It's a sign that economic development is taking place in our district. We encourage the Karan Group for such investments in the district, especially knowing that Mpongwe is a farming block and as farmers have invested in many fuel-propelled machines. Karan Group should be assured of good business not only from the farming community but also from the new local mining industry.
