This isnthe trend with most whites especially from South Africa. Look at companies being heades by south african immigrants whites, they have no respect for man of the color. Check in Press Corporation where an org is headed by m’buno, the style is the same. Executivea being called stupids by these guys.
Thats why they must be fought out of the black systems

This man Bainbridge even challenged the previous minister of trade JM. I agree he is arrogant. Ma minister inu mukumangozi yangana izi? Do something. Tilipamabvuto my illovo Kuno. We have only had white md’s in the past but eesh this white is the worst one ever.

Just live with it. Everyone is going clean wage these days. If you don’t want leave the jobs and we will ably replace you. I am not sure anyone who is advising you thinks you have grounds for a strike over change in pay structure and one does not become a racist for making decisions resulting from powers in his position…kwinakutu kumakhala kusamva chizungu…iyaaaaa

100% agree. Malawian of a certain class feel that it is normal for the employer to buy them a car every four years which the company fuels and services and then sell it a book value to the beneficiary employee; pay their children’s school fees at some expensive schools; give them a phone and airtime, etc etc…. Soon people will want companies to buy them a house. One wonders what these entitled people are supposed to be doing with their salaries. This entitlement culture needs to be stopped and it’s good that some companies are doing just that. No surprise… Read more »

Idiot u chemussa. U obviously don’t work here. If u did you would understand the grievances of the staff. We miss pat Mitchell and Ray deAllenda. Those had Malawian people in their interests. Even other managing directors cared for us. Not this bafoon benbridge.

This country should vet expats that will fit into society and not expats that are or think that they are better than the rest. The only thing that Mark Bainbridge is better that me is because he is the MD. Other than that, the only difference to me is that I have am black and he is white, but we both have red blood, both have 2 legs 2 hands 2 eye etc. So no need to treat malawians lesser than you.

Mark Barnbrigde is a racest. He is arrogant and chalenges that he is AB F sono one can touch him. He even bad mouths top govt officials but we are scared to be victimized if we speak. Another very racest person is Gerald Garson. He is a bad man and has been here for 16 years. On what grounds does he get work permits for so long. Are malawians so incompetence? Bainbridge achoke. Munthu opanda umunthu.

You’re upset that a company owned by South Africans employs South Africans? Be serious please.

Ooops. The problem is the government that does not want to protect its people. There are lots of educated Malawians that can do what most uneducated expatriates are doing. Some of the so called expatriates were evicted from Mozambique and Zambia because of their poor education and proudly accommodated in the warm heart of Africa. It’s not only the MD terrorizing employees. The situation in the estates is very bad. Expatriates like Keith Domleo and Steven ‘re la Harpe are real are IS terrorists and resists. They do not see anything good in Malawians. Keith is actually employing his own… Read more »
