Our Story
MalondaPlace was founded in 2025 in Lilongwe, Malawi, with a clear mission: to build Malawi's most trusted digital marketplace — one that prioritizes safety, simplicity, and real human connections.
We saw a gap: many online trading platforms in Malawi lack verification or feel unsafe. So we built MalondaPlace differently — starting with WhatsApp verification for every seller, ensuring no anonymous accounts, and enabling safe, local trades in Lilongwe first.
Our Mission
To empower everyday Malawians to buy and sell with confidence, safety, and ease — using technology that works for them, not against them.
Why We're Different
WhatsApp-First Verification
Every seller must verify their WhatsApp number before listing. This builds trust and reduces fraud — one of the biggest challenges in online trading in Malawi.
100% Free to List
Basic listings are completely free. This helps small sellers, students, and families participate without barriers — a core value for MalondaPlace in Malawi's economy.
Built for Malawi, by Malawians
We understand local context: cash payments, WhatsApp communication, safety concerns, and the culture of face-to-face meetups. Our design reflects all of this specifically for the Malawian market.
Our Core Values
- Trust over scale: Quality verified sellers over large anonymous numbers
- Simplicity: No confusing features, just clear listings and safe trades
- Local first: Designed for Malawian phones, context, and community needs
- Transparency: No hidden fees, no fake reviews
- Security: Your safety and data protection come first
