I understand that this company is mostly owned by US based Malawians in diaspora. We need more of these kind of investments. The white people will invest in Zambia Moz and Botswana.

Mlauzi, thanks for clarification. Since this is in its infancy I will watch with anticipation. It’s a step in the right direction.
