Legislator for Chikwawa Nkombedzi Constituency, Abida Mia, has urged community leaders to be on the forefront in ensuring that market places and surroundings are always clean.

Mia said this on Friday after leading a clean up exercise at Ngabu Market and at the trading centre.

During her speech, Mia pledged to donate wheelbarrows and shovels for the Area Development Committee to be using in clean up initiatives.

The clean up exercise was organised by the market committee at Ngabu Market in collaboration with Chikwawa District Council.
