The presidential entourage, which included Vice President Dr. Micheal Bizwick Usi and other esteemed government officials, as well as prominent Zomba business leaders, embarked on a comprehensive tour of the city’s burgeoning development projects.
The president’s first stop was the vibrant Zomba Main Market, where he was warmly welcomed by the jovial vendors. Immersing himself in the vibrant atmosphere, President Chakwera engaged in a purchasing spree, economically interacting with the hardworking merchants with his patronage.
