Limbe Central Business District (CBD) on Tuesday witnessed another ‘round’ of sugar queues as people scrambled for the rationed commodity, which has become much scarcity in a country where the economy is severely crumbling.
Malawi commercial banks have no foreign exchange and service stations are dry with desperate motorists queuing for hours on end in search of fuel. Now, it is sugar; one of the basic necessities for many poor Malawian households.
In Limbe, where shops have not had sugar stocks for several days now, it was at Shoprite U-Save shop where sugar was off-loaded on Tuesday.
