The ‘investment security profile for Malawi is very competitive’ ? Malawi may have come second in Africa for upholding the rule of law, which is commendable. Investors can be secure that their assets will not be abruptly seized, and so on. However, that hardly translates to a ‘competitive’ environment for doing business. For that, better take a look at the World Bank Doing Business Index – where Malawi comes a miserable 164th globally (down 1 place from last year). It takes a mind-bogglingly ridiculous 38 days to register a business – and that’s just on the ‘official’ measure! Transparency International’s… Read more »

We need industries that can manufacture goods 24/7. If we are mining we should also turn the minerals into finished products and the projected energy demand for the mining and manufacturing sectors is well beyond 1900 MW.
