Poor safety management system. In Malawi we do not have a system of infrastructure audit. Its what our engineers should push for instead of just staying phwiiii. You wonder what Malawi Institute is there for… certainly not inspecting building, build could potentially advocate for such..
So sad. too beautiful to die.
