The guy has duped the government of Malawi for a long time.They have been cases in the courts of Malawi but this man had to pay at all costs both the lawyers and the Judge and win cases. The thyolo boy once twisted the Judges left and right center and danced to his tune.Tobacco goes abroad and cash the money and deposit into his own Accounts and tell the staff that he had gone for meetings. There is one lady he goes about with at Auction Holdings Limited and the highly rose up her ranks and the new CEO must… Read more »

Go and search to his house of evans Matabwa you will be shocked. The guy has stolen and sticking rich.The guy gave peter his uncle a lot of money from AHL and introduced small companies of chemicals just to still from the government. He has not been retired but sacked off though too late. Count how many houses he has built.Tobacco money is being received abroad and Evans has account there. Germany, Uk and usa. This is too late for Chakwera and Chilima to sack him.They are good friends with Felix Jumbe of Admarc.

This is overdue removal of Matabwa at AHL. The guy is a complete thief and gave DDP government K98m for Peter to win elections the time of Joyce Banda. Tonse alliance are too young for keeping Dpp Cadets. Visit NFRA, SHFRF -Small holder fertilizer and go to Capital hill, Research Stations,Seeds Companies etc

Which Nkhono are you talking about Bigman. I have known Alfred Nkhono as very humble, extremely hardworking, honest manager. He was not provided resources at Press Agriculture otherwise the company could not have been where it is. There are bad Chief Executives like Isyagi who went to Press Agriculture and totally failed. In my personal opinion you cant compare this pompous and good for nothing Evans Matabwa who has wrecked Auction Holdings and brought it to its knees. Give Nkhono time, he will clean that place. Am sure the Directors of AHL have not made a mistake in replacing Matabwa… Read more »

Bigman, you are not being truthful. if there is a CEO that anchored Press Agriculture Limited amidst serious challenges, its the Nkhono you wrongly acuse. Ask us who are employees of Press Agriculture. You can even check with the Press Trust you are talking about or the Board Members who were on the Board of Press Agriculture in his time one by one if you are honest with your opinion. That gentleman ndiwanzeru

Matabwa’s dismissal is long overdue. This guy has ran down what used to be a blue chip company. In 2018 the Group made a K44 billion loss and the ceo was untouchable. Tonse govt please institute a forensic audit.

The losses by ahl r mindboggling. How do borrow millions to set up a commodity exchange and fail. U set up a leaf buying company and fail. This has to be the biggest fraud malawi has ever seen. Follow the money. This is nigerian style looting.

For sure, MLCL and AHCX, AHL Chemicals and Steel were deliberately formed to defraud government, it was deliberate move by Matabwa and his DPP cronies who have shared what they have looted at AHL. Those companies have never produced profits up to now but he was maintaining them as if all is well.

Nkhono mismanaged Press Agriculture big time. Ask Press Trust.
