MUTHE SECRETARIAT SUMMONS TRUSTEE

Speaking from his office, Trustee Chingwalu confirmed that he was in possession of an invitation letter signed by MUTHE secretary Naomi Nyasulu but he is not aware of what will be discussed at the meeting as the leeter did not indicate the agenda. He said that he was in the process of ackowledging the invitation and requesting minutes of the MUTHE executive where the decision to summon him was agreed as well as the agenda of the said meeting.

The meeting was held in closed doors and lasted over an hour but both Chingwalu and the executive members who attended the meeting refused to comment on what was discussed at the meeting.

The meeting was attended by President Naomi Banda, Vice President Redson kambwiri, Secretary Naomi Nyasulu, Treasurer Auscar Njikho, Stage Manager Mirriam Mkamanga and Artistic Director Linda Mpando. Jacob Nthala, the Producer is still nursing his ankle and no communication from the Technical Director Omega Zambasa.

Trustee Sydney Ngwira has been out of MUTHE function this semester and with this good news, it is everyone's expectations to see him on or before the performance on 26th October.

In his appreciation text Trustee Sydney wrote: "Thanks everyone. I am sure u will unleash the same spirit on other collegues with similar predicament. I am ok and at home, thanks."

REHEARSALS HOT UP!

As the days drew nearer, rehearsals enter its fourth week ahead of the show. The performance that will include a dance troupe will be the firts of its kind to be perfomed in the four corners of the 9 years University Hall.

The student community is still pregnant with expectation for the show which they will part with MK50 to have a glimpse of the elite actors and actresses.
