Musician and former Big Brother Africa (BBA) representative Code Sangala, better known as C.O., has said they have a new target of raising K30 million in the malaria project.<\/p>\n
The musician, who performed at Kwa Haraba Art Gallery and Caf\u00e9 in Blantyre on Friday, sharing the stage with ethno-musician Waliko Makhala and Annemarie Quinn from the United Kingdom, (UK) indicated last year in November that they were seeking to raise K10 million in the malaria project.<\/p>\n
But C.O. said the new target for them between now and April 25, which happens to be World Malaria Day, is to raise K30 million.<\/p>\n
He said he was happy with the way things have progressed in the project in which he is using music to fight the disease.<\/p>\n
The \u2018Mukunama\u2019 star was the last to perform at the show at Kwa Haraba which went all the way to midnight, with a few locals in attendance .<\/p>\n
During the show, there was also the screening of a documentary explaining what music against malaria is all about.<\/p>\n
C.O. worked on the documentary with Quinn.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe hit a million mark last week and we are getting a lot of pledges which we will collect and then officially announce,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The singer and guitarist said the corporate world is interested in supporting the music against malaria project, citing Total Malawi.<\/p>\n
C.O. said he has been involved in the malaria project for sometime but that, at first the focus was on prevention in general but now the focus is on children.<\/p>\n
He said he decided to take a particular interest in children because they are future leaders.<\/p>\n
\u201cChildren have to be healthy and so one of the diseases putting them at risk is malaria.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd the situation is not healthy at the moment as noticed at Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital in Blantyre. There is need for, among other things space,\u201d the musician said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are lots of companies that have pledged towards this cause. And tonight we auctioned a South African Airways ticket to Cape Town, South Africa, with a minimum bid of K300,000,\u201d said C.O.<\/p>\n
Quinn, who is from the UK but is based in Malawi, said she was happy to work with C.O. in the music against malaria project.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
