopano,they are all over the place as if Malawians will benefit,tsankho tho mmitu yawo yakudayo. You think investors can waste time in a country where total energy output is not even 400 megawatts with intermittent blackouts impinging electricity supply? These Lomwe ministers must know that you can’t beckon investors before homework in energy and transport infrastructure is done.They must also be reminded that there are competing countries within the region that offer a better climate for investment and therefore European or other investors would rather be destined to such countries because when you invest it means you… Read more »

Reckoning new well wısher into Malawi. Interesting. indeed. Will these new investors compete in Malawi with the bunch of ´well wıshers´ who evade tax in the eyes of government and in the end produce cheaper product to lead the market? level the playing fıeld and stop corruption first. You will see us Malawians coming up with plausible investments.

Can someone clarify for me what the author means by”capitalist mixed economy”? My little knowledge of economic systems tells me there is no pure capitalist economy; not even the world’s largest economy: USA

At least we sent people who have some knowledge in how to woo investors unlike in the last trip to the USA where it was our president who did it and clearly does not have the skills to do such work. This is our country and we need such investments. It’s high time we Malawians started supporting positive moves rather than just criticizing everything.

Was there any talk of investment in the media circles by the Spanish investors?

We need that, seriously.

Luring more well wishers to join the band wagon. I doubt if european investors would find it easy to do business in Malawi as it is difficult to compete with well wishers’businesses that evade tax and at the same time recieve favours from government which makes their products cheap in the end. Level the playing field first and tiyamba ndife a Malawi to initiate the investment you are touting here

Politics in africa doesnt tally with business, more especially in malawi, the combo always results in corruption or some other form of deflauding government. Business people should meet business people to discuss business not a politician to meet a business person to discuss corruption and government deflauding ways or how they should be donating to their party etc examples are kayekela, mota engineering whatever you call it and many more. Dont we have some investment forumn or trade union to take care of this? I look at this as another waisted government money through allowances and hotel bills for the… Read more »

Wow,the Spanish are not friendly in general and difficult to live with. Ask the people from Central and south America. Even just with few already in the country as missionaries.

Nonsense! If the Spaniards are interested in investing in Malawi how come they don’t come to Malawi but instead Ministers and Officials from Malawi should go to South Africa to meet them. Waste of government money. This lomwe team is crazy,.
