Business was back to normal in Malawi’s capital, Lilongwe on Wednesday after a strike by shop-workers in Old Town forced shops belonging to Malawians of Asian origin, Chinese, Burundians and Nigerians to close down on Monday and Tuesday, this week. The two-day strike crippled business.
Owners claimed a loss of between K70 million (about $175 000) and K80 million (about $200 000). In the photograph, customers are seen walking out of a Chinese shop in Area Two.— THOKO CHIKONDI, Staff Writer
