Chief Bere was installed in April 2019 when the chieftainship was revived after being dormant for 96 years.
The traditional leader was controversially installed as the coronation was done despite a High Court interdict obtained by the members of the Bere clan who were disputing Tafirei’s ascension to the throne.
Unconfirmed reports claimed that Chief Bere died due to suspected poisoning during a beer drink as the chieftainship dispute remains unresolved.
