Ooo Mr mussa because you bought those tractors from Malawi government you think all people can use tractors?? U must be very stupid to think that banning the practice will help solve the problem to the contrary this will escalate the problem because this will take food away from tenants’ tables. This government is really crueless why can’t it put laws in place to protect tenants???? No wondet our country is heading astray economically.
A chilungamo, kunyadira utenant kumeneko?
Better know that 90%+ of those houses in btyre belong to tumbukas and even if they’ve to be forced to sell you tenants cant even buy them.
Basi munthu kumakula ambition ndizakhale Tenant?

Yes 99% are the Southerners because you Chewas and Tumbukas are lazy people. You prefer migrating to South Africa leaving your dead North.

i have a feeling this is more about somebody getting paid than helping those tennants being talked about.
Ntonga shall not be a tenant but lomwe ntumbuka and nsena wamacheka kuchikangawa.

As long as Malawi economy relies on Tobacco this is a mere talk and simply a show to impress ILO and eat their allowances but on the ground tenancy system will never stop bcoz other alternatives are too costly for farmers resulting to less or no profit at all. Lets just fight to have better working conditions or a policy for the tenants and enforce it.
