Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>President Lazarus Chakwera has underscored the need for Malawian to promote and preserve Culture as a precursor for the country to foster social economic development and unity.<\/p>\n

Speaking earlier Paramount Chief Kyungu, bemoaned continued child marriages in the two districts and urged fellow Traditional Leaders to do more in stopping the malpractice.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we are to develop our two districts we must ensure that our youth today realize that they are the major human resource for development and key agents of social change and economic growth hence we must promote education,\u201d said his royal highness.<\/p>\n

He however asked Government for support in putting in place effective mechanisms that will help to end gender based violence and the promotion of girl child education.<\/p>\n

On his part Karonga Chitipa Heritage Vice Chairperson Wantwa Mwahimba, commended the people of the two districts for honoring the ceremony saying the cultural festival has increased the strong bond, love and cultural values shared among the people of Karonga and Chitipa.<\/p>\n
