The traditional chief of Bikita, Chief Clemence Mpakwa is reportedly facing an adultery lawsuit after it came to light that the woman he was with in compromising positions on pictures that went viral on social media last week is in fact married.
According to the publication, ‘The Mirror’, the woman in question is one Sekai Munzvovaniswa who lives with her husband in Duma at Nyika Growth Point in Bikita and she attends the same Johanne Masowe Church with Chief Mpakwa.
Munzvovaniswa’s husband is to be shattered and is making manoeuvres to deal with the chief although the couple is still living together.
It is alleged Chief Mpakwa is a popular prophet at the church where he treated Munzvovaniswa for an undisclosed illness. Munzvovaniswa then allegedly failed to pay for the service and Mpakwa demanded that the payment be made through sex instead.
The Masvingo Provincial Chiefs Council Chairman of the Chitanga Village in Mwenezi, Fenel Chauke fumed over Mpakwa’s alleged adulterous affair and accused him of abusing the Chiefs title and wearing the badge of a chief when he was only a headman.
“Mpakwa is only an acting chief who assumed that position following his father’s death three years ago. His term of office as acting chief expired last year and he is only a headman but he has been refusing to let go of the chief’s residence and title”, he said.
The viral pictures left readers questioning the role of local traditional leaders as custodians of culture and the abuse of power and cars provided to them by the Government at the taxpayers expense.
