Watipaso Mzungu
Malawi’s cities and major towns are expected to host a new wave of nationwide protests next Wednesday, April 21, 2021, as the Centre for Democracy and Economic Development Initiatives (CDEDI) takes to the streets to protest against ‘government’s punitive taxes, high levies and interest rates on loans and essential services and commodities’.
CDEDI executive director Sylvester Namiwa said since the government had defied their seven-day ultimatum to scrap off the value added tax (VAT) and other taxes of essentials goods such as edible cooking oil, his organization will now proceed to mobilize Malawians to hold nationwide demonstrations.
