So poor villagers do not deserve better prices. Do you really understand the pain we get here in the village to earn MK100 yogulira mchere, aspirin komanso macheso. Think twice. Most regulations stigmatize against grave diggers/villagers.

This is for all foreigners be it Nigerians, Burundis, Rwandese, Congolese, Chinese, Indians etc. Secondly, the US$250,000 is the minimum capital requirement. Licences fees in Malawi for foreigners are at K60,000.

Is government going to open Peoples in all rural areas every 1km? This will just worsen the problem. Our rural areas are already dead zones. Why not ban Nigerians in cities operating as owners of hawker stands? Did the government do a research to ask the people in rural areas or they just woke up and started acting like Nankhumwa.

this is xenophobia, and it will hurt the poor Malawians out there! why can they not compete? why can they not negotiate deals. the rural economy cannot afford prices offered by local traders. how do the foreigners manage to offer lower prices? the market should be efficient, with the lowest possible prices for the consumer. if local traders cannot make it, let them fold. open competition is what will give the customer the best deal.

About time now that all businesses should have EFD machines. The playing field should be parallel. MRA should be collecting tax from all the districts not one particular race. It’s about time that the tax base is widened to achieve the desired impact on development. As we all know that the Chinese in the rural area were tax payers and if we close them then less tax to government. LETS GET THESE BUSINESSES REGISTERED IN TAX BASE. EITHER SMALL OR BIG. AND GIVE EFD MACHINES. Imagine how many trucks are being loaded of goods going to rural area. All these… Read more »
