Super Sakuwa Steel Limited has called for more investments in vocational skills and small scale businesses if the country is to develop.<\/p>\n
The company\u2019s Sales Executive for the Southern Region, Linda Maluwa, said this on the sidelines of the launch a builders and carpenters of association in Blantyre.<\/p>\n
The company is supporting local builders and painters to form regional associations.<\/p>\n
Maluwa said vocational skills, such as painting and building, could spur economic activities in the country and in the long-run, help in empowering individuals economically.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe importance of painters and builders to the country\u2019s construction industry can never be over emphasised, that is why as a company, we are supporting these artisans to form associations so that they can easily access loans, apart from speaking with one voice on issues that affect them,\u201d Maluwa said.<\/p>\n
She also reiterated her company\u2019s commitment to supply Malawians with good and affordable steel for roofing.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe appreciate the role quality products can play to the country\u2019s construction sector, so it is our pledge to continue supplying the local market with quality goods,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
On his part, newly elected Chairperson for the Builders Association Southern Region chapter, Richard Banda, said the association will be crucial in ensuring the advancement of the industry in Malawi.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor a long time, people have been looking down upon us. It is now time that we change this perception and enhance our entrepreneurial skills,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Over 300 hundred builders and carpenters have registered as new members of the association.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
