Limbe shop workers to protest over low salaries Limbe shop workers have threatened to demonstrate against shop owners who have not effected a new salary structure the workers agreed with the bosses.
The Limbe Workers Union and the Limbe business community agreed this year in September to increase the salary by 27.7 percent effective October.
However, to the surprise of some workers in Chinese owned shops, their employers did not effect the new agreed salaries last month.
Information has revealed that instead of being given their salaries with 27 percent added on it, a good number of some workers got fired without proper reasons.
It has also been established that the employers, after firing their workers, recruited some new workers with the aim of making sure that the salary increment is not effected.
According to the Secretary for Limbe Workers Union Christopher Maliro, they are totally dismayed by the development and they will take action very soon.
Maliro said if nothing will change, Limbe shop workers will on November 21 conduct industrial and peaceful demonstrations in exercise of their rights.
“Other Indians and some other Chinese shop owners in Limbe have increased their salaries but others have not. We talked to them to raise the salaries but most of them have vehemently rejected our calls. So, our decision now is that we want to go to the ground to do demonstrations. Some Chinese shop owners say they want first to talk to their lawyers and if the lawyers agree, they will raise the salary,” said Maliro.
He further said the most painful thing on the development is the firing of some of their workmates and added that it is very worrisome that the new employees are receiving the old salaries which according to him the money is just too low.
In 2014, a similar development happened where shop owners demonstrated against their bosses after misunderstanding on the same salary issue.

Ayeesha, you have said alot of senseless things here. What you have to know is, Malawi is not there, because of the Asians, but Asians, are there because of Malawi.
Not what you are vomiting here.
I think you (Asians) are the people who are known by preaching about Love. You pray countless times in a day, you also go to the Mosque daily.
When going to the mosque, what ddo you do there?
Practice what you preach sister. Don’t deceive God in a such away.
Love your neighbour as you love yourself.
This salary issue that has been tackled on this page, concerning your workers, it is an issue that could be solved amicably, if you have the spirit of understanding.
But the way you are saying, it indicates that, you are taking chances over them.
If you are a God fearing woman, I optimistic, you are going to put this issue into consideration.
Osawanyengerera ma foreigners wo gyz vayani pa nsewu bx
Go ahead guys
Simple shot the India,sikwao
Amwenye akuonjeza kwambiri
There has never been lean time in Malawi, evryday throughout is TOUGH!!!
And u will see how the police will respond. They will take all of them to Limbe police,beat them, brutalised and steal money from them. All in favour of the Chinese and Asians. They never loved a fellow Malawian

I do agree with you Ayesha. But are you taking advantage simply because they don’t have talent?
Not at all and the reason why im sayin its not beneficial to raise there salary is coz , they do limited , and im givin my opinion or else , if i see other malawians pay them after an entire month , so stop judging me
Mambo….hamjambo?
Eeeeeh be careful some of you may loose your jobs.
Thats why Robert Mugabe, and late Idih Ayimin from Uganda ceased all the shops in the hands of foreigners and gave it to citezens to own those shops, these foreigners should work from us not we should work from them, Idih Ayimin Said ” My people can’t be slaves in their own land ” and even Mugabe spoke the same words. Our goverment can’t do anything, we have too much respect in foreigners, no wonder amayakhula ma mwano ndikumati ” Dziko ndiwanu, ndalama ndiwathu”, anajayila, timafasa mopusa. Let us wake up malawians, its time for ceasefire, for how long are we gonna remain like this, we are slaves in our own mother land, lets cease these shops from them and own them, we can promote ownership!
Nobody said my friend u are slaves u just need to work hard like the fellow asian africans!
But they treat us as slaves whenever we are working with them, why ? They usually give us poor working conditions with low payment, I know these Asians, I have been staying with them for a longtime. I was expecting these people to be kind to every1, but Whites are the ones who are kind with us!
Whites are just friendly coz they want oil from lake malawi , and lookin for their advantages, and asians are helping this country by industries , companys etc
Lol…..so should we say that Asians can’t be friendly just because they are helping our country by opening industries?
without asians malawi is nothing , so plz
Aisha u r lying malaw was there b4 u stupid asians
Ayesha mutha kumapita kwanutu nthawi yanu isanakwane

Ayesha saeed your jast a fool,hope you are one of those stupid indianz!if you think your educated jast go back to your country and do bussiness there
Thats gud
But the shop workers have already been paid more than enough , and they do limited job , so the salary they are being paid now is brilliant , no need for this protest its useless , and its better that they are happy on this matter , coz if they had worked hard before they would be in offices and not working in shops, so stop arguing on this matter
You are ni
You are not in Malawi think of devaluation of kwacha
Not all people can work in the offices even in a well developed country some do not have descent work
If they want high salaries then thats the only option , im a malawian and i know the devaluation has hit hard , and the workers should understand everybodys having a tough time
If u havent read my fb bio dont tell me anything regarding malawi without any proof
If a person wants a high salary , they should have talent too
Ayesha how mutch they get aweak or amonth
AYESHA DO YOU TELL MI that all your relative are in office. The money these workers are peanuts compared to the work they does and the way things are by now. wat proof u want than to c your self pple are barkerring to get their needs yet they are working tirelessly
I have noted that your head is useless….
Im not denying anything on this matter, as an honest malawian , the salary is enough compared to the devaluation of kwacha
Mind you workers are there not to make chinese people rich but to earn their living,everybody can,t be a boss.
go learn english first
Komadi iwe ndi Mmalawi? Lemba chichewa chifukwa mmene ukuyankhuliramo kukhala ngati zomwe akuchita anthuwa ndizopanda mtchere kwa iwe.
E diposo ku churusa ma salary kawiri kawiri sanga ntheke , iwe osa ma lowera nkhani yanga taka guire chito wako
Iweyo ngati uma konda a malawi wambiri umu thandize, bwino bwino osa vuta , ndi khala kuti nziko arimo anthu ameneyo ama chita ku panga ,osati o yankhula okha !
Shame On U&ur Not Malawian,and U Peoples One U Will Be Evicted To Go Back On Ur Country Coz We Ar Tired Of U Agalu Inu.
ECONOMICALLY, when devaluation happens in the country the prices of the comodities rises up. So how they will buy thing while their SALARY is limited to previous PRICE?????
Ye thats the reason why am saying work hard gives success , if u want high money they u should have the exact talent and if u do then no need to work at shops . Search a better future !
first ayesha why this concern u a lot are you the one treating them bad. just get a life am not on your side and there side too but you are full of shit I think you need to meet someone who can show you the meaning of shit pussy you are talking here.
this ass face ayesha how she talks I just want to meet her am sure I will remind her what she is saying about poor malawians.
No they have to protest because the salary is fewer , they receive k20000, what cn smbdy do with k20000? I receive more han k100000 pet month but is not suffient what more k20000?
Two-legged dog.
Utisamalet ukhalike ndikamwa lakolo
She/he is not a malawian ndipo ndiwe opusa kwambiri
Fuck u and Fuck u a hundred times. If I was around you I would kill u with bare hands. Malawi is not yours. Go to hell mufucker!
U swine face
Iweyo usamale ma monkey
time n money works hand in hand. and these boses know that too n yet they tend to ignore their workers living affair . zinthu zikusintha nthawi yinailiyonse koma malipilo ayi . #good_move
And what is the Malawi govt through the Ministry of Labour doing on this matter.? Have they been bribed already by these chineese people.? I have never in my life seen a dormant leadership than this that we have in Malawi now. There are no real issues and challenges that Malawians are facing that you discuss. Workers are are still not cared for. Shame….. We are changing all this very soon..watch this space.
