Induna Inete was the one heading SAA KUTA in Mongu District where appeals from all Chiefdoms in Mongu and Limulunga districts are determined.
There is two Court system both at Lealui and Limulunga Palaces. Induna Inete presides over SAA KUTA (Court) while the Ngambela Presides over SIKALO KUTA where appeals from all District traditional Courts (Mileneñi) are determined. SIKALO KUTA is the appellate and final traditional Court in Western Province
When both SIKALO and SAA KUTA meet to discuss traditional matters of Western Province, this is what is referred to as KUTA ya MBOO.
The Powers or status of Induna Inete is equivalent to that of the Ngambelas of District traditional Courts such as Lyashimba of Mwandi Palace in Mwandi, Imangambwa of Naliele Palace in Kaoma, Yutanga of Namayula Palace in Lukulu, Muleta of Libonda in Kalabo and Mutundwalo of Kaunga-mashi Palace in Shangombo. However, the status of Induna Inete is unique since Mongu district has no chief for the District and he is presumed to be acting as chief for Mongu but he is just an Induna from the commoners.
Furthermore, he is closer to the Ngambela and the Litunga.
