A traditional leader in Chikomba District has rubbished political threats made by Minister Bimha saying he does not take orders from the government official.

Bimha, who is also the MP for Chikomba West Constituency, has threatened to strip Headman Madamombe, real name, Simbarashe Nhopi of his title for allegedly refusing to campaign for the politician.

“I do not take instructions from Bimha and I will not let him manipulate local villagers for cheap political reasons,” said Nhopi.

Bimha is unhappy with the headman’ s refusal to campaign for the ruling party ahead of the 2018 elections, according to local villagers.

However Bimha told a weekly publication the headman was blowing matters out of proportion.
