Moving forward, we shall sit down as vendors and will definitely move to make the injunction lifted to allow smooth elections,\u201d Njoloma said.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier, Blantyre District Council Chairperson, Mussa Chikwakwa said the market wrangles affected the council considering that revenue collection dropped drastically.<\/p>\n<p>Chikwakwa, therefore, expressed optimism for a developed Lunzu, saying unity is power which will give them conducive environment to ply their trade.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Malawi.
