MP Thoko Tembo reaches out to a fire victim in Neno

By Salome Gangire

Member of Parliament (MP) for Neno North, Thoko Tembo has appealed to well-wishers to help Neno district Council with resources, as the council is constructing a house for a fire victim, Mwandida Kabitchi.

Kabitchi’s house was set ablaze on 15th August, 2023 by children who were playing at the house and lost everything in the process.



Speaking Wednesday at Wilson 2 Village in the area of Traditional Authority Chekucheku when he donated assorted items including bags of cement towards the construction of the house, Tembo said the house needs more resources for it to be completed.

“I appeal to well-wishers to continue making donations for the completion of the house. The council is banking on support from well-wishers in the construction project as such they need to be supported,” Tembo said.

The MP said the house construction has stalled for two days now as the project has run out of sand and cement.

The legislator said he thought of making the donation to complement other well-wishers who have already started making donations so that the life of Kabitchi should return to normal as it was before the accident.

Chairperson for Chekucheku Area Civil Protection Committee Sydney Menyani thanked the MP for the donation and appealed for more well-wishers saying a permanent solution for Kabitchi is a house.

The donated items include cement, blankets, soap, sugar and clothes.
