Chief Charumbira tears into civic society groups

Chiefs Council President Chief Fortune Charumbira has accused civic society groups of blaming cultural beliefs for fuelling child marriages.

Speaking during a breakfast meeting on improving the quality of social service delivery to vulnerable groups in Harare last week, Charumbira said it was wrong to blame culture which was more elaborate than what many perceived it to be.

Charumbira said these organisations are only interested in pitching their proposals to get donor funds and they continue to say culture is behind child marriage.
