Traditional leaders play many roles in Zimbabwean communities, culture and families.[1] They help to promote and uphold cultural values,[2] facilitate development and resolving of disputes in their communities. The institution of traditional leadership is regulated and monitored within the parameters of the Constitution of Zimbabwe.[3][4] These leaders are put in position by the government of Zimbabwe[5][6] to work with the people. A chief is not elected into office by popular vote, but through lineage, and is thus in office for life.[7]
