Thanzi Chicks Limited has suffered a massive loss after an enraged mob looted over 10,000 chickens and vandalized property worth more than K500 million following the discovery of a dead body outside its M’bwatalika farm in Lilongwe. The violence erupted when villagers, upon finding the body near the farm’s perimeter, turned their anger on the business despite the incident being unrelated to the company’s operations. In January, the farm was targeted amid disputes involving local chiefs demanding allowances, free chickens, and access to manure. Thanzi Chicks Limited has injected approximately K24 billion into its operations, which include two large-scale farms and over 300 employees. Police say investigations into both the body and the mob attack are still underway.
