I pay 3.20 Swiss Francs for a kilo of tomato at the local supermarket.
3.20 Swiss Franc is currently about 384.56 Malawi Kwacha
Compare this to current Malawi prices:
Shoprite 199.99 MK
Peoples 110.00 MK
At the market, between 10 to 50 MK for one tomato depending on its size.
We got to see the destructive power of tropical insects…. One of our cars stood idle for 3 weeks cos it needed to be repaired.
Within those 3 weeks termites got into the seats, started eating away the insulation on the wiring, and created short circuits with their discharge in the fusebox, and thus corroding the contacts.
