MBABANE – Members of Parliament (MPs), on Saturday donated E9 000 towards groceries of elderly people of Msunduza Chiefdom under Mbabane East Constituency.
It was a happy day for the 12 elderly people who were selected by the Legislators, as they returned home without worrying much about the source of their next meal.

However, while the five women were chosen, a sixth one forcefully joined. While the Msunduza Community Police tried to stop this senior citizen, Nkambule pleaded with them to allow her to join, as the Lawmaker believed he was chosen by the Lord. This means he had to part with E6 000.

Seeing that elderly men had not been chosen, MPs Lushaba, Ngcamphalala, and Shiba pledged E3 000 to cover groceries for the six elderly men under Mbabane East. It was a day to remember for many other residents, as they got gifts from all of the Legislators who attended the event.
