Manyatta Youth Entertainment executive director Nicholas Songora says the organization is open to strategic partnership and collaborations with envisioned leaders.

He insists that MAYE opens doors to focused leaders with the ability to distinguish between politics and development.

“We are open to strategic partnership as MAYE, I think the most important thing is to have leaders who can separate politics from development,” he said.

He thanked the office of the senator for the initiative saying it will not only empower local communities but also uplift their living standards.

Locals from Mwangala, Dongo Kundu, Kaya Mtongwe, Mbuta, Tembo and Siji villages are expected to benefit from the project.
