This hatched a formulation of Radio Dinosaur FM which is at Karonga Old Town (Old MRA buildings) and it provides a suitable place for interaction with diverse kinds of people. The area is rich in history with its Kya-Ngonde tradition, the beauty of the Cultural diversity, and also the palaeontological, and archaeological heritage and precious stones like Uranium and Coal, these hoards are very important stories worth celebrating, treasuring, and indeed sharing with the Community. The fauna is similar to that discovered in South Africa. The area has also proved to be the home of a dinosaur world. Evidence of dinosaurs in the district has made a Radio to derive its name.

*Head Village Headmen under PGVH Katolola Urged to Clear Village Roads*

Head village headmen under Principal Group Village Headman Katolola in the Kaluma South area have been urged to start clearing and maintaining roads in their respective villages.

These remarks were made by representative of Group Village Headman Mwaleba, Kenani Mwandwanga, during a community road-clearing exercise in his area.

Mwandwanga said they decided to begin clearing the village roads to reduce transport and travel challenges, which traditionally worsen during the rainy season.

Also commended the area's Councilor, Bilton Mwalweni for his humility and for physically joining the community to work on the project.

In his remarks, Councilor Bilton Mwalweni highly praised all the local leaders—including Mwaleba, Mwambuli, Mwamalopa, and Mwahoboke for cooperating with him and taking the initiative to clear their village roads.

Mwalweni also commended the strong unity between himself and these traditional leaders, which he believes is essential for developing and transforming the area.

The Department of Mining under the Ministry of Energy and Mining said that the country's mining sector is lagging far behind and underperforming, as the revenue the state generates from it does not even reach 1%.

Director of Department of Mining Martin Mkasala,disclosed this during a one-day training workshop held in Lilongwe which organized for investigative journalists by the Association of Business Journalists (ABJ).

Martin Mkasala, said that the stagnation of the GDP occurred because the mining sector is one of the key areas meant to drive the country's economy forward which indicated that the country's administration under Professor Peter Mutharika directed the mining department to ensure that, by the year 2030, mining operations should contribute 10% to the economy, and in 2063 reach 25%.

Mkasala added that this training will greatly assist investigative Journalists to writing mining stories that are accurate and truthful, which is crucial for every Malawian to understand and follow the sustainable mining development plans.

ABJ Vice coordinator Alex Banda, said that this training will help Journalist thoroughly understand how mining operations run and how they contribute to the national economy so that the country can progress.
