Torgbi Sri III Receives Delegation of Chiefs and Queen-mothers from Taviefe Traditional Area

 

A delegation of Chiefs and Queen mothers from the Taviefe Traditional area in the Ho Municipality of the Volta region has paid a courtessy call on the Awoamefia, Torgbi Sri III and the Anlo State at Anloga in the Anloga District.

The 20 member delegation was welcomed by Torgbi Agbesi Awusu II, the Awadada of Anlo state and a retinue of chiefs and queens who led them through the sacred “Agorwowornu” (traditional reconcilliation) shrine of the people of the Anlo state.

Speaking at a brief ceremony in honour of the delegation at the palace of the Awoamefia, leader of the delegation, Torgbe Kofi Dzorkporse VIII, Mankrado of Taviefe and acting president of the Taviefe Traditional area said the visit was a novel one aimed at tracing back the roots of the people of Taviefe who per the history of the EWE people, were originally indigenes of Anlo land but migrated to settle in their present location due to certain occurrences over a century ago.

The Taviefe Mankrado said people often refered to them as “Anlo-vedomeawo” and so they saw that as an opportunity to trace back their roots and to identify with “our brethren in Anlo land,” he said.

He appealed to the Awoamefia, Torgbiga Sri III to use his high position as father of the Anlo state to intervene in resolving some misunderstandings hampering the forward march of Taviefe Traditional area so as to ensure the peace and development of the area.

The Awoamefia, Torgbi Sri III praised the delegation and the people of Taviefe for remembering and tracing back their roots.

He admitted that the Anlo people were aware of their brethren domiciled in Taviefe and welcomed them back to the “motherland”

Torgbi Sri III assured the delegation of his readiness to intervene in the misunderstandings as appealed by Mankrado Dzorkporse and to ensure that peace prevail among all “my children”.

The delegation presented a big white ram and some assorted local and foreign drinks to the Awoamefia and the Anlo land as a way of paying homage to their origin.
