President Dr. Lazarus Chakwera on Wednesday visited Mpatsa Primary School temporaly structures in Nsanje District.

The school relocated due to devastation by the effects of Tropical Cyclone Freddy.

Member of Parliament for Nsanje, Kafandikhale Mandevana appealed the President to consider speeding up the construction works of the new school.

“Learners are facing challenges including lack of teaching and learning materials because they were all washed away during Cyclone Freddy,” said Mandevana.

Chakwera also visited the old Mpatsa Primary School which was buried in sand and the president is presiding over the groundbreaking ceremony construction of the new school.

The President has fulfilled several engagements in Nsanje District which include welcoming of an inaugural train hauling 1.2 litres of petroleum products from Beira in Mozambique and inspecting of a newly constructed TB Ward at the district hospital.
