  2. I don’t condone theft but to say that the govt is behind the perpetration of this vice is totally wrong. I STAND TO BELIEVE THAT LACK OF PERSONAL PLAN OF ACTION is what uhbreeding this malpractice. If we wholeheartedly concur that wealth starts from bottom line we can’t see ourselves in theft scams. Ndiye poti mMalawi believes in overnight wealth nthito zake zikhala zokubazi basi.
