The Chewa Heritage Foundation (CHEFO) says it needs over K100 million to establish a cultural museum to preserve Chewa history in the country.
CHEFO’s Vice Chairperson Dr.Sefren Khumula
said this on Saturday at Dzoole village in Ntcheu during a cultural interaction event which brought together Chewas from Lilongwe, Dedza, Kasungu, Ntcheu and Balaka among other districts.
He said they expect the museum to be up and running within a period of five-years depending on availability of the resources.
Khumula said so far a piece of land has been bought at Msampha village in the area of Senior Chief Chadza in Lilongwe.
The Chewa people are the largest ethnic group in Malawi, representing a third of the population of approximately 20 million, and their language, Chichewa, is Malawi’s national language.
