> The persecution of Chief Ndiweni is unacceptable. An attack on a chief is an attack on a people, culture and heritage. The chieftainship is rooted in a people’s identity not vindictive partisan politics and undue interference. Smith tried it but Rhodesia ultimately failed &fell.

> The institution of traditional leaders & its independence should be protected thru the framework defined in the constitution. Traditional leaders serve a vital purpose in preserving our cultural heritage, must not be used against the people they represent to silence genuine concerns

> The government should play no role in the appointment of traditional leaders, but such processes should be determined by the traditions of the local community.

> A rightful leader cannot be imposed on a people. Our call for genuine reforms driven by the people’s agenda must keep growing louder & force institutional change. It is not the role of government to impose itself on the people.
