One of the social commentators in the country Joshua Chisa Mbele has questioned the involvement of Mary Chilima, a spouse to the country’s Vice President Dr. Saulos Chilima in the mining industry.

Mary Chilima through her facebook page is asking women who are into mining to send a text to her inbox so that they can enroll for a short course at MUBAS, formerly known as Polytechnic.

The course is for five days.

The post came barely hours after visiting a mining site in Central Region where she interacted with women into mining.

Writing on his official facebook page Mbele described Mary Chilima’s involvement as unfortunate.

“I was to say these messages are unfortunate.Mining is not the responsibility of the Wife of the Vice President.

“Let’s follow the procedures. I don’t think you can respond to harder questions based on this status,” wrote Mbele.

He added: “Izi zitayeni zitibweretsera udani pa Ndale.”

Meanwhile Chilima is yet to comment on the matter.
