Bitter wrangle between Council and Senior Chief Tafuna erupts in Mbala

Fishing boats Mpulungu at Harbor
A BITTER dispute over land has erupted between senior chief Tafuna of Mpulungu and Mbala Municipal Council.
Senior chief Tafuna has since written to Northern Province permanent secretary Mwalimu Simfukwe to compel the District Commissioner and the Town Clerk for Mbala to appear before him (chief Tafuna) within 14 days.
In an interview, senior chief Tafuna’s personal representative Chomba Sikazwe alleged that the DC and the Town Clerk for Mbala have grabbed his land located between ZAF (Mbala) and Maround compound.

Mr Sikazwe further alleged that the two government leaders had even gone ahead to allocate plots on the said piece of land and had been claiming that they legally obtained the land in question from the senior chief but have failed to present documents to confirm how the piece of land was issued to them. He said the senior chief suspects that the piece of land might be used for personal benefits.

  1. leave my chief alone ..he is nice well respected and he does not poke his nose in politics ,,whats wrong with the politics of today??

  2. Maround compound brings memories of the past! Chief vs the council, who is going to win? Anyway, check out to find out who owns the land.

  3. Those 2 leaders who are involved in the land wrangle with Senior Chief Tafuna should be investigated. There are alot of deals going on in some rural districts.The trend if not checked will result in some chiefdoms not having land for future generations.
