This paper addresses fundamental questions pertaining to the official recognition of traditional leaders as community authorities in Mozambique. The authors argue that the double role that traditional leaders are expected to fulfill as both community-representatives and state-assistants is not equally balanced, either in the original political decrees or in their implementation. The paper explains that the actual political scale tips heavily toward the state-assistance role of the traditional leaders.
