Blantyre City to have modern minibus terminals

Blantyre City Council has signed a public private partnership pact with Web Tribe to construct modern minibus terminals in the City.

Dignitaries to the signing ceremony

The terminals to wear a new face are Mibawa, Limbe, Chilobwe opposite Blantyre market and Blantyre Bus Stands.

Under the 10 year Build, Operate and Transfer agreement, the company will also rehabilitate the existing structures at Limbe Bus depot, Limbe market car park and Blantyre market car park.

The Council is also introducing an automated revenue management system that will see the traffic wardens use point of sale devices for the collection of parking fees in the City. The project is expected to commence on November 8, 2020.

Mayor hands over face masks to vulnerable learners

His Worship Councillor Wild Ndipo has appealed to well-wishers to continue donating face masks towards the Donate a Mask Campaign which the Blantyre City Council is running.

The Mayor was speaking at Limbe Primary School on Friday (25 September 2020) when he handed over 10,000 face masks to vulnerable leaners in all the six educational zones in the City.

“The Council is aware that in the implementation of Covid-19 measures as Gazetted by the Government, some households may find observing these measures to be economically challenging,” said Ndipo. “It is heart-breaking that there are families in our city faced with the difficult choice to either buy a face mask for everyone, or to buy food.”

So far, the campaign has received support of face masks from Jacaranda School for Orphans (1,000), Pacific Limited (5,000) Universal Trading (5,000 masks and five thermo-scanners), National Bank of Malawi (1,000) and Blantyre Sports Club golfers (750).

The Donate a Mask Campaign followed the Malawi Government Gazette of 7th August 2020, which instituted new Covid-19 precautionary measures which among other things made wearing of face masks mandatory.

“My office is aware that in the implementation of Covid-19 measures as Gazetted by the Government, some households may find observing these measures to be economically challenging,” said Ndipo.

“It is heart-breaking that there are families in our city faced with the difficult choice to either buy a face mask for everyone, or to buy food,” added the Mayor.

The campaign is targeting to raise at least 15, 000 face masks and so far four companies and organisations have donated.
