In August 2011, the Mashonaland East Provincial Governor,
Aenius Chigwedere held a meeting with the VaNhohwe Clan, led by George Farayi Siyawamwaya. VaNhohwe were seeking official resettlement at Maganga Estates where Siyawamwaya was in residence. They argued that the colonialists drove them off the land in 1945, thus official resettlement is in order. In the meeting,
Aenius Chigwedere brought to light the historical issue relating to the Mangwende Chieftainship. Mentioning that the Chieftainship belonged to Moyo Muturikwa, not Moyo Muvhima nor the incumbent Moyo Muzukuru. He clarified that Moyo Muzukuru only ascended to the throne after gaining favour from the colonialists. Prior to that, Moyo Muturikwa held the Chieftainship. Aneas Chigwedere’s theories can not be authenticated as these are mere claims. The Nhowe Clan settled in the area before the colonialists and have held the Mangwende Chieftainship since 1606, long before colonialists came to this country. Chief Mangwende and the Nhowe Clan fought against colonial forces in the first Chimurenga alongside Mbuya Nehanda and Sekuru Kaguvi. It is worth noting that the records, as provided, are not available to the public to authenticate. Without citable information, there can be no way to see what has been included and, or omitted. Much of the connected history between the houses is citable. But the information of the Chieftainship stands disputed. There is no way to establish the credibility of the information provided. Much of that also remains as mere claims. ==References==
