Let's revisit Tinkhundla system's foundations
Sir,
Kindly allow me to share my thoughts in your widely read newspaper on a topic which I believe is of national concern. As a country that is governed by the tinkhundla system, I think it is very important to make sure we revisit the foundations and backgrounds of this system. What have we done as a country to make sure chiefdoms are never shifted from their mandate?
It is a general consensus that chiefdoms are a foundation of the tinkhundla system. Should the foundation not be balanced and fair, the whole system therefore is useless. I write this letter after listening to a number of people’s negative views in as far rulings and judgments are made in some chiefdoms. Some residents feel that these rulings are bias and seem to lack trust in them.
In some chiefdoms people who have got neither much knowledge nor good history, are being given influential positions like that of imisumpe, umgijimi to name a few. Guess what usually happens?
It is said that in some chiefdoms when there is a dispute between an impoverished person/family versus a person driving a BMW the ruling will be bias.
In these chiefdoms people are suffering, they are losin
g what belongs to them simply because they do not have money to influence judgments in their favour from these inexperienced people who may be at the helm at that chiefdom.
I think the government and the authorities of this country are governed by the tinkhundla system.
Its backbone are the chiefdoms hence fairness must be done.
I pray that this bias practice does not reach even one of the chiefdoms under my constituency, because the slogan remains; ‘a spade will remain a spade.’ Culprits must be divulged, bias decision makers must be known.

Dear Ronnie,
Thanks for your observation and the fact that you seem to want to see development in the community by rotting out any sort of corruption.
It is true that for people to have trust in the system there has to be fairness.
However equally key is that the people must be committed to exposing any sort of unfairness that has happened to them and not sweep them under the carpet or only discuss them under tress.
There are structures in place for appeal of genuine cases.
This will ensure that the concerns the residents raise are brought to the fore and addressed adequately.
The country has a consti-tution which has a bill of rights that states that people need to be treated fairly and not have their rights trampled on.
Any sort of bribery occurring must also be reported to the police or Anti-Corruption Commission so that it could be established if this negative view people have is based on genuine concerns or merely gossip.
