A PATRIOTIC Front (PF) member in Livingston­e has donated Covid-19 preventive materials worth K80,000 to the district and constituen­cy leadership to be distribute­d to the 17 wards in the area.

Ms Marimba Mutinta Mwanamwaly­e made the donation towards the fight against coronaviru­s yesterday, emphasisin­g that the fight against the pandemic was not for the government alone.

She said that as a Livingston­e resident, it was her responsibi­lity to ensure that citizens were empowered with hygienic soap, hand sanitizers, face masks and other materials related to the fight against Covid-19.

“I have realised that Livingston­e is a town that borders with Zimbabwe, Botswana and also Namibia. So, we have these truckers that use our border to transport goods

“I will also go round the district to check on the situation and also lobby other well-wishers to come on board and fight this disease,” Ms Mwanamwaly­e said.

She said that the

Government had been working very hard in fighting the pandemic ad thus citizens should join in.

“I believe this small gesture will go a long way in the fight against the coronaviru­s,” she said.

Earlier, PF District chairman, John Mukosho, castigated opposition political leaders who were politicisi­ng the fight against COVID-19.

He said the PF Government had performed exceptiona­lly well and the results would help the party retain power in 2021.
