Between 2019 and 202, CML laid off close to 300 workers due to what the company termed as ‘harsh economic climate change compounded by illegal entry of foreign beers into Malawi’.
The company’s senior manager, Godwin Ng’oma, said then that the company was continuously posting losses; hence, the decision by the management to retrench some of its members of staff to keep the brewer afloat.
