Resolving disputes originating within Traditional Authorities consumes government time and vital resources that could be directed towards other national priorities.

President Nangolo Mbumba emphasized this point, while urging people to respect customary laws and norms and to seek amicable resolutions.

President Nangolo Mbumba says the government is concerned over chieftaincy succession disputes, causing leadership vacuums within traditional authorities. 

The Head of State made the remark while addressing traditional leaders at Keetmanshoop. 

Traditional authority leaders in the Omaheke Region are meeting at Gobabis for a week-long seminar on leadership and management techniques.
