Traditional rulers

Traditional rulers are respected leaders within communities, often recognized historically or culturally as authorities on local customs, land, and social matters. While they may not have formal governmental power, they serve as custodians of tradition, mediators, and representatives of their people. Their roles can include resolving disputes, maintaining cultural practices, and advising elected officials. They hold significant influence in their communities, fostering unity and preserving heritage, and are often seen as symbols of identity and continuity within their regions.
