This is the day Enoch Kalapino Zonyera Zambuzi takes his place on the throne as iNkosi Kachindamoto VIII, completing a succession journey that began with his government installation at Dedza Stadium in August.
But here, amid the pomp and ceremony of the Kachindamoto royal kraal, it is tradition that takes centre stage. Presided over by Ngwenyama iNkosi YamaKhosi Gomani V, Saturday's coronation marks the formal beginning of Zonyera's reign under Maseko Ngoni custom.
For the people gathered at Mtakataka, it is a moment of celebration. For the Kachindamoto royal house, it is a moment of continuity. And for Zonyera, it is the beginning of a new chapter.
