Rest in peace.

It’s a sad day for the Paola locals as the locality is mourning the loss of a great man, Mr Joseph Zahra. Mr Zahra was unfortunately Malta’s 25th COVID-19 victim announced earlier today. He served the locality on the council’s executive team for some years, and in honour, the Paola Local Council shared a tribute post.

“The Mayor, Deputy Mayor, Councillors, Executive Segretary and the staff at the Paola Local Council offers their condolences to the family of Mr Joseph Zahra who passed away last night,” they started off. “Mr Zahra served on Paola’s Local Council as Deputy Mayor between 2001 and 2004.”
