Mutfwang said the unholy act undermines his government’s effort to entrench harmonious living among all and sundry in the state.
Governor Mutfwang said his administration will no longer tolerate brutal killings of innocent citizens either in their farms or in any parts of the state while pursuing their legitimate means of livelihood.
The governor urged traditional, community and religious leaders as well as youths and women in the affected communities to collaborate with other stakeholders to commence dialogue and restore normalcy while criminal elements within the communities should be exposed to face the full wrath of the law
