Ministry of Local and Rural Development Permanent Secretary for Technical Services, Nicholas Phiri, says he is hopeful that the succession process within the Ngoni Royal Establishment would provide a positive example of an orderly transition of traditional leadership.<\/p>\n
Mr Phiri notes that there are currently more than 56 succession disputes involving traditional leadership before the courts of law across the country.<\/p>\n
He has since appealed to traditional establishments countrywide to support peaceful and structured succession processes and avoid disputes that often emerge following the death of traditional leaders.<\/p>\n
ZANIS reports that the Permanent Secretary stated that the late Paramount Chief Mpezeni IV championed unity, love and strong traditional institutions throughout his reign.<\/p>\n
He urged that the legacy of the late Paramount Chief should therefore be honoured through a dignified and peaceful transition.<\/p>\n
