Far too much deforestation has taken place in Malawi as people look for firewood, and land for building is cleared. The Government should be encouraging the planting of trees. Once again we have an example of promises not kept. Surely an exercise such as tree planting is an important part of development. Who will look after our beautiful country if the Government does not?
So INTERNSHIP HAS FAILED AND TREE PLANTING HAS FAILED, kodi a dpp nzeru mulibe, this is the most stupid govt ever and they should go now we have had enough of their stupidity tricks, malawians have woken up and 2019 you will see.
