Local government officials praised young people from the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Mzimba for their community work, especially their help with making the Kavukura Bridge safer. Nearly 100 young church members from different SDA congregations across Mzimba Boma joined forces to remove sand that blocked the bridge. This blocked sand created problems for both cars and people walking across the structure. The cleanup effort addressed a situation that had become increasingly dangerous for travelers.
Yamikani Nyalugwe, who serves as the Mzimba District Youth Officer, spoke highly of these young people's actions. He called them a great example of how youth can take part in making their communities better. He said the government wants more young citizens to help with local projects like these church members did. Their actions demonstrated exactly what community involvement should look like.
The young SDA members acted because they worried about people's safety at the bridge. Master Guide George Chanza explained they stepped in because the blocked bridge put lives at risk and made travel hard. Cars could only use one lane of the bridge because of all the sand, which caused dangers and made night travel risky because of possible robbery. The situation had become serious enough to require immediate action.
Another leader, Master Guide Lifa Tembo, talked about how helping others builds stronger neighborhoods. She explained that their work shows love and care for everyone around them. As people who follow Christian teachings, she believes they need to make positive changes wherever possible. Their faith motivates them to serve through practical actions.
People living near the bridge felt happy about the young volunteers' work. Many said cleaning up the bridge would make travel safer and easier for everyone. They thanked the church youth for helping reduce possible accidents and making transportation better in their area. The community recognized the significant impact this service project would have.
The young church members plan to keep doing similar helpful projects. This shows they stay committed both to helping their community and to following their religious beliefs through actions rather than just words. The bridge cleanup represents just one way they hope to serve the Mzimba community going forward. Their dedication to service creates lasting benefits for everyone who uses local roads.
