I love Sana, but I just wish they would keep their shops clean. Unclean shops can really ruin your shopping experience. They are not up to par with their competitors Game and Shoprite or even locally owned shops like Chipiku and Peoples If they have money to expand then they should have enough money to keep their shops clean.
Rauf, I knew him way back1996 wen he was based at Nkhotakota with just one small shop. A very humble,hard working man.
That was 22yrs ago.
Yes hard working pays not quick money.

Job is job whether for middle class or otherwise since not all the people have the same qualiifications and skills. Is Chilima not vindicated when some Thomases keep saying creating 1 million jobs in a year is not possible?
These 100, 400, 800 jobs pay 30,000 a month sick and tired of hearing this can we be creating middle classes when china talks of job creation they speaking of a raising middle class! Lets be creating Millionaires in this 21st cen. these indians and Chinese don’t mask as with these jobs creations you mistreat, underpay and overwork locals!! Time to see the bigger picture now
They indeed mistreat, underpay and overwork local Malawians. On the other hand, illegal Asians will be working in these places as HR managers, financial managers and Auditors, and to succeed in recruiting illegal Asians, they will bend knees of Immigration officers.
