President Mnangagwa Appoints Chief Maduna

President Emmerson Mnangagwa has appointed Mr Dambisamahubo Mafu as substantive Chief Maduna in Insiza district, Matabeleland South province.

Chief Maduna replaces his father Chief Vezi Maduna Mafu who died at the age of 86 in February 2021.

The announcement was made by the director of Traditional Leadership Service in the Ministry of Local Government and Public Works, Mr Felix Chikovo in a letter to the Matabeleland South permanent secretary for provincial affairs and devolution, Ms Latiso Dlamini.

Read the letter in part:

We are pleased to inform you that His Excellency the President of the Republic of Zimbabwe, has with effect from January 23, 2023, appointed Dambisamahubo Mafu as substantive Chief Maduna in Insiza district, Matabeleland South Province. In terms of Section 283 (a) (i) and b of the Constitution of Zimbabwe as read with Section 3 (1) and (2) of the Traditional Leaders Act (29:17).

Kindly advise the incumbent, facilitate the payment of his allowances as well as arrange for his official installation.

Chief Vezi Maduna Mafu was also Senator Chief for Insiza, a member of the National Consultative Assembly for ZANU PF and also served as the chairperson for Matabeleland South Provincial Assembly of Chiefs.

He was one of Zimbabwe’s longest-serving traditional leaders.

Maduna participated in Zimbabwe’s liberation struggle and was detained for a number of years for his involvement in the nationalist movement in the 60s and 70s.

Maduna started politics in 1960 during the time of the National Democratic Party (NDP) which was led by the now late Vice-President, Dr Joshua Nkomo.

The ZANU PF Politburo, however, denied him a hero status, despite calls from various stakeholders.
