“Chief Nematombo of Hurungwe passed on yesterday evening after a short illness. Cause of death is not yet disclosed. May His Soul Rest in Peace. Condolences to the bereaved family, friends and his Community,” he said.

The late Chief Nematombo’s area borders with Chief Chanetsa, and at one time the two Chiefdoms dragged each other to court, with the former claiming the latter had encroached into his area of jurisdiction.
