Minandi Pledges Extra Support for Zomba Likangala Constituents

People’s Party Shadow MP Martha Minandi (Akuka) has vowed to continue supporting youths affected by poverty and unemployment in Zomba Likangala in the Traditional Authority Mwambo.

Minandi said this during a two-day boys and girls bonanza at Chichiri Primary School’s football ground.

“I will keep empowering youths through sports, rather than letting them fall into drug abuse and harmful activities,”

Minandi revealed she has spent over K1.6 million on youth empowerment and urged other well-wishers to join in.

Her initiatives align with former President Dr. Joyce Banda’s vision, according to Bonanza Chairperson Goodson Potani.

The bonanza saw eight teams participate, with Youngster taking top honors in football (5-3 penalties against Chitowe) and Sweepers netball team winning 25-20 against Iwisa.

The winning teams received K50,000 (boys) and K40,000 (girls), with smaller prizes for second and third place.

Village Headman Nambesa, Lucy Phiri, praised Minandi’s efforts, citing them as proper mentorship and alternatives to harmful behaviors.
