BUILDING A BETTER MATERO NAWA NAWA'S VISION FOR 2026
By Dennis Sikazwe Jr
Aspiring Member of Parliament Mr. Nawa Nawa continues to inspire hope with his progressive initiatives. Yesterday was no exception, as he balanced meaningful engagements aimed at community empowerment and the recognition of national excellence.
The day began with a productive meeting alongside Matero's strong women, whose insights are pivotal in shaping a prosperous and inclusive constituency. This was followed by a state luncheon, a prestigious event attended under the stewardship of National Youth Chairperson Gilbert Liswaniso, Provincial Youth Chairperson Anderson Banda, and Vice Chairperson Godfrey Chitanga. The luncheon celebrated the incredible achievements of Zambia’s Under-17 football teams, who triumphed at the recent COSAFA tournament.
In a further testament to Zambia’s sporting excellence, the occasion also honored Diana Chikotesha, recently crowned Africa’s Best Female Assistant Referee, and Barbra Banda, who continues to shine as Africa’s Best Woman Footballer. Mr. Nawa Nawa expressed profound gratitude to the Republican President for his unwavering support of Zambian athletes, whose achievements uplift the nation’s spirit.
**Reviving Play Parks: A Commitment to Youth Development**
Turning his attention to Matero’s grassroots issues, Mr. Nawa Nawa has spearheaded an initiative to identify and restore land originally designated for play parks. Recognizing the critical role such spaces play in fostering youth development, he highlighted how their absence has contributed to the rise of social challenges, including substance abuse.
“Play parks are more than just recreational spaces; they are hubs of community activity, youth engagement, and personal growth,” he remarked. “The mismanagement of this land by the previous regime is a tragedy we must address.”
Through collaboration and determined leadership, Mr. Nawa Nawa is committed to reclaiming and rehabilitating these spaces, ensuring that Matero’s youth have access to environments conducive to healthy lifestyles and positive pursuits.
As he continues to gain momentum toward his 2026 parliamentary bid, Mr. Nawa Nawa’s actions reflect his overarching vision for Matero: a thriving community built on inclusivity, opportunity, and shared pride. With his focus on empowering women, recognizing achievements, and restoring critical infrastructure, he exemplifies the leadership Matero needs to navigate a brighter future.
