Mzuzu City honours SA water board

Mzuzu City Council (MCC) has named a road leading to Northern Region Water Board (NRWB) offices Bloemwater Street in honour of the 17-year-old relationship between NRWB and the South African water utility.

Speaking at the unveiling ceremony of the street on Tuesday, Mzuzu City deputy mayor Frazer Chunga said the council is reciprocating the honour that South Africa bestowed on Malawi by naming a road leading to Bloemwater offices Mzuzu Street.

Bloemwater board chairperson Matlhogonolo Maboe thanked the council for naming the street after their water board, saying they would not have been honoured without the relationship.

NRWB chairperson Peter Mwanza said 30 employees at NRWB have already visited Bloemwater to tap skills in water development, distribution and treatment.

NRWB supplies potable water to Mzuzu City and main towns and district centres in the Northern Region. n
