The British High Commissioner, Michael Nevin, on Thursday did a stretch with Brendan Rendall, a British gentleman who is, among...
True CFTC an example is SPAR in city centre where people queued for a very long time to get food and the tagged the price only to find that at the till it was almost 35% up and embarrassingly they had just to abandon the food disappointed. Malawians are being taken for granted. Am sure that food was recycled.
The CFTC spokesperson says, “The Commission will take stern measures to deal with any supermarket that CONTINUES to engage in such malpractices.” So there is one law for the rich supermarket owners, and another law for the poor – as usual. If there is evidence that a poor person has committed a crime – theft – he is punished. If a rich supermarket owner commits theft, he is told, “Don’t let it happen again.

Go to Mzuzu Shoprite, opp katoto filling station, that’s what they are doing right now. They’ll simply reply its factory fault as if factory is responsible for attaching price stickers on products.
That is interesting about Mzuzu Shoprite. One more reason for me not to go there.
I do not doubt your allegation, but can you give some examples of the criminality which you have experienced there?
Myself, I go to Shoprite only when I really, really need to because I find that their prices are higher than elsewhere, such as PTC or the market. Whenever I do go, I see some people there only to buy the likes of ufresh, which can be found cheaper at other shops, and I wonder why they do that.
These thieves have been unearthed. Why are their names being hidden? And what has the law done?
