Kharidzha to reign in Kuruleni area

Vho-Ndavheleseni Kharidzha was installed as the new chief of Kuruleni last Saturday. The event took place at the Kuruleni grounds.

During the event, Thovhele Vho-Nthumeni Masia said the inauguration of Kharidzha was "a traditional mandate and a contribution to the cultural rebirth of the Kuruleni people." The event was attended by traditional leaders from the surrounding villages, local businesspeople and many members of the community.

“We are following tradition. Chiefs form a very important part in traditional leadership. Our traditional leaders are the eyes and inform us of everything that happens on the ground and are of great use to the community,” Masia said.

He advised the new chief to work for the people and to support the government. He must also work hand in hand with the councillors, the community and other chiefs. Masia encouraged the new chief to carry out his duties as the leader of his clan with dedication. He also told him to refrain from bad habits, stressing that political parties should respect their chiefs, since they are the leaders of their communities.

He told the community not to undermine the position of traditional leaders, because it would bring instability, misunderstandings and conflicts that should be avoided at all cost. He also encouraged the new chief to work hard but warned him against the danger of power abuse.
