THE Katonha twins have launched an association for twins in Mozambique.
Farai Lawyer Katonha and Tendai Mayor Katonha were invited to Chimoio as chairpersons of the Southern Africa Development Committee of Twins Association (SADCTA).
They launched the Mozambique association at Messicca District in Chimoio on Saturday where they met traditional and church leaders.
They also met other twins.
The Katonha twins told H-Metro that their regional engagements were meant to address challenges faced by twins and multi births.
“Our office is inundated with calls from here at home and in the region over issues being faced by mothers of twins and multi births,” the Katonha brothers said.
“Traditional and church leaders in Mozambique shared with us that there are a number of twins and multi births within their districts.
“The challenges faced by the mothers of twins and multi birth are the same within the region.
“We are lacking enough support, both financially and legally, to make strides in making sure these challenges are addressed.
“We need schools, hospitals, transport, legislation and a collective national responsibility to help the mothers of twins and multi births.”
The Katonha twins recently opened a school for twins in Zambia.
