Consumers Association of Malawi (CAMA) is warning Malawian consumers to be alert when they go shopping, saying some unscrupulous traders are charging different prices at the till than those displayed on shelves. In a public notice issued on Thursday, May 6, CAMA says most traders have taken advantage of the current economic downturn — coupled with the effects of CoVID-19, which have created scarcities and price increases on some goods and services. “Most of the price increases are unjustifiable and pure theft with no better economic explanations and some are tampering with weights and contents of their packages,” said CAMA executive director, John Kapito in the statement.
