Abale medical equipment ya k8 million ndi nkhani? what social responsibility is this? Amalawi musamangotengeka
Welkom to Malawi my friends, where 1. Every saloon is a benz
2. Where every toothpaste is colgate
3. Where every margarine is Stork
4. Where every mzungu is rich…
That’s Malawi…TNM overcharges us much…All these are essentially our money…and zimene apanga donate apapazi ndi peanuts compared ndi zmene amatikawa agalu amenewa
Well done TNM for donating this equipment which will be used to save lives of many Malawian.
Zikomo TNM. Apa mwachita zanzeru. Unlike your competitors who shun social responsibility.
Well done TNM. I believe, this just the beginning of it all. Adding to what you have done for example, you may also open your eyes to the rural masses who, roughly, constitute the larger proportion of customers who partronise the network since you have said well that it’s a network that gives back to the customers.
Mobile Companies are a joke, you are busy making donations but you are failing to pay your suppliers in time? Shame on you!
This is charity towards mankind and we need to appreciate what TNM has done. If suppliers are not being paid on time, they need to discuss with Mobile companies and go through the contract documents. Surely you may find a solution that is good for both sides. It’s no good just blaming them like that.
Thanks tnm dont stop help ur customer we are pround of u mpamba biq up
TNM is slowly winning hearts of many Malawians bcoz of its tireless social responsibility. Thumbs up. Komabe agalu inu a m’boma muzigwira ntchito osamangolota ma allowance ndi cashgate.
