Government has warned Chief Chikwanda, Mr Kadiwa Chikwanda of Masvingo East district of possible arrest if he ignores the boundary between his area of jurisdiction and that of his neighbour, Chief Musara.
Chief Chikwanda and Chief Musara (Mr Bonface Musara) are embroiled in a boundary dispute with the former challenging the latter's control of vast tracts of land in Hwendedzo Resettlement area.
Chief Chikwanda disputed Chief Musara's installation late last year, claiming the area now under the Musara chieftainship was part of his land.
The dispute between the two chiefs almost degenerated into violence between their subjects as the two traditional leaders sought to assert their authority over the contested area.
The Minister of Local Government, Public Works and Urban Development Ignatious Chombo has since warned Chief Chikwanda to stop interfering in Chief Musara's area of jurisdiction. She said Chief Musara was legally appointed into his position by President Mugabe.
