Speaking during a political rally organized by the Malawi Congress Party (MCP), the chief lamented the continued deterioration of infrastructure in the area, urging the government to act swiftly.

“The Chiringa-Muloza road was also damaged after rockslides from Mulanje Mountain blocked it, making transportation and trade difficult for people in Phalombe, Mulanje, and even parts of Mozambique,” said Chief Phweremwe.

In response, Brown Mpinganjira of the MCP said the chief’s message would be delivered to President Lazarus Chakwera for urgent attention and possible intervention in addressing the challenges.
