‘We have a number of important issues that require our collective inputs and decisions. Looking at concerns, complaints and outstanding issues related to land distribution in the town is evident that we should think fast and find solutions to t
\nhese problems,’ he said.<\/p>\n
Shalyefu indicated that their role in ensuring that they guide and advocate for development from Government has never been more important than it is right now.<\/p>\n
