Traditional leaders in Zimbabwe have been accused by a leading human rights watchdog of being responsible for nearly half of the human rights violations occurring in rural areas. Civil society organizations (CSOs) have been closely monitoring human rights abuses across the country and are concerned that traditional leaders have shifted their focus from leading community development to actively involving themselves in partisan politics.
These allegations have emerged in the wake of reports that traditional leaders have been engaging in intimidation, abuse, and the politicisation of food aid distribution programs. According to Tapiwanashe Chiriga, an advocacy officer from Heal Zimbabwe Trust, traditional leaders accounted for 40% of all human rights violations in Zimbabwe this year alone. Chiriga told <a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/local-news/article/200021106/traditional-leaders-top-rights-abuse-list">NewsDay</a>:
<blockquote>
In the run-up to the 2023 elections, village heads were illegally appointed ZANU PF cell chairs and became the epicentre of a litany of human rights abuses including but not limited to intimidation, partisan deprivation of government aid, forced attendance and participation of their subjects at ZANU PF meetings, rallies and activities.
On election day, they marshalled their subjects to the polling stations forcing them to vote for the ruling party. 
The continued partisan conduct by these traditional leaders is largely a result of ignorance of the law and the few who know the law are afraid of losing their positions thanks to ZANU PF’s control of appointment processes. Some have been forced to support the ruling party because of the politics of patronage.
</blockquote>
Chiriga stressed the need for traditional leaders to adhere to their constitutional mandate and protect the rights of their communities.
Wilbert Mandinde, the acting director of the Zimbabwe Human Rights NGO Forum, expressed concern over the increasing politicisation of traditional leaders, accusing them of aligning themselves with specific political parties and abusing their authority. Mandinde stated that some traditional leaders have overstepped their boundaries and engaged in issues of political violence, which is beyond their mandate.
The Zimbabwe Human Rights Commission (ZHRC) recently reported that traditional leaders engaged in voter intimidation by identifying and taking down the names of those who voted for opposition parties. These actions raise significant concerns about the impartiality and integrity of traditional leaders.
In a policy brief released in June 2022, the Zimbabwe Human Rights Association (ZimRights) noted that traditional leaders have been characterised as “willing enablers” of the ruling party, with allegations of their involvement in politically-motivated violence, electoral malpractices, and partisan distribution of food aid. ZimRights expressed concern that traditional leaders have become an extension of ZANU PF, eroding the institution’s local ownership and compromising its neutrality.

Watchdog: Traditional Leaders Responsible For Nearly Half Of Human Rights Violations In Rural Areas

President Emmerson Mnangagwa on Wednesday handed over new cars to 38 newly installed chiefs during an annual chiefs’ conference held in Bulawayo.
The conference is being held under the theme, “Cultural Foundation for Community Development”.
Mnangagwa promised the traditional leaders that his administration will improve their living conditions.
He also challenged the chiefs and headman to ensure they defend their land ahead of the general elections.
The President promised the traditional leaders that the government will construct access roads to their homesteads, and provide them with medical aid cover, clean water and solar energy. <a href="https://cite.org.zw/new-cars-medical-aid-solar-energy-for-chiefs/">CITE</a> quoted Mnangagwa as saying:
<blockquote>
Our voters are under you since you have come in numbers, I hope you have trust in me, if you had no trust in me you were not going to come in big numbers.
Since you have trust in the second republic, we have trust in you traditional leaders in that you have to defend our land.
You have to defend the identity and the respect of the African person.
</blockquote>
The rest of the country’s chiefs are set to receive their cars in batches.

Six Hurungwe West headmen have approached the High Court seeking to be reinstated to their positions after they were unceremoniously fired for allegedly refusing to support a ZANU PF preferred candidate, the late Keith Guzah, during the 2015 Hurungwe West by-election.
The six are Member Mutinha, Aleck Munhava, Alton Manjonjo, Morgan Gora, Nobo Mahobo and Taurai Machipisa.
They are challenging the decision which was taken by Hurungwe West district administrator (now District development co-ordinator (DDC)) to remove them from their positions as traditional heads without a charge.
In his founding affidavit, one of the affected headmen, Mutinha, who is cited as the first applicant said:
<blockquote>During a campaign rally held on Sunday, April 26, 2015, at Nyambuya Primary School Ignatius Chombo, then minister of Local Government, who administered the affairs of traditional leaders, openly accused me (Mutinha) and my co-applicants of not supporting Zanu PF and its preferred candidate, Keith Guzah, and openly announced our unsuitability to be village leaders.
I further aver that during the period extending from April 26, 2015, to May 10, 2015, the first respondent (Chief Nyamhunga (Boniface Chinehasha)) personally invited myself and my co-applicants to his homestead and issued us with verbal dismissal from traditional leadership positions as village heads…</blockquote>
The matter is pending.
ZANU PF has in the past been accused of commandeering traditional leaders and using them as its foot soldiers during political campaigns ahead of general elections.
