The Mzuzu City Council will hold a World Aids Day commemoration event today as the council continues to encourage residents to get tested.
According to Mzuzu City Aids Coordinator Augustine Gama, the event will be called Mzuzu Aids day and will be held at Masasa close to Mzuzu golf course.
It is a continuation of the World Aids day which is commemorated at National level and World level on 1 December every year.
“The whole event had been sponsored by organizations which are within Mzuzu,” he said.
