Description
[edit]In 2017 there had been a confrontation with the police after they refused to hand over a murder suspect to a mob gathered outside.[2]
Enukweni has a football team and they were one of several in Mzimba North constituency who competed for a large K6.5m prize offered by Rosemary Mkandawire in 2018. Mkandawire was a former CEO of Toyota Malawi and a prospective parliamentary candidate.[3]
Enukweni Community Day Secondary School has about 320 children. 45,000 euros was donated to rebuild a damaged classroom, train teachers and pay for a room of computers in 2023. The network charges should be addressed by a partnership with a school in Germany.[4][5]
In 2024 the bridge over the Luwazi river was completed by a second company after the first failed to complete. Three culverts had been created to allow the M1 road to be restored.[6] It had become impassable in January 2021 after water swept away a culvert.[7] Traffic had to be diverted for some time.[8]
