Trial of ‘fake’ Munhumutapa begins

THE trial of self-proclaimed King Munhumutapa, Timothy Chiminya, who faces the charge of undermining the authority of President Emmerson Mnangagwa, starts today.

Chiminya will appear before Harare magistrate Winfilda Tiyatara.

It is the State’s case that Chiminya alleges that he was appointed King Munhumutapa by a spirit medium, giving him authority to install and remove chiefs across the country.
