[figganigga]

𝖧𝖠𝖡𝖠𝖱𝖨 𝖬paka wa Kasumulu, pole kwa ukimya wa mda mrefu kufuatia taarifa ya ujumbe wa sauti kutoka kwa Mwenyekiti wa Madereva Nchini Malawi. Iliotumwa na Mjumbe mwenzetu "Ndugu Amani Jackson Mwangwasi.

Sisi kama viongozi tumefanya jitihada za kuwatafta uongozi wa Madereva, Tumefanikiwa kumpata Mwenyekiti wa Madereva Nchini Malawi, Ndugu Francis Mkandawile, tumeongea nae kwa njia ya simu na ameweza kututhibishia kufuatia tamko ilo walilo litoa. Sababu kubwa nikutokana na mishahara ya madereva kutoka kwa wamiliki wa magari Nchini Malawi kuwa midogo, na ivyo kutaka waweze kuongezewa mishahara kutoka kwa ao waajiri wao, ambao ndio wamiliki wa Magari ayo.

Na ilo zoezi litaanza rasmi kuanzia tarehe 01/07/2025 adi kufikia hitimisho tarehe 03/07/2025. Naomba mawakala wote tufikishe taarifa kwa wateja wetu ambao ni wamiliki wa magari ya kubeba mizigo (malori)

Truck drivers protest 40% wage adjustment​

May 20, 2025

Truck Drivers Union has protested the recently approved 40 percent hike in the minimum wage, insisting on 150 percent increase to match the rising cost of living.

The union has since warned that its members will ground trucks if government does not review the recent hike.

Truck Drivers Union vice-president Francis Mkandawire said in an interview yesterday that the union will not accept the 40 percent minimum wage increase and wants government to revise the hike to at least 100 percent.

He said: “Once the sit in starts, no truck will be on the road. The government may not value us now, but when we go on strike, they will know that we play a very important role to the economy because goods will become scarce.”

Mkandawire accused government of siding with transporters on the matter.
Minister of Labour Peter Dimba announced the 40 percent adjustment to the minimum wage last Tuesday.

At the time, Truck Drivers Union and Malawi Congress of Trade Unions (MCTU) said they were not satisfied with the 40 percent increase, considering the high cost of living in the country.

However, when The Nation followed up on the matter yesterday, MCTU said it has resolved to accept the adjustment while the truck drivers stated that they maintain their position that the 40 percent increase was on the lower side.

Yesterday, Dimba asked the drivers to negotiate with their employers for higher pay, saying government only set a minimum wage.

“Actually, they should be thanking us that we are protecting them. However, government cannot dictate maximum salaries that employers should pay their workers,” he said.

In a separate interview, Transporters Association of Malawi spokesperson Frank Banda said while transporters appreciate the truck drivers concerns, transporters too have been affected economically.

He said: “Currently, the private sector pays K140 per tonne per kilometre and government pays K240 per tonne per kilometre, but as transporters, we want the rate to be in the range of K400 to K450 per tonne per kilometre.
“We want government to bring in a consultant to assess the operation costs, but government is yet to do that. If we are to increase the salaries, it is not just for drivers, there are other workers that we also employ.”

Initially, MCTU had asked government to increase minimum wage by at least 100 percent to cushion workers from high cost of living.

Following the 40 percent increase in minimum wage, the general minimum wage increased from K90 000 to K126 000 per month, domestic minimum wage increased from K52 000 to K72 800 per month, micro enterprise minimum wage moved from K75 000 to K105 000 per month.


For 30 tonnes and above international truck drivers, the minimum wage increased from K234 500 to K328 300 per month while for local truck drivers, was revised from K167 500 to K234 500 per month. For trucks below 30 tonnes, the minimum wage increased from K100 500 to K140 700 per month

Sasa Samia anausika vipi na siasa za Malawi?

 

[baba-mwajuma]

Kwacha za Malawi 100k ni kama laki na nusu ya Tanzania, Huku Madereva Malori wanalipwa Vizuri zaidi,

Kama unataka Utoe mfano wa sisi kuangalia maybe Congo wanalipa vizuri zaidi na ndio watanzania wengi wanakimbilia kufanya kazi za usafiri.

Sasa Samia anausika vipi na siasa za Malawi?

Hata mimi sijaeleŵa kusudio lake!

Labda anamaanisha hata matruck ya Tanzania yamezuiliwa kutembea na madereva wa Malawi?

Soma post #3 ya bagamoyo ina maelezo ya msingi wa mgogoro ni maswala ya siasa za Malawi.

Mengine ni yale mambo yetu, akili zetu watanzania zinatutosha wenyewe.

Wage rates ni swala la demand and supply, skills difficulty and available candidates (more complicated in economics rationale, than I have put it)

Kwa nadharia, hiyo☝️(be it a simple, explanation).

Serikali inapoweka minimum wage inaangalia cost of living ya nchi yao.

Na kila nchi ina supply ya driver, mshahara nao unategemea urahisi wa ku-replace mtu akiacha kazi.

Ugumu wa kupata muuzaji dukani na manager wa duka sio sawa.

Sasa Tanzania, Malawi, Congo, Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda Mozambique na South Sudan; hatufanani kwa mambo mengi ya factors za ajira na minimum wages za mishahara.

Mambo ya Malawi (have nothing, to do with us).

Nimeongezea nyama tu kwenye hoja yako ya msingi,

Hapo Rais Samia kaingiaje?

1 kwacha sawa na 1.5 TZS.

450 per tone per km Sawa na 675 per tone per km. Kutoka Dar es Salaam hadi Lilongwe Malawi sawa na wastani wa KM 1547. Maana yake kama nimeelewa vizuri wanataka walipwe 1,044,225 kwa tone 1 kutoka Dar es Salaam hadi Malawi Lilongwe. Sasa kwa lorry. So ikiwa lorry litabeba tani 30 maana yake walipwe Tanzania shillings 31,326,750. Kwa huo mzigo. Najaribu tu kufanya hesabu walizo sema. Kama nimeelewa tofauti mnieleweshe. Kama hivi ndivyo basi madai yao ni ngumu kutekelezwa. Madai yao makubwa sana. Itasababisha bidhaa nyingi kuwa juu kupita kiasi. Lazima wakubaliane na economic situation ya Nchi. Angalau wangeweka per day ambayo kwa wastani wa siku 5 mzigo uwe umefika Lilongwe hapo kuwe hakuna hitilafu. Ambayo sawa na 5,221,125 shillings ndani ya siku tano. Hata hivyo hela nyingi sana hii. Mshahara wa mbunge wa Tanzania bila marupurupu mengine. Wajaribu kushirikisha ubongo na wataalam wawashauri vizuri. Hali itakuwa ngumu sana economically.
