Southern Region Water Board (SRWB) has obtained a stay order on an injunction which some environmental activists obtained against the Nkhudzi Bay water project in Mangochi.

This development means that although the injunction stands, SRWB will continue with construction works at the area.

Deputy Minister of Water and Sanitation, John Bande, has said in an interview that the contractor of the treatment plant will resume work tomorrow.

According to Bande, the works are expected to be completed on December 31, 2022.

Bande has since asked people who are concerned about the project to prioritise dialogue instead of using other means which he says can delay the works.
