Paramount Chief Mpezeni on a Jeep during the Ncwala procession in Eastern Zambia.

The use of the American made Jeep has raised some concerns about the authenticity of traditional ceremonies in Zambia. Online critics have accused the Paramound Chief of an opulent lifestyle that he is pushing into the Ngoni’s traditions.

There has been pushbacks from some social media commentators saying they don’t expect the traditional leader to walk. Ncwala ceremony was held this past week in Chipata.
