An independent presidential candidate for 2025 elections Isaiah Emmanuel Sunganimoyo, has appealed to those that have a helping hand of giving whatever they have to others, to come in and help the people under T/A Mkanda in Mulanje district.
Sunganimoyo has claimed that people in the villages of Nalikata, Likhomo, Kondwelo, Mphaya, Magombo, Tembenu and other surrounding villages, have crossed the borders to Mozambique to look for piece-works in exchange of food for their survival.
He said even if Mec voter registration exercise is being conducted in the district, many people are not patronizing centres as villages have been disserted expressing fears that these people will be denied their right to vote for a candidate of their choice case in point hunger.
Speaking through a video clip, Sunganimoyo said he wanted to find out why people are not going for voter registration and a national outcry that no national Identity Card (ID) no chance to vote for candidates in the 2025 elections.
Sunganimoyo said he visited some villages in parts of southern and eastern regions saying it was heartbreaking to see many villages in the area of T/A Mkanda in Mulanje district with no people and after enquiring their whereabouts, he was told that many are in the neighboring Mozambique.
He said this hunger crises has not only affected areas under T/A Mkanda but the whole district of Mulanje and many districts, people are sleeping with empty stomachs a development which demand urgent attention not only by government, but NGOs, church organizations and well-wishers.
The independent presidential candidate has made a special appeal to Christian churches and Mosques in the surrounding villages whose people are hunger-stricken to do something and after giving them food, they should encourage them to work hard in their fields to avert hunger.
He said in villages whose people are affected by hunger crises, children are not going to school due to lack of food describing this as a threat to the future generation that they will not contribute positively to the development of their areas, communities, district and the country as a whole.
“To those whose hands are blessed to support others with food for their survival, I am urging you to share a little food you have for the beneficiaries not to forget you for life,” said Sunganimoyo.
He has finally appealed to Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) and political parties to take lead to help the people of Mulanje and other districts to save them from being escorted to early graves because of hunger which is biting hard in many households.
