Hours after business operators were left in a somber mood following a fierce fire that burnt shops at a bus depot in Mulanje district, vendors from Mchinji have also faced the same fate after fire destroyed the district’s main market on Saturday.
According to reports, the fire started at around 2PM after a spark from Electricity Supply Corporation of Malawi (ESCOM) wires near the market.
Residents from the district have disclosed that the incident began after ESCOM had carried out maintenance work on its power lines in the district.
ESCOM officials are yet to comment on the matter following claims that the fire started from their power lines.
Meanwhile authorities are also yet to calculate the cost of the damages the fire has caused.
The Mchinji fire incident becomes the third major inferno within a space of a month in the country.
The biggest blaze was at Lilongwe Mpanipani market where fire damaged property worth millions of Kwacha.
Zache zija zoti tisake a panya ndi adugu
Malawi a moto,keep fire burning watch out sooner all Malawians wil be in flames tiyambe kuyenda ndi ma jelekani a madzi.. No wonder most politicians have hot tempers, moto wachibadwa kulalata.
Malawi a moto
This fire thing now in Malawi is boring us. Kodi why Malawi? I think city and town planners must take this seriously and in future they must not allow an individual to build up his own shop or else face charges, government must build these markets on behalf of vendors themselves who does substandard job including wiring end of t he day basi ndi mimoto tuonayi
dpp fire
boma loipa
Mmmmm koma abale. This is too much now. God help Malawi
Satanic wa dpp wavuta kusaukitsa anthu
Pastors, priests,prophets, Bishops,where are you? What are you waiting for? What is your responsibility lets join hands to stop this spirit of putting Malawi national on
and u said u have fire department who r just getting paid but they don’t show up where the fire is oar I forget they don’t have water. I think now we need to put a blame on our government.

Why are these fires only in Malawian markets??
Poorly built. Chaotic activities, kuphika momwemo, kuotcha mbatata, kupanda dongosolo. And finally, lack of emergency services in the country.
ma brothels achisembwere momwemo kkkk
so its everywhere i thought maybe its zambia only.
Sorry to all the people that have lost businesses and jobs in this market. May the Good Lord give you the courage and wisdom to pick up yourselves and forge ahead.
