Chief Mutasa has issued a strong warning to individuals falsely claiming to be village heads within his area, stating that their actions are illegal and disruptive. He specifically identified Nhamo Chindondondo and Lazarus Nyamunokora for impersonating leaders and undermining the authority of the legitimate Village Head Machingura and Headwoman Muredzwa.
The chief clarified that only his office holds the power to appoint or remove village heads, displaying an official certificate confirming Machingura's government-recognized position. He condemned the accused for creating confusion by holding unauthorized meetings, collecting money for rituals, and causing villagers to ignore official gatherings.
Chief Mutasa emphasized that disrespecting Headwoman Muredzwa based on her gender was unacceptable. He warned that impersonating a village head is a criminal offense that could lead to arrest, urging the public to report such acts to law enforcement.
