African Traditional Council
The African Traditional Council is a formal assembly representing indigenous customs, practices, and leadership within African communities. It typically includes traditional elders, chiefs, and community leaders who uphold cultural values, mediate local disputes, and advise government authorities on matters affecting their communities. The council helps preserve cultural heritage, promote social cohesion, and ensure that traditional laws are respected alongside national legislation. It acts as a bridge between modern governance and indigenous traditions, playing a vital role in maintaining social order and fostering community participation within the framework of national development.
