Aku north ingophatikizanani ndi Tanzania. Malawi sikuthandizani. Dziko la lomwe ili silipindula anta.

Being grateful to Bingu Wa Mutharika for giving the company a concession on Lake Malawi and other infrastructure projects, Mota Engil built NDATA MANSION
The problem is not per se the concessions but rather the secrecy and potential corruption.

But, Malawi has a very good example of a concession that has been there since independence and no one has ever complained about it. Carlsberg Malawi is a concession. Has anyone asked how many years it is? And whether it… Read more »
