Chief Malama’s area in Mambwe district of Eastern Province has been cut off from the rest of the district following the collapse of culverts after heavy rains.
District Commissioner Philimino Banda told ZANIS in an interview that the chiefdom which is in the valley area was cut off from Mambwe.
Mr Banda explained that a number of culverts have collapsed following heavy rains.
He stated that the recent road rehabilitation by Rural Roads Unit (RRU) did not include reconstruction of culverts despite the Malama road having a number of streams.
“You need to find out if it has been raining before you go to the area otherwise you get stuck, the culverts are collapsed” he said.
The area becomes impassable and in need of food aid during rainy seasons.
