Vying for the throne
We find ourselves in the village of Ubuntu. Chief Mukango is sick; so this means someone needs to ascend the throne should the chief pass on. As expected where power is on the menu, there are people who feel they deserve that seat – and are willing to go to any lengths to secure their interests.
Here are some of the names to look out for as the chieftaincy battle heats up.
Chief Mukango
He is the chief of the village of Ubuntu. He is very sick and he has to name the heir to the throne before something happens to him.
Uncle Tachimba
Tachimba’s father was the chief before Chief Mukango took over the position. Tachimba was young at the time and went to school in the city. He believes he is the rightful heir to the throne.
Princess Thandiwena
She is the daughter of Chief Mukango and Queen Chawezi. She has to return to the village because her father is sick. Thandiwena will go through a lot and make many discoveries in Ubuntu.
Queen Mother Chawezi
She is the queen and will do anything to protect the interests of her immediate family. She wants what’s best for her daughter Thandiwena and has a lot of secrets that she can’t risk being exposed.
