Govt To Install 13 Chiefs In Masvingo Province

Masvingo provincial administrator, Mr Fungai Mbetsa told The Herald that Government will install 13 chiefs across Masvingo Province in the coming two months once wrangles between families within the succession line have been solved. Mbesa said the wrangles are awaiting determination by the Provincial Chiefs’ Assembly.

Said Mbesa:

We have more than 13 new chiefs who will soon be appointed across the province over the next two months and we are closely working with the Provincial Chiefs Assembly to come up with a final decision on the occupancy of the vacant chieftainship some of which are currently held in an acting capacity. The process could have been completed by now, but there are still some areas where there are serious disputes over succession, but we are very happy that the Chiefs’ Assembly is trying by all means to expeditiously deal with the cases.
