Comment on jobs created (domestic)
Illovo Malawi employs around 10,000 people of which 55% are permanent workers and 45% are seasonal workers. Illovo Malawi also hires workers indirectly through independent agencies. A report published found that employees are unhappy with the working hours and working targets per day. Communities are also unhappy with the wages- overtime pay and bonuses have been removed. The workers also only receive one pair of safety equipment per year- which is not sufficient. The report also states that the company used interrogations to intimidate the victims of accidents and prevent them from demanding compensations.
