MARONDERA
Former cabinet minister, Annias Chigwedere who was defeated in the Zanu PF primary elections in Mashonaland East has had a dramatic fall from higher echelons of power to become a simple headman.

Chigwedere, who was Minister of Education in Mugabe’s cabinet, has already been installed as Headman Mubayiwa in his rural Marondera, serving under Chief Svoswe.

A traditional installation ceremony presided over by Chief Svoswe was conducted at his homestead on Sunday.

Chigwedere, a historian and educationalist said he had permanently abandoned politics as a profitable option. He said the decision to settle down to the position of headman came at the insistence of his family and his conscience.

He promised to serve his people diligently, attending to all their problems.

During his installation ceremony, he was given various traditional accoutrements, including an axe, a rifle and a leopard skin. – CAJ News
