Chiefs, Queen-mothers from Taviefe Traditional Area Pay Courtesy Call on Anlo Traditional Council

A delegation of Chiefs and Queen mothers from the Taviefe Traditional area in the Ho Municipality has paid a courtesy call on the Awoamefia, Torgbui Sri III and the Anlo state at Anloga in the Anloga district of the Volta region.

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

Speaking at a brief ceremony held in honour of the delegation at the palace of the Awormefia, leader of the delegation, Torgbui 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 Taviefe people 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 revealed that the people of Taviefe had since time immemorial being relegated to the background by their Asogli counterparts when it comes to the celebration of traditional festivals and other related activities as “we were always portrayed as not part of that traditional area but ‘aliens’ from Anlo”, he said.

“We are often referred to as ’Anlo-wedomeawo’ and so we saw that as an opportunity to trace back out roots and to identify with our brethren in Anlo land”, the Mankrado said.

He appealed to the Awormefia, Torgbui 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 Awormefia, Torgbui 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”

Torgbui Sri III assured the delegation of his readiness to intervene in the misunderstandings as appealed and to ensure that peace prevailed among all “my children”.

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