Facts of the Case
Background
The Mutimuri family, representing the Beperere house of the Zvimba chieftainship, brought an action seeking a declaration that only three houses (Chidziva, Mutimuri and Djakonda) are entitled to ascend the Zvimba chieftainship, excluding families with headmanship status. The Nyamukanga family (Chambara house) defended their right to succession, arguing no such customary bar exists.
