MATABELELAND Institute for Human Rights (MIHR) has petitioned Parliament to amend the Traditional Leaders Act amid concerns that village heads were given absolute power over all village projects.MIHR co-ordinator Khumbulani Maphosa told Southern Eye that there was no separation of powers when it came to the administration of village affairs.
“If you look at the Traditional Leaders Act, it says the village head is supposed to chair the village development committee and functions of the development committee are to plan and implement development projects in the village,” he said.
