The heavy downpour has caused Thyolo District’s Minembo and Msuwadzi rivers to swell, which feeds the Thunga Dam. The DC’s office indicated that remedial works are underway to save the situation.

Officials from Southern Region Water Board (SRWB) say water problems at Malawi University of Science and Technology (MUST) in Thyolo can only end if Luchenza dam project is revived.
