[civsoc-mw] Why is mother Malawi abused?

[trevor chimimba]

KPD, 

I do not drink whiskies...I am a beer person. 

The 500 litre stuff is part of the allowance culture that has gripped Malawi, no?

And to unravel the core of the problem...you just have to check out why the salaries in Malawi are low. 

I will not comment of the other parts of your posting because I do not know what you are talking about.

I have represented myself in court cases and won them all. In one case I had to teach one Industrial Court Judge a few things about Employment Act. The judge was not even aware that there is a category defined as Domestic Workers. These are not subjected to the rigours of the Employment Act because of the nature of their work. I fired my "Herd boy" who took me to Department of Labour and eventually to Industrial court where I won.

This time around I will make sure that we will share a bottle of Jack Daniels or Johnnie Walker Blue Label.
