We have also programmed to meet at Sosa for a get in together/AGM towards the end of the year. Try to be part of these events. Muhonge vulahi mu Mwami.

-: How many have registered with the group mr patty

-: 19 have registered. Govedi finally sold his hen. @⁨Govedi Muzami⁩. Shall he be crowned the whip? Hehe

-: Haha avasaniaga murambunanya izimbaru!engoko iiziyi kumbura Govedi yiihandikizi

-: Vasaniaga varura paa!

-: I'm really looking forward for the Dec get together ahango hitu Sosa Cottages where will drink and dine together and agree to disagree

-: Looking forward to that day

-: Which date chairman?

-: Still undecided.

-‬: But may be DECEMBER, the last week,for brainstorming? At least majority will be around?

-: Chairman we need to have a date set early. I have floated some ideas to Lungafa which I am sure will be collated with others to give us a Plan of Action to guide 2018 and yonder. Most importantly the element of participation as pegged on our constitution.
