Africa-Press – Angola. One hundred and 61 families, of the approximately two thousand affected by the rains in the period from November 2023 to the present date, in the municipality of Malanje, began to receive land and zinc sheets for self-construction directed in the Quiriri neighborhood, with a view to their definitive resettlement.
The households, which are currently housed in the Arena Palanca Negra Pavilion, also benefited from spaces and seeds for the development of agricultural activity and basic food baskets.
When handing over the resources, the provincial governor of Malanje, Marcos Nhunga, said the foundations had been created so that families could build their homes in safe areas.
He defended the need for all beneficiaries to dedicate themselves diligently to building homes, otherwise the works would be affected due to the rains in March and April, which tend to be more intense.
In turn, the municipal administrator of Malanje, Fernandes Cristóvão, said that while the construction of the residences lasts, the families will continue to be settled in the Pavilhão Arena Palanca Negra, and should only move after the construction is completed.
He stressed that the process of providing resources for the resettlement of the remaining victims of the accident continues, having ensured that the conditions for insurance and medical and social assistance are also created.
However, in a message, the beneficiary families praised the government’s initiative, considering that it contributes to improving living conditions.
