Angola/Kuando-Kubango: Returnees get several products in aid

Menongue, 05/03 - Angolan minister of Family Issues and Women Promotion, Candida Celeste, on Wednesday here handed over several goods for ex-refugees that returned from the Republic of Zambia, Angop has learnt.

This donation to Angolan returnees settled in the south-western Kuando-Kubango Province will be added up to the 50 tons of products recently granted by the association of former Angolan students in Zambia (Ajapraz) to the local government, for the victims of the rains that hit the region.

Speaking to the population, the minister said this gift is not enough but will minimise their difficulties, and that the authorities will make sure the building of schools, health and training centres for women will be carefully followed by the provincial government.

Attended the act the local governor, Joao Baptista Tchindandi, his deputy for Organisation, Francisco Manjolo, directors and provincial delegates, among others.
