Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 74651, member: 636"] Chief Mtshane Khumalo shut down claims that traditional leaders were asking for crazy money and gear to help with the Gukurahundi hearings. The National Chiefs Council president said if any chief actually had welfare complaints, they know the proper channels to use, and running to reporters is not one of them. Private media outlets had alleged that chiefs wanted monthly payments of up to 4000 dollars, Starlink kits, and tons of fuel vouchers. The hearings that President Mnangagwa started have collected almost 10,000 submissions from Matabeleland provinces, with 70 chiefs participating in the online platform. Women made up about 60 percent of the total submissions, and the two Matabeleland regions contributed roughly equal numbers. Chiefs Siachilaba, Sinamusanga, and Sinakatenge have been leading documentation efforts in Binga District. [/QUOTE]
