The Mundu Chieftaincy Electoral College in
Liumba, Kalabo District of Western Province in
Zambia has finally settled for a new Mwene Mundu
designate following a High Court ruling.
According to a letter received as copied above,
the Electoral College (Chifunkutu) met on 25th
June 2022 and appointed or elected Chitumbo
Musenge as Chief Mundu of Liumba Chiefdom,
Kalabo District of Western Province.
Background information gathered on the matter is
that, replacement of Mwene Mundu Likithi who
died in August 2008 has been delayed by
protracted succession wrangles between the seven
Mundu Royal Families and one the Likithi Royal
Family which hindered the Electoral
College to carry out its madate according to
Mbunda Mbalango Customs and Traditions.
The High Court ruling as reproduced above
gave direction that both Kaunda Likithi and
Vunonge Kanyama were not elected according to
the Customs and Traditions of the Mbunda
Mbalango people and in the interest of peace and
justice thereby annulling the respondant's
chieftaincy and ordered to return all the
instruments of power in his possession to the
rightful keeper. The High Court ruling further
referred the parties to accordingly go back and
choose the rightful Chief in accordance with
their customs and traditions.
Therefore,
the letter alluded to and reproduced above
appear to be in line with the High Court ruling.
