Former Zanu PF political commissar, Lieutenant
Engelbert Rugeje (Retired) has been appointed acting Chief Charamba of Bikita
following the death of his father.
He was appointed by virtue of being the eldest surviving
son of the late Chief Charamba, Mr Timothy Charamba. The late substantive Chief
Charamba died on July 16 last year. He was 97.
“It is not that I have been appointed substantive chief because
there are still many processes that have to be followed for one to be a
substantive chief that will culminate with the sealing of approval from the
President,’’ said Lt-Gen Rugeje (Rtd).
‘‘What happened was in line with the Duma traditions and
customs whereby after the death of a chief, there is a person who is appointed
to look after the late chief’s family and responsibilities (sarapavana),’’ Lt-Gen
Rugeje (Rtd) told The Herald.
