Mnangagwa downgrades Chief Musara to Headman after 10 year wrangle

MASVINGO – President elect Emmerson Mnangagwa has downgraded Chief Musara born Boniface Musara to headman putting to rest a protracted legal wrangle that dates to 2014. Musara was proclaimed Chief by the late former President Robert Mugabe in 2013. The dispute between the two chiefs resulted in violent incidents between subjects.

Court confirms Chief Musara

The High Court has confirmed Mr Boniface Musara as substantive chief for Ward 32, Masvingo East, putting to rest a protracted wrangle that dates back to the colonial era. Wards 32 and 8 of Victoria East used to be under Chief Musara during the pre-colonial era, but when the settlers grabbed the land for commercial farming, the chieftainship was banished.
