At the time when sugar disease is a problem in the country, the last thing you need to promote is sugar. The RSA government imposed tax on sugar to reduce sugar intake by its population. Here we are promoting intake. Besides, sugar in Malawi is the most expensive in the region way above the world price and you cry for protection to ring fence your profits and promote your inefficiencies. Besides, you demotivate all your malawian managers and glorify the uneducated white south africans. You guys have gone away with murder for too long

A typical lie from you marketers- lies that mwayiponyela kwakuya to benefit all. You come up with all these funny names so that you still drain poor pockets to your company’s advantage. If it’s true you want all to benefit, reduce the price of sugar for a week or a month with a few tambalas so that every jack n Jill in Malawi can. cash in from your funny names
Winners of these promotions are usually rehearsed
