The Rwizikuran government-in-exile (Rwizi: Hurumende mukutapwa kweRwizikuru) was a government-in-exile led by Muchazvireva Ngonidzashe, and headquartered in Spreglen, Caldia, which seeks the establishment of a constitutional monarchy in Rwizikuru, which lasted from 1983 until 2021.
History
After the failure of the 1981 coup attempt against Mambo Kupakwashe Ngonidzashe, Muchazvireva Ngonidzashe, who participated in the putsch to depose his uncle, and install his father, Fred Ngonidzashe, requested political asylum in Caldia. After it was granted in January 1982, Rwizikuru severed diplomatic ties with Caldia, after Caldia refused Rwizikuru's demands to extradite Muchazvireva Ngonidzashe so he may be tried for his role in the putsch. In February 1983, Muchazvireva Ngonidzashe established a government-in-exile, with the aim of establishing a constitutional monarchy, and to end government corruption in Rwizikuru. He served as the head of the government-in-exile until 1993, when he was succeeded by Tsuru Mawere, who would serve until 2003, when he was succeeded by Muchazvireva Ngonidzashe once again.
The government-in-exile would come into prominence again in 2006 when after Mweya Ngonidzashe was stripped of his position in the line of succession, allegedly due to Mweya's support of a constitutional monarchy, he and his family moved to Caldia and joined the government-in-exile. During this period, Mweya Ngonidzashe openly advocated for the establishment of a government in exile, serving as the official Mutungamiri from 2008 until his death in 2017, whereupon he was succeeded by Muchazvireva Ngonidzashe.
After Rwizikuru democratised in 2019, funding for the government in exile decreased, which led to it beginning the process of dissolution on 27 August, 2021, with plans to shutter all activities down by 23 December, 2021.
Activities
The government-in-exile has been a strong advocate for adopting a new constitution which would establish a parliament, with a multiparty system. It has also criticised government corruption, with Mweya Ngonidzashe exposing that between 1979 and 2006, Kupakwashe Ngonidzashe embezzled 500,000,000 euclos from the royal treasury.
As of 2019, the Rwizikuran government-in-exile comprises of 75 people, of which most of them maintain the headquarters of the government-in-exile at Rwizikuru, with only twenty people playing "active political roles" within the government-in-exile.
