Chief aims guns at Mpofu

NTABAZINDUNA Chief Nhlanhlayamangwe Ndiweni has accused Macroeconomic Planning and Investment Promotion minister and Umguza legislator, Obert Mpofu, of disobeying his principal, President Robert Mugabe, by interfering in chieftaincy issues that were outside his jurisdiction.

Chief Ndiweni has now sought the intervention of Rural Development, Promotion and Preservation of National Culture and Heritage minister Abednigo Ncube to rein in Mpofu.

In a letter dated August 1 to Ncube and copied to Mugabe and his two Vice-Presidents Emmerson Mnangagwa and Phelekezela Mphoko, Chief Ndiweni accused Mpofu of unilaterally changing traditional boundaries in order to impose Chief Deli of Matabeleland South.
