Lwansonga community protest over lack of secondary school

Manyinga, January 8, ZANIS —-People of Lwansonga community in Manyinga district in North Western province today protested at the District Commissioner’s office over lack of a Secondary school in the area.

The seemingly irate community members led by area Councillor Robertson Kasongu complained to the District Commissioner and District Education Board Secretary that their area lacks proper infrastructure which includes a secondary school.

And addressing the community members, Manyinga District Commissioner Queen Manela who was franked by District Education Board Secretary Dickson Munkoyo assured the community members over government commitment to bringing development in the area, hence the declaration of Manyinga as a district.

Mrs Manela said in laison with the area Member of Parliament, His Royal Highness Chief Sikufele and the DEBS office it was deemed fit to build a secondary school in Kashinakaji area which she noted to be more populated and ideal for such a school immediately.

She stated that Kashinakaji has more qualified teachers, more populated and ideal for secondary school than Lwansongo which she said despite being centrally located, it has only one Dipoma holder teacher and a few certificate holders.

The District Commissioner however, informed the members that government is committed in bringing development to Lwansongo community with a Basic School being planned for.
