Farai Dziva| Ntabazintuna Chief Nhlanhla Felix Ndiweni is unfazed by government threats, it has emerged.

The government has lambasted the traditional leader for reportedly calling on Western countries to impose more sanctions on Zimbabwe.

The outspoken chief has always been at loggerheads with the Harare administration over issues related to the perceived marginalisation of Matabeleland provinces as well as the 1980s genocide, also known as Gukurahundi whose victims were mainly of Ndebele ethnic origins.

Sources in the chief’s area have revealed he is ready to speak out his mind despite immense pressure on him to retract his comments.
