The government Department for Human Resources and Management Development have written to Satemwa and Msuwadzi Smallholders tea growers advising them they cannot ‘employ’ a VSO volunteer to help them with capacity building and project co-ordination for their Fairtrade projects.
The government have explained that this job should be done by a local Malawian employee.
The current VSO volunteers working with the two organisations, Michael Shaw & Penny Hayler, are due to finish in October, in line with original contracts. They will not be replaced.
