Stupid malawians, when will you grow up!!! A couple of months ago you forced that dude who was rearing 500 crocodiles to burn them becuase you said he was ill treating them by giving them insuffucient food stuff. Yet the crocs were worthy millions of dollars when sold abroad! Poor and stupid malawians ! Go ahead and burn a cool K3, 400, 000, 000.00. Although selling them is illegal but they could have been sold in anyway. Mwakongola kale 8 billion kwacha meant for the famine, why not use that money for irrigation farming.

We can make it into finished product give it more value and sell at a much better price which will we can use to breed new elephants to replace the dead ones. This will be putting good use to our valuable natural resource. Why lose twice when we can avoid further loss! It takes many years to have a full grown elephant hence the essence of making the ivory to good use other than burn.

Government cannot sale ivory legally at present. The sale of ivory is banned worldwide. The only sane thing is to keep it for posterity.

It is not true that burning the ivory wll bring more losses than gains to Malawians.We must learn to understand why government is intending to take such a bold step. Yes those few pieces of ivory can generate a little something to the government of Malawi, but for sure it can have long term negatives considering that it will just open up a window for more losses of this national heritage. We should refrain from making statements that have no basis atall.

Poor thinking…
slavish mentality! you want to cheat the world? you crooks,
why burn the ivory whe you know its money. there is always illegal trade happening between govenments and states. who do you want to cheat? zopusa basi. mukuwona ngati chamba chikagwidwa amawotcha chonse? mukunamiza ndani inu. just sell the ivory and buy drugs in malawian Hospitals.
