This is ironic. Malawi wake up! You are busy implementing what the zunguzi say. You did the same with cigarette some years back and ended up importing it from Mozambique.

Zinazi osagwira ntchito as if you are robots. You went to school so that you should be able to reason. This is Malawi. What type of bag do you think owotcha chipisi should be using? What aboput the cost? These are people that are barely surviving. Life is given by the Almighty not not your environmental bra bra. Dr Kamperewera thought because he feared plastics he was not going to die but where is he?
