“Charcoal does not come from towns but here in our villages. If we can come up with better control measures at grassroots, l can assure you we will address this issue once and for all,” he explained.

In his remarks, Group Village Head Kachitsa urged forestry authorities in the district to partner the communities to control charcoal burning.

“It is true we are the ones who will suffer if nothing is done now to control this malpractice,” he said.

The chief added that people can already see the impact such acts have brought in their day to day lives.

The sensitisation meeting was sponsored by Cooperazione Internazionale (Coopi), a multi-sectoral non-governmental organisation operating in the district.

  2. Very shame !!!! Government makes people cut the trees . I have noticed that electricity is cheaper than Charcoal.

    70% of Malawians can afford to buy electricity but the government offers only 40% houses country wide on top it black outs .

    The people have no choice they buy Firewood and Charcoal
