I believe completely in mining what atupele muluzi is saying is 100% correct because we have had 50 solid years thinking that agriculture can develop our economy look where we are now I am pretty happy because I am working with mining industry here south Africa as locomotive driver now I have positive ideas on how this man is targeting at I know how my fellow Malawian can think about negative about this but this will create jobs for fellow Malawians of which now they are in poverty. In mining companies .ie the kayelekera mine if we checked the stastics… Read more »

If young people joining politics in and taking up leadership positions are not going to question things from fundamental basis and follow common mistakes then Malawi next 50 years will be failed as the past 50 years. What is the fundamental basis to justify an extractive industry such as mining to be the future of any country? Malawi is looking to young talents to bring about new kind of thought process to lift the country out of economic stagnation. Policies of agriculture, extractive mining, forestation etc never developed a country. I get very frustrated with how over the years Africa/Malawi… Read more »

That is just rhetoric : Agriculture and mining has never developed a country ? Laugh out loud… Those are the driving forces behind economy and as every government always make it a priority to protect those two sectors no matter whichever bilateral agreement there is with another country and there u r saying those two sectors dont mean a damn thing ! wats wrong with u?

Malawians we are very useless people we talk of conserving tree yet electricity our main source of power is very expensive. Point 1 1. Reduce cost of electricity charges so that use of charcoal / makala will be greatly reduce. We know mumadya ndalama za escom Koma pliz reduce the cost of electricity it is too much Point number 2 We talk of revenue from mining but we are not willing to tell the public the dangers or results or bad effects of mining, Countries doing mining are facing natural disasters like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions so with Malawi to… Read more »

First of all we cannot say that electricity is the energy alternative for charcoal perhaps if u say natural gas that makes sense… 2ndly ESCOM like any other companies is there to maximise their profits and u shouldnt expect them to decrease the price of electricity and despite all this crap ur saying here, Malawi has one of the cheapest electricity in the world and I think this isnt good for us, there needs to be an increase in the price which will benefit us in the long term… 3rdly those western countries own the expertise and state of art… Read more »

I don’t support that idea of mining since I do not see any tangible benefit Andale ndi omwe amalemela. Bingu earned billion from kayelekera and up to now nobody is following up to know how much he pocketed. What a shame

The main reason we are not into mining is that there is not adequate electricity. Supply the electricity, then I believe we shall be amazed by the development which will take place with the mining of rare earth and bauxite.

The major problem is that WE ARE STILL RELAYING ON THE OLD MACHINES WHICH OUR BELOVED LATE KAMUZU BANDA BUILT.SEEK NEW SITES WHERE H.E.P.CAN ALSO BE PRODUCED,OTHER THAN RELAYING ON NKHULA,TEDZANI ETC.THANKS TO THE LATE KAMUZU BANDA FOR THESE UNIQUE VISIONS WHICH SOME LEADERS ARE FAILING TO PERCEIVE.CAN’T YOU FIND OTHERS WATERFALLS ON the following rivers: Dwangwa,Songwe,Rukuru,Wamkulumazdi etc,so that companies other than ESCOM can venture into producing the same power?Go to Mchenga Coal Mine,you will see that their Manager diverted some of the water from a small stream but it is able to cater a part of their work there.We… Read more »
