"We need a king whose legitimacy is by appointment backed by his representatives to lead an all inclusive talks not leaving out the Mambo dynasty," he said.
"The chiefs are under the Chiefs council led by Fortune Charumbira whose engagement in the talks is very crucial."
He said the Ndebele king issue has dragged on for too long while the people are suffering.
