Invest in local companies to boost Malawi’s growth

Nico Life Gift’s Head of Sales, Kawamba, has called on Malawians to invest in local companies to drive growth and development in the country.

Speaking in Salima during an award ceremony for the company’s 2024 best-performing employees, Kawamba emphasized the importance of supporting local investments.

According to Kawamba, many people believe that capital investment is only for those with large sums of money, which is why they don’t invest.
