Enukweni is a community in Malawi's Mzimba District about 50km from Mzuzu city. It is on the M1 road and near the Luwazi river.
In 2017 there had been a confrontation with the police after they refused to hand over a murder suspect to a mob gathered outside.[2]
Enukweni has a football team and they were one of several in Mzimba North constituency who competed for a large K6.5m prize offered by Rosemary Mkandawire in 2018. Mkandawire was a prospective parliamentary candidate.[3]
Catherine Mzumara was the 2015 local candidate. She announced a 15 million Kwacha football tournament to run over several months accompanied by talks and traditional dancing. The first event was in July at Thumbi Primary School.[4] She was elected.
Enukweni Community Day Secondary School has about 320 children. 45,000 euros was donated to rebuild a damaged classroom, train teachers and pay for a room of computers in 2023. The network charges should be addressed by a partnership with a school in Germany.[5][6]
In 2024 the bridge over the Luwazi river was completed by a second company after the first failed to complete. Three culverts had been created to allow the M1 road to be restored.[7] It had become impassable in January 2021 after water swept away a culvert.[8] Traffic had to be diverted for some time.[9]
