Radio Islam Listeners in Kanengo Zone have turned out in large numbers for a meeting aimed at strengthening unity, cooperation and the development of the association in the area.
The meeting, held at Kanengo Zone Headquarters at Cleraz Mosque in Area 25, Kanengo, brought together members from different communities who expressed their commitment to working together to strengthen the association.
Speaking during the gathering, Kanengo Zone Trustee and former President of the Radio Islam Listeners Association, Brother Suleman AtupeIe Chitera, emphasised the importance of unity, cooperation and commitment as key pillars for strengthening the organisation.
Chitera said the strength of any organisation lies in the unity of its members, arguing that it is difficult to build a strong association when members are divided, fail to understand one another or work against each other.
He encouraged members from Chatata Area, Mgona, Area 49, Chimoka, Chakhuta Madzi, Lumbadzi and other communities to recognise that they all share equal responsibility for the development of Kanengo Zone.
“Radio Islam Listeners does not belong to one individual or leaders alone; it belongs to all of us. Therefore, its future is in our hands,” said Chitera.
He further stressed that membership of Radio Islam Listeners should not simply mean having one’s name on the membership register or listening to the radio station, but should involve actively participating in the association’s activities, supporting one another and encouraging others to contribute.
Chitera also urged leaders to demonstrate humility, listen to members’ views and remain committed to serving the people rather than simply seeking positions.
He said his vision was to see Kanengo Zone become a model for other zones through effective organisation, active membership, youth participation and stronger relationships between leaders and ordinary members.
During the meeting, Mayi Kaunga commended members for attending in large numbers and keeping time, describing their participation as a sign of commitment to the association’s activities.
Brother Haroon Duli also praised members for organising and attending what he described as a successful meeting. He encouraged everyone to actively volunteer and contribute to the association’s activities to help achieve its objectives.
Meanwhile, Brother Stanley Kapichira commended Chitera for demonstrating humility and encouraged members to embrace a fresh and positive beginning for Kanengo Zone.
He urged members to embark on a new journey of development with happiness and unity, leaving behind past issues that could undermine their cooperation.
Brother John Mambo reminded members that the next meeting would take place in Chatata next week, as part of efforts to sustain engagement and strengthen cooperation among Radio Islam listeners.
Brother Yusuf Chitsulo, who said he attended the meeting after hearing an announcement about the gathering, expressed gratitude for the opportunity, saying he had learnt several important things that would help him become more involved in the association’s activities.
Chitsulo also praised Chitera for his humility and efforts to revive and strengthen Kanengo Zone.
Mayi Bhima equally expressed happiness over the large turnout, saying the strong attendance demonstrated the strength and commitment of Radio Islam Listeners in Kanengo Zone.
At the end of the meeting, members were encouraged to continue working together, respecting one another, supporting the association’s activities and avoiding unnecessary disputes that could undermine its progress.
The gathering marks an important step towards strengthening the unity of Radio Islam Listeners in Kanengo Zone, as members look forward to a future built on cooperation, commitment and development.
Unity, Cooperation and Development must remain the foundation of Radio Islam Listeners in Kanengo Zone.
