I don’t see whats the problem. Standard Bank is an international company, thus it can afford to bring in expatriates as managers when the local performance is not good. I’m a Standard Bank customer, but when I walk in to any Standard Bank branch, I can only see long queues and inefficient service. Its good that expat can come and train Malawian managers how to improve their skills. This is all about profit for the business as a whole. The complaints you are seeing here are due to corruption. I can’t even understand why this story should be on a… Read more »

Malawian bosses are lazy and thieves. Look at how NBS Bank was brought down by the same Malawian thieving bosses who give loans to their mafia friends and girlfriends. Look at how Malawian finance directors are siphoning funds. Its better to employ a foreigner who is committed to the bank’s mission than those who pursue individual agenda. Those who feel intelligent and sidelined should go and open their own banks like what Mpinganjira did. If Temwani Simwaka was confirmed I tell you the whole Standard Bank would have been tumbukaised in no time at all.

Mr. San Banda has put it correctly that: “I don’t see whats the problem. Standard Bank is an international company, thus it can afford to bring in expatriates as managers when the local performance is not good”. And would add that it is doubtful that “tumbukanisation” would have happen at Standard Bank. Malawians from the north are very conscious of this act of employing a person from one of their ethnic grouping. They know that people elsewhere look at them with disdain because of that issue. Standard Bank is an international bank where one’s recruitment or appointment does not dwell… Read more »

Its the issue of std bank. Just sort out your own mess at the bank rather than crying for public attention
We will just assist you in prayers. We just talking, what their qualifications and year of experience so that we can establish a sense of logic?

Fact is, we as Malawian customers see a leaned back attitude when it comes to employees, especially in Banks and public offices! Fact is, that the productivity of a labour force , starting from a CEO (look at our President) up to casual labourer is one of the lowest in the world!
Banker, let’s hope you can add 5 and 5 together! If you want to work for a international player like Standard Bank, unfortunately you have to perform! If not, the foreigner will eat you.. mean your job!

Malawians, let us listen carefully to the cry of our fellow Malawians. The name of the new CEO sounds like he was there at Standard Bank sometime back. Phillip Madinga and Paul Guta were far much better than him. I hope he is not the same guy. The bank has been frustrating Malawians. Apart from the two I have mentioned above, William Chatsala was also frustrated there. If it is their policy that the locals should not head the bank, can they tells how many Malawians are CEOs of this bank and in which countries? Please Home Affairs do not… Read more »

Bring another expatriate to deal with long queues with only 2 tellers working. That is what Malawian managers are giving us. Most banks have advanced technologically mo626, mobile banking etc but standard bank is still in the dark ages. Bring another expatriate who.will shout at them.at the top of his/ her voice.

Just stand up against your bosses. Thats an internal issue just like your supper high salaries are your individual and organisational issue. No reason to rally all Malawians to stand up against the said bosses. Tasovani zimenezo komweko.
