In Blantyre, a group of concerned citizens from Malabada has organized a demonstration to address the poor state of the road network in Ndirande township. Led by community leader Taliki Pongolani, the protesters are demanding that authorities take immediate action to repair and upgrade the roads, with a particular focus on the critical stretch from Chinseu to Malaysia.
The protest, which primarily involves young people from the area, began at Kamuzu Upper Stadium and is making its way to the district commissioner’s office. The demonstrators are calling for urgent intervention to address the road conditions they believe are affecting their daily lives and safety.
The demonstration highlights growing frustration among residents over infrastructure issues and reflects a broader demand for improved public services in Blantyre.
