A land wrangle between senior chief Shimumbi of Luwingu District and Chief Chiwanagala of Chilubi in Northern Province has escalated.
The two traditional leaders have strongly differed over the boundaries separating their two chiefdoms.
Luwingu District Commissioner Patrick Chanda has confirmed the development to ZANIS in Kasama today.
Mr. Chanda said both Senior Chief Shimumbi and Chief Chiwanagala were not agreeable on the existing boundaries thereby creating a rift between them.
He said recently the District Administrations in Chilubi and Luwingu organized separate meetings with the two affected chiefs although not much progress was made.
Mr. Chanda has since appealed to the Ministry of Chiefs and Traditional Affairs to urgently intervene in the land dispute between Senior Chief Shimumbi and Chief Chiwanagala before the situation worsens.
He observed that the demarcation of the boundaries in the affected chiefdoms requires technical experts to re-do boundaries lines to foster co-existence among the local people in the two chiefdoms.
For a long time now, senior Chief Shimumbi of Luwingu and Chief Chiwanagala of Chilubi have been engaged in a silent but bitter land dispute owing to the unclear demarcation of boundaries separating their two chiefdoms.
What do you expect from these greedy pf cadres. They lied to their people and forced them to vote pf and now they are fighting because the pf went there and caused division. Best way to lead dull people in a dictatorship is through divide and rule. Wake up
You everything is PF. PF has done this, PF has done that. Think outside the box.
I speak the truth and as the saying goes the truth hurts. I am not here to sugar coat things for your emotional and fragile mind.
