Rwizikuru is an absolute monarchy ruled by the Mambo (weRwizi for King), established in 1964 by President Izibongo Ngonidzashe after he reached the end of his second term as President of Rwizikuru. As an absolute monarch, he serves as both the head of state and head of government of Rwizikuru.

Rights and duties

According to the Rwizikuran Basic Law, which superseded the Constitution of Rwizikuru in 1964, the Mambo is an absolute monarch, with executive, legislative, and judicial power. Thus, he has the power to appoint and remove officials at His Majesty's pleasure, to institute legislation, and to serve as "the final arbiter" in legal disputes, as well as the right to pardon criminals, without being held accountable to the people.

However, the duties of the monarch, according to the Rwizikuran Basic Law, include allocating resources "for the efficient operation of the veRwizi nation," to "act in a dignified and righteous manner befitting a King," and to allow ordinary people to come to the Mambo to try and get their grievances addressed. In addition, he is obliged to be "a chiefly figure for the veRwizi people," as he is seen to be an important leader of the veRwizi people.

Notes

  1. He and his descendants were stripped of their positions of the line of succession in 2013, due to him being an illegitimate child of Munashe Ngonidzashe and Ophelia Barnes, and his "attraction of unwanted attention" to the "decadence" of the Rwizi royal family.
  2. He and his descendants were stripped of their status by Kupakwashe Ngonidzashe in 2006 following accusations by the King that his children were offspring of an adulterous relationship, although Mweya Ngonidzashe argues the removal of their royal status was due to Mweya's support of a constitutional monarchy in Rwizikuru.
  3. Fred and his descendants were stripped of their status by Kupakwashe Ngonidzashe in 1981 following a coup attempt against Kupakwashe: Chenjerai and his descendants were subsequently reinstated in 2002, though Muchazvireva and his descendants have not been reinstated, as they continue to operate the Rwizikuran government-in-exile in Spálgleann, Caldia.
