Me 30 years in Chilanga and I never got to know or hear of this Maria Langa despite her many highlighted community activities which may be known in some circles. The Charmaine Musonda I only heard of after the adoption of Mukata from discussants who seemed aggrieved that Charmaine had been short changed. The best for the Chilanga residents is an open community hall debate to have these contestants introduce themselves and explain their vision for bringing change to Chilanga not the usual song of roads but something like job creation to absorb the many languishing youths in the constituency!
