By A Correspondent- Outspoken Ntabazinduna Chief Ndiweni says he will file a court application today challenging his suspension as the traditional leader of the area at the weekend.

He was suspended by the Matebeleland North Chiefs council on grounds that his appointment was not in line with the Traditional Leaders Act.

A Matabeleland North Traditional Leaders provincial assembly on Saturday suspended Ntabazinduna chief Nhlanhlayamangwe Ndiweni on grounds that his chieftainship is being contested.

Fellow traditional leaders argued that Ndiweni was illegally acting as a substantive chief in violation of Nguni customs, which recognise the eldest son in his family; Joram, as the rightful heir to the throne
