It houses a secondary school, rural water supply and agriculture offices, a Lutheran parish, a post office, a health centre and several big, medium and small businesses as well as a fairly big number of residencies.<br \/>While some residents dismissed the reports as \u201can election year ploy to tarnish the Government\u201d, others are already mobilizing themselves to hold protest marches should the alleged plan to close the police sub-station be implemented.<br \/>\u201cThe Onankali area is relatively safe exactly because of the presence of a police sub-station. Closing it would not make sense in terms of preventing and combating crime,\u201d said Onankali resident Stefanus Mvula.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"alignnormal\"><!-- MetaSlider 271797 not found --><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":273331,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-273329","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 -
