Mota Engil withdraw hotel project along Lake Malawi
Portuguese industrial conglomerate Mota-Engil has written the Malawian government of its intention to withdraw its investment of 160 million Euro tourist attraction project in Monkey Bay which could have seen the construction of a five star hotel and a golf course.

According to Capital Hill sources who are privy to the issue, Mota Engil decided to drop the bombshell because it was not amused with the way government has handled the acquisition of the land which gave the company bad publicity as a land grabber.
Government entered into an agreement with the multinational in Public Private Partnership (PPP) which could have completely transformed area which is touted as the most beautiful part of the whole Lake Malawi.
Recently Mota Engil has been in the media for all the wrong reasons mostly in the areas where the company is operating.
The development comes hot on the heels of the recent fracas that happened in the project area which resulted in the death of two people and the serious injury of several others including the smashing of Traditional Authority Namkumba’s vehicle.
Minister of Information Kondwani Nankhumwa could neither confirm nor deny the development saying as government they are yet to receive the said letter.
Speaking in an interview with Nyasa Times, Nankhumwa who also oversees the tourism ministry said he also came to know it from the media who were trying to enquire on the matter.
“We are yet to receive the said letter. If indeed Mota Engil has written it maybe we can say it is on its way. But there is nothing on my desk concerning this,” said Nankhumwa.
Asked on whether the withdrawal by Mota Engil has something to do with fracas that happened in Mangochi, Nankhumwa said he cannot speculate on that because he has not yet received the letter.
Mota Engil started operating in Malawi in 1990 through its Engineering and Construction area and during the early years of its operations in the Malawian market the Groups interventions were mainly centred on highway infrastructures, especially work involving the construction and rehabilitation of the country’s highway network.
The company is recognized for its work in projects like Nsanje World Inland Port, the Nsanje-Bangula Road, Kayelekera Uranium Mine and the Nacala Railway Corridor construction. Recently the government also gave the company a concession to run the Malawi Lake Service which has seen it introducing a passenger ship.

This is disastrous . The powers that be should have negotiated properly with the company. & locals. This could have brought millions into the country as well as putting Malawi on the world map. They would have to have employed locals as well as bringing in highly trained personnel such as master chefs –etc to run the place efficiently. A very poor & disappointing outcome for which the locals must take “some” of the blame
Boko good u’re the modern day colonist who we chased 5oyears ago.you can’t sale ur village bcz some body from china/potugal want it. U should know that the pple along the lake use the lake 4 commecial activities.u say they will b emproyed.. butwho told u the jobs will b satisfactory and 4ever compared to fishing?That land belongs to the natives who have a responsibility to safe guard it 4 their childrens’ children.thats why 2day the pple of ytholo are crying 4 their land.u are a persecutor, foolish idleit-.3rd march coming again. It seems mlw has lost instutional memory.emulate zuma’s new laws on land.foreigners shouldnot buy our land but only be leased 4some years, as it is, it seems mlw is up 4 sale to rich ou tsiders with the help of greedy politicians.leasing is working well in tz, why not here?
It is not true that the hotel project was a Public Private Partnership (PPP), it is a big lie. Mota Engil on their own proposed to build a hotel. Government was not going to have a stake in it at all. Those in doubt can check with the Public Private Partnership Commission, anything contrary would be another lie on the part of the Public Private Partnership Commission.
In any case, Mota Engil was going to employ Portuguese people for even the most menial jobs, such as receptionists, chefs, accounts clerks etc. Imagine, currently Mota Engil has uneducated Portuguese people employed as fork-lift operators, crane operators, welders, catering assistants etc when there are so many Malawians who can do these jobs but are just loafing, I suspect this is a way of externalizing forex. The hotel project was therefore going to benefit only Mota Engil itself, and corrupt politicians, chiefs, and Government officials.
Wake up Malawians. Do not be exploited by foreigners.
Iwe Boko good you are not Boko Good but Boko Haram, chitukuko iwe wachiziwa liti, azigogo, azikagwira ntchito zanji ku motel?, chifuka anthu amene akufuna kwachosa ndi anthu amudzimo abadwira ndikukukira mmudzimo, iweyo wachitukukowe bwanji, osapasa malo kumudzi kwanu. Nxaaaaa
We have continued to put pressure on Moto Engil for engaging itself in dubious deals with corrupt administration of APM. We will continue tirelessly to expose organizations that do not respect the will of the citizens of this country. APM like his brother continues to abuse his position by engaging our government is secret agreements which do not benefit Malawians
The indigenous people are not supposed to be compensated, relocated. You can’t get somebody’s land and give him k50,000.00 nkumati zipita ukazionele wekha malo tatenga ma Portuguese amangepo midadada ya motel. Malo a hotel ndi golf course sikuti pachoka ma banja awiritu, ndi mzinda. Ndiye munawapezera kale kokawawika anthuwo. Osamawapatsa umphawi amalawi ayi!!!
I dont see a Hotel on this artistic impression. It looks more like a yard full of domitories. A Hotel should be an impossing structure, beautiful and elegant. From afar you should gasp with its splender and beauty.
Mijomba sopano. Kukana chitukuko. Dont you know that such a project has a multiplier effect? The same villagers who are resisting will be employed at the same place. Other facilities will come along with the project eg shopping malls, airport, good roads etc. They will also be able to sell produce and other things to the people and organisations that will sprout out as a result of the project. Please Malawians wake up. Just fight that the Government should do something to reallocate you to other good land. I remember there was land in Mangochi that was rejected by people from Mulanje /Thyolo belt who were supposed to be reallocated.there. Let these people go there. Altenatively, if people from Mangochi continue to resist let Government give Mota another land elsewhere eg Nkhatabay, Karonga or Salima. It is high time we developed the tourism industry along the lake and move away from tobacco and donor dependence in the economy.
For the impression of the artist, it does not seem to be a five star hotel. It is more classroom structures. Please build a hotel that has more than five storeys.
Malawi government should use our taxes to build the hotel. But the golf course should be removed. It is for luxury.
palibe munthu wobwera angatukule MALAWI,ngati alikuno amenewa chilipo chmene akufuna. Malawi tingamutukule tokha ife amalawi ngati
tingakhale wogwira ntchito molimbika kupanga ma business tizatukula dzikolathu, ndalama zanyhu zikutengedwa ndianthu amenewa,
malo amene anthu akulandidwa.tisagulitse dziko chifukwa chofuna kutukula malawi,ana athu akakhala kuti?
NOW GO TO NORTHERN REGION LAKE SHORES OF BANBAWE, CHINTHECHE, TUKOMBO,USISYA,RUARWE,CHITIMBA, AND CHIWETA, THERE ARE NICE BEACHES THERE, BUILD THIS MENTIONED HOTEL AND OTHER PROJECTS.
MOREOVER LET BINGU TOLD PEOPLE OF USISYA THAT HE WILL BUILD A TOURISM CENTRE THERE, PEOPLE ARE JUST WAITING UP TO THIS TIME,THEN MUTHALIKA MUST DO SOMETHIG AT THIS PLACE, ACCORDING TO HIS BROTHER’S PROMISSES.
ALLAH AMEN
Tasiyeni amange koma mulipile ndala eni amalo tisawaletse ku manga ku Malawi Lakeshore sitidzatukuka ngati mmene alili mayiko anzathu amene ali ndi Njanja .
If they have given up, I ma so happy..,..Mota Engil are crooks
So mumafuna kuti athamangise anthu? Malo ndiofunika kwambiri. Achita bwino anthu amenewa
When I read this issue I see that something is not adding up here. The root of the problem is villagers protesting. Were they given the right compensation for the land to be used. I am sure somebody must have “chewed” the money meant for compensation. DPP functionaries are my prime suspects. I rest my case.
WHEN I HEAR THE NAMES MOTA EGOL AND PALADINI OF KAYELEKELA MINE, I FEEL LIKE VOMITING BECAUSE THESE COMPANIES ARE MANAGED BY CORRUPTED GUYS. WE ALAWAYS HEAR WRONG NEWS/STORIES ABOUT THEM REGARDING OPERATIONS IN MALAWI. THEY SHOULD GO AND LEAVE OPPORTUNITIES FOR OTHER ENTITIES BOTH LOCAL AND INTERNATIONAL.
Let Mota Engil build the Hotel and Golf Course in the Northern part of the Lake, there is more land there, and will see if this DPP government is serious with equitable distribution of development projects.
Mota Engel is filling Malawi with substandard infrastructure, lets just find another investor who can do justice to the shores of our lake. Look at the roads that this company has constructed, the tar being chipped away by rains, not even hails or storms. So you want us to cry for this withdrawal? Its a blessing to us.
This is ugly complex apite basi- did the nccic approve this?
Mangochi is ideal since it’s centrally located. Bigger Market, people will not travel from bt to Nkhatabay.
Good Compensation that should be agreed by both parties.
Fishermen CANNOT fish around resort.
So much unoccupied land along the lake, why disturb villagers. Besides do the roads first, hotel later
A Malawi ndi mbuzi basi.
FREE NAT is non patriotic,narrow minded and not development concious. Its a pity that Malawi still has people like him. If Beijing had even one person thiking like Free Nat, it could still be looking like Nankumba area todate. Lucky them , that they don’t.
Bravo to Mota Engil for withdrawing the plans to build 5 Star Hotel in Mangochi because of loss of our dear Malawians and many injured during the fracas in Monkey Bay since there was no information to people to embrace the plan of the government to sell the land to the company. Government should learn to inform and involve people in decision making.
There is a reason that area is called Monkey Bay. Inhabited by sub-human primates resistant to social change. Chogololo and nsomba basi. There will never be development in Malawi. Never. Never. Boko Haram.
Well Done, Mota Evil.
We are all glad that you have chosen to respect our natives and have to chose the right path.
Malawi needs development, but not at a gun-point.
We are a civilized nation, and therefore treat us as such.
Monkey Bay ohhyeeeeeeeeeeee 🙂
Chief Nankumba must be removed immediately. Anyone trying to sell Malawi should be charged with TREASON.
If we’re to think objectively as Malawians and not as tribes. I would say as a country we have lost an opportunity to create employment to our locals in the area and as a nation.
Secondly the area maybe, is being underutilized, according to its potential. Therefore, it will remain underdeveloped in way.
Anyway, we all have rights these days, so let them withdraw to make us happy.
Opanda mbali awuze akamange kumachende abambo ako
Just buy another land in other areas like Chiweta in Rumphi, Chilumba Karonga, Usisya Nkhatabay, Chintheche Nkhatabay, Sani Nkhotakota, Chipoka in Salima or take up Kasungu National Park lodge called Lifupa or Vwaza in Rumphi or Dedza Mountains but the best of all is Usisya in Nkhatabay, I have been to this area and it is just beautiful. If you don’t go to another place to construct we will assume that you indeed wanted to grab people’s land
Sad day for development Why is it tht we always stifle real investment tht was bound to transform the tourism sector Why are we so anti development When are we going to support initiatives tht are intended to move us away from under development eeish
The hotelwould not have worked anyway and maybe they have realised this now. There seems to always be talk of government corruption with this Company? I am not sure why the european union has not investigated Mota Engil yet
Tangowapititsani ku jando amenewo.
kuzolowera kuyika chinamwali. Chifukwa munthu wa nzeru zake sangakane Project like this one. That means the country is developing more especialy when we see projects like this. goo ahead guys.
che kumpota
Tangowagwirani azungu onse a Mota Engil mupite nawo ku jando mukawajandule ndiye kenako muwapatse malowo. Kikikikiki
The blame should be on gorvenment for its lack of transparency, the villagers were supposed to be informed and properly compesated in time….
Mota Engil are are top-class thieves and infidels. They always connive with politicians to reap poor people off. They have worked in Africa long enough to know that all the likes of Joyce Banda and Peter Muthalika want is to acquire wealth at the expense of poor people. How many shoddy deals have mota done with Khumbo and Banda’s children, even Bingu? Don’t come here and feign ignorance, you are bloody thieves and all along knew what you were up to. If you wanted a fair process you could have hired a desk officer to ensure people in Mangochi were informed, consented, given compensation and time to move to alternative residential areas, but with good access for them to the lake, their source of livelihood for ages. You have been stealing gold from Mwanza and Neno and now you wanted to steal our beach front. Good you changed your mind, you literally saved your asses- we were prepared for you.
The stupidity of APM, tasking incompetent people like nakhumba without necessary background training to provide oversight of such a project. All these crooked politicians want is a commission and then they think the can bulldoze the project without getting the people’s consent and compansation, not possible in this age. Bwampini APM will do nothing, not even firing the minister, just shows how useless they all are.
Development will always come at a cost. If we want our country to develop we must be prepared to part with certain practices and traditions.MOTA ENGIL did not want to grab land from anyone as what people are alleging here, they wanted a place to build a five star hotel along the Lake, but its unfortunate that Villagers in that area were not properly informed, information was kept as a secret by some Government officials, also a consent from the people of Mangochi was an important factor to this development and knowing the behaviours of the Portuguese the Government was supposed to draw boundaries on the investor on what to do and not to do. Mind you not all Portuguese are racists and bad there also many who have a human heart and kind but because of the way some of us were brought up in our villages we may not understand them. To me I feel this is a great opportunity lost and to the people of Mangochi, this was your chance and its lost dont be cheated this development would have brought a change to your district. To MOTA ENGIL
Please don’t withdraw your plans from Malawi, just find a place in the Northern Part of the Lake its equally beautiful, don’t involve politicians, genuinely buy Land either on Rumphi side of the Lake facing Chiweta Escarpment or in Nkhatabay Usisya or Chintheche. You can also think of BuIlding that infrastructure at Likoma.
Mr. Imraan Sadick and all those who subscribe to your thinking please be schooled that Monkey-Bay or Chief Nankumba’s area is not a Yao area. It is a Chewa area. Please read Malawian History or ask Dr. DD Phiri.
Ineyo ngati senior chief kuno ku mangochi ndalamula kuti inu a mota engil mutanga malowa pokha muvomere kuti azungu nonse tipititseni ku jando ndipo tikakutheneni takatundu tanuto
Let the inhabitantbenefiting from what they inherited
Be it yaos, tumbukas or whatever tribe,no one is liable to be moved from his area without proper procedures and or compensation it is illegal there was a time for such kind of practices of moving people just anyhow and by force simply because it was during the tyranny regime of Dr HKB not today in a democratic dispensation so whoever likens this to moving from the now city areas is utterly nonsense.
Mangochi home of bokoharamu jando thugs
Take the project to Ndata assholes!
eeeee withdraw kumene bloodfucken.
Mwayesa dzikoli ndi la a pwitikizi eti?
Si chifukwa choti mwamuthandiza pitala kuti kwacha ibwelere muchimake nde therefore you take the country as yours.
HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF COMPENSATION?
Ngati simuwapatsa zawo ma farmers then GET LOST STUPID POMPUS MOZAMBICANS.

Ngati chiphunzitso choipachi chitafalikira konse kodi maloto a President/DPP omanga Mombera/Mberwa University ndi zina zotero atheka? Govtt must be strong here. It can’t give in to people who only want to use our beaches and blue waters just for open defeacation. They shd learn to construct toilets. After all previous Govts had to be bold enough to relocate people and build cities in Malawi and elsewhere. Malawi has only one 5 star hotel, thanks to the late Bingu, may His Soul rest in eternal Peace. Malawians are salivating on this to be the second one. If this project fails, DPP will pay heavily in 2019 as we will want some one different to quickly come and bring the lost iconic investment. It gonna be a big campaign/decampaign tool. I know the Govt has the necessary expertise to talk over the matter with the investor to rescind the decision coz Malawi can not afford to loose such an investment.
Pathetic Malawi. Very pathetic.
Most of the people targeting the yaos on this issue are tumbukas,up to the point of sayying that the hotel shud go to north,are u tumbuks sure of this?the develoment is given to the so Who will b given as u are all busy buying land in the south and centre?if north is also a gud side why do you all run away after geting an MSCE??even the mota guy they know kuti South ndi deal cause they get incurraged by u Tumbukts 4 running away from ur home villages and to the land which belongs to you!! : Myao:’Bambo kumudzi ndikuti? Mtumbuka:kukaya kwithu ni ku muKolokosah!! Chokaapa Nkolokosa wake uti mmesa mmenemumu anachotsamo achainiyake, boma mkumangamo nyumba inu mkuphangila ndiye kwasandukaso kumudzi???Shaaaaa
Iwe usazinamize apa!! Genuine northerner are still residing in the north!! Osatizomwe ukunenazo mbuzi iwe!!!
Malawi, learn to be trasperate when doing things. If people were told and agreed on compesations, this problem couldnot be there. Mumafuna kuadwere masuku pa mutu anthu mwalephera. A Mota kazipitani kwanu. Do not come again in Malawi.
That is the MH I know. Ana owamwira the Henry Masasuko Chipembere way. MH siimafuna zoponderezana.Inde dev. ndiyofunika koma sizomzuza mwini nthaka

When development gets to an area, people get relocated. We were relocated from Blantyre, now a city, to a rural area. This has happened to many people in the world. So, let the people of Nankumba accept change. On the other note; the Yaos are clever people and not what you perceive them to be.
I
agree with Myao on the fact that there is no tribalism on this issue.
We have said now and then, stop thinking in tribal lines. It’s only
uncivilized, sick minded and ignorant idiots who always talk about
tribes and regions. It’s disgusting and you should be ashamed of
yourself. You are living in the old, archaic times where the world was
about tribes. We are ashamed of your lack of patriotism as Malawians, no
unity in your heads.
And I also agree with Mzozodo, whatever his real name is. The Government
of Malawi is like full of people who only think about themselves and
not work hard for the nation. The Minister of Tourism and Minister of
Lands and ……have completely failed. How can such kind of investment
for the nation just slip out of their hands, and they don’t care. Why
wait for the letter. The information from the press should ring a loud
bell, in their sleeping heads, for them to check with the investor in
advance and correct the situation. What is wrong with this national
leadership? Sleeping! Sleeping! Go to our countries around us and see
how they are developing, what kind of infrastructure they constructing!
In Malawi, we just have 1930 buildings being built today, even in the
City of Lilongwe – the tobacco barn-like shopping buildings with iron
sheets close to the floor yet approved by the city planners.
You Ministers get out their and get things straight, that land is
customary land, under the president, under you as representatives of the
president. If you just want to be making money, doing nothing just
because you are affiliated to the president – We urge the HE to fire you
or you should resign.
Is this a poem?
IT IS ALL ABOUT COST/BENEFIT.MOTA PAYS FAKE EXPARTS WELL WHILE GIVIN PEANUTS TO MALAWIANS.BETTER BE A FISHERMAN ON YO OWN LAND THAN BE EMPLOYED BY A RACIST HOTEL THAT PAYS YOU PEANUTS AT MONTHEND.GIVING U AT MONTHEND WHAT U CAN MAKE IN A DAY.THE HOTEL WOULD NOT BENEFIT MALAWIANS AT ALL. LET MOTA AND DPP FIND LAND ELSEWARE NOT ON MY BROTHERS LAND.NO NOT AT ALL.
This is a blessing in disguise in my view, its high time the government starts supporting local investors other than these foreign entities of which their cooperation with the government still leaves a lot to be desired. Much as we appreciate that Malawians would have found some employment opportunities like kukonza mzimbudzi, unblocking sewerage systems etc. we know that most blue collar jobs will be taken up by the Portuguese the same practice we see happening in all these Indian owned hotels countrywide. Instead of thinking about relevant policies to regulate serious issues like these we are busy selling out our land to foreigners. Pliz wake up my beloved Malawi
“Power to people” if they want to withdraw let them,blame
PP government for selling land which it does not belong to the state
Bravo Yao people,you keep on proving yourself that you can’t be taken for a ride,if you don’t stand for something you fall for anything
What guarantee do we have that this project will benefit the downtrodden?
THAT’S BETTER, GO N SELL NDATA A BOMANU. ASIYENI AKU MANGOCHIWO
Can you gvt/mota switch on a failing fail batton so that the projecT can proceed? You are not kids.
Aaa! Eni malo kungowamanga mmasamba? Chitukuko nchofunika koma anthu afotokozereni bwinobwino amvetse. Mwaposa pa asamunda adpp

Stupid KAPHAIZI ukuwona ngati ku Monkeybay kuli a yao akha.
Konse komwe akumapita a Mota direct kukumakhala zisokonezo.
S**k ur ass Kaphaizi!
People need to be schooled that Mangochi is highly regarded as a yao district but it is not. It is one of the most mixed districts as far as tribes are concerned. Secondly the people who protested for their land (whether achawa or alomwe or atumbuka) are brave and must be commended. They are protecting livelihoods. The hotel would not employ them hotels need people with papers, these are poor fishermen who may not have been able to see the inside of a classroom so do not lie to them about employment. This must be a lesson to political leaders and traditional leaders, malawians are awake now and you will not toss them the way you like expecting no reaction from them. Mukamadya masikono/ chi buns muzikhala mukudziwa of possible resistance
whether u like it or not, mangochi will still be vital interms of tourism, we ddnt call them they came themselves because we have a nice place ngati zikukunyansani atumbuka tell them akalime tchire lija ku chikangawa amangemo, mwinamwake kungakongole,, we have enough holiday resorts here and beautiful places including the state house inside the water.
I just hope you don’t represent the views of yaos coz it’s idiotic to think in such manner.
What is paining me most is loss of lives which was encountered in the course.
Salima is better. Leave stupid jando guys alone
You are the most stupid and ignorant person.Is there any connection with jando here?Have you ever been in monkey bay area?go there you will find tumbukas,lomwes and chewas are occupying that area plz stop pointing your finger to a certain individual because you can pont with one finger the rest of your fingers are pointing to yourself which means you are more stupid than anyone
Take the project to Salima – Senga Bay. It will then be centrally located. People from north, centre and south will easily access it. The south has Sun n Sand, Nkopola, Boazulu n Andrews. That’s what is giving them the contentment.
Which north? How about problems at Kayerekera, is it yaos causing problems there. How about chasing the miners at Niobium mining in Mzimba is it yaos? Be aware that the area Mota want to develop is in Monkey bay where majority are not yaos but Ngonis, anyanja and some people from the north who settled there as fishermen, retired Lake service employees.
On other note, how many forums took place in the Northen city of Mzuzu opposing drilling of oil in lake Malawi? Were these people yaos?
People from this area want to know what is their fugure after being moved from their land, any life changing prospects from this project? Malawi is for all of us , therefore stop stereotyping. This can happen anywhere.
Uuu tumbu
Well done Mota and shame to Gvt.Kukonda ndalama too much mpaka kenaka mudzagulitsa mpumulo wa bata ndi manda a Kamuzu aja.
Really? You cannot see the positive side to this development?
What is needed is genuine consultation with all the key stakeholders…to find a “win-win” answer to the often competing demands. A middle of the road solution is possible if all parties are serious.
This is a sad development, proper procedures would/should have been followed, people needed to be civic educated/informed about the whole process. If this is really true, this is gonna be a big loss to the country. This is their customary land, yes but a compromise would have been easily reached. Nanunso a Chawa, nsomba zinakupangani chani kodi? U cook mumakonda uja bwenzi mukukaphika ku hotel
Go to Nkhatabay though I would prefer the scenic Mlowe
please those who are accusing the Yao should know that the area in question is a Chewa area not yao. TA Nankumba is not yao. dont publicise your ignorance of the countrys demographics. Yaos have nothing to do with this.

Chitukuko ndianthu ake
Tumbukas, you are failing to handle Uranium project, now you want to steal from motta engil?
It’s unfair to express tribalistic sentiments let alone to insult Yaos. TA Nankumba is full of Chewas, Tonga’s an Tumbukas. It is one of the few places in rural Malawi that exemplify peaceful coexistence among people of diverse tribal and cultural background. Let’s build our nation, not tear it apart. I recommend that Nyasatimes should add this as a code of conduct and censure unacceptable use of language.
Now about the project. It’s a great concept. It would be unfortunate if it fails. However, Malawi Govt should not negotiate the partnership from a position of weakness or desperation. This is why we still need MDC and Press Trust so that selfish and shortsighted politians don’t interfere in national projects.
Montaebgil pitani.abwere ena ma Investor komanso chinese ayi! chitukuko chili ngati chikondi sitiphera anthu ayi…uwo unali usatana!
A CORRUPT ADMIN OF DPP AND PORTUGUES MOTA FRIENDS WILL REGRET WHEN A REVOLUTION SWEEPS ACROSS MALAWI.THAT PLACE IS SOURCE OF REVENUE FOR FISHERMEN FISHING GROUNDS.THE SO TOTTED HOTEL CANNOT PAY SALARIES TO THE EQUIVALENT OF WHAT THE NATIVES MAKE FROM DE LAKE. AND ONLY PUPPETS WOULD BE EMPLOYED 4 A MEAGRE PAYAS DISH WASHERS. SO BETTER STAY PUT AS FISHERMEN.ABASH MOTA! ABASH CORUPT GVT
No wonder there is no president from the tumbukaas since independence power hungry broots tooooomboooookas
go to usisya it’s another beautiful place
Where do u Think The land owners will gO. Let Them staY there.
Politics too much. that was an investment we were expecting. mufuna mudziwedza basi mxiiu
THANKX TO THE PEOPLE OF MANGOCHI FOR REPELING THESE RACIST PORTUGUES.ESPECIALLY THEIR BOSS RODRIGUES IS RACIST.THATS WHY HE EMPLOYS FOREIGNERS WITH POOR QUALIFICATIONS IN ADMIN YET PAYS THEM MORE THAN MALAWIANS.CORRUPTION HAS BEEN ORDER OF THE DAY WITH DPP ADMIN.WE DO NOT MANT OPRESSORS IN THE NAME OF DEVELOPMENT.GO TO MOTA ENGIL OFFICES AND U WILL SEE HOW MALAWIANS R ABUSED.ALREADY TWO LIVES LOST ON MALAWIAN LAND BECAUSE OF DPP AND MOTA RELATIONSHIP.POWER TO THE OWNERS OF THE LAND.THIS IS PPLE POWER.
If they were racists they would have taken the project to the Portuguese speaking countries. U sound bankrupt in the head. The hotel will bring us forex, reduce unemployment and improve the landscape of our Malawi.
I appeal tothe company to reconsider their decision. Don’t make haste decisions based on a few misguided illiterates. Please govt sit down with the people concerned assure them u r in control.
Mxiii, ayao…. ntchito jando basi…..
Shupiti zako.Bwanji osamangomwa mikodzo ndi kumadya makoswewo.Demeti.
Come home live these yao
Too much land in the north
Within a period of 9 month notorious DPP aka magazi party led government has killed more than 4(known) innocent civillians while hundreds are either receiving or received traetment in different parts of the country. As nyasi mmaso my own personal view is that ( the DPPs acts are not different As that of the terrorist group. The only difference is that it is ruling the country.) Thanks Mota Engil for realising that the barbaric act of the current adminstration is distroying your name
NYASI MMASO,U DO NOT KNOW HOW CORUPT MOTA IS.U EVEN SAY THANKS?MOTA IS SIMPLY TRYIN TO DISTANCE SELF FROM BLOODSHED.SO WAKE UP NYASI MMASO
Come to the north. We are much more civised and open to investment than these Boko Haram jando idiots
Choka iwe civised ndiye kuti cha!nNdithamangitsatu abale ako akakamira kuno ngati alibe kwawowa wamva?Undisamale iwe chief idiot.
Chintheche is in Nkhata-Bay. Please there is good land there.
IS THE LAND YOURS?PLS DO NOT B FOOLISH
There are land fights in the north as well. Ask Patrick Mwafulirwa and Ralph Mhone. Man has an inherent selfishness and territorial, animal spirit. Unless the love of Christ civilises the human soul, fights will not be limited to a tribe or a political party.
Go and build along chinthechi!!! There is a beautiful beach there! Leave these yaoz!! Ndi mbuzi za anthu!!!
You sort of mix places and people. I suggest you go in front of your mirror and watch yourself as you say the following statement: “leave monkey bay and come to chinthechi. Tonga’s are more accommodating and less warlike than yaos. Ta timbiri has stronger leadership than Ta nankumba. Our member of parliament is better than Ralph Jooma”. Jeeee! How does it sound? Stop these prejudices, let Aline expressing them in a public space. It hurts the nation.
Yes,there is land in the north but the gvt decided to leave it to the wildlife including you.
