“Chibuku product is a friend to the people of Thyolo and the nation at large. We believe in social responsibility and giving back to our customers. When we heard that Thyolo Central was having a self-initiative led by its lawmaker to rebuild what was lost.

“We came in and helped with 200 bags of cement to construct houses for victims of the disaster which left many people homeless. We came in just as we did during the pick of the cyclone by donating food items to the victims of Thyolo Central”, said Chimtengo.

On his part, Phiri who is also an opposition Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) senior member lauded Chibuku products for timely support.
