this order shld also go to importation of labour. Too many indians in our country misquandering as graduates.

Iwe Peter…instead of complaining on the issue like a little girl, how you take leadership in asking the question “why”; in this case, why are products that are easily grown in Ntcheu, Thyolo, Chitipa, etc less appealing to buyers than those imported by Supermarkets? Now get to work, will you?
