Background
[edit]Chirumanzu Rural District Council was established through Proclamation No. 1 of 1993 which amalgamated Takawira District Council and Charter Rural Council and established new boundaries for the district.
Chirumhanzu Rural District Council has the communal area, the resettlement area and three urban areas, Mvuma, Lalapanzi and Charandura under its jurisdiction.
The three urbanized centers do not have town councils. Instead Chirumhanzu RDC now officially called Takawira RDC has set committees to run the three centers;
- Mvuma Area Committee;
Lalapanzi Area Committee;
Charandura Area Committee.
The district comprises twenty five wards; that is 12 in the communal area, 3 in Mvuma, 1 in Lalapanzi and 9 in resettlement areas.[2]
