World War veterans receive K200 (US41.25) per month

The government of Malawi pays soldiers who fought in the Second World War K200 (US$1.25) as pension benefits.
This is hardly enough to buy two Kilogrammes of the staple maize flour, let alone sustain the veterans- people who sacrificed a lot to a achieve world peace.
Some of the veterans, only 32 now remain in Malawi at the moment, expressed disappointment with the amount of pension benefits they get monthly, describing it as a “mockery to our efforts”.
Brigadier General John Msonthi, one of the Malawi Defense Force soldiers who have been soliciting help for the veterans, confirmed the development and figure.
Msonthi blamed lack of resources for the veterans’ predicament.
“We really need help because current resources are not enough,” said Msonthi.
