Sad
Honestly speaking Salima – Dwangwa Road is a death trap. The road is in bad shape, in fact there’s no road for cars in this stretch bit for pedestrian and bicycles. The most unfortunate thing is that the government is just very quite about the danger of this road. This is the road which gives sugar on the table of the state house, on the table of the Minister of Transport bit NO attention is being given to this death trap road. Because of the poor policies by our government : I love too can not take a serious cooperate responsibility of channeling the profits towards the construction of this road which gives them business. Malawi is indeed for sale and no one cares
