“The training will run for one week with the owners of different driving schools across the country with the sole aim of imparting the required skills to them,” he said.

In his remarks the Chief Executive Officer for MERA, Collins Magalasi said: “Malawi has been experiencing in transit loses of fuel which among other factors is due to the risky behavior of siphoning fuel from the tankers which some drivers do on the way.”
