Useless remnant from colonial era, white people didn't have headmen on their IDs, it was intended to instill tribalism amongst black people so as to divide them . As for me, the Sabhuku on my ID has been changed 3 times already!

Its very much relevant. If you were born in the city ask your parents or grand parents they know your village of origin. We are Africans and have our roots in the rural/communal areas. That identity is important regardless of how our colonisers used it.

Colonial authorities used chiefs to control African communities, imposed racial segregation by confining Africans to reserves, and enforced pass laws to restrict their movement into urban areas. It helped control African labour and limit permanent African settlement in cities

That’s why we have no identity, people want to degrade everything uniquely African about us, relevant or not the village of origin is fine as is that’s our Zimbabwean id

Redundant

No relevance whatsoever, but it does brush the egos of people who grew up in rurals

It doesn't matter in times of emergency
There's definitely someone in the rural areas who knows them or their parents and can offer assistance

But a lot of ama2k don't even know their rurals, some have migrated so does it still make sense??

Yes, if you get into an accident we can use your ID to find your rural home and in turn locate your relatives
