The traditional leaders present at the meeting included Senior Chief Malemia, Chimombo, Nyachikadza, Ndamera and Ngabu.
In an interview with Capital FM, Senior Chief Malemia has stressed that as leaders they are not against the rail project as they have been yearning for it, but they are against is the contractor.
