"King Munhumutapa" Defiant, Installs A Paramount Chief In Gokwe

Timothy Chiminya, who refers to himself as “King Munhumutapa,” recently presided over the installation of Johnsias Mugomeri as the new Paramount Chief Goredema in Gokwe.

Despite the government dismissing Chiminya as an imposter, he has stated that nothing will deter him from overseeing the coronation of legitimate traditional chiefs across the country.

Speaking to the Southern Eye, Chiminya said he was “correcting” history. He said:

We are correcting history and I have installed Goredema of the Varozvi Moyo clan as paramount chief in Gokwe.

Chiminya also vowed to take legal action against those who “place hurdles” in his way, saying he has the authority to install traditional chiefs.

He is currently engaged in a legal dispute with the Ministries of Justice and Local Government, who are challenging his claim to the Munhumutapa throne.

Chiminya had obtained a High Court order issued by Justice Priscilla Manongwa-Munangati directing the ministry to pay him his outstanding wages and allowances as King Munhumutapa.

The ministry, however, sought a rescission of the judgment after the government labelled him an impostor.

Chiminya claimed that ZANU PF acknowledged him as King Munhumutapa by using him to perform rituals for the ruling party.

However, the Ministry of Justice said Chiminya’s claim to be King Munhumutapa is unconstitutional and a legal nullity.

The Ministry of Local Government and Public Works ministry issued a follow-up statement denouncing Chiminya as an impostor. 

In response, Chiminya is suing the Local Government and Public Works ministry for US$100,000 for defamation by calling him an impostor.

King Munhumutapa, also known as Mwenemutapa, was the ruler of the Munhumutapa Empire, a powerful kingdom that existed in what is now Zimbabwe and Mozambique during the 15th to 17th centuries.

Under his rule, the Munhumutapa Empire became a major commercial and political power in Southeast Africa, engaging in trade with the Portuguese, Swahili merchants, and other regional powers.

King Munhumutapa was known for his wealth, power and influence, and his court was described as one of the most sophisticated in medieval Africa.

The Munhumutapa Empire eventually declined in the 17th century due to internal power struggles, the growing influence of the Portuguese, and attacks from rival kingdoms.

We must have a king. The king will not dishout our land to the foreigners, the king will satisfy his people first before outsiders. As it stands now, land doesn't belong to the povo. The povo should come first, because they are the water

The abuse and the oppression Zimbabweans experience is not because of a post. It is the heart of an individual sitting president. The same post can be such a blessing and world model when it's occupied by a humane incumbent.

Chiminya is an important question. He needs be sued for misrepresentation. The Zimbabwean constitution has no rooms for kings.
