Iftar is the evening meal that Muslims eat to break their fast during the holy month of Ramadan. Speaking on behalf of the attendees, Mr Muhammad Nassor Salim thanked the VP for maintaining the tradition of breaking fast with people.

He described the practice as commendable and a highly rewarding act of worship before Allah (SW).

Mr Salim further said that the people of the two regions of Pemba are satisfied with the country’s ongoing development, which is a result of the commitment and accountability of every government department in serving the people of Zanzibar.
