“The ministry therefore wishes to inform all interns who were included in the new intake not to report to district assemblies for registration and to work places to start working as earlier communicated until further notice,” says Banda.

The last cohort of interns complained of low pay whilst women complained of sexual harassment as their bosses proposed relationships to them.
