Job cuts at Castel Malawi: Brewer retrenches 300 workers

Castel Malawi says it set to retrench 300 workers because of harsh economic climate in the country.

Mbilizi: Losses

Senior brands manager for Castel Malawi Titha Mbilizi said the company has been posting losses in the past 10 years.

“We can no longer avoid the retrenchments because of the volatile economic climate. We continue posting the losses,” said Mbilizi.

Castel Malawi are brewers of the most favourite beer in Malawi, Carlsberg as well as non-alcoholic drinks such as sobo.

Mbilizi said priority for retrenchment would go to those with a record of poor performance, those with disciplinary records, those who were about to retire and those whose positions were no longer relevant to the company.

Mbilizi said those retrenched will get a full retrenchment package which include severance allowance.

This is just the beginning. Should we perhaps start pointing fingers? Maybe. Maybe not. It could be two early or too late. But we all know that: Political climate = Economic climate. The two have a symbiotic relationship (though the latter solely depends on the former). Could Castell have been waiting in the wings and watching? That much we will not know – “harsh economic climate” does not leave much room for explanation. Though it does raise a question: why now if losses having piling for the past 10 years (all inclusive)? Sad news for our country already over-burdened by… Read more »

Mwangobapo apa. Every company, organisation etc is involved in kuba and katangale.For example, you ask someone , a builder to construct a house for you, he steals half the materials and builds his own house! All the while they are claiming to be God fearing people. In Malawi, christianity is just a mask to cover up their sins.Oh yes,You know who you are. Everyone involved in corruption will one day get their just deserts.
