Chitongwe Village Headman, in Chikanta Chiefdom, Kalomo, is pleased with the ongoing construction of a mortuary at Habulile Mini-Hospital.
Van Hamusikili tells Byta FM News that the facility, the first of its kind in the area, will allow residents of Dundumwezi Constituency sufficient time to prepare for a dignified send-off of their deceased loved ones.
He notes that, due to the absence of a mortuary in the area, residents are often compelled to bury their deceased relatives in haste to prevent deterioration.
Meanwhile, Similindi Village Headman, from the same chiefdom, Bedson Munyemba, has praised the local contractor working on the project for the quality of workmanship.
Munyemba is hopeful that the project will be completed before the onset of the rains.
