Maverick Headman Chigodora Relieved of His Duties

Chief Clayton Zimunya has cracked the whip, and relieved maverick Headman Chengetai Chigodora of his traditional leadership duties with immediate effect.

The dismissal follows a slew of allegations of misconduct by the community and expiry of his acting tenure of two years.

Chief Zimunya confirmed the latest move, adding that an assortment of allegations of misconduct against the traditional leader, prompted him to flex his muscle.

He also so said Mr Chigodora was not substantive, and his extended tenure as acting headman had lapsed.

Chief Zimunya said Mr Chigodora had exceeded his acting term by two years in contravention of the Traditional Leaders Act.

A major issue was Mr Chigodora’s foray into social media, where he reportedly used his own YouTube channel to broadcast proceedings at his court.

Chief Zimunya said he had repeatedly warned his headman against such practice, but he remained defiant. Zimunya said:

I told him to choose between being a traditional leader and a social media influencer. Social media has its merits and demerits, especially in the preservation of our customs.

“However, his actions undermined the impartiality of his court. I cautioned him that his platform would lead to biased rulings, but he could not listen.

“He persisted, which to me meant that he had chosen to be a social media influencer instead of a traditional leader.”

Mr Chigodora denied having been relieved of his duties as a headman. He insisted that he remains the acting headman of his people. He said:

I do not know what you are talking about. Where did you get that? Go back to the person who gave you that information, and maybe he will furnish you with the finer details.

“I will not comment on that because all I know is that my court is not sitting because we are in November.”
