This may result in the adoption of a new law, amendment of a constitution or the public making an important decision on a social or political issue
However, in Chipata city, Referendum is a place that over 5,000 people call home. It is located on Umodzi highway, about 1.5km from the central business district.
How the township earned its name is a million-dollar question that begs an answer.
