Luanda: The new representative of the Luvale-Luena people, Nyakatolo Anabela Ngambo Kaumba, expressed her concern Tuesday in Luanda about the low level of development in various sectors in eastern Moxico province. These concerns were presented to the first vice-president of the National Assembly, Américo Cuononoca, during an audience granted to the sovereign.
According to Angola Press News Agency, Nyakatolo Anabela Ngambo Kaumba stressed the need for more access roads to the region, as well as the improvement and increase of facilities and professionals in the fields of education, health, agriculture, and catering. The queen emphasized the urgent need for greater local investment in these sectors and expressed hopes that current asymmetries will be reduced for the benefit of the population.
The traditional leader also raised concerns about the inadequate signal from Angolan Public Television (TPA) and National Radio, which is not being received in various areas of the region. She welcomed the recent politic
al administrative division of the country, which will split Moxico province into two-Moxico and Moxico Leste-believing it will bring services closer to the population.
Nyakatolo is a royal title of nobility given to the sovereign of the Luvales-Luenas peoples, with the line of succession being female and matrilineal. This royal title originates from the traditions of the now-defunct Lunda Kingdom, which existed in south-central Africa.
