In his remarks, Chimtengo commended Thyolo Central parliamentarian Dr. Phiri for coming up with the initiate to build houses for those affected with cyclone Freddy and they saw need to come in.
“Chibuku products is a friend of Malawians, we believe in social responsibility and giving back to our customers, when we heard that Thyolo central was having problems with cement to construct houses of victims of the disaster which left many homeless, we came in just as we did during the pick of the cyclone by donating food items to the victims of Thyolo central,” Chimtengo.
