  1. Fundamentally Malawi and most Malawians are highly racist. It’s a country that can’t become a globalised economy because it puts off external investors. If you are white, asian looking or foreign you’ll be charged more, given less rights and expected to be the beneficiary to your poor black brothers. Poverty in Malawi is mainly due to lack of personal responsibility, and whilst Asians are reinvesting cash in their business, many Malawian families simply suck their own businesses dry. The MRA are absolute criminals.

    Not sure if Malawians remember their history when asain businesses were closed down.. it was an economic disaster. I pretty much avoid buying from Malawians myself because they charge such high prices to white people. I either get my black wife to buy things or I buy in asian shops where they can understand that just by virtue of being a certain race or colour, doesn’t make you rich. Malawi has become a country of takers.. there’s only a small percentage of the population that is working and investing honestly and understands that poverty exists everywhere in the world, not just Malawi.

    1. To say Malawians are racist is far fetched prejudiced maybe,the fact that malawians assume that Asians or Europeans are well off is because of the general image that is put up by these two groups and to an extent they not wrong…u should also keep in mind that Asian have been doing bussines in malawi for ages nd most have inherited the firm’s they run or have had tips and assistance from their colleagues therefore cannot be on the same playing field with the guy selling wares by the road…this issue is a deep one coz it stems from so many aspects…most countries on the continent are struggling with similar issues..if u can understand who u really are from a historical standpoint then u appreciate what your land and people have to offer…

  2. And they say individual’s tax information is confidential? Fair enough. But how will we know about shady deals at MRA? There are so many “mkanyumba komata” at MRA where fraudsters discuss “what is in it for me” issues.

  3. I beg to differ .

    Unfortunately I don’t agree with the line being thrown that Asians are being given preference on the contrary I feel it’s the other way around.

    Especially with the EFD machines I mean all Asian owned shops have them.

    How many “indigenous” Malawian shop owners have them?

    Yes when it comes to Tax evasion there is a point but how many Asians are getting away without paying taxes maybe just 20 or so people MAX in my assumption. These people that do get away with tax are tycoons not the ones sitting and plying their trade on a shop counter which are in the majority.

    I agree with Imran Patel & Haste I quit importing a while back close to 7 years now it’s a mission . It’s easier to let someone else import on your behalf sometimes.

  4. Don’t point fingers at anyone. Here we have a problem with our system and it us true that most of the MRA officer’s are used to taking bribes. Maputo and other business people are taking advantage of this weakness.

  5. FACT IS MOST INDIANS HAVE CORRUPTED MALAWI REVENUE AUTHORITY OFFICIALS , BAD ROTTEN EGS ARE STILL ATG MRA ISSUING TAX CLEARANCE CERTIFICATES TO INDIANS YET THESE INDIANS HAVE ISSUES WITH MRA.
    SHAME,REAL CHANGE IS ON THE WAY THIS IS OUR COUNTRY

  6. This allegation that MRA treat Asians favorably is a load of nonsense. I being a Malawian of asian origin have a shop and I used to import goods but have stopped importing now because of the harassment I used to suffer from MRA officials. If you do not give them bribes they make life difficult for you.I now order goods through indegenious Malawians who bring for me and buy from them and it costs me half the price of what it would have cost me had i imported myself. A lot of Asians now go through indegenious Malawians to get their stuff as the MRA do not harass their own kind as much as they harass the Asians .

    1. I am a Black Malawian but with a mixed family. Everytime my other family members want something done, they usually ask me to do it because they experience the same thing so on this one I understand you. The foreign you look, the higher the demands.

  7. i don,t why we still accommodate this corrupt amwenye.six month down the line.we are still afraid of lawsuits.
    civil servants sellout.just parading phds and one of the poorest country in the
    world..
    always scamming tax payers money as if they own they country and lets boot them out and i am sure they can get jobs else where.

    1. They are not the ones who are scamming this country,it’s the politicians,network of civil servants who over the last 26 years have been behind unprecedented looting of taxes,very convenient to put all the blame on minorities,.

  8. Mapeto Faizal Latif is Crook and he has been doing Tax Theft since he purchased DW Tax Evasion on Raw Materials imported from India and other Business He has been Evading Tax and Not paying Taxes by Underdeclaring the Value of Goods and Paying Money to its Suppliers Through Hawala System (Which is Routing Money through Dubai and other Means) That a what Most Asian Business People do in Malawi

    MRA should always check there Imports Price Either it will be High to Extermalised the Forex out of Malawi

  9. CDEDI as an organisation only meant for indigenous Malawians? You can ask yourself why uldai mussa was convicted before muluzi? I think every case is different.. Some may have evidence provided right away, while others are difficult to get because it’s more complicated and involves more players. An also as an NGO organisation we should be professional and not let emotions take the better of us. You are trying to justify the actions of an individual who broke the law. Had it been that this individual did not pass on would you have still justified his actions. Yes both parties have broken the law and let the law take it course. And also did MRA know that the late individual had High blood pressure? No they didn’t so stop blaming his death because of MRA. When God has written an appropriate time nobody in this world can stop it. I guess it was just his time and we should accept it.

  11. Mra is corrupt to the core not only indians but some clearing agents working in cahoots with mra likes of innocent Milanzi thieving agent operating at mchinji

      1. You are deluded,do you seriously think that everybody does business with govt,as for services in Malawi everybody knows that without “something “ nothing will be done.
