Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Zimbabwean-born and Black man Tafadzwa Chikoto is the new Mayor of Corby Town Council. (Read More Here).
Tafadzwa is deputised by Mayor Cllr Leanne Buckingham who were both inaugurated at a ceremony in the Town of Corby in the Midlands of England.
Rev Paul Frost – as is tradition – was given the honour of reading the charter granted to the village in 1585 by Queen Elizabeth I.
Afterwards, Rev Frost, Mr Chikoto and the village’s oldest resident, June Thomson, were lifted aloft and carried through the streets of the village where the charter was again read outside the White Hart and in The Jamb.
The Corby Pole Fair is a major community celebration for the town. In the trending video, four white men were seen carrying Chikoto on a wooden carriage on the streets of London.
